Ramsey can go

 

[dvsonm]

Meh. Might as well leave it alone

Jews and Turks not welcome

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Barca has yet to the white/red cross as kit or an element, I would guess that would be coming soon

 

[Coupé It]

NONONONONONONONONONO

NO

WTMF are they doing? Looks elementary, childish, and cartoonish....

Also the blaugrana is now just blue and red... smh

not a fan but at least it's not a brand new crest like Juve's

Ramsey has been a great servant to the club, unfortunately injuries never let him realize his best form. He's been instrumental in bringing back silverware to the club during a dark drought with his clutch goals in the FA cup finals but if no deal can be made, i think it'll end up working out well for both parties. Would love for him to stick around but i dont think he's worth the 250k a week that he is asking.

If he does move on, i think this will solve the conundrum that was ramsey's position in the line up that causes ozil to play on the wing. Emery said he wanted to center the team around ramsey but its caused more disruption with the balance of the squad than bringing the best out of the rest of the players; it seems ramsey and ozil always get in eachothers way. Ramsey loves to make those late runs into the box but he cant because he's so high up, so he hasnt provided much; and then we have ozil on the wing always tucking in taking away width and support for the Monreal. Ozil has to be in the hole to get the best out of him behind auba and Laca to link up play and serve assists so if ramsey does go, emery can put out a more balanced squad and have Auba-Laca-mkhi with ozil right behind. We'll also be able to fit in/buy a proper winger that we certainly need and further solidify emery's system. what do you think of this news mastamind89 ?

wonderfully put sir.
I like Ramsey too but he's not creative enough to play in the center and playing Ozil on the right pretty much nullifies the right side.

side note: Listening to DT and Troopz on AF TV is entertaining, but Graham is a true student of the sport. I love listening to his take on the game.

*St. George's Cross

Inter Milan has done it in past kits, it's in their 3rd strip this year

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Think they removed the outlines and clutter for embroidery reasons

[sfc415]

Wouldn't have even noticed the crest change if no on listed the design changes I was like "what am I missing here ???" even though I own several Barca kits. Honestly don't see the point

 

[PRIME]

I like the new Barca redesign.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

I like it to. They made it cleaner...

With regards to the St George’s cross, I doubt they’ll do anything given the pervert religion it’s associated with. The thought of all them hundreds of priests preying on the thousands of little boys and that church hasn’t done anything about it is absolutely disgusting.

From a pretty solid source,not exactly the hardest choice for the club to make tbh...

What he has done for the club, I truly appreciate despite him not truly reaching his potential. But I agree with you. I always found it interesting that Emery wanted to build the team around him. I've never been a fan about playing Rambo as a #10 at Arsenal. (For Wales, that's a different story). Especially when we have Ozil, even if we didn't have him. I would feel the same way. I always wanted to see more of a 4-3-3, v-formation/anchor, where Ramsey is one of the two CMs. His discipline is troublesome. With the front 3 that we have for our attack, the constant runs from deep are more damaging than helpful. I think this could be a win-win situation. And as you said, this could be a great chance to get a winger

Both he and mourinho should go. Hope Barca drops 200 on mans..

haha we aint got it.
pogba not coming to barca...he's overpriced and too expensive.
as much as i like pogba i would rather have de jong tbh

the problem with getting rid of mou it sets a precedent where the star player has more say so than the manager. even though it's what should happen cause mou is trash it leaves united in a tough position cause no other manager would want to walk in to a situation like that. it shouldn't work like that but mou is an exception

and i disagree that some are saying pogba isn't replaceable. everyone is replaceable. and the amount of money you could get from pogba could effectively get you 2 class midfielders that would make the midfield better than it is now.

i think beans might be on the right track and just get rid of them both

So far Lopetegui hasn’t passed a single big test. It seems harsh but if he catches another L to Atleti on Saturday he’ll find himself in the hot seat.

L to Atleti in the super cup
Draw at Bilbao
And a tactical failure during the massive L to Sevilla

Dudes gotta show something in one of these matches or he’ll seem hopeless for the CL

Barcelona could have cleaned it up instead of changing it. (Sfc can’t see the difference I can tell the difference automatically)

It’s suppose to be a 24k golf badge holding the jordi cross and senyera on the top with Blau Grana stripes on the bottom (not Blau and rojo, not blue and red). You guys can’t tell the difference between grana and red, wtmf?

This logo is not a “cleanup”, it’s a change. And I don’t like it, neither of you should like it. The logo looks good if it was just some random badge made, not replacmengt for an already iconic badge.

You guys suck (thankfully the Barça board haven’t approved it yet, still up for vote)

PS - why are Barça and Chelsea changing their great badges, while Manchester United are out here with their McDonald’s *** colored, layered in gradient, tired, old AF logo? (What’s going on here in the world? I want answers)

I hated Lopetegui at Porto, like I really did not like that man. Idk if that was ever said, but it needed to be on the record. Did the same thing at Porto, big matches, team doesn’t show. He can never sit down and shut the **** up either.

 

[jape]

If there was ever a year for atleti, this is it.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Umtiti is most likely out for several months with ligament damage in his left knee.

 

[130122]

Yea this has to be our year, Isco and Marcelo are out of the derby this weekend, Umtiti is hurt. We need to seize the moment, keep Thomas on the field same with Rodri. Outside of those two and Lemar no one has impressed me this season. Arias deserves to be starting over Juanfran, the same can for Lucas and Filipe. Griezmann has set up some beautiful plays but that’s been once in a blue moon which is very disappointing. Costa caught a knock post supercup and hasn’t really been the same. I’m really surprised with Gelson and Kalinic, they performed perfect for when they both came on. Those two are basically our b-tec griez and costa.

edit: idgaf where they put thomas just keep that man on the field until koke and saul get their **** together
