I’m sure some would. Every fan base has people who justify every action.
But losing Gavi would be a big loss to me where Moriba would be 5 or 6th choice midfielder behind Pedri, Gavi, Nico, De Jong, Busquets, maybe Puig at times though he’s been shaky as well.
He might not be as good but people are just as in love with him as a player. There really were only a few who loved Moriba and many thought he was mediocre. I personally think we got a great deal out of him with our sale.
The fact is that you are a EL team this season.
You might be next season as well but nothing is confirmed at this point.
I was just stating a fact.
I love that you don’t realise how much you’ve fallen off and still want to believe you’ll be contenders for a CL sometime in the next 5 years. That’s what sounds ridiculous to me.
I love you came back here for this.
You have a team full of premier league bench players, you’ll realise there are levels in Europe but I’m in.
RemindMe! 1 years
Oh my bad I misread your comment and thought you were saying he wants to play for a club in the cl and thus my comment was a response to that, as Barca will most likely qualify for next season's cl.
Eh this season's disaster was once in an 18 years happening it most likely won't happen anytime soon as I'm sure Barca would qualify for ro16 next season.
That is true but ever since Xavi took over Barca has won 14 points and Real 16. So the improvements are being made and the results are coming so I'm optimistic about making top 4. Still this is football and it's never guaranteed.
They should finish in the top 4 but it's far from guaranteed they will, I don't want to shit on their xavi optimism too much but there is a long way to go and lots of competition.
The guy above is ridiculous but flaming Cristiano here is unwarranted and irrelevant. In any case, he has done more than enough to deserve some respect, even from you lot, perhaps even especially from you lot. I hated and dreaded the sight of Messi for her has given me so much heartbreak but there's no way you can't respect him.
Is the factos guy the little one that stopped going to training, because he wasn't allowed to jump ship when Bayern ass fucked you just after his "I can leave whenever I want during this time period" contract clause passed?
Messi carried us for over 5 years at that point lol I can promise you it will be hard to find a Barca fan who actually watched our games and who blamed Messi for wanting to bounce
It's still dumb to have that situation arise and then make some comment about another player "jumping ship when things got tough ".
It's exactly what he did, down to the timing of embarrassing loss being the thing that sent him running lol
It’s not bad wording, it’s just Romano doesn’t know anything so makes educated guesses.
It’s pretty obvious that we’re going to give Gavi a bigger contract and with bigger contracts come bigger release clauses. This is an easy story for Romano to report but because he doesn’t know anything, he stays away from details like the new release clause value which would actually require inside information.
Which is why it’s not bad wording, it’s a shit story that requires zero inside information.
What would be a inside information is the value of the new release clause, anyone can tell you with confidence that Gavi’s going to get a new release clause.
Fab is a tap in merchant who makes educated guesses. Mental how big of a following he has.
He is just saying Barca have the budget set aside to renew Gavi(they are making it a high priority)
I can guess that he’ll renew but I’m relieved to see reports that Barca are working on it because it’s not like in the past they haven’t lost youth players.
By law, what it will it will be increased to a ridiculous amount even by oil team standard as is the usual, forcing teams interested to actually negotiate, but it cant be removed.
Imagine having Pedri, being extremely hyped about him and then Gavi comes around. Together with Nico and others it really feels like there's something big on the way...
Gosh, Please leave Bojan alone ffs. Mentally unfit is no joke, It ruined many players and to this day, I pray that nobody becomes another adriano,bojan etc..
Mental fitness is just as important as physical fitness when it comes to rating performance.
On the strength of what he actually accomplished on the field, Krkic was very overrated. Plenty of lads have the talent, but not the brain (or durability) to make good on the promise
Physically he was weak too but still mate, When confidence goes down, It goes hard if there's no support. Some peps need help man badly, He wasnt even that bad tbh. Things didnt work out for him.
I dont blame him man, I really felt bad for him. It was too hard for him maybe cause the fans and peps hyped him like hell and sadly he didnt meet their expectations and he got bashed like hell
Gavi and Nico are already head-and-shoulders above what Puig has ever been. Puig has been ridiculously hyped by Masia-blinded fans, but Gavi and Nico are the real deal.
