A recommendation of King Arthur, Good days ahead.

Grizemann's addition is welcomed, Together with messi, Suarez,Coutinho and Dembele that will be a massive massive squad depth.


But Cules Our midfield is the area that requires a lot of additions, Iniesta is going and up till now we haven't replaced Xavi. Who do you think we should buy



I will prefer we bring back Thiago or we sign Ericksen( even though that will be extremely difficult) ,then let Coutinho inherits Iniesta's LMC together with the acquisition of Authur and the influence of Sergio Busquet from the back our Midfield will be more than Ok. We don't really have much problem at the back other than to offload Digne And sign a quality back up for the LB position or promote Miranda from Barca b.

Nice development, I hope the law is implemented to the letter. Because here in Nigeria,to make law is easy but to implement it na wahala

Life inside La Masia with Mikel Arteta, Pepe Reina and the sobering story of a player called Arnau Riera - who was once Lionel Messi's captain and now - via Sunderland, Roy Keane and gruesome injuries - works on reception at a Mallorca hotel.

I can't just wait to hear the amount Atletico Madrid would slap on Griezmann head.
I hope Suarez gets his Shiit together next season, why the hell would Benzema outscore Suarez UCL goals in just one match? This is just unforgivable.

Lol, That's absurd

He do switch off at the commencement of the season then regains form midway, then he switched off again at the end. It has been like that for like 2 years.It is high time we signed Grizemann,i think his buy out clause is around 100million€

I thought you knew football?

So what Ronaldo did on both nights was disaster class.

Na una be the real clowns. Since only dribbles and pre-assists is the only criteria of judging a good player I. Your views.

Ronaldo's performance was below par TBH. Going by his standard sha.

homesteady:
Martial has been very unstable at Manchester United for a while now, and he wants to leave. I don't know why I have not read any news linking him to Barcelona.

Among all top clubs in the world, we are the only club that doesn't utilise the wings. We have the 2nd most expensive winger in the world in our team, but our coach in his own wisdom has been benching him. Other clubs like Madrid and Bayern that even currently have a better midfield than we have also utilize the wings to devastating effect.
Let us get Martial, the guy is good. He would be a squad player like them Vasquez and Asensio.

I was about to say the same thing, but it seems the chase of Grizemann is blocking that path but i will like it if we can capture his signature. Imagine a Messi/dembele/martial forward line or Dembele/suarez/Martial forward line with Messi and Coutinho ing them from midfield. That would be mesmerizing, fingers crossed though.

ClintonNzedimma:

in all honesty, this is not a very brilliant Madrid but they somehow get the job done, I still feel Barça of 09-12 can beat this Madrid side, but we must not undermine their achievement, they have tried

They are trying and i respect them,they are currently the best side in the world but they dont have an outstanding style of play like the Guardiola side, Madrid rely more on counter attack and cross and nod method which i find not too spectacular. Guardiola was roundly the best club of their time, 3 straight la liga and 2 UCL in 3 years that's domination, but Madrid had to reserve their energy on one competition become they know that it is nearly an impossible task for them to dominate both the liga and Champions League at the same time bar last season even though that was the first time since like 40 years of their history that is absurd considering their rich history.

monerozi5590:


You guys didn't dominate Europe the way we are doing now.

8 successive Semi Finalists.

3 Champions League Trophies in 4 years.

4 Champions League Finals in 5 years.

not even pep Barca were this dominant.

lol iffa ear!!!


The highlight of your domination for me is playing 3 consecutive finals that is it. but How can we accept madrid is dominating when they have only won 2 of the last 10 la ligas and 2 of the last 10 copa that is not domination you are dominating the champions league yes but comparing yours with the Guardiola's team is absurd. UCL is not the only competition you partook in.

Yeah Right......

Fellow cules.


I think it is high time we started appreciating our domestic success in the midst of our UCL downfall, We need not to be enveloped with inferiority complex just bcus our rival from the capital are performing superbly well in the champions league, though this is a cumbersome achivement without any iota of doubt but lifting the 7th league title in the last ten years cannot be overided in anyway and in the actual sense of it, this is our third domestic double in the last four years and our rival will only envy this becuse they hardly do the double. so Cules cheer up FORCA BARCA.

Take away his goals, you’re left with his assists. Take away his assists, you’re left with his dribbles. Take away his dribbles, and you’re left with his audacious key es.. And most of the time, you get all of it together in the span of 90 minutes. One man, Lionel Messi. �

Trophies since Messi's debut: 32 � Barcelona 18 � Real Madrid [via @pedritonumeros ]

Congratulations to the best club in the world. FORCA BARCA

I think there will be too much responsibility on messi and beside I don't think he is vocal enough.

pique will do.

