The Rayo game left a bitter taste in Xavi's mouth while also helping us learn some valuable lessons. As ever, great emphasis will be on the wide areas. But who should start & wher...
The best thing about the Raphinha signing is that Dembele is no longer on vacation. The minute he doesn't perform, Raphinha will bury him on that bench so deep he'll get a proper...
🚨 Huge announcement 🚨 It's Lionel Messi's birthday & what better time to announce I wrote a book on the tactical evolution of his profile at FC Barcelona. From the early academy...
In every game Barcelona played without Busquets, we had zero control. And for years, we've been looking for a player or a system to replace him. It couldn't be done. Now he's rep...
You're at a club and get to decide on the transfers. There are two players to choose from. Player A) Better player overall, much more expensive, 25y/o but wrong profile, would ne...

There's been a lot of talk on Barcelona's targets so I'll glance over Neves as their pivot & briefly address the Alonso link. Neither player would be anywhere near my choice but t...
I'd love to see Collado get at least a preseason at Barça. He would slot in the creator role they would lose with Dembele's departure. Alex is a highly technical, creative no.10...

If Barça don't renew Dembele, signing Raphinha becomes a must. His profile completes the attack & adds the necessary creative spark they'll need with Ansu Fati on the left & a Lew...
Lewandowski, Koulibaly, Raphinha, Kessie, Christensen, Grimaldo & Azpilicueta. If Barça sort the finances by securing the sales & deals they need, this could be their summer windo...
Koulibaly instantly improves our defence but wonder how Xavi rotates him, Piqué, Araujo, Eric & Christensen. If Piqué retains his top form, he's fundamental, Araujo also non-negot...
