    But their market value is also over 1.1bn according ot transfermarkt. Why would they need to buy any player?

    Pedri makes Barca's midfield tick. We need a player of his profile.

    This is a good opportunity to put the pressure on Barca.

    Mou sounds bitter that he's washed and can't get a PL job nowadays.

    Casemiro confirms that he will leave Utd at the end of the season. Should join Modric and KDB in the Serie A

    Laporta calls for elections

    The FC Barcelona board of directors has called for member elections on March 15. The president will have to resign by mid-February.

    The club's board of directors has determined that this date will have the least impact on the first team's performance and, although they haven't explicitly stated it, they want to take advantage of a moment when Barça will be still in contention in all competitions and, presumably, with the stadium already open at its 62,000-seat capacity, a figure expected to be reached by the end of February.

    "We chose this date because, both institutionally and from a sporting perspective, it is the most appropriate ," Laporta stated. He added, "We are convinced that these will be exemplary elections, with high voter turnout, and that they will become a true celebration of Barça spirit."

    Mou won a big title a decade back. Got sacked by Chelsea, Utd and Spurs since. PL teams not gonna hire him, Pellegrini etc because they won long ago. Slot won the title last season and it could be Arteta this season.

    I think he lost his head while coaching us. Before Madrid, he was already doing crazy things, but his players followed his lead. The hatred toward his style was external. However, in Madrid, he had issues with many players (I recalled Arbeloa was the exceptional). We thought at the time that it was Portuguese-vs-Spaniard in the locker room, but he actually had issues with Ronaldo and Pepe. When he returned to Chelsea, I thought his ex-players would have tolerant him, but the honeymoon lasted a season before he had all kinds of issues with some of the same players he used to lead. After Chelsea, he was just bounding around the world.

    I think he's absolutely spot on.

    Big clubs used to hire great coaches, that had somewhat of an established idea and a body of work that justified it.

    Nowadays clubs hire straight from the second division based on somebody doing the math of how this model looks upscaled to this projection, but I feel like we forget that a great sandwich can carry a food truck business but not a restaurant chain.

    This is a world clubs created by being too eager to hire talent away from the market so the refinement and development is missing.

    People put a huge amount of focus on that Luis Enrique interaction with Mbappé, but the man has been absolutely losing his mind in the press box for a couple of weeks now. There was also a bit of criticism for the way he treated Donnaruma and is now unhappy with his replacement.

    What a character. Same as he was as a player, hot headed, emotional, always on edge. Feels like something silly is about to happen at any moment.

    I just find it funny that he was anointed as some sort of football oracle and Mbappe branded as a lazy star that people forgot to check Luchos own track record.

    The video was part of an entire documentary. It's like cutting out Kimmich telling Flick at a team meeting that his system only looks good on the monitor but stinks when the players execute it, and claim that Kimmich owns Flick.

    In hindsight those documentaries are stupid and pointless.

    Ever heard of Chic fil A.

    Unfortunately Mou’s tactical menu is about as diverse as a restaurant that only offers you a chicken sandwich with pickles and nothing else.

    AND that is the reason no self respecting “big club” wants to “let him cook.”

    All of these things can be true at the same time.

    Luis Enrique can be a phenomenal manager, a better manager than he was a player because he was an douche as a player, AND he can also be 100% correct in his calculations that PSG would be better off without Mbappe precisely because it was like playing a man down for 90 minutes every game when (the responsibility for scoring goals and defending should be shared and spread out among the players on the field).



    The move looks even more brilliant in light of the fact that where Mbappe landed, a CL and La Liga double winning Real Madrid team, he caused a near total collapse with the club failing to win any trophies and cycling through 3 managers in less than a year (the way things played out only confirmed all of this as being true that Mbappe was taking more than he was contributing to his teams and it was enought to hold entire teams back from winning).

    I mean, if somebody that kicks kittens would say he doesn't like Mbappe you'd most likely find something charming in that activity.
