Madrid fans wya im lonely here
iron marten
There's one thing I realised in this season's Champions League. Your form doesn't matter, who expected Dortmund & Liverpool to win even though they were in bad form? Exactly, almost no one. So, winning 4-0 against Cadiz doesn't mean shit. You could be winning 10+ games in a row and still lose to any team.

You also need luck in ucl, one game and you are out
iron marten
Well, if you have specific players to win you games, then you're in safe hands.

Not with barca tho
Same with us
We dont have that ONE player that coulf guarantee us trophies
And its not bc we dont have ronaldo, look at juve now.

messi and ronaldo are too old to carry their team
i mean they still are
but not to trophies

reportedly perez is saying he’s going to spend big on transfers this summer
there’s no plan B, they will try to get both haaland and mbappe if they can
also offloading 100M worth of players
so in prediction of Madrid had a modest 150 million saved, that should be 250m for transfers this summer

Getting Haaland & Mbappe at the same time seems ridiculous, considering that Real Madrid are also somewhere around 800+ millions in debt.

We can't retire shirts in la liga @plain elbow

oh fuck your right

Well, we can, informally
But
Yno how in serie a and bundesliga and premier league
All their numbers can go up to like 99
plain elbow
yes
feral palm
In spain, the highest number any first team player can have is 25
So basically in italy, they retire shirts all the time but that's bc they've still got so many shirts that they can use
If we retire one, we don't have much room left
plain elbow
highest number is 25 for registered first team players right?
feral palm
So obviously the maximum number is 25, but if we retired a shirt number then we would lower the amount of first team players we could have
And that just wouldn't be good
B Team players can have any number iirc
But it makes no sense to be registering players as b team

gaya would be excellent signing for us.
but, i'm not very keen on getting myself excited for the summer transfer window, based on our current financial situation.
the presidential candidates have been slightly outspoken about their recruitment plans, but i'm not too unfazed atm.

Even in our financial situation
We've got a long summer ahead
Plenty of outgoinga
Outgoings*
Coutinho, Umtiti, Firpo, Neto, Matheus are all leaving at the very least
Messi ofc
We also gonna find out the future of Lenglet, Pique, Busquets, Roberto, Alba
plain elbow
yes, there are plenty of players that need to be moved out immediately, first one i'd go with is clement lenglet.
honestly, i'll pay for his plane ticket.
worst defender i've ever seen at the club in my lifetime
nearly as bad as dymtro chygyrnsky
feral palm
He was solid for a while, he obviously was bought as a backup and somehow found himself as the undisputed starter
plain elbow
then again, we didn't wait three years to get rid of chygrynsky
feral palm
So I'm not gonna go so far as to say he's the worst defender for barca I've seen
iron marten
To think that someone's actually worse than Mathieu or Vermaelen at Barca? Interesting..

lenglet has tested my mental health.
and in terms of those players you mentioned, they were pretty bad as well.

oh god, don't get me started with murillo, and i'm of colombian decent.

mathieu was quite shocking as well, but i'll never forget the shift he put in el clasico back in early 2015, where he scored as well if i'm not wrong.

Mathieu said he didn't want to play for Barcelona
So I have a grudge
But yeah he had his moments

yerry mina, was someone that maybe didn't get too many opportunities either, but it seemed quite clear from the start that he wasn't going to work out.
feral palm
Oh yeah jesus lmao

Mina was also horrific..

Mina was worse than lenglet
plain elbow
mina was a solid on his debut against getafe in 17/18, but the rest of his stay at the club was a meme.
like the time he danced after scoring a pen in that friendly

hahaha

for the colombian NT though, he's absolutely horrifying.

Shall we just say that he's a shit player?
feral palm
plain elbow
yea, ig
plain elbow
mina can be good on the day, but he's inconsistent overall
feral palm
Then they lost on pens :(
iron marten
Another horrific transfer was Andre Gomes at Barcelona. He missed clear chances and has almost done every single mistake, up to 95%.
plain elbow
when we signed andre gomes, that’s where I flicked the switched, and seriously began doubting bartomeu.
feral palm
damn I just looked at the stats, mina only played 7 games for us
We definitely only sold him for 30M because of the world cup
plain elbow
andre gomes was one of la liga’s worst midfielders in 2015-16 imo, and I was appalled to find out that he’d earned himself a move to barcelona! of all teams...
iron marten
Hmm, most of Barcelona's transfers have been pretty weird. No wonder they're in debt.
iron marten
And don't forget the project called 'Espai Barca', yeah? They should cancel that for sure, otherwise they're in 2.5 bn debt or something like that.

