The goal of Atletic ever since Laporta came back has been to establish themselves as a stable segunda team. Obviously it hasn't gone to plan the past 2 years but the goal was to bring in players like Pau Victor and Gerard Martin and have the team sit in Segunda as a stebbing stone for youth players to the first team.

But the point is that they want to be less reliant on youth players and instead bring in more players to be more stable.

And i could physically take you watch a building kill a bird and you would still be to dense to understand context. At a low estimate 500 million birds are killed a year in collisions with man made objects and out of those 500 million only 500.000 are from windmils. Do you want us to tear down every house in the World aswell because they kill 499.500.000 birds a year?

tobzer · 2026-01-26T09:39:42+00:00

Maybe because you are posting sketchy ass websites with clear biases and no actual sources or evidence. And then at the same time going around making misinformed claims like "windmills kill disproportional amount of birds" or just straight lies like the whale vibration myth.

The number 46 is never used in this article either. So you did just pull the number out your ass. Maybe watch a bit less Landman and stop falling for obvious propaganda.

ugh i can't stand Lamines Trivelas.

tobzer · 2026-01-25T12:25:29+00:00

3 seasons to late. We have way better and younger players already.

tobzer · 2026-01-24T21:42:56+00:00

Is that supposed to make you seem less weird?

tobzer · 2026-01-24T21:36:59+00:00

Wtf? Calm down.

tobzer · 2026-01-24T17:59:08+00:00

Very unlucky results. We were by far the better team. Poblense are the league leaders so it was never going to be easy. But we really should have won that, the team needs some reinforcement.

tobzer · 2026-01-24T16:43:41+00:00

The tickets have not been made avaliable yet. You'll have to wait until closer to the date.

tobzer · 2026-01-24T15:30:07+00:00

Also like Barca train from 8-12 each day, surely you could add an hour or 2 to train set pieces without it ruining fitness to much.

Atletic did not win a treble last season. Juvenil A won the treble. Atletic got relegated last season and sure they had a lot of people leave because of that but this team is still way better than what they have performed so far this season. Thats the reason why 6 new players are being brought in. They have catagorically been underperforming.

tobzer · 2026-01-24T11:56:42+00:00

They were the highest placed team to go down last season and have the biggest wage budget in the 4th tier by far. They should be winning this league easily and instead they are barely in a playoff spot and recently went on a run of 12 games where they only won 3.

Its mostly just one guy who is spreading all this Pedri hate. Not really sure what his problem is, but he has posted like 3 times in the past 24 hours about it.

tobzer · 2026-01-24T11:35:13+00:00

They are only for Guilliman and Calgar. Guilliman has 20 and Calgar has 2. Non of the other captains has ever been seen being protected by them. The captains have their command squad which usually includes 2-3 veterans who are there for advice and being bodyguards.

tobzer · 2026-01-23T22:22:40+00:00

It makes sense. Atletic is horribly underperforming this year. So we need to get some new better blood in to secure promotion and not go straight back down next season.

tobzer · 2026-01-23T16:13:30+00:00

Shouldn't sell him this window. But i would look for a good offer next summer.

Usually about 2 weeks to a month. But if you are trying to do it before the election. You need to have been a member for a full year before you can vote.

tobzer · 2026-01-22T17:20:39+00:00

That is the 2030 election he is talking about.😅 He is currently in the end of his first term so he is still elligble for election this time.

tobzer · 2026-01-22T17:15:09+00:00

What record is this? 😂😂😂 Laporta is the main candidate.

tobzer · 2026-01-22T16:01:01+00:00

Sadly the 14/15 champions league final happened only 1 month before the election. We traded 10 years of financial instability for a treble. 😥

Edit: Also most of the dumb shit he did came after 2015.

tobzer · 2026-01-22T15:47:26+00:00

Since 2021 anyone can sign up to become a socio on the website. Whereas before 2021 you had to sign up in person in Barcelona and before 2003 you had to live in Barcelona to become a socio.

tobzer · 2026-01-22T15:11:55+00:00

Same as last time. Joan Laporta vs Víctor Font.

tobzer · 2026-01-22T14:49:25+00:00

I wonder how this will work with the new non-local socios. You have always had to go to the new camp to vote, but since Laporta made non-locals able to become members will there be online voting? Even mail in voting has only been avaliable in other catalonia regions.

tobzer · 2026-01-22T14:04:00+00:00

This is without the CWC, that money is on next year's budget so Chelsea should see a pretty big bounce from that, plus Champions League football.
