Man's the 3rd highest earner in the club

IKON360:
Suarez is going. Higuain has left and even if Suarez is going for free, that's good too.

Have you seen how much Frenkie De Jong earns at Barca?

haymekus:
This is one of the reason I love florentino perez

joviegghead:
I have seen things o. See what umtiti was earning. Chai! Even Suarez!

arabmoney14:
No, how much?
Modified:
I've seen it..bartomeu is a free giver, I don't expect anything less of from him. If not for the pandemic, man could have triggered lautaro release clause

Barca have had to mediocre coaches back to back, its no surprise they are both rakitic ball lickers.
I'll still be here when you come to complain after barca has probably been kicked out of the UCL.
"Underrated" what is he doing
This same foolish coach bought paulinho and y'all applauded him.
Coming here to tell me "there is a reason rakitic plays every game".
That guy belongs in sevilla, Valencia or some club...but when you have a cheat called messi I guess every other bullshit flies as long as results come.

This is the whackest playing barca team ever and its all because of the valverde and that technique-less midfield.

Adiwana:
Are you OK at all??Sell Rakitic?? lmao.Wetin person no go read this days.I see some people complaining about Rakitic and I just laugh.Just like Busquets,many dont know the importance of the role Rakitic plays in this team.Just because you don't see him popping out with goals or going forward or doing some defense splitting passes doesn't mean he's dispensable.Rakitic gives room for a box to box midfielder like Vidal to operate.Without a CM like him who just patrols the midfield area,Vidal's function will be highly limited and this will mean lesser attacking threat and just trying to dominate the midfield which we are no more playing this days


This days we play a flat 4-4-3 system in which Busquets now is no more fulfilling that DM responsibilities he's known for.Hes no more "Shielding" the defence or being that anchor that translates play from the back to attack.Playing him in an advanced position as a CM,means a natural CM like Rakitic must come in,in order for for them to form a double Pivot and not to only protect the defence but to give us that compatibility in the midfield we have been lacking for years.Infact Rakitic is now used more as a DM than Busquet.Thats why Busquet at times is substituted and Rakitic slots into that role.Hes highly underrated but there's a reason why he arguably played more minutes than any other player last year.You all should actually watch football and not some livescores

joviegghead:
Busquets has simply declined. Saying he is fraud is disrespectful. In his prime, the guy was super good on his. A typical barca midfielder (defensive tho). Probably an unsung star for years.

We lost to Bayern because we had a declining team and a useless bastard we called our manager. I hate that guy like my ex's shit.

Predicted line up tho for next season

Defence: semedo || Lenglet || Pique|| Alba
Midfield: De Jong || Pjanic ||Coutinho (AM)
Attack: Messi||Griezmann || Dembele

Likely subs: Fati||Pedri ||Puig ||Busquets||Trincao
My thoughts tho

Zedoo:
10-0 incoming. As long as semedo and alba are there

Ikennablue:
What do you guys think about this formation?

What do you guys think about this formation?

tesppidd:
Seriously who's better between Kingsley Coman and a fit Dembele?

Moura7:
Fire....I'd prefer dembele to Ansu as the 9 sha cus Ansu gets bullied alot

Ikennablue:
What do you guys think about this formation?

joviegghead:
Dembele! Don't even compare. Dembele beats coman hands down. Trickery, pace, shooting. Everything.

joviegghead:
It's not bad. But ion like it.

Push Griezmann up front. Remove Fati. And let Coutinho play the AM role. He'll be more effective than Griezmann there. Fati can be used as a sub. Braithwaite can be used for cup games.
However,
If Depay comes, I'll pick him ahead of Griezmann as no 9. The guy is trouble in opponents box.

tesppidd:
You have it all figured out don't you?

FergieRaww:
C'mon you guys should fix suarez in there, somehow!

ungrateful prlcks! lol

Lmao

joviegghead:
No way! Dembele as 9?. waste of talent. Put him on the wing and expect magic.
Honestly, I want Depay to come.

joviegghead:
OH! You mean they'll get injuries that will sideline them till their contract expires? Or what are you planning?

Moura7:
but he might actually deliver there, I mean he's not that different from mbappe and mbappe has played as a 9 on some occasions for PSG. The pace, trickery, both feet and shooting power too.
I don't know sha...just thinking out loud

joviegghead:
Lol!
Messi is actually better than Griezmann both as a false 9 or while playing free role.
But Koeman might do as you've mentioned. I don't know. Because reports have been flying than he wants Messi to focus solely on attack. That could mean allowing Griezmann the free role. Hence, no free role 'preference' for Messi. He'll play where and how the manager wants.

As for creativity, the only person I can bet on in the midfield is Puig but he's not a starter. Coutinho in the Midfield is just another attacker in the center who loves pushing forward, doing few take-ons, and looking to shoot not pass or create something. That's what he does.

The only person who creates chances regularly, is Messi. I don't what Pjanic will do tho.

As for Griezmann, the only reason he could be given a free role is probably due to his work rate (that guy get energy).

joviegghead:
"They've been very positive. We're two weeks in and the players are working very well. There is a good level of intensity in training, fIrst of all with the fitness side in the opening weeks, and now with tactics."

"The players have shown a lot of spirit, interest and intensity, and that is the most important thing, because for me you have to train how you play. It's very important and I am very happy with the work that the team have done over these two weeks."


The game against Nàstic

"Each player is going to get 45 minutes; it will be a game with two separate teams. We will look for intensity, order in our play, how we want to play with the ball, transitions and pressing... things to improve and to see how we want to play."


This man and intensity ehn. He's always emphasizing it. I just hope the attacking style he has been preaching and the rigorous fitness training pays off.

tesppidd:

Make he nor use intensity kill person ooh.
