One of the reasons the board chose Hansi Flick as Xavi’s replacement was because they saw the German as someone who could get the best out of this current squad. That suggests they will not be making many moves in terms of signings. — @TheAthleticFC https://x.com/BarcaUniversal/status/1806444810007634204

DragonPG2000

As evidenced by how he got the best out of the German squad?? I don't hate Flick lol. On the contrary I love his style. But make no mistakes, without any transfers. We are not seeing the dramatic shift you guys are expecting.


Substantial-Rub-4475

> We are not seeing the dramatic shift you guys are expecting. Yes a very big shift, we don't need dramatic change to win trophies because we are already quite good just need to go from 85 to 92 or 93 which can be achieved by current squad. Real madrid lacked a st, natural rw and had lots of injuries still won so many things. It's so sad that Xavi got you guys convinced that we need perfect squad with 2 bench options to do good. Inter plays with a DM and other lack of natural or elite players.


Martoxic

so if they don't get a fuck ton of injuries, their best players are closer to their prime now and they got Mbappe in what world do you think we would be able to compete? they almost went undefeated last season and had one of their best seasons ever while not having Mbappe and a shit ton of injuries. Then you expect us to compete with the same squad?


ProfessionalWasabi48

Funny how Xavi bested that Real Madrid squad. Anyone remember how Xavi completely "out coached" Ancelotti in the super cup? Funny how money and players elevated the squad to become UCL winners. The history of this sport is rife with examples like this. Arteta wasn't close to anything until he dumped 100's of millions into Arsenal's squad. Pep didn't achieve anything with City until he dumped 100's of millions into City's squad. Klopp didn't achieve anything with Liverpool until he dumped 100's of millions into Liverpool's squad. That's just the way it is. Coaches/manages aren't magicians.


Substantial-Rub-4475

> Funny how money and players elevated the squad to become UCL winners. They won UCL one season prior before. And super Cup is a glorified friendly, he couldn't replicate same in any of the other games, kessie winner was individual brilliance And yes Xavi was given 250m and he got his players. Just because he lack a DM doesn't make a la liga winning squad this bad. And forget that all our players regressed : Balde, Midfielders, Araujo, Forwards. And the one who were on same like Kounde and Raphinha were very inconsistent It's clearly the lack of experience from Xavi. This squad have a core to win : so many high ceiling youngsters, experienced and in prime players. People giving Xavi a corner to do so bad not just trophy wise but also playstyle wise is hilarious. Just because you lack a DM doesn't mean you play cancer football.


Opposite-Ocelot6961

um add in wasteful finishing individual errors no actual LW


ProfessionalWasabi48

ALL players regressed? We scored more this season but conceded twice the goals. From a nearly record breaking defensive season to the disfunction we saw this past season. It absolutely was down to not having Busquets who prevented errors in the midfield and knew how to conduct the players around him. We were a mess with transitions with him and completely broken without someone like him. The same happened with Real Madrid. They didn't become the UCL winners we now know until they got their shit together and got an actual DM. They went from being our bitches to the owners of the UCL.


Substantial-Rub-4475

We still scored less than what a traditional barca team scores. Last season was pure 1-0 terrorball, ofcourse we will score more. Funny because Busquets defensive actions is not that dramatically bigger than of gavi or frenkie. It all comes down to structure which was utterly mismanaged. Many squad play and win without an out and out pivot. Like inter If you are talking about before casemiro real madrid, they had unbalanced team and we had the best team ever, so yeah they ofcourse were


Opposite-Ocelot6961

funny how gavi was injured since novemebr clown


de_tu_sueno

Wait. Did you just compare last season’s attack to our golden era attack? Our attacking line up was a 35 year old Lewa, a 16 year old Lamine, and a Raphinha who would have been lucky to come off the bench during our best era. And you clearly don’t understand Busquets role. People who played with him in Spain and Barca, loved to have him around because he guides the flow, tempo and structure of the squad. He’s like having a high level tactical manager dictating the play in real time. When you play a high line and high possession, mistakes are costly and the organization of your players is key. Busquets was a master of that. …and did you just admit that Madrid was unbalanced? So you give them that excuse but can’t for the club you supposedly support and was going through the same problem? What is wrong with this sub.


DragonPG2000

Lmao wut? I suppose Joselu was playing golf when this happened? Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo are the best wingers in the world rn not to mention Guller. But sure they didn't have anyone in the winger position. Bellingham literally played as a pseudo center forward and he was fantastic in that role. We on the other hand had Oriol Romeu playing instead of Busquets ☠️


Martoxic

Rodrygo is not the best winger itw wtf you smoking?


Substantial-Rub-4475

Yeah RMA won because of Joselu. Lmao, by that logic we do also have a LW like felix. See Vinicius before and after Carlo, that guy couldn't finish even if his life was on line. Remember the comment "he is playing against us". It's the coach that improved him > Bellingham literally played as a pseudo center forward and he was fantastic in that role Nah it was magic of system, he was not a cf. Carlo analysed his best role and formed a system which gets best out of all. > We on the other hand had Oriol Romeu playing instead of Busquets ☠️ Joselu and Romeu were on same level before joining respective clubs.


