[lime mica]

collar looks like

a literal collar

[slender olive]

Yep

[grim thicket]

sleeves kinda give it a polo t shirt vibe

multiple stripes thing

[slender olive]

I think having kit compettitions is a good idea

clubs should ask people to design kits for one random match ]

and then mass produce it and sell it as limited edition

[grim thicket]

hmm yes

[slender olive]

Yk that kit some man city fan did a while back? did they mass produce it

[grim thicket]

[devout geyser]

92:48

[livid yoke]

[warm marten]

[torn ermine]

hahaha

gl with that, we will see which one garcia choose

[thin ivy]

If you go to arsenal your career is done for

Barcelona, either you get benched forever or not be played at all

Idk much about PSG though

@torn ermine Why isnt pique playing anymore

[torn ermine]

he is injured lol

[thin ivy]

oh right

[torn ermine]

he got the same injury as van dijk

ACL

[thin ivy]

they wont be playing for a while eh

[torn ermine]

Its a bad one :((

[thin ivy]

Notice how liverpool's defence got so bad without van dijk

[torn ermine]

yeah

they even play fabinho and henderson at CB

they really are out of CB rn

[thin ivy]

But goddamn they still manage to have 18 points clear at the top of the table

Fabinho lol

[feral palm]

https://c.tenor.com/vALCTbjFr5EAAAAM/laugh-lol.gif

[grave glen]

not wrong

hearing all these attackers could be brought in but non are really going out

need to start selling

[thin ivy]

@feral palm i meant current arsenal

[feral palm]

Yeah I get ya

[thin ivy]

Im so sad seeing odegaard going to arsenal

Of all clubs arsenal? Cmon

[torn ermine]

arsenal sounds promising imo

[thin ivy]

Looking at how they treated ozil, nahh

[grave glen]

but the thing is if odegaard does well

real will take him back and play him

they played it safe with the option to buy

[thin ivy]

Thats true

But idk arsenal seems like a black hole atn

Also i havent heard anything about partey since like 2 weeks after he signed

[grave glen]

he has been good when he played

but he is injured

and i dont know if him going back to real would be good depending on where they are by the time his loan deal ends

plus i cant really see anyone besides atleti winning the league

2 games in hand

plus their 16 points clear of 6th

and barca sadly i dont think we can win the league

and real are struggling right now

and i want koeman fired

so xavi can come and be a long term project with faith in him

unlike frank

[feral palm]

lmfao

The same thing that happened with Frank Lampard will happen with Xavi

There's absolutely no reason why it wouldn't

[grave glen]

most likely but just wish it would not

[feral palm]

Koeman is the same level of Barcelona legend as Xavi and the only reason why you can't see that is because you probably started supporting them while Xavi was captain and you just don't realise it

Treat him with the respect he deserves

We're in a transition season after the most turbulent year in our history

And we're still in contention for 3 trophies

We've made more finals under Koeman than Valverde and setien got us to combined last season

[grave glen]

fair

but i want to see what he does in the summer with the transfer window

[feral palm]

We'd be first in the league if not for the individual errors of Ter Stegen, Neto, Lenglet, Alba and Araujo

Realistically, don't expect much this summer except for outgoing transfers and incoming free transfers

[grave glen]

araujo is still learning

but lenglet needs to be benched

[feral palm]

Depay, Wijnaldum, Garcia will arrive. Either Gaya or Bernat will come. Emerson will join us.

There'll be more outgoings to make up funds

[grave glen]

i really dont want depay

considering the amount of attacking players we have

i mean we got so much attacking players who most of them have been doing decent this season

[feral palm]

Well we probably won't have them all next season

[grave glen]

but the problem is you cant keep them all happy

and who do you sell

[feral palm]

Coutinho won't stay, Braithwaite could go. And we all know the Messi situation

[grave glen]

tbh i wanted messi to leave

u get the money

and plus a few players in the swap

[feral palm]

Coutinho, Umtiti, Neto, Firpo, Roberto, Pjanic, Todibo, Matheus

They're all on the chopping block

[grave glen]

cuz with messi u can force like any player from man city

[feral palm]

