Don't have one.
They would never. I’d love to see it though, somehow odly I think it could work if they bought in.
They are hostages of cruyff based football, who they elevated rightly or wrongly like he is a second coming of Christ. They need to move on to a more generic attacking mindset like real madrid. The fact that they can't even consider someone like conte as their manager will be their ultimate downfall.

They've outCruyffed Cruyff when Aragones introduced the tiki taka brand to Spain.

Even Cruyff would say that the proper move in 2018 Inter when need a goal is to sub in Ranocchia as a box striker and hoof the ball and pray it falls in.

Yeah. The strange thing would be if Conte was actually considered for Barca bench. He's the polar opposite of the style of football Barcelona represent.
Maybe Barca, needs to reinvent themselves just saying. but Conte revamping them would be interesting. Agree with you though, Conte's probably waiting on ManU.

Suddenly it might not happen, because Barcelona are not ready to pay 5 million due to LaLiga's FFP and will try to compensate them with a friendly or 3 million. Or Xavi pay them on his own.

Apparently Barca are going to pay only half of the release clause. The other half is going to be paid by Xavi. :lol:

I like Barcas new strategy. You want to play/coach for us? then you can prove yourself by paying the fee or play for free.

Marotta should learn.

Nobody expects anything big from Xavi, he's just needed to stabilize the sinking ship. Better late than later.

He hooked his controller on the video console, so it's entirely up to him now.

Xavi should become Pep assistant first at City. Too soon to get this job, especially in hectic situation like now.

There is no Messi there. Just bunch of new players, without know tiki taka system. Except Busquest and Pique.
