Ronald koeman . New barca manager.

Apparently the presidents of the other La Liga clubs are talking about putting a contract together to allow Messi to stay with Barca which sounds absolutely nuts and a slap in the face to every team’s players

Interesting to see who the next sale is.

Theyve not sold any of their youngsters yet @catcherintherye

I would imagine they will be loathed to sell the younger players, but honestly, who knows at this point. Unfortunately I don't think they will be interested in many swaps.

While I think the Lenglet rumours are rubbish, we may be able to do a crazy deal and get him on a loan.

They're probably flapping because their two biggest teams are in the crapper and their TV money will go down dramatically when the fanboys stop watching La Liga because Athletico and Sevilla win a few leagues.

Lenglet seems to get done on the turn and isnt physically quite there for the premier league i think.

If me, it would be Emerson, Araujo and Moriba who hasnt extended.

A lot to look forward to in terms of young talents and new acquisitions

Memphis, despite his Neymar-ish persona, looks like he will be an excellent addition to the attack. Even without Messi, Kun or Ansu, already shows terrific understanding/link with Griezmann

Yusuf Demir has been a genuine revelation, acquired on loan from Rapid Wien (10M purchase option) for the B team - inverted winger or attacking midfielder: effectively a #10 like Messi. Terrific pressing and very high football IQ, only 18 y.o. Seems pretty clear he will be a part of the 1st team which unfortunately means Collado will have to be loaned out

16 y.o. Gavi stealing headlines from Puig - remarkable composure & ability to play as an interior midfielder, between the lines. Not sure I have ever seen a 16 year old looking this comfortable in the 1st team setup running the offense. He will be registered with the B team (Really a Juvenil A player) but will be seeing time with the 1st team

Same goes for 19 y.o. DM, Nico - I am still in a bit of disbelief over how good he looks with an understanding of the position that explains the Busquets comparisons

Balde will be the heir apparent to Alba despite not getting any minutes yesterday and will get minutes with the 1st team this season while also sharing duty with the B team

Puig, despite clear agenda by Koeman, continues to impress but will the Dutchman favor Gavi over him? I think they can compliment eachother well

Messi, Kun, Pedri, Garcia & Emerson yet to feature in pre-season. Moriba's contract situation is at an impasse and my hope is that he is sold before season begins with Chelsea & City apparently lying in wait

Still players to move out (Coutinho, Lenglet, Pjanic, Neto, Umtiti & Braithwaite) before Messi can be signed since it appears Griezmann will be staying and accepting a reduction in wages. Dembele is believed to extend as well

Financial problems still to resolve ahead of season but talent is quite strong. Coaching? Less convinced wrt Koeman obviously, we wait for Xavi

Good luck now you fat mayo and chips eating mess

 

[Alan0401]

Have to say he's only gone and done it again!

 

[Alan0401]

Good luck now you fat mayo and chips eating mess

How he has got his last 2 jobs is beyond me, he's an utter disgrace of a manager.

 

[Efcjake]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm sure Pep will be desperate to go back now @FCBarça

He's building his own Barca in Manchester. How do you think Leo will look in sky blue?

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Confirms what we all knew, Koeman was the patsy for when Barca had to face up to their years and years of mismanagement

 

[sageyefc]

I look forward to Barcelona’s collapse @FCBarça

 

[Zatara]

Lets not forget, Barca are still way above their allowed salary limit this season -- even without Messi.

They still need to offload players lol

180 Euro these thieves were charging for a shirt in their club shop at the Nou Camp when I went. Couldn't happen to a nicer club.

Probably cos they need every € they can shake people down for… Tossers.

I’d love to see UEFA ban them from Europe for continuing to stand by the Super League idea. The loss of the CL money would surely send them under.

Come on UEFA, make it happen!!!
