Just a reminder for those of you in the back:

If Spain win tonight, Messi is the GOAT.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

@kakamay88 @BlaugranaXtra_ Reformed alcoholic labels new job as barman “a great opportunity”

@Mhoni_Hiyst Hope you’re right!

@Mhoni_Hiyst “Pep Guardiola - Free

Xavi - Free

Andrés Iniesta - Free

Sergio Busquets - Free

Gavi - Free

I'm forever grateful for La Masia. 🔵🔴”

If you’re mentioning him alongside those legends, that’s praise!

[Nigel Lane @nlaneFCB]

Financial room? Are you sure? Already signed Gordon and Adeyemi and Flick still wants Cancelo. Big money needed for a striker, CB definitely needed… I’m
Not sure where all this money is supposed to come from.

As I said, if the money is somehow there then that’s great, let’s go out and get a midfielder! But only after a striker and CB.

[Nigel Lane @nlaneFCB]

@Mhoni_Hiyst And here’s you praising Gavi; now you’re saying he’s average. Make up your mind!

[FCB Newmann @Mhoni_Hiyst]

Morgan Rogers - €138M

Elliot Anderson - €135M

Sandro Tonali - €118M

Mateus Fernandes - €100M

Ayyoub Bouaddi - €100M (pending)

Meanwhile...

Pep Guardiola - Free

Xavi - Free

Andrés Iniesta - Free

Sergio Busquets - Free

Gavi - Free

I'm forever grateful for La Masia. 🔵🔴

@trovewho Nah it’s different now that he has the 2 Copas and the WC under his belt. It would be sad to see it, but nothing like those dark days.

[Nigel Lane @nlaneFCB]

@Abberh3668 I don’t think Lamine’s value has gone up significantly. Everyone knew how good he was already and he hasn’t really gone above and beyond that yet. But if a player like Morgan Rogers costs £117m, then Lamine is worth £300m comfortably!

[Nigel Lane @nlaneFCB]

@zimodinho252 Some things never change!

[Nigel Lane @nlaneFCB]

Barca have signed Gordon and Adeyemi combined for less than what Chelsea have paid for Morgan Rogers.

[Nigel Lane @nlaneFCB]

I’m also mentioning Fermin and Olmo but you seem to be ignoring them. Look at Olmo’s performances this WC.

And I’ll ask again, do you see midfield as a higher priority than a striker and CB? For me, if money wasn’t an issue, then yes let’s go ahead and target a world class midfielder. But as things stand, we have far better depth in midfield than up front or at the back.

[Nigel Lane @nlaneFCB]

@zimodinho252 I’ll be happy either way… this is the dream final!

[Nigel Lane @nlaneFCB]

@NtajiD @Mhoni_Hiyst You’re right, completely forgot about that!

[Nigel Lane @nlaneFCB]

Gavi and Bernal are not average footballers, but even if you think so we still have Pedri, Fermin and Olmo. We’ve also seen Eric Garcia fill in very well in midfield when needed. We’re covered in Frenkie’s absence.

Again, I maintain that a striker and CB are much higher priorities. We’re not a club that can throw money around unnecessarily.

If it were your decision, what would you prioritize?

[Nigel Lane @nlaneFCB]

@FutGodzy If they’re fit, FDJ and Raphinha start, even with those signings.

[Nigel Lane @nlaneFCB]

@trovewho I don’t think they’re necessarily food-chaining anyone. They just threw a ridiculous sum of money Aston Villa’s way. On no planet is Rogers worth that much.

[Nigel Lane @nlaneFCB]

@LouisEra10 @trovewho Pedri isn’t a serious footballer?? Do you actually watch games?

[Nigel Lane @nlaneFCB]

Who is average from that list? All of them have games under their belt, all have been involved in the Spanish team except Bernal, but I’m sure he will be in the future once he has a good injury-free run, all trusted by Flick. They’re not overhyped in any sense!

Do you not think a striker and CB are higher priorities? Might even need a RB as well if Kounde leaves.