And how vocal is Iniesta


Messi has been the Argentinian captain for like five years now and its not about been vocal or not.



Messi will become the next captain and it is no brainer.I dont even doubt it for once. He has been deputising for Iniesta since like 3 years now.


Since they will likely choose four captains at a time.
The order will likely be Messi-Busquet-Pique-Ter stegen.

If you are following the trend you will notice that it has been more about their longevity in the team than their outspokenness.



Often times, Star players were given their team's captain's armband to boost their morale, Maradona's napoli comes to mind and in recent time Harry kane was named the assistant captain of Tottenham as well as the temporary captain for the english national team.

Nihilstjnr:
one thing I'll say is that Liverpool have a system that works very well for Salah.

Up front, they have 2 very dangerous and fast forwards that occupy defenders and allow Salah do his thing. If you man mark Salah, Firmino will see space. If you Mark 2 of of them, Mane can hurt you...though that one na short 1.

In midfield, instead of playing a deep playmaker, or box to box midfielders, Klopp retrained or bought players with a history of playing on the wing or at number 10. So they can collect the ball in deep positions and carry it upfield with pace.

Then he encourages his 2 full backs to attack as well. Robertson and TAA are practically wingers too.

it's very difficult to focus on just Salah...and so he always seems to have space.

Hazard in that team would probably score more goals. I say probably, because although his teammates are mostly wack and haven't helped him, he also hasn't really helped himself in the last couple of seasons.

He won't have scored that first goal that Salah did. He would have run around, turned back and ed to Kante.

Point is,Salah has a better eye for goals than hazard bro.

TalabiAudu:
I can see Messi slayers doing the lord's work both on here and Twitter..

I can see Messi followers worldwide getting emotional..

What could I have expected Lord? This is the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in my eyes!!!


Salah >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Messi
Salah shytes on Messi
Salah destroyed Roma singlehandedly, Messi was missing for 180 mins

Salah is what Messi thinks he is.

What is really your problem with messi, he dey cause you nightmare 4 ur sleep


You are not even a madrid fan to start with.

Lordemperoris100:
salah miles ahead of messi

This is one of the most idiotic posts i have ever read.


Messi at 23 already has 3 ballon d'ors

Salah at 23 was still Struggling for game time and seeking for loan moves.



It will take salah ten years of consistent performances like that of this season in order to be compared to messi's right leg.

@dipps

See the difference between the behaviours of the two players. The video is the reaction of CR and Leo to goals conceded on UCL nights

One is totally imionate while the other is fully intune with his team mates feelings

Dead on arrival...

can the egocentric Ororo withstand the frustration of being dumped out of the champions league qurters for the third consecutive time



Why can't he motivate his team at the last season's classico after messi's late goal if it was easy



Or was it not the same ronaldo that got angry when teammates like Arbeloa and Bale scores how much more of an opposition goal ??


Messi's reaction was an accumulation of about 3 years frustration and not just a match and i'm sure ur Ororo will react much worse that that

Useless club
it seems the 5th spot is even up for grab for Arsenal.

I swear

Undisputed GOAT

Reminder

Barca till my last blood!!!

This byke byke of a girl runs too much during the toughest times. I hate that kind of attitude mehhhh

hinohsend:
If the French is league is referred to as PSG's league and Bundensliga is called Bayernliga, I wonder why LaLiga is not called Barca's league....


Barca have owned LaLiga this past ten years.

If we win the league this season, we would have won it seven times in the last ten years the same with juve and bayern,the only difference is that we dont have a huge run like the two of them as we do get some annoying disturbance from the mofos in madrid but after that we win it again as we are their nemesis.



we've won the same numbers of champion league in the same period as well as numerous copa trophies,Indeed we are dominating the Cele team from the capital.

And somebody said we should invite Marco mattarazi as a special guest in the Clasico match


It will be an huge jibe to their bald coach.

The stunt Madrid are trying to display depicts them as a shameless and classless club combined. Though it is an unwritten law in football to give the guard of honour to the awaiting champions nevertheless they would have showed a great spirit of sportmanship had they given us the Pasillo but no, they are 4kiiing shameless.



Anyways we won't die if they don't give us. infact, there is no better revenge than winning the treble come may. Using the Club world cup as an excuse is so flimsy that a day year old baby would counter easily. We didn't participate in the competition so we have no right to give them unlike the la liga in which they in turn are a participant.