Would you say that Barca fans are the most toxic fans?
feral palm
I don't know
I think that Messi FC are the parasite of Barca's fanbase
And they're the real toxic ones
Who want him to succeed, above the interests of the team
If someone's not performing well? They want them out, just so long as they get wins for Messi
iron marten
So you wouldn't technically mind if Messi leaves this season?
feral palm
No
I want him to be happy and he's given everything for Barcelona
If he stays and retires at Barcelona I will be so happy, but everyone wants an adventure
iron marten
I understand
plain elbow
I want him to stay, but I respect any decision he takes.
my only regret, is that if he does truly leave at the end of the season, i feel like the pandemic will ruin the send off he deserves.
feral palm
^^
I have tickets to a camp Nou game, got them this time last year, haven't been able to use them
I've missed out on seeing Suarez
I don't wnna miss Messi
plain elbow
yes, messi deserves a stadium packed with fans to send the lad off.
not a corny press conference.
well, looking back at things, puyol should've gotten a better send off imo.
feral palm
Yep
plain elbow
we'll see we'll see, I rather not fiddle around with the idea of him leaving yet, but he'll go sooner or later.
and by the looks of it, it'll be sooner.
iron marten
I can understand why he wants to leave, he's been suffering since 2017.
iron marten
Yes, but thanks to Dembele, Barca haven't done it.
feral palm
nah we blame the defence
Defences fault we conceded 5 to Levante on the 2nd last day of la liga, defences fault we conceded 4 at anfield, defences fault we bottled the CDR final to valencia
plain elbow
don’t remind me about 18/19. such a remarkable season that flopped around like a pancake in the span of just two weeks.
feral palm
:c
99 goals scored that la liga season
We were literally one goal away from being invincible
With 100 goals
iron marten
I'm sure I've asked this before, but do you guys think that Valverde was a bad manager at Barcelona?
feral palm
it's complicated
He got results, but not in a way we liked, and over time he just started to get caught out more and more
In embarrassing ways
plain elbow
I liked valverde, but in general, his stay at the club will surely be marred by those champions league debacles.
plain elbow
i’ll give you that, you’re correct.
although, koeman hasn’t really been able to stimulate the team enough for big matches.
iron marten
Now that I think of it, Valverde really did act like some sort of robot.
feral palm
I like Koeman as a character, but Valverde and Setiens press conferences could put me to sleep
iron marten
But the players were actually happy with Valverde, or was it all a lie?
slender olive
Idk because he gave them everything he wanted
feral palm
They were happy with how much power and freedom he gave them
slender olive
They were happy with how much power and freedom he gave them
yh
plain elbow
^
feral palm
He wasn't like Lucho or Pep, where he was a good manager and friend to the players
iron marten
They were happy with how much power and freedom he gave them
And maybe that's because why Messi was on fire! He took advantage of him.
feral palm
He was just a manager that gave them what they wanted
feral palm
And maybe that's because why Messi was on fire! He took advantage of him.
Valverdes instructions were along the lines of 'okay leo do ur thing, everyone else, pass to him'
slender olive
Yea
iron marten
But I remember where Messi didn't take part in some of the games in which Barca have played. What about the remarkable 5-1 win over Madrid? Was it all luck?
feral palm
No not luck
plain elbow
well, at the time, it was quite obvious that we were the better side of the two.
feral palm
That was one of the worst rmas of recent years, so it can be a bit of a false image
plain elbow
madrid sacked loptegui within days after that if i’m not wrong.
slender olive
But I remember where Messi didn't take part in some of the games in which Barca ...
We were still okay back then. madrid were absolutely trash
iron marten
Oh yeah, I remember
slender olive
Imo the best game we've played w/o messi is the 0-4 in 2016
eager marlin
Barcelona please sign milan skriniar from inter 🙏
eager marlin
he is a world class defender and he is from our rivals 😈
plain elbow
lol
eager marlin
he’s also lowkey so won’t go for TOO much
iron marten
Imo the best game we've played w/o messi is the 0-4 in 2016
But Messi came on in the 2nd half, only assisted 1 goal though.
slender olive
But Messi came on in the 2nd half, only assisted 1 goal though.
yeah before that it was 0-3
Still very good
We were tearing madrid to shreds before Messi came on
iron marten
Hmm
I still think that the 5-1 win over Madrid was Barca's best El Clasico win without Messi.
thin ivy
Didnt score as much as we wanted but that casemiro was good
Glad he stepped up when none of the forwards could
stiff fjord
Madrid midfielders are better than most attackers
still pagoda
Yeah
Courtois was really good, but I don't want him to be working this hard against a relegation zone team...
And that clearance from Mendy
Wtf was that
Luckily Courtois was there