Not anymore

If he's joining someone else it's on a free transfer

We don't get anything

[grave glen]

all them can go

yh thats were we are screwed

i wish coutinho would not go tho

was good before the injury

would have still be playing

[thin ivy]

You guys dont have sht to spend with lmao

We are inconsistent

And it has always been our problem

[feral palm]

I didn't mean that aspect, but you're right

What I meant was that Xavi, a club legend, just like Lampard was for chelsea

Will come in, and not do as well as everyone would have liked

Then tarnish his legacy, and get disrespected by fans

We see it happening with Koeman rn

Why wouldn't the same thing happen to xavi

The lack of money is just another hurdle for whoever is manager

At least with Koeman he's basically got 3 players already joining in the summer for free

[grave glen]

i guess it also comes from how koeman was at his previous jobs

i mean is their really any reason to buy depay and gigi

[feral palm]

Well if its of any use, Koeman's currently in the best spell of his managerial career

[feral palm]

Wijnaldum, who knows, I personally wouldn't, but I'm not gonna disrespect him if it happens. Depay, yes, we should do it. We've seen how Koeman turned Frenkie into our best player after Messi and he could definitely do the same with Depay as a striker. For free aswell, definitely should be done

[thin ivy]

Its too early for Koeman to go out. Hes gotten rid of a few good players and asserted his plans on Barca pretty hard as soon as he came in. It would be soo bad if he gets sacked before the season ends.

[grave glen]

i mean depay as a striker no

would not work

[feral palm]

We're skint. We're not gonna be buying Haaland or Grimaldo or Upamecano or Fabian or the players we actually want. Accept that. Be logical about it and prepare to see players come in for free

Do you watch Depay?

Or do you just read twitter comments about him

He's not the same player as Griezmann or messi or Coutinho. The fact that people say he's a 10 is baffling because it's just not true

[thin ivy]

Haaland is still good

[grave glen]

i know he is good

[feral palm]

Couldn't agree more

[feral palm]

I'd sell my organs if it meant Haaland coming, but our financial situation is just too bad to even consider that rn

[thin ivy]

Haaland is the only reasonable purchase for you guys atm and maybe a couple good defenders.

Yall already broke, go broker yeet

Go yolo

[feral palm]

That's what we're doing with Gaya I think

15M is nothing in the grand scheme of things

So we're gonna get him

Haaland, 90M, + Raiola fees, just too much I think

[thin ivy]

Sell pique

Some clubs gonna pay for him just bc hes pique

Hes willing to go anyway

[feral palm]

Pique and Busquets will stay till retirement

[thin ivy]

Busquets gotta retire asap lol

[feral palm]

Wouldn't put it past pique to have retired this summer, but I think he wants to play in front of fans again

Busquets is still the best CDM we have, we need to find our replacement for him asap before losing him

[thin ivy]

Damn buiscits can still defend?

That toothpick lol

[grave glen]

but the thing is what about how pedri is being built

[thin ivy]

I wanna see frenkie start every game

Yall paid good moni for him

[grave glen]

pedri is being built as a partner to messi

[thin ivy]

Yeahh

[grave glen]

what him and suarez were

and if depay comes

then he has to play wide

@feral palm but however if messi drops to a 10

[feral palm]

Frenkie is crucial for us @thin ivy

He plays every game

[grave glen]

plays in the midfield

[thin ivy]

Oh good

[grave glen]

bruh frenkie aint leaving

[thin ivy]

Yall should develop braithwaite

[grave glen]

hmmm

and also still with ansu to comeback

it would be something like this if depay comes in

fati on the left

pedri on the right

depay in the middle

thats ur front 3

[thin ivy]

You guys are getting depay fr?