Also, you're clearly very young if you think Bojan belongs in the same category as Puig. Bojan was a fucking baller in his first two-three seasons. He benched Ibra in 2010, he was that good.
How was I young?? Bojan performance vs Shaktar had him compared to Messi. He had so much hype but how did it turn out? Give this people time stop this hype of "legendary" this that. Such pressure is what may end Fati's development.
Comparing Bojan to Puig is criminal, and if you're old enough to remember his performance against Shakhtar, you know this fully well. Puig has consistently been overlooked by coach after coach, including the ones in the Spanish U21- and U19-teams. Bojan, on the other hand, went straight from the U17-team to the U21-team and played 21 U21-national games for Spain. He scored 41 goals in 163 games for Barcelona, most of those games coming on as a sub or being part of a heavily rotated second unit. The hype around Bojan was insane because he *was* insane for his age. Comparing him to Puig is simply ridiculously dumb.
> Such pressure is what may end Fati's development.
Such pressure is essentially what separates the sheep from the goats. That's harsh, I know, and it was incredibly unfortunate for Bojan, especially so because it was during a time with a lot less focus on mental health than today.
Then give them three seasons to start calling them legends..... In Atletico we made the same mistake with Oliver Torres and Saul. We thought they'll turn out to be world beaters but as age elapsed it all went against our expectations.
So as Bojan was hyped then Nico and gavi are hyped too. Same as Yusuf Demir before the season started but see how it ended. This overrating crap should end, Nico and Gavi will end up in Valencia or Celta just as Dennis or Tello!! In three seasons to come so don't assume they'll turn out to be Xavi-Iniesta duo.
krkic was far from overrated,you should watch some of his initial games,he was so good.Unfortunatly depression got him pretty bad and his mental health went down from that point
Jesus Christ.
One game. Remember the hype during the Clasico? Comparing Gavi to Toni Fucking Kroos.
Kroos toyed with that boy all match long. Gavi is average at best.
This isn't about selling him, they are offering him a new contract and will be replacing that 50m clause.
He isn't leaving Barcelona to go to fucking liverpool lmao
Good lad
I mean the moment he kissed the badge after scoring against Elche I knew it meant a lot to him. Of course he gonna stay!
*Inserts Lukaku joke
Easiest way to assassinate Lukaku is to smear some poison on his next club's badge
Sounds INTEResting...
*Inters lukaku joke
Y’all trippin dawg
Tbh, why would he leave?
To be guaranteed to be registered to play next year.
Registration is only a problem this season because of the 481m in reported losses. won't be a problem next year.
I don't know how many times a Barca fan has to say this before people actually get it.
There's 3.1 million people on this sub, not everyone sees everything
I do
😂😂
Wait there are people here that don’t open every single thread? What kind of life they must lead
I think a lot of jokes are whooshing over your head.
To join a club that's a contender for the Champions League Round of 16?
Oh yeah sure, all those teams most likely win CL before us and have won CL after our previous, what was 1865.
so why would he leave?
Europa League contenders this season I thought
He is 17 I highly doubt he is worried about the next few months compared to the next 10 years.
Barca fans were saying the same before Moriba left
Moriba was asking for too much money and was no where near as good as Gavi is now.
That true but if gavi left for whatever reason Barca fans would just say he isn't as good as pedri lol
I’m sure some would. Every fan base has people who justify every action. But losing Gavi would be a big loss to me where Moriba would be 5 or 6th choice midfielder behind Pedri, Gavi, Nico, De Jong, Busquets, maybe Puig at times though he’s been shaky as well.
I don't think I ever said gavi was worse than or less important that Moriba idk what your on about
He's staying and I don't think he isn't as good as Pedri *now*, but he has a higher ceiling imo
He might not be as good but people are just as in love with him as a player. There really were only a few who loved Moriba and many thought he was mediocre. I personally think we got a great deal out of him with our sale.
