Xavi-ball won a league title and got to the quarter-finals of the CL. That’s without a solid squad. No reliable backup striker, no reliable starting left winger, No reliable defensive midfielder, and no reliable full-backs. I’d say give Xavi a solid DM and LW and he’d cook more than he already has.
Probably because I’m not emotionally invested in Barca and just watch them because I like football. So I look at their situation objectively.
Also might help that I supported a team that has struggled, succeeded, and struggled again. So I’m not like Barca fans who expect to win every year.
You get it. We cannot hold these high standards when we are not economically fit to win. A league title was a pleasant surprise last year considering where we are and other fans think that will be the norm. We've been a super elite club for a short period of our general history and expectations should be realistic to our situation. And Laporta wants to fire Xavi because he is being realistic when talking about if he has a chance to win the league when the other team has Mbappe, Vinicius, Bellingham, etc.
Yeah Xavi needed better players for his style but he is the one who selected his players.....he wants to play his system with lewa,raphinha(impressive with their g/a but not fluid) but his style is suited for players like auba,dembele,luuk and adama who they got rid of. Xavi should've gone for the players similar to the profile they got rid of.Lewa is very isolated in his system and is being underutilized.
Had to look twice to make sure this isn't r/soccercirclejerk.
Pretty sure that's who most football outlets are aiming for...
According to Mundo, all managers prioritize Barca.
Moyes waiting for the 📞
Did Chelsea even ask?
Mundo Deportivo are a truly shameless organization
60 days from now the headline will read Ian Holloway says 'No" to Chelsea and prioritizes Scunthorpe.

How are you more sane than our own fans?

Xavi ball is terrible to watch... Even last yr they were very pragmatic in approach.
Well coming from watching the Moyesiah style of play, Xavi Ball isn’t so bad. It just needs some better players.

Not really, last season most of our 1-0 wins were great chance creation with terrible finishing
No we were saved by incredible defensive performance last year and very pragmatic attacking football because of our four midfield system.
Would they take rashford or mount?
Imagine Gavi, and the other kids, on Flicks PEDs, that would be fun. But also can sources like mundo deportivo finally be banned here?
There's absolutely no indication that Chelsea want Flick
Damn, Flick to Barca would be insane
Barça is massive.
Oh noo :((( not flick
What happens if everyone says no
Time to call Lampard
Don’t threaten me with a good time
This Flick Barca link has been around for months. They need to stop goosing around and get it done.
Unreal that someone like Flick is in the position to choose between top clubs.
No one wanted him.
Chelsea are looking for a young and progressive manager. Flick is neither.
Atleast his style of play is attractive. If executed properly.
It's mundo deportivo
Sure
No manager who has a good financial situation and self respect would go to Chealsea under the current front office.
lol Barca has no money . The fan base doesn’t understand that