[grave glen]

and messi as a cam

[thin ivy]

Mans been quiet

[grave glen]

it works

[grave glen]

no he has been good

21 games 11 goals

shows his skill

but bringing him in would work if u play like how i have it

[feral palm]

He's 29 idk if there's much time left to develop anymore. He's been training under henrik larson these past few months and obviously he's done fairly well, but idk if the ceiling goes any higher

[grave glen]

cuz with messi as cam with puig and de jong with him in that midfield it works

[feral palm]

It rlly doesnt

[grave glen]

mingueza in cb just needs a partner

[feral palm]

This myth that de Jong is a cdm astounds me

[grave glen]

it would work im playing de jong as a cm

[feral palm]

We've seen how good he is as a b2b midfielder, putting him in a pivot just wipes away all his ability to get forward and help out with goals

[grave glen]

how can i have him as cdm with a cam

[feral palm]

Well a midfield of Messi Puig and FDJ is no defence just vibes

[grave glen]

and its a 3 man midfield

but who would u put in defense

[feral palm]

Araujo and a new left footed CB

[grave glen]

i have mingueza and sergino dest

[feral palm]

Lmao what you genuinely would play Mingueza over Araujo?

[grave glen]

no

mingueza pairs araujo

its a 433

build

[feral palm]

Bro you're playing fifa

Mingueza and Araujo won't work long term

Not as a pairing

We need a left footed center back to pair Araujo, and Garcia and Mingueza as backups at best

[grave glen]

and why would that be

i would like to know why wont they work

[lime mica]

Oh no

I heard Lahoz is refereeing the Bilbao game

[thin ivy]

Bro i didnt know we had this much debt

Who do we owe lol

But ofc barca is the best

1b lol

[iron marten]

Jesus..

Lord have some mercy

On Barca

[thin ivy]

Selling messi wont help their debt not one bit

[grave glen]

[thin ivy]

And hes about to retire

So

Gg

Inb4 third division

[grave glen]

i mean the 850 and plus the amount we could have gotten out of dembele would have helped

[thin ivy]

You guys paid too much for some9ne who spent the majority of his time on fifa at the hospital

[iron marten]

They have to cancel the new stadium called Espai Barca or something, otherwise Barca would be like 3.2b in debt or something

[thin ivy]

Those are rookie numbers

Barca should bump it up to 5 billion

[iron marten]

I'm afraid the club gets deleted lol

[thin ivy]

Equipo deleto

Yoo gomez just joined sevilla

Theyre about to get hella more dangerous

[iron marten]

Yeah I guess

[hybrid python]

You’re renovating your stadium makes sense

Ours is different thing lmao

[thin ivy]

Lmao

Oh so its our stadium thing thats causing our debt?

I thought it was a player signing thing

[upper drift]

Dayum LaLiga clubs are in a huge debt trap

[thin ivy]

Imo, ac milan should go fuck it and spend as much on new signings and go broke

We need more triple a players there

[hybrid python]

Lmao

[hybrid python]

Si

[simple matrix]

its definitely a planned debt, but with the pandemic its going to be hard to generate revenue off it...

[icy crypt]

^

Although when the stadium's done our revenue should go up a bit

[covert monolith]

[devout geyser]

I am excited for Santiago Bernabeu

[stone fox]

we clearly planned the debt

for stadium renovation

I think the timing was wrong though

because of pandemic

[livid yoke]

I feel like investing in a stadium is always sensible, because it's great for the long term

[livid yoke]

pretty sure that was deliberate so that you wouldn't lose revenue from not having fans

[devout geyser]

I mean

when they planned it

there was no pandemic

[stone fox]

exactly

so how would we know

[livid yoke]

ah ok, I didn't know that

[stone fox]

im not against stadium renovation

[livid yoke]

in that case I'd say they got lucky with the timing

[stone fox]

but we need transfers

we gotta improve our squad

we mainly need a RW

a CAM would not hurt either

[livid yoke]

doesn't Ødegaard play both those positions lol?

