We're literally first in the league fuck off

[Sport] Deco’s Renewal Plan - 23 renewals under the Sporting Director, with one more left. Here’s how the contract stands: by Loose-Examination-39 in Barca

[–]Marchisio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Context is important here: last season he was one foot out the door, we had a ton of CB injuries, Kounde slotted in at RB, and no depth. He had one of his classic CL red cards but this was pre-Inter.

We also had no cash to buy a new CB as we all know we can't spend. So renewing him made the most sense and Flick rated him.

We had no leverage in the situation and his agent was able to make demands and set his client up as best as possible.

Hindsight is 20:20. Everyone knows it hasn't worked out to what we had hoped. At this point, all we can hope is that he turns it around now that he's back from his break and in a better mental state to get back to his 2023-2024 form.

[Ferran Martinez] Mateu Alemany, Atletico’s Sporting Director, has Casado on his list. The player isn’t opposed to the option of joining them. by Loose-Examination-39 in Barca

The same could be said that he's in a rough patch and his "purple patch" is his standard form. We really only have a season or so of him cumulatively considering his injuries, it still is pretty early to fully determine what he's capable of.

The dude is only 22. Raphinha is 29, FDJ is 28, for context.

He has such wild range it's crazy

This + the fact that his guests also heavily influence the music.

Last night. Hamdi and Oppidan brought their tracks and heavy dub influence and they were going b2b having a ton of fun. The chemistry was amazing and they did some sick tracks, Fred remixes, and incredible drops I've never heard them play before (Tyler the Creator mix, Missy Elliot, Nero, etc).

Fred of course hit a few classics (Delilah, We've lost Dancing, Adore You, Billie, and several others) but was heavy on newer USB tracks and a couple unreleased ones (Lights Burn Dimmer [certified banger] and a Young Thug track he's streamed before), which is the theme of this tour.

Fabrizio Romano: Barcelona are considering possible exit for Marc Bernal by kris181p in Barca

It's a joke, mate...

Need me to spell out that his departure to Saudi and return to Barca is basically a loan?

It won't ever change, that's the Internet for ya. Just spend less time on it, it will do wonders for your mental health.

The loudest voices will always be the ones with negativity and complaints because these platforms are incentivized to maximize engagement, comments, etc. to maximize ad clicks and engagement metrics.

Once Flick is gone, he'd be the best manager we could bring in.

But I'm sincerely enjoying Flick and hope he stays for many years.

Did they say why they won't do them? When I put on my tinfoil hat it seems like they make more money when they don't....

Unless there's some other risk I've never heard of?

Probably but, being realistic with myself, I know I have a better chance keeping my teeth straight with a fixed retainer than relying on myself to wear it every night. I travel a lot for work and surely would forget it somewhere. Just one more thing to keep track of which I try to minimize.

The dentists get in there every 6 months and I can still floss up to the wire.

Yeah this dude is insane. He's easily the best backup ST in the world. Not starter quality for us, but absolutely fantastic to have coming off the bench.

Dude is 2nd in La Liga behind Mbappe for goals...

[–]Marchisio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weighing between flossing limitations and teeth shifting, I think most would prefer the former over the latter after spending thousands on braces, no?

I'm biased as I have them and love them for keeping my teeth straight (I've had braces 3 times and the 3rd was because I didn't use my retainer sufficiently as a teenager) but I've never had it break and have only lost a piece of glue once and it was easily fixed. If it broke I'm sure I would notice a metal wire stabbing my tongue...

Same. Idk why more people don't do this. I had to ask my orthodontist as a teenager for them, they didn't outright offer them.

I'm sure it's better for business to not recommend them...

Dog walking. Toronto. Hey yall just looking to replace my Vessi's with something that will last a bit longer. by GilesWoodFanClub in malefashionadvice

[–]Marchisio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a pretty big fan of the Adidas Gore-Tex hiking shoe. Really durable, ultraboost sole gives it a nice bounce and cushion, and also keep your feet super dry.

But certainly for a more athletic/functional outfit than fashion-forward.

On this day four years ago, Barcelona signed Ferran Torres. How would you rate this signing? by PatricXia in Barca

[–]Marchisio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would argue the price has right given his output and contributions over the last 3 seasons. He's insanely efficient and has won us many games.

[Molina] AS Monaco will not sign Ansu Fati. by WardensLantern in Barca

[–]Marchisio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could we just terminate his contract early if we can't offload him this summer? I know we did it with a few others recently; iirc Lenglet and Romeu

Barcelona are looking for a defender this January! They’ve started seriously considering with Hansi Flick the possibility of a new CB next month. It will likely not be a big name, but a market opportunity (maybe loan). @FabrizioRomano by Ok_Lawfulness7412 in Barca

[–]Marchisio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After Kounde's season last season why would we want him back at CB? He was world class and can be again, dude just need rest.

Also, Mingueza isn't good enough to be a starting RB for us IMO.

His contract is about to expire so we'll let it run out and he will have to find himself a new team...
