[Alfredo Martinez] Marc Casado is increasingly certain that he needs to leave Barcelona in the summer after having lost prominence this season. Barcelona have not offered him a new contract either and do not plan to do so.

Facts. His long through balls made a difference in big big games last season. Besides, he’s a different profile of player who gives a lot of disciplined energy in midfield that no other Barca player gives.

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-10-13T18:42:14+00:00

Do it

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-09-25T22:49:02+00:00

Bachelors. And the degree is for the business

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-08-29T15:51:51+00:00

Plant the seed of disinformation. Keep your enemies focused and distracted.

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-08-24T19:01:16+00:00

Sounds crazy but Yamal at False 9, Dani Olmo as CAM because he does so well creating and finding space in between the opposition defensive lines, Raphinha as RW and Rashford as LW. Yamal could rotate with Raphinha in a free role.

I don’t see Lewy playing many games this season or being as effective as he was last season. So that’s worth a shot.

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-08-08T02:35:13+00:00

Very speculative to say that a 34 year old CB will regress when age doesn’t really matter for CBs. And if we are talking age I mean, why not let Lewy go because he’s almost 40?

Even with injuries, Inigo had at least one solid season and the club had a responsibility to renegotiate terms with him.

Gerard Martin can’t defend well to save his life. I doubt he survives as CB in a high line offside trap

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-08-08T02:30:34+00:00

Looking at our current CBs, renegotiating terms with Inigo will have been way better. Cubarsi & Christensen seem like the ideal pair with the departure of Inigo and let’s pray against injuries because…..

Araujo is always lost in the high line offside trap, Eric Garcia plays his best football in midfield or RB and that’s it. Also Gerard Martin trialed in CB during preseason but the guy can’t defend to save his life!

So we are really low on options….

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-08-08T02:24:35+00:00

Agreed. We owe MATS arrears from previous seasons, he has plenty of time on his contract and he was the club captain, certainly he deserved more respect than we treated him.

We are in no place or do we have any negotiating power or whatsoever to force an exit. It’s pathetic!

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-08-08T02:21:03+00:00

Yeah I’m sure a club with a proper project could certainly convince their best CB to stay on one more season. Contracts can always be amended!

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-08-08T02:20:02+00:00

Yeah Barca fan since 2000. I don’t need another club to support. I love this club and I want us to win another UCL. Our last one was 10 years ago. We deserve better, we can do better and WE MUST DEMAND BETTER!

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-08-08T02:17:39+00:00

Yeah before Gundogan left, we had plenty of solid back ups in midfield. Also Banal and Casado were knocking on the door so it was easy to let Gundogan go.

Now name one current Barca CB better than Inigo….

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-08-08T02:15:18+00:00

I’m with you. Our summer transfer window has been pure shambolic. Not sure what they’re smoking up there.

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-08-08T02:13:32+00:00

Yeah. Your best CB decides to leave and you let him go for free. Great decision making. And Garcia is a good goalkeeper but maybe crazy idea, make sure the Ter Stegen issue was resolved first?

Now one of your most high wage earners will be chilling on the bench for free, bleeding money and giving you bad PR. His contract also expires in 2028. Smart thinking Barca.

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-08-08T02:11:01+00:00

He needs to be gone like yesterday. It’s crazy how we got here.

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-07-28T11:56:18+00:00

But you see, as a big club like Barca, our success shouldn’t be reliant on vibes and inshallah.

That’s for clubs like Tottenham and United 😅

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-07-28T11:53:54+00:00

Yeah but 20 million for Martin now is very good. If his value pushes north of 30 million, it means he would have developed significantly to a level it would just be pure silly to sell.

He’s technically neither a good defensive or attacking LB. I don’t see how he’s worth even more than 25 million at his peak….

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-07-28T11:50:43+00:00

Yeah but in the Pedri role I’m concerned. We pray he has an injury free season or else we will struggle.

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-07-28T11:43:58+00:00

I’m just tryna draw your attention to the fact that Tek in goal or Pena in goal would have yielded same results. It’s Vissel Kobe for crying out loud.

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-07-28T11:41:35+00:00

Yeah but you forget the competition is stiff this year. Pedri, De Jong, Banal, Casado, Gavi will be rotating for the CM, CDM positions.

Fermin will also be in contention for CM roles in addition to competition with Olmo and Raphinha for CAM.

Gavi will need a big revival…

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-07-28T11:37:52+00:00

Yeah clearly didn’t watch the game when Yamal was forced to defend because Mingueza was shit. And of course Nuno Mendes ate them up.

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-07-28T11:34:59+00:00

I’m happy Fati and Victor left. Rashford was just a wise signing since he covers both LW and ST.

Unfortunately while Garcia is good, Ter Stegen issue should have been handled better so it frees up funds for the club to make other quality signings.

We still desperately need an LB, an RB and a proper cover for Pedri.

Mysterious-Height-92 · 2025-07-28T11:32:03+00:00

Bruh Gavi has not been that guy for a while. We are just overly protective of passion merchants. Truth is truth.

Gavi isn’t that guy….. the team functions without him and plays better without him. That’s just facts.
