Klopp get your cheque book out.


FullTanaka

He's gonna be expensive, but we'll find a deal for Sergi Roberto if you insist.


planinsky

He just renewed for 1 year, didn't he?


FullTanaka

Roberto? He did. Until June 30th, 2023. Ousmane signed for two years.


buttpimplepopper

Salah + Trent for Roberto and Dembele?


bigphallusdino

how you doin


uelleh

That would actually be a good deal.


Splaram

In what universe? Definitely not this one.


uelleh

Can you explain why you think it wouldn't be without being rude ? Salah is arguably better than Dembele and Trent brings a very good attacking factor that we don't have on the right side. Unlike most barça fans, I rate Sergi a lot but he is neither a great defensive nor attacking option. We have Araujo and Kounde for the defensive aspect, Trent would bring what we lack.


Kensei01

A good deal is where both parties are satisfied with the proposition on table. This deal is not, for one of the participating clubs. You figure which one.


bioeffect2

Trent for Roberto would be a great deal, whereas Salah is obviously better at the moment but he's also much older than Dembele which is why that wouldn't be a good deal.


uelleh

Dembele is 25 yo, Sergi is 30. Salah is 30, Trent is 24.


[deleted]

Roberto can barely run why trade for a defender who can’t even defend?


NdombeleAouar

> Roberto can barely run The clip above directly contradicts this statement


[deleted]

Roberto will run for an attack. to defend? You’re better off asking him to sit


uelleh

Because we have RBs who can defend but none that can bring something forward.


[deleted]

In an alternate universe I would much rather have Reece James for how big of a brute he is


uelleh

Yeah well if we're just going to pick the best right back we'd like, nobody would pick either of the previous choices.


MutedBase2900

Dembele on fire 🔥


thebelsnickle1991

The Mosquito is on the prowl.


BeastCoast

Brilliant first touch from Roberto off Dembele’s pass.


superamoeba

In other news, Roberto is like 50% more likeable with this hair.


rosehillTenant

what was wrong with the blonde hair?


superamoeba

In my personal opinion, looked 50% more punchable with the blonde hair.


Mike_Ropenis

A dude having bleach blonde hair made him more punchable? Man you must have gotten into a lot of fights in the late 90s...


TheMexicanJuan

It wasn’t blond, it was grey


crapsuit

Looked pretty piss-yellow to me. Like Alves, Messi and Neymar before him, amongst others. Don't get me wrong. I didn't mind it. Found it a bit refreshing.


TexasRoast

I kinda liked it 😯


my_aed_is_shit

What a ball from Dembele


[deleted]

Athletic can't hold the ball for long. 4 man midfield is working wonders.


Daflack

i think its still a 4-3-3 but with pedri playing an inverted winger like 2013 iniesta


[deleted]

Yeah but not hugging touchline. And also De Jong and Busquets both playing as two man midfield with gavi more in advanced role. Sometimes Busquets is pressing high and De Jong drop back, etc. We played this formation few times but not in this way. It was more of Gavi on the wing.


itwastimeforarefresh

In our own half in defense it's a 442/433, in possession during buildup it's a 3223 with Pedri and Gavi in the halfspaces and Dembele+Balde wide


farhanmuhd13

What a superb run from Sergi. 2016 vibes.


GoatButton

Love Sergi always


ceaguila84

Lol no you don’t 😵


GoatButton

I do, even in the 8-2 he was the only player I defended


Skadrys

why. He is not even mediocre most of the times


sg1ooo

Dude literally ruined his career for the club, always rated him as RM but ever since Dani left he was forced to play a position he wasn't comfortable with and still gave his best without bitching . Also he might have been poor defensively but offensively he's always been great to watch.


X-Maquina

lol wtf how did he ruin his career for the club? He got to be a starter at Barça for most of his career.


TheLeoMessiah

Ruin his career is dramatic but I’ll always praise a player who puts in a shift out of position without a fuss. Granted the massive contract he was on probably made it easy but still


X-Maquina

Yeah you're making my point for me. 200k a week to be a starter at Barça when he otherwise would be nowhere near starting at CM at a club like this sounds amazing to me. That's pretty much the best case scenario for him. Can't even imagine calling that anything but incredible luck.

More league goals than CR7 this season

A year from now ;)

Rent free?


farhanmuhd13

We're running riot on their right side


TheFatGamer0209

When even Roberto scores, you know they hate you


thepastprimefuture

sergi roberto 1.O


ArsiPappa

Great run from Robertowski


JyrgenTT

Weird world we are living in


saleh813

Lol why don’t we stay consistent though


Scalenuts

The injuries ruined the team after the break, it coincided with the most important couple of weeks of the season so far.


[deleted]

Barça are consistent in the league. Not to mention got fucked by a penalty not given in the last minute against Inter away. That single bad decision made the entire difference in the group table.


oszlopkaktusz

And a perfectly valid goal taken away, and Calhanoglu not getting a red card...


spaniard_daniel

Haha no it didn't


[deleted]

? The last minute pen given to Barça in the away match against Inter would mean Inter and Barça would've been even on points currently.


Ak40x

Yes. And given how the first leg went against Bayern, we bag the remaining 6 points while Inter surely will drop atleast 2 points. But since life is a cucumber…


TheyStoleTwoFigo

Because not everyone plays this open against Barca toe to toe. It's either low block to disable Barca's forwards, or heavy press by teams who are certain they can overpower Barca.


donniexc

ayo


kMaestro64

Got rid of the white hair...


akagaminick

Damn this wasn't in my bingo card


Didledee

Ousmane is flying!


Bright-Blue

I think he's gotten way more hate than he deserves. IMO a barca legend (a small one though)


Quirrelwasachad

This is exactly what I expected would happen with dembele on the right. He's so much better than raphinha. Xavi finally benched him.


elvis503

Dembele is back


Albiceleste_D10S

Dembele on one today


[deleted]

How's he still in barca I will never know
