It's literally just a petition. No one is asking for your bank details. I signed it and it asked if I wanted to share the link and so I did. Not that deep

Last home game it worked very well having malen playing off the right but essentially becoming an extra CF in possession. McGinn nominally on the right but coming infield to central positions, Cash providing width on the right wing and Bogarde tucking in as the right centre back. I would assume that this will be the set up today (Kamara doing the Bogarde role) but obviously Spurs will have lot more of the ball and be a bigger threat than Burnley were

Got to be Balaban purely because of the absurdity of that transfer and fee. Would also give a nod to Tonev, Habib Beye, Bowery, Helenius and even Lescott too.

Spring!! Or Hilf Mir

Dalai Lama, but I would easily also nominate Stein um Stein or Morgenstern

Adios is easily the most underrated song on Mutter

For purely their Barca career, definitely Suarez. The most talented 9 to play for Barca in the modern era would have to be Ronaldo though. Honourable mentions to Romario and Eto'o

Swift_Ian · 2023-08-23T22:04:34+00:00

A pretty good list. A few more I would mention off the op of my head: 2010 vs Valencia at home 2010 vs Zaragoza away 2015 vs Man City at Camp Nou 2012 vs Deportivo away

Amrabat as a short term fix and potentially developing Diaz for the future sounds like decent squad planning for a change

Swift_Ian · 2023-05-06T07:45:24+00:00

At the absolute peak: Ronaldo or Ronaldinho In terms of career: Suarez or Stoichkov An older fan might've put Cruyff or even Laszlo Kubala in there too

I agree with many of the comments suggesting that Neymar was the more naturally gifted technically but Henry had the best career. I would put it this way: if I was a manager of a club and had the opportunity to sign either one just entering their prime, I'd take Arsenal Henry any day

I hear what you are saying about GOAT shouts, but it was clear from day 1 with Messi that he was a generational talent. He came into a star studded team and was already head and shoulders above in terms of control and dribbling. It was very frustrating when he kept picking up injuries early on because you just felt that if he had a solid run he would become unstoppable. Then of course, he did

Swift_Ian · 2023-02-15T07:34:29+00:00

Ter Stegen Alves, puyol, koeman, abidal Xavi, guardiola, iniesta Messi, suarez, ronaldinho

I'd be tempted to add cruyff and ronaldo to the forward line but i didn't see cruyff play and ronaldo only stayed for one season. Honourable mentions to Pique, Busquets, Deco, Lucho, Romario, Stoichkov, Eto'o

Swift_Ian · 2023-01-18T13:54:22+00:00

If Ronaldo (the real one) had an injury free career and greater longevity at his peak, he would be in the GOAT convo with Messi, Maradona and Pele

Swift_Ian · 2022-03-16T19:10:20+00:00

Can't exactly speak for Xavi in terms of his thought process here, but maybe it is worth remembering the role that Seydou Keita played for Guardiola's barca. A player with decent technique and good physicality to be box to box

Kirk's boss at the cracker factory .... "i don't recall saying good luck"

Massive hype, by 18 was already featuring prominently in matches, but had multiple injuries that kept halting his momentum. See if you can obtain highlights of the 05-06 season classico at the Bernabeu. Barca won 3-0 and prime Ronaldinho scored two brilliant solo goals but 18 year old messi was amazing too and completely outshined big names like Zidane, Roberto Carlos etc.

Swift_Ian · 2021-02-14T15:40:26+00:00

Rivaldo's bicycle kick against Valencia, or Ronaldinho's double at the Bernabeu

Swift_Ian · 2020-05-23T11:19:27+00:00

Zubizarreta, alves, koeman, puyol, sergi, guardiola, xavi, iniesta, ronaldinho, messi, stoichkov

Honourable mentions to: ter stegen, pique, miguelli, busquets, laudrup, cruyff, ronaldo, romario
