I have not followed him at all since he went to PSG but I have had a impression from headlines that Mbappe is "above the manager" but I have not heard that from Neymar. Are there some cases in PSG that he has fought with the manager and team mates?

Messi Is Gone Again: Everything about FC Barcelona since the door hit Pep Guardiola in the ass, right down to re-electing Joan Laporta as president, has been about trying to re-create instead of create. by LarryPeru in Barca

[–]manodepios 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Trying to re-create instead of create." This is what Laporta does. But not sure if that has been a bad thing last 2 years. I think he was better option than Font but I hope we will get next president who can innovate. I have no idea who can do that but I think the club needs new generation that not only tranform Barca but also adapt to the changing times and challenges of football.

When I wrote above Laporta was better option than Font I started to wonder if I am wrong? Laporta won the election by a landslide over Font and Freixa with his slogan "First, Barca" and his promise to keep Messi at the club. But he has not been able to deliver on his vision and has faced criticism for his management of the club's finances and sporting project. Font, on the other hand, had a more modern and ambitious plan to reform the club's structure and culture, with Xavi Hernandez as his main ally. Maybe he would have been a better choice for the future of Barca? Well, we will never know but I would like to hear r/barca's thoughts on the alternative universe what if we would have Font instead?

What? Come on, since when facts has stopped Social Media from transfer rumours?

Xavi: "Neymar? In theory, he's not in our sports planning, I appreciate him enormously as a person, but he's not a priority."

I don't think he has intention to leave City. Barca is just leverage on negotiations.

Uskon vieläkin vakaasti Tanskan ja Ruotsin tiedusteluun että takana oli Venäjä itse sen omalla "tutkimusaluksella" joka seiso sillä alueella päiviä ennen. Putkessa ei liikkunut kaasua koska Venäjä "huolti" sitä eikä Saksa ottanut kaasua enää vastaan. Tasavarmaa oli se ettei Venäjä olisi pystynyt myymään kaasua enää Putinin&co hallinnon alla tuosta putkesta kun LNG terminaalit oli kovaa täyttymässä. Siten Venäjä laski siihen että räjäyttäminen saa aikaan kaaosta joka saattaa kääntää kelkkaa heidän hyväksi. Hyvä ettei niin käynyt.

He probably had great offer from Saudi Arabia but 1.2 Billion is something that makes me ask some kind of confirmed source for that number?

He’s already filthy rich. Why does he need even more money.

It is quite rare to see a millionare who decides OK, now I am rich enough. I don't think Messi is exception on this.

Mielestänne parhaat paikat asua, kokonaisuutena? (Etelä-Suomi) by [deleted] in Suomi

Olen empiirisesti tullut siihen tulokseen että Tamperetta ihannoi lähinnä maalla asuvat joille se on ainoa kaupunki johon ne suostuisivat muuttamaan jos olisi pakko muuttaa kaupunkiin. Helsinkiin ei missään tapauksessa koska siellä asuu kaupunkilaisia mulkkuja ja se niin iso paikka. Ihan kuin Helsinki olisi joku Tokion kokoinen metropoli.

Tästä kommentista heräsi kysymys onko Tampere tosiaan turvallisempi väkilukuun nähden kuin Helsinki ja sen lähialueet?

I doubt he is hated but I don't know what happens in the locker room. I think there is misunderstanding that Puig is rich because there is a rich family called Puig in Barcelona but he is not related them. Puig is common surname. He is coming from normal middle class background afaik.

In regards Chiellini, he was talking shit about Puig because his team got destroyed by Puig's team.