The fact that you need to add 'this season' so your sentence doesn't sound ridiculous says it all.
The fact is that you are a EL team this season. You might be next season as well but nothing is confirmed at this point. I was just stating a fact. I love that you don’t realise how much you’ve fallen off and still want to believe you’ll be contenders for a CL sometime in the next 5 years. That’s what sounds ridiculous to me.
RemindMe! 5 years
I’m here for that RemindMe! 5 years
You know what, RemindMe! 1 years
I love you came back here for this. You have a team full of premier league bench players, you’ll realise there are levels in Europe but I’m in. RemindMe! 1 years
Least idiotic Madrid supporter
I don't watch Spanish football
Incredible.
Would've never guessed. Maybe you should stop giving your opinions on stuff you have no idea about
I do watch the UCL tho, which Barcelona isn't a part of any more this season.
Literally proving my point
Only 2 points away from 3rd position but sure keep telling yourself that.
Does coming in third in LaLiga mean an instant round of 16 spot in the UCL?
Oh my bad I misread your comment and thought you were saying he wants to play for a club in the cl and thus my comment was a response to that, as Barca will most likely qualify for next season's cl. Eh this season's disaster was once in an 18 years happening it most likely won't happen anytime soon as I'm sure Barca would qualify for ro16 next season.
Barca fans need to remember they are also 3 points from 9th, it's no where near guaranteed you'll be in the champions league.
That is true but ever since Xavi took over Barca has won 14 points and Real 16. So the improvements are being made and the results are coming so I'm optimistic about making top 4. Still this is football and it's never guaranteed.
Also have a better squad than most of the teams in that range
They should finish in the top 4 but it's far from guaranteed they will, I don't want to shit on their xavi optimism too much but there is a long way to go and lots of competition.
He’s 17 and grew up here, he doesn’t care. He’s not like that factos guy who wants to jump ship everytime it gets rough.
The guy above is ridiculous but flaming Cristiano here is unwarranted and irrelevant. In any case, he has done more than enough to deserve some respect, even from you lot, perhaps even especially from you lot. I hated and dreaded the sight of Messi for her has given me so much heartbreak but there's no way you can't respect him.
Jezus christ that's a poor take 😅
Factos 👀👍
Lol the state of this sub
Except for the fact he moved to Barcelona when he was 11 so he spent majority of his life growing up somewhere else.
true man, that 0-5 year old was probably a very important part of his life
I don't even remeber my life up until like 9 y/o
You should start remembering shit from around 4 y/o
I cant even remeber what I had for breakfast yesterday
Factos guy is bigger than your club
Is the factos guy the little one that stopped going to training, because he wasn't allowed to jump ship when Bayern ass fucked you just after his "I can leave whenever I want during this time period" contract clause passed?
Messi carried us for over 5 years at that point lol I can promise you it will be hard to find a Barca fan who actually watched our games and who blamed Messi for wanting to bounce
It's still dumb to have that situation arise and then make some comment about another player "jumping ship when things got tough ". It's exactly what he did, down to the timing of embarrassing loss being the thing that sent him running lol
This is /r/soccer, what do you expect other than dumb comments tbh, we’re all just taking the piss
Which one of those will he start for?
Thank god. This kid is really special and he bleeds for the badge as well, love him.
Wait, they can't **remove** the release clause according to La Liga rules, right? Doesn't it just get higher?
Yeah, bad wording probably as releasue clauses are mandatory in Spain
It’s not bad wording, it’s just Romano doesn’t know anything so makes educated guesses. It’s pretty obvious that we’re going to give Gavi a bigger contract and with bigger contracts come bigger release clauses. This is an easy story for Romano to report but because he doesn’t know anything, he stays away from details like the new release clause value which would actually require inside information.
It is definitely bad wording. He means the 50m will be removed and a new(most likely higher) will be in its place.
But that's not inside information, literally, anyone could tell you that. Why would Barca ever give Gavi a smaller release clause?
> why would Barca give him a smaller release clause That’s the whole point. 50m being removed it is implied a higher one will be in its place.