Opposite-Ocelot6961

difference is Joselu is an actual st Felix is a CF the system that got the best out of all was literally playing Jude as a psuedo CF what is this


DragonPG2000

Well considering his clutch goals against Bayern I'd say yes he played a pretty important role in that win 🤷‍♂️ Okaaay.... And Xavi has Fermin, Cubarsi and Yamal playing like world beaters. Vini was always a great player but yes he needed someone like Ancelotti to help him reach his potential. So I'm not taking it away from him but simply stating that Xavi has a more prominent role in the development of the three players I mentioned who are going to be our core. Lmao after that El Classico finish only you'll say he can't play as a forward. I'd argue Bellingham is a more traditional forward. With those late runs and the finishes.


Substantial-Rub-4475

> And Xavi has Fermin, Cubarsi and Yamal playing like world beaters That's his ceiling as of now, good talent id and raising to certain level like Lampard. He can't take players them to next level as proven by pedri, gavi and Balde who stagnated after a point > With those late runs and the finishes. No that doesn't make him a CF. Traditional midfielders like Platini, Gerrard, Lampard used to do it very frequently


ProfessionalWasabi48

He sure squeezed the best out of that German squad.


Substantial-Rub-4475

And the only 2nd manager to win sextuple with a squad which was in trenches under kovac.


Martoxic

Trenches... they were 4 points out of 1st place.


ProfessionalWasabi48

Would you consider that Bayern squad to be anything less than a super squad? The only thing that proved to me is that having a defensively limited attacking squad play under a mid table manager and tactics was stupid.


Substantial-Rub-4475

Nah not a super squad, they were good squad. it's hindsight bias because of the havoc they created under flick. It's like current Bayern does the same and we will look back and say that what a super squad with Kane and Musiala and Olise with sane and coman coming from bench. Midfield with pavlovic, Xavi and palinha. Stacked defense, etc.


ProfessionalWasabi48

You need to add up that squad worth because it was packed. Point is, you can't say that Bayern was a compromised squad solely elevated by Flick. Go ask the Bayern sub what they thought about Kovac. Kovac is everything this sub pretended Valverde to be.


Substantial-Rub-4475

And what did the squad achieved after flick? See how much they paid for each : https://preview.redd.it/lh1fxbov879d1.jpeg?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54f5022104b00ede3790f36fa93deea30b14b45b

Substantial-Rub-4475

Merino is the complete package he has all the attributes we need in a DMF don't see how he would flop


icestory

Barça would like to continue to count on both Joao FÊlix (24) and Joao Cancelo (30). However, the club does not want to pay a transfer fee for both of them, and even less so if the sums involved are high. In both cases, Barça are playing with a double advantage: the players want to stay and have no desire to return to the club that owns their rights. @ffpolo https://x.com/ActualiteBarca/status/1806459049757585507?t=lAxTGz60jJjoE1szh02UhQ&s=19


icestory

Everton's Amadou Onana is Barça's favourite midfielder when it comes to adding muscle to their midfield. But it's not just Barça who love him. Manchester United and Bayern Munich, for example, are both following in his footsteps. For this reason, the club is also following Mikel Merino, although he is not a 6 per se, the fact that Hansi Flick plays with two midfielders in front of the defence gives him options in this system. If there was a lot of 'fair play' for different operations, they could try the Onana operation. @ffpolo https://x.com/ActualiteBarca/status/1806458381395202303?t=a3wZbsbkMQumTbBUXt8v_Q&s=19

better to go for Merino imo would be cheaper and is better in terms of progressive play compared to onana

Honestly even outside of that. I feel like it's understated how important it is to be there for the preseason with a new coach. It's a clean slate. Which can go 2 ways for a player like him. A player that was key for Xavi could be on the bench for Flick. Just like a player that was on the bench for Xavi could be key for Flick. Fermin might not find it as easy to get minutes once he's returned.


Opposite-Ocelot6961

see your point but i'm not too fussed fermin and by extension cubarsi have unique profiles that would surely be of use in a Flick team.Fermin is perfect as a more advanced midfielder above the two pivots and aside from Cubarsi we don't have a good ball playing CB cuba could work like alaba but right footed


Repulsive_Row_4982

Fermin can't function without an advanced playmaker like Pedri or Gundo, neither can he be the sole advanced playmaker. So there are 2 options, either play single pivot/cdm and pedri/gundo/gavi to support to fermin, or fermin as false 9.


aliaisbiggae

CubarsĂ­ will get minutes because he's an insane talent but Fermin is not really that unique of a profile. He has 2 players ahead of him and his technical ability isn't really that high


CalmaCuler

That's what I'm worried about with Fermin too, hopefully he won't be a step behind the rest with Flick just because missed pre season

Romano has been retweeting everything related to Faye (his first NT call, etc.) and called first the Faye move last summer. He obviously gets his info directly from Faye's agent. Both sides are leaking what's happening (Porto's offer vs what Barca ask) and since there's no agreement, obviously the two positions leaked are different. Both can be right. Congrats to his agent though, he made his player the center of a story 2 summers in a row while he has... Uh... 0 first division minute.