[stone fox]

Odegaard went to Arsenal

on loan

also he is CAM/RM

not RW

[livid yoke]

ik, I'm just saying it's not like you don't have the players

[stone fox]

plus he isnt fast enough to be on a wing

I mean

[livid yoke]

you don't necessarily have to be fast to be a winger

[stone fox]

Rodrygo was in good form

until he got injured

see this is our problem

our players suddenly enter good forms

and then get injured

[keen gorge]

Zidane keeps weakening the squad every transfer market imho

RM don't have any squad depth

He only has a set of players he trusts

[thin ivy]

Who were our recent signings again

Cant recall

But what i do know is, we dont do that well without ramos, kroos/modric and benzema

We might end up being ac milan part 2

[grim thicket]

we just kept selling and selling last summer, mostly to recover the finances from the pandemic

[stone fox]

@grim thicket im guessing we aint buying anyone in summer

[grim thicket]

probably no....i was hearing that the mbappe deal was only possible with a weird 5 year installment thing, 50m per year or something....but i dont think psg are gonna bite that unless mbappe pushes for it

but no point just sitting in hope for mbappe

[stone fox]

so trophyless season here we come

for fuck sake

[grim thicket]

i wouldve loved to see camavinga at madrid tho, rumours kinda died down after rennes qualified for the UCL last season and he signed the extension for 1 year

maybe possible that we could go for him

[stone fox]

we need a winger

[grim thicket]

i have high hopes for rodrygo and kubo/brahim whoever fits in, atleast way more than i have for vinicius

[stone fox]

problem is

zidane will still pick Lucas Vazquez

ahead of them

[gritty lava]

mbappe is not gonna do shit i can feel it

[stone fox]

yeah

[grim thicket]

see mate, i think Lucas has played amazing this season

[stone fox]

he is rejecting

our contract

[gritty lava]

like what happened to odriozola?

[stone fox]

Odriozola was never convincing

[gritty lava]

i miss hakimi

[grim thicket]

odriozola was always supposed to be a backup rb

[stone fox]

hakimi is more of a rwb

than rb

[grim thicket]

i think carvajal got 3 more good years in him, so i dont think the RB position is necessarily the problem

the thing is we need more depth, rotation players

[gritty lava]

real's youngest player from the so called main XI is mendy almost at 26

[grim thicket]

asensio is 25

and he starts a lot of games

[gritty lava]

asensio is rly hit or miss

[grim thicket]

vini has also started a LOT of games this season

but i prefer rodrygo over vini

[stone fox]

I remember in 2017

we all believed Asensio would be next big thing

[grim thicket]

man its the ACL injury

[stone fox]

yeah

the injury screwed him up

otherwise he would be amazing

[grim thicket]

players have been known to absolutely ruin their careers with ACL injuries, and not just in football

very rarely do players come back the same from these kinds of injuries

[stone fox]

this always happens to us though

[grim thicket]

wdym

[stone fox]

our players have good form

and then get injured

[gritty lava]

zlatan had came back but that guy is something else

[stone fox]

rodrygo is a good example

[grim thicket]

if you are talking about this season only...then yeah and it makes sense too

becoz the players have not had a proper season break

[stone fox]

we have an injury crisis like other clubs

[grim thicket]

and its not just us facing injury concerns

[stone fox]

and thats why we need squad depth

[gritty lava]

we're not gonna have squad depth at this point

[grim thicket]

also this is a one season thing imo, we dont need to worry about injury concerns for the next season i think

[gritty lava]

5 players out 0 in

[stone fox]

lots of our backups are getting injured

and we loaned out lots of backups

we should kept jovic, odegaard, kubo, brahim

[grim thicket]

most of the backups that we loaned out are a good thing imo

[stone fox]

problem is

[grim thicket]

they are getting starter minutes

[stone fox]

lots of our loanees arent doing great

only exceptions are brahim and jovic

[grim thicket]

like who?

odegaard hasnt even played

[gritty lava]

i mean bale isnt coming back

[stone fox]

i dont care about bale

[grim thicket]

bale is coming back mate

[stone fox]

yeah sadly

[grim thicket]

thats gonna be a huge concern

[gritty lava]

odegaard should have been in the main XI

[stone fox]

hopefully we actually sell him

thing ia

is*

[grim thicket]

i think odegaard was loaned instead of shipping off isco becoz there were no buyers for isco

[stone fox]

I want us to play beautfiul football

not cross and inshallah

[grim thicket]

idc about how we play football as long as we win ngl