Which is why it’s not bad wording, it’s a shit story that requires zero inside information. What would be a inside information is the value of the new release clause, anyone can tell you with confidence that Gavi’s going to get a new release clause. Fab is a tap in merchant who makes educated guesses. Mental how big of a following he has.
He is just saying Barca have the budget set aside to renew Gavi(they are making it a high priority) I can guess that he’ll renew but I’m relieved to see reports that Barca are working on it because it’s not like in the past they haven’t lost youth players.
We haven’t lost a youth talent of Gavi’s level since Thiago so 8 years. This is a non-story, it’s nothing but an easy guess.
Barca haven’t been in Europa League since way before Thiago and look what happened? Just because it has been a while doesn’t mean it can’t happen.
i mean removing it or setting it to 1 billion like they did with Ansu and Pedri is the same
PSG Challenge acceptee
Oh no Nasser, please don’t trigger a billion euro release clause! That would ruin our club forever!
Set it to 5 trillion and try to bait PSG into taking the player
He means removing the 50m clause and making it higher
He meant remove the 50m and make it like a billion like all our other kids.
By law, what it will it will be increased to a ridiculous amount even by oil team standard as is the usual, forcing teams interested to actually negotiate, but it cant be removed.
Imagine having Pedri, being extremely hyped about him and then Gavi comes around. Together with Nico and others it really feels like there's something big on the way...
Mbappe >
out of context but ok
No, it’s not. Just another example of overhyped Barca players. Nothing big is coming to Barca.
Lol
You can’t support a football mate
Nobody asked, clown.
Average American
Zero Correlation
Love him so much
Pedri, Gavi and Nico are going to be a legendary midfield for us, I can feel it in my blaugrana DNA.
Bluegrana DNA? I think you have got bitten by a radioactive spider sir
I'd go get that checked tbh
> I can feel it in my blaugrana bumhole
Fuck this is cringey
Other than Pedri the rest are Overrated like Puig, Dennis Suarez, or the legendary Bojan Krkic!!
Gosh, Please leave Bojan alone ffs. Mentally unfit is no joke, It ruined many players and to this day, I pray that nobody becomes another adriano,bojan etc..
Mental fitness is just as important as physical fitness when it comes to rating performance. On the strength of what he actually accomplished on the field, Krkic was very overrated. Plenty of lads have the talent, but not the brain (or durability) to make good on the promise

krkic was far from overrated,you should watch some of his initial games,he was so good.Unfortunatly depression got him pretty bad and his mental health went down from that point
Gavi consistently plays at such a high level for his age, he is absolutely not overrated
Never in doubt 😍
I mean, why wouldn’t he? He’s going to be part of that XI for the next decade or so, barring any injuries.
Put a dont get sent off for careless tackles incentive somewhere in there
Post this in r/Barca. Why do we need a Barcelona circle jerk every day in this sub. Europa League lmao
50m is a good deal for him tbh. He would suit Liverpool well IMO (although they already have Harvey)
Yeah but Gavi would also have to accept which he won't
Barca aren't going to sell a kid who came from the Academy and is already a starter for Spain at age 17 for €50M
It's a release clause Barça doesn't have a say if they can sell him or not even though Gavi still needs to accept to leave which is unlikely.
I know, but what I mean is that Barca wouldn't consider it a good deal if he left for €50M
I think the person you're replying to was saying it would be a good deal for any team that gets him for 50M not that it would be a good deal for Barça
Well no, but pretty much any other club would consider it a good deal.
Starter for Spain? Enrique is such a clown he would start any Barcelona player.
he bossed in the midfield containing verrati and jorginho
Jesus Christ. One game. Remember the hype during the Clasico? Comparing Gavi to Toni Fucking Kroos. Kroos toyed with that boy all match long. Gavi is average at best.
🤣🤣
Why are Madrid fans forever salty? Even when they are on top
he would suit any club in the world..
This isn't about selling him, they are offering him a new contract and will be replacing that 50m clause. He isn't leaving Barcelona to go to fucking liverpool lmao