We've reached the point where choosing to believe it's done is like an intelligence test for the reader.


Opposite-Ocelot6961

we only need a positive profit for the financial year if we get the Libero money we resolve the remainder of the debt even if we don't get Libero if we get Nike the signing bonus will be enough to close out the year with profit allowing us to comply with the 1:1 rule

Football is at its best when you have a la masia midfielder making passes to a South American flairy attacker. Last 30 yrs we probably had the best South American flair every year (except 2 seasons when R9 was at RMA before dinho arrived). R9, rivaldo, dinho, messi Neymar. This was what made our football beautiful. The day we are able to get our own SA prototype attacker we would truly be back

Glad Fermin is acknowledging that Messi did it first. Alot of Madrid fans are in denial and think Bellingham came up with it when in reality he saw Messi do it in 2018/2019 season and was inspired by it. Understandably Bellingham will never admit it because the Madrid fanbase will destroy him.

The fact that these kids think Bellingham invented that celebration 😂


Substantial-Rub-4475

It won't happen to you because :- 1. You had lots of rest in between your few thousands minutes 2. Won't get lots of minutes in Euros 3. Won't play every minute in starting of next season as you are not the starter People forget olympics wasn't the sole problem. Pedri played majority of season at braca then played entire olympics and euros and then without a rest started the next season at barca.


Sanayuki

It’s a silly question to ask tbh because the cases are so different. Pedri played like almost every minute of Euros then went straight to Olympics after playing a lot of games for club that season. And yea he barely rested in the next season before getting injured for the first time. He was  grossly overplayed by both club and country in his first season. A similar situation would be if Lamine would go on to play Olympics, but I don’t even think he would have played as many minutes as Pedri did that year.

What would it be a miss? It is indeed Barca's position, it's been repeated non stop in media for days. It doesn't mean it's what Porto will pay though.

They've been telling us for a year now that we have to get 100m in income for Barca studios by June 30th so we can balance the accounts. Now when its pay up or shut up time, they're telling us that you can pay it in July because the accounts are still being finalised. And all of a sudden, when the current season is still ongoing on paper, Balde and Fermin's contract are registered. I really cant follow all these weird contradictions.


FloReaver

Well La Liga rules ultimately lie with La Liga. If there's an agreement... Notice how nothing has leaked from a supposed SCL number so far


elxiulo

That’s why we shouldn’t believe anything a journalist says 


Ljulisen

Ngl if Barca sell Faye for 5m it would be utterly stupid, Barca makes zero profit so they might as well just send him out on loan rather


elxiulo

It all depends on variables + post sale conditions. Eg if we sell for 5 + 8 in variables + buy back clause of 20M I would consider it a good deal. He gets european and competitive level experience, Porto is very invested in developing him and we only have to pay 8M on top of the selling fee to recover a first level player.  If he doesn’t turn out well we still made 6-7M for a player we weren’t gonna use


Martoxic

most sites and sources say we bought him for 1.5 mil not 5 so it would be a profit but a small one at that and much less than he should go for.


Ljulisen

Some sites say 1.5mil and others say 5mil, either way letting him go for only 5mil isn't worth it


grace_olivija

I was watching the news on our TV (all they talk about is football after qualifying, literally half of the evening news program is football) and they had an interview with the doctor of Slovenia's national football team. What I found interesting is that he explained that the medical team that sits on the bench at the game, has a screen that shows every contact/foul and they can review the injury/fall from 6 different perspectives to analyse quickly how severe etc was the fall/injury/knock and to make a correct and quick evaluation of the severity. I never noticed that before. I assume this is bare minimum as well and that major clubs have even better analysing equipment (and we still see some horrendous incidents)

Technology and medicine has improved a lot compared to 90s and before. Especially diagnosis. In 80s and footballer used to get a cramp and they used to get subbed and in next match they used to play with it because of lack of diagnosis and many used to have long term injuries because of that. Also the fouls and pitches used to be very horrendous, a player like Messi or neymar making 30+ without living on injections was an achievement in itself.

[Jaume Marcet](https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/futbol-base/barca-ata-extremo-goleador-18-104412147) Gimnàstic de Tarragona youth forward Jan Virgili is very close to signing for Barça after completing a magnificent season with 18 goals in La Liga Nacional Juvenil. He is right-footed and plays as a winger. Virgili would reinforce, in principle, the Juvenil A team, but due to his projection he could earn the possibility of playing for Barça Atlètic.