Would be a great day if Cadiz can win or at least get a draw
gilded mist

Is odriozola injured?
marcelo, militao, ramos, odriozola, and carvajal all injured
gilded mist

jovial sluice

gilded mist
one of the most important in the season
jovial sluice
one of the most important in the season
important losses
now the title race is heating up
4 horse race
gilded mist
it would be nice if you won aswell, to have a 3 horse race
jovial sluice
we have 2 games in hand
gilded mist
and 6 points
jovial sluice
if we win them both we will be 2nd
gilded mist
so we are basically tied
jovial sluice
and 6 points
against elche and cadiz
cadiz are the giant killers
but they are abysmal in their past few games
plus we have the pointless home disadvantage
gilded mist
the title race will be more interestng if you win
jovial sluice
but then sevilla away
gilded mist
but i prefer u lose
jovial sluice
we will drop points there
jovial sluice
but i prefer u lose
btw how did you feel when real won
plus
you live is barca right
gilded mist
yes
jovial sluice
so what motivated to support the rival club of the team in the place you live
gilded mist
valladolid is pretty close to Madrid
so my family supported madrid
and i grew up watching games with my dad
gilded mist
but actually i am not from valladolid
jovial sluice
what bout your parent
gilded mist
specifically my local club are in the third tier
jovial sluice
cornella?
jovial sluice
ok
gilded mist
But supporting the rival club of everyone around you it pretty fun
it's no fun when everyone always agrees with each other

grave glen

gilded mist
no no it's that that is the title race
grave glen

They r right behind the backs of rma and fcb

grave glen
Considering games in hanf
jovial sluice
atletico - barca, madrid - atletico, and el clasico
sevilla barca too

We should he happy
La liga has competition alive
Unlike bundesliga and premier league ligue 1
gilded mist
sevilla barca too
i know i just realized
they are so close
they could win it
one point behind barca and madrid
if they win their games in hand
grave glen
1 point behind rma
thin ivy
Mariano had that great dribble tho
but a valladolid player got fouled so it had to be stopped
I think Mariano is decent he just doesnt get played enough
Also wtf was that mendy cross
thin ivy
He usually is but he makes the dumbest mistakes
jovial sluice
He usually is but he makes the dumbest mistakes
he is like the smart kid who get all the hard questions right but f**ks up the easy ones
gilded mist
his attacks tho
thin ivy
Yeah
jovial sluice
but marcelo is not washed
yes but most of the plastic fans say that he is finished and should never wear a madrid jersey again
gilded mist
nor his dribbling

yes but most of the plastic fans say that he is finished and should never wear a...
Thats just rough
gilded mist
yes but most of the plastic fans say that he is finished and should never wear a...

120min vs alcoyano and 5 vs getafe

😂
like i said
zidane gotta come out of retirement
and play whatever the fuck position we need
to fill
bc i swear we arent going anywhere with our squad
gilded mist
trying to win the title with that defence
thin ivy
Still not as bad as barca defence lmao
gilded mist
thin ivy
LV>>>>>Any barca defender that isnt pique or alba
thin ivy
hes meh
umtiti and lenglet are supposedly world class but they clown around
way more than mendy and militao
halcyon latch
umtiti lenglet world class
thin ivy
they have WC
Glad varane is back in form
bc nacho cant carry
imagine if varane still has city ptsd
gilded mist
varane wasn't out of form
thin ivy
he was for a few months after city
thin ivy
now he does ig
but a few matches after city he was shite
nacho is in and out of form
mostly good tho
gilded mist
we can barely see him play anyway
thin ivy
not these past few matches cus he been starting
gilded mist
do you prefer militao or nacho? fully fit
gilded mist
ye
thin ivy
i think with militao his issue is positioning
gilded mist
he cost us so much
gilded mist
this was the first result on google
thin ivy
what the fuck
gilded mist
this can't be true
thin ivy
thats expensive for bench warmers
i may not be as thicc as jovic but i can warm those bench seats just as well
gilded mist
and there wages
they are probably the pair of most expensive bench heaters in the world
thin ivy
hazard too 🙂
thin ivy
we couldve signed a better CB for less from a mid table la liga club

jovial sluice

gilded mist
g'day

Just for a season
Also still hate how we let go of hernandez
Hes easily top 3 LB across europe rn

Idk
Idk why not why we sold him in the first place
Its not like we signed any major CB after him
Its still varane and ramos
gilded mist
i've heard about this big project to raise funds
for big name players
if you were real madrid, would you sign haaland or mbappe
halcyon latch
Mbappe
thin ivy
Haaland is less injury prone too and is a meme goldmine
gilded mist
who do you guys think haaland will sign for?
thin ivy
Also if we sign haaland we better hire alica schmidt too
thin ivy
who do you guys think haaland will sign for?
Rma obvio
halcyon latch
who do you guys think haaland will sign for?
Idk tbh
thin ivy
I dont see him going anywhere else

Mbappe wants to stay at psg tho and he has made this clear
