Being a good dribbler is by far not enough to be a good player. Decision making is a much more important attribute and he doesnt seem to be wanting to improve in that domain

Horrible management might be the worst
Pjanic will join Tottenham,Griezmann will get sold,Umtiti will be send on loan or will be terminated
Coutinho is a useless player heās earning 24M a year just to sit at home and watch games

Umtiti doesnt want to leave Barca lol
and I understand him.
he's on crazy wages
living in sunny/mediterranean barcelona
why would he want to trade that for a loan/permanent move somewhere up north?
if anything, he'll be happy to go to war with us if he gets his contract terminated unilaterally as well, he'd be in for crazy compensation.

No solid rumours about his possible destinations but yeah griezmann is very likely to be sold.
Unless he agrees to decrease his 880k a week salary somehow, which is unlikely imo.

no way griz is sold
he's our second best offensive contributor
he had like 30 direct goal involvements last season
while playing out of position
and in a secondary role to messi
plus we spent 120m on him
we're not just gonna ship him
fading ember
Right now the position we are in anything canāt be ruled out.
Personally I also want griezmann to stay if I think solely on football terms.
But when seeing our financial status I am not very sure whether keeping a guy on a salary of 880k per week sounds reasonable
Either he agrees a pay cut or he leaves.
Because if either doesnāt happen we are fucked.

Great lol

its hard for american to follow football tbh, since they grew up watching a different kind of sport, basketball is fast pace with players hooping and get the ball in most of the time, so thats not really boring. I gotta say football sometimes is slow pace but i understand because some teams played calm possession football, so it might be boring for them

Barcelona became unsupportable, to my standards

Hmm, it's still a mystery to me..
I know you're not basque, but that doesn't matter too much, I guess
icy jolt
One of the reasons is that I'm fascinated about languages and I tried to learn Basque before
Catalan too, to some extent
I'm also interested in Spanish history and am learning Spanish

Oh wow

Rivalry is everywhere
But laliga has really good ones
Not after dembele and vinicius joined
torn ermine
tbf most rivalries are because of civil wars and politics in the past
torn ermine
Not really
"Most" not "all"
icy jolt
La Liga rivalries are mainly because of the regions of Spain as a country, like El Clasico which is the central authority against the people, Athletic vs Barcelona which is the fight between the autonomous regions, Basque derbies between Athletic and Real Sociedad or Derbi barcelonĆ (Barcelona vs Espanyol) which is about the people wanting change versus conforming to the authority

I can't remember when we got thrashed in the round of 16
We always put a good fight, I think

Not that I rate him in any way, but I genuinely donāt think he was really attention seeking when he opened up about his mental health and the abuse him and his family were getting earlier in the tournament.

He isnt confident when attacking
torn ermine
I still remember his solo run against bayern, still one of the best matches i have ever watched
morata at best was amazing honestly. He is inconsistent sometimes(?)

Let's stop talking about Morata, his name is being mentioned everywhere
