Barca Fans chanting Vitor Roque as a way of showing support

Idk why but i despise that bald bastard

...Torres

do you think roque would instruct his agent to do so?

and so if he does is it fair from xavi to not give him any minutes for that?

do you know when was oriol romeu subbed in?

I would take Sergi Roberto as a sub for Christensen over Romeu every day.

I think we’re gonna hear a lot about him if they are going to sell him. He indeed has a great instinct.

Xavi doesn't coach players, so he wants City players who are already ready-made and coached by Pep. He plays a lot of youngsters, granted, but how many of them developed and improved in his tenure? Pedri stagnated. Ferran was one of the best young attackers with Pep, but Xavi shattered his morale. Nico Gonzalez? Ansu? Balde? I could go on and on. The players are not improving. I have not missed one Barca game in 6 years and I watched a lot of football. So, I have watched these players produce mediocrity for a while. If Xavi were not Xavi Hernandez the greatest midfielder in our generation, he would have never gotten the job. Juve saw it with Pirlo, he was an amazing player, but couldn't replicate it as a manager. What Juve did was they jumped ship early on. We stuck with Xavi even with such a horrible season. I know context matters with injuries and whatnot, but what's the excuse that we're playing dire football? I look at Girona, having worse players than us in every single position and playing outstanding football that produces results. Then I look at Xavi's squad and wonder how nearly every player on the pitch is underperforming.

It's not really a contest between two grown professionals. It's just one whiny professional. Board can sign whoever they want, albeit ofcourse with some input from coaches and manager. It's not board's job to sign only those players that Xavi wants. Let's say Deco gets everyone that Xavi wants, and incompetent and devoid of any sense of criticism as he is, Xavi leaves, his ass was going to too. So then we are stuck with an entire brigade that a stubborn, unprofessional and incompetent manager wanted?

Let's face it. No other manager, even highly regarded like Klopp or Tuchel would get so many leeways as Xavi gets, just because he is club legend. And at this point it seems like he is just taking advantage of it to get his way.

P. S. - All this ofcourse if the reports in media are to believed. And, they don't seem as far fetched.

Only for the players Xavi don't like

Of course it is, that's why Sergio R(onaldinho regen)oberto is getting a contract renewal.

I mean, inside probably, but no showing it to any media or something.. Imagine if it was any of us on his shoes, 18y.o boy who was one of the top 3 strikes of Brazil, coming to a huge club, realizing a dream but being chopped off by a coach who lacks of intelligence / kindness.. I would be dead inside rn, not gonna lie..

I missed this, but you are an idiot. Yes, you know shit compared to Xavi, if you put someone to do something, you cannot put stones in his path. Alonso came for free and played good, stayed for free, and later came Cancelo. Roberto has been great this season, without him, we would be playing 15 year olds burning them too early. That's what people don't see, young people get burned quickly if not handled correctly. Yamal is different because he is clearly world class, different breed, although we thought the same about Fati. Silva is world class, we needed him this season too. His signing was preferred over Raphinha. We needed Silva because he can play in midfield and take responsibility with the ball, thing we missed this season. Eric making mistakes... And over Araujo? What games do you watch?
