    they betrayed the whole team obviously including messi by bringing in trash in my club. The club's slogan is "mes que un club" which means "more than a club". Barca definitely hasn't stood up to that slogan in the past 3 years! This board has destroyed everything the club stands up to and what seperates from other clubs. Definitely one of the most criminal actions in history of football. Messi has a year left of contract ,If I were him I would blackmail the club, either the board goes or me!

    This is what our B team would look like. But Enrique completely misused and wasted them.

    Might be since you're a younger fan but believe me I've seen far worse Barcelona sides, I remember when you guys finished 6th place...On one hand FC Barcelona have become an imperious global club and are generating a shitload of revenue thanks to the current board.

    The real issue is that you simply can't replace once in a lifetime players like Xavi-Iniesta-Messi. That generation of La Masia was striking gold but it took a interesting chain of events to get to there, expecting the new crop of players to living up to those 08-11 standards is excessively difficult. What happened after the 2015 season when you guys won the treble? The same things that happen to every great team; complacency.

    At some point Madrid's current run will come to an end, football has cycles. Long-term changes like what Barca needs will take time, but treasure what that club has achieved during that time period.

    Haha my fault mate didn't mean to sound condescending, I've been watching football since 98 so I've seen a lot. Point is, don't expect things to be settled so quickly--I've watched Real be on top of the world to not being able to reach the Quarters for years and then becoming back to back European champions over nearly 20 years lol.

    the cycle thing is alright but what the current board is doing is unforgivable and they should be punished. They are making us a mediocre squad that will not be able to COMPETE for trophies add in a player that is THE greatest of all time and that DESERVES to be surrounded with world class players that could bring him one last cycle of trophies before his career ends. This is a disgrace, this is disgusting and unfair. The board should be banned not only from the club, but from the borders of Spain as a country.

    Real planned and they planned well , this all goes back from 2013 when they got rid of Mourinho and brought Ancelotti that got Zidane as his assistant manager, they scouted some great young players, built a squad and now they are eating fruits of their labours. While Barca haven't done s---,bought garbage players that aren't able to play for levante let alone Barca, overpaid their trash a----s,got rid of young talent from La Masia and tarnished the clubs image with questionable illegal signings. Get the f--- out of my club you pieces of trash.

    btw thank Mourinho for bringing in Modrić, he brought Luka while Perez wanted to bring David Silva lmao. Now I must admit Perez is doing a fantastic job. In 2004 he got rid of Makelele who was an engine of the team and we all know how that turned out but now you would think he would do that to a player like Luka for example but he didn't, I don't know did he personally start to understand some things about football and he learned from his mistakes or Zidane persuaded him not to do it. Either way they are doing a fantastic job. Well done, I never thought I would applaud a f---ing Real Madrid on planning and relying on youngsters.

    We did have La Quinta Del Buitre during the 80s, players from La Fabrica aren't a foreign idea to Real throughout our history. I give credit to Perez and to Zizou for giving this club the recent success but trust me I felt the same frustration as you do when he turned the club into literally a business--We sold Makelele and Hierro, sacked Del Bosque and hideously neglected our old youth facilities (he sold them for profit). Although at this point, anyone is an upgrade from the Rossell and Bartomeu days at Barca.

    Board is so r-----ed.
    They Kept Matthieu who is older and on larger wages, and Sold f---ing Bartra. Now we are f----- for defenders.

    They spent 40 mil on Paulinho and Didn't get Seri. Completely fine if Messi can drop back while we still have Neymar and Suarez, but Suarez is 30, and Neymar just left. So now we have no controlling CM's , meaning we'll have s--- transitioning to a front three missing Neymar and Suarez.

    So congrats, you've taken the greatest team in history, and f----- up so bad, that we have a vulnerable defense, an inefficient and tactically inept midfield, and f--- all in attack to support Messi.

    The bright side to this would be that Rakitic's poor form and Iniesta's decline means more time to the Roberto's and Samper's and Rafinha's and Alenya's in the team, but no, we sign f---ing 30 year old paulinho, so the young potential players are again being f----- for the short term, leaving us with mediocre answers for a very deep problem.

    It's times like these your loyalty to a club is really tested.

    I said it already if Messi leaves it's something I will never forgive them! LAPORTA COME BACK NOW!!! the board has to be kicked out! bring the banners, protest,players should protest it's now or never I don't want to stand this board and the president any longer, even if we win a treble (obvs not going to happen) I WANT THEM OUT WHATEVER HAPPENS!

    God-Bele might still be on the way out, apparently still hasn't shown up to BvB training. I've never seen a player dribble like him; two footed and completely unpredictable, he breaks lines like crazy and loves to isolate himself to get those 1v1s. Only thing missing is a bigger end product that he will inevitably get as he gains experience, his decision making is still a bit spotty.

    f---ing Neymar might have ruined transfers tho, now every player gonna be absurdly priced out. Perez didn't want to give Mbappe the 12M salary he's demanding (it'll f--- up our wage structure) and I'll be d---ed if PSG somehow gets him. I'm still scratching my head on how the h--- did Morata and Lukaku go for so d--- much?

    I was thinking more George Best without the crazy acceleration, this was a cool video tho. Wish there was more footage of the old days, I would have loved to see what La Maquina of River Plate must have been like

    mbappe is a small pretentious fa----. One great season and now he thinks he is the best in the world lmao . I heard about his ridiculous wages demands, I also heard some Real Madrid representative told him after hearing his demands "congratulations and good luck in PSG" lmao f--- that guy he thinks he can earn more than club legends like Luka,Ramos,Marcelo etc. :lmaooo:

    Seriously
    Barca STOPPED BIDDING!!
    This is the s--- we complain about. They are wasting time going after Coutinho because he is Brazilian and at the time more popular . They literally said, "Hey, give us 120 mil+30 add ons and you can have him". And they never responded.

    As for the Neymar thing, He was part of the reason for the death of our values, and he left our club when were in decline and attempting to rebound. When despite the board being s---, us Barca fans were really optimistic. And he simply f---s us out of nowhere they day after his loyalty bonus is due.

    I mean, maybe it's the bounce back from our years of success, where now everything in the world is f---ing us. Neymar f----- us, Barto f----- us, Liverpool is finally saying no, BVB are haggling us , and Madrid are rubbing s--- in our faces. It's really depressing man.

    We lose 5-1 over two legs, which is bad, but not bad enough, Pique, Iniesta and Suarez are injured . f---ing h---, i wouldn't be surprised if Messi pulls up with an injury against betis. I'd just f---ing give up on football tbh.

    Yeah we paid Neymar more than Busquets and Iniesta and look what happened. Two of them can f--- off to France tbh. PSG will just offload another player who doesn't deserve to be kicked out.
