Raphina and kounde were on the verge of signing to Chelsea but Barca just entered and hijacked 2 deals

[@curtischarles5299]

Barca only hijacked the kounde deal. Not raphinha . Deco was his agent and they were talking about signing him long before chelsea tried to sign him. So its chelsea who was trying to hijack the raphinha deal .

[@gslang3489]

150m Haaland buyout("hidden" costs as well im sure). It's crazy how similar Dembele and Neymar are. Both claimed "they didn't know where the PSG rumors came from" and joined PSG a week later.. Let's hope Dembele's career at PSG goes the same way as Neymar's.

[@sigurdnf9121]

I think you're underestimating Barcelona and Real Madrid's pull. It's not just as strong as the top PL clubs, it's much stronger. It shows these days when Barcelona without as much money can get top players even though they won't earn as much. I think the rivalry, culture, history, playing style, the city and the stadium is unrivaled by other top European clubs.

[@whogivesafck9868]

17:06 close, but 5 days later Ferran is our FIRST free goal kick after 2 years :(

[@davidblandin8139]

Gavi is utilized better when he plays for Spain

[@adshatku4800]

of course , thats why I am gonna say again Xavi is not a coach for Barca , and thats a fact

[@martinobeng]

Good job❤

[@michaelpaulmwasa733]

one morre question: what logo would you prefer on the shirt? last year we tributed to rosalia. i´d like if we this year tributed to 50 years of hiphop. why not a pair of Adidas? imagin entering the stadium to Run DMCS´s ft aerosmiths´s walk this way and a smach-up with " My Adidas"

[@TheLexy010]

A great coach like Pep will always get the best team performance from changing team players…Awesome analytics though

[@celina9392]

We were grinding our teeth all season long with busquet so saying it’s just the lack of busquet it’s not true

[@ohyehkah]

I think he was talking in the context of going forward and transition play. But defensively u r right, busquet was quite frustrating especially due to his slow recovery.

[@bijanbahmani3794]

These Q and A videos been so good.

[@MrSoFly]

In your opinion what is Barca's best line playi a world or alien 11? No if this or that, just the11.

[@christophercuellar3737]

First Comment🎉

[@bacillusanthracis69]

If we had 100M, Wirtz might be possible.

[@carmellavries421]

No

[@aizazg7785]

we don't need his profile

[@bacillusanthracis69]

And why is that? How long Gundogan is gonna play? Pedri is injury-prone. Gavi is not creative enough. I'm not saying he should be the priority but his profile fits Barca. And the manager himself looking for another interior attacking mid. I would rather spend that money on someone like Wirtz than 31 year B. Silva @@aizazg7785

[@zeemeister1]

I would spend that 100m to fix our finances and buy nobody 😂. Try to sign the 2 Joaos should be a priority.

[@MeitechMicro-Credit-jl1kh]

I haven't watched the video yet But if Xavi keep playing that pointless tactics, we gonna get beat by Antwerp

[@Kingayyub]

What pointless tactic? It worked all of last season, let the team adapt again

[@Joeeye123]

Yes let Xavi keep... winning? Gotta love these armchair critics who've never coached or managed a team in their life and feel they have the intelligence to criticise a winning manager based on his formations. If he were losing games I'd probably understand the reactions, but people always think they know better.

[@this4059]

@@Joeeye123That would have been the case if Europe didn’t happen ( regardless of the injuries) until that reputation is changed and players become highly effective doubts and critics are warranted he is not yet Pep

[@Joeeye123]

@@this4059 Xavi out after winning isn't criticism, it's cynicism and its all over everywhere you look. People jumping onto this "formation issue" as if they can predict whether it'll change anything or not. Or this fun one, Ferran is doing excellent but Xavi won't start him, he's biased blah blah. Very likely the same people blasting Xavi last season for playing him when they were calling for Ferrans head or saying how Ferran should be sold before the pre season performances etc. Too many fickle fans who don't understand or know what they're looking at.

[@this4059]

@@Joeeye123 Fair enough its only been 4 games and as time passes the performances will put fan theories to the test for the cynics and optimist alike it’ll be interesting 😬

[@adshatku4800]

If Xavi continues to be stubborn and makes experiments in the style how Barca plays....Deco will be the one who will show Xavi the door,,,,
