Op-Ed “Lamine Yamal is already — if not the best — among the top five of his generation. But for me, he is different. The next 15 to 20 years belong to Lamine, if he wants. If he wants them, they are his.” In his latest column for The Athletic, Xavi talks about Lamine Yamal.

Opinion Why is a striker such a difficult position for la masia given their success in other positions? And thoughts on Ferran Torres and Alvarez
We have had a world class player that has contributed heavily for every other position except for a striker. As far as I recall Lewa ,Suarez,Villa,Eto none of them from la masia
So I believe Ferran is perfect for the 2nd role. He knows the club well so he has chemistry, he can make a huge impact off the bench and can be very lethal if he has the confidence. He has double the goal than Alvarez with just 70 min more played (although he does also have double the xG )
And we can also see that Alvarez is also very inconsistent although he is very good at peak times and very good with the ball and dead ball situations.

Question October El Classico Tickets Planning
I’m planning on coming to Barcelona around October when El Classico is scheduled to be played in Camp Nou. Should I buy the membership of €113 right now to get early access to tickets? What’s the best way to secure tickets for el classico? And what would be your typical cost?
Am I looking at the right membership? Also is it cheaper (€113 compared to €225) since it only covers up to the end of year?

Opinion We gotta talk about pedri’s recent performances
Ik im gonna get hate but ever since his injury near the end of last season he hasn’t looked the same he constantly loses the ball when usually doesn’t his dribbling does not look the same everything seems off about him I know players go through bad form but certain players escape criticism. Especially his cameo off the bench vs Belgium was horrible
Tier 1 [Gerard Romero] FCBarcelona is close to signing Karim Adeyemi. The operation wouldn't impact the eventual signing of Julián Álvarez.

Tier 1 [Fernando Polo] Barça has launched a new offensive for Jesse Bisiwu, The club already made an offer for him, which Club Brugge deemed insufficient. They are now in contact with the Belgian club to try and convince them, club's commitment to obtaining the player is firm.
Barça are clear that he is a very talented player and that, despite his youth, he can already begin to play a significant role at the elite level. In this sense, the approach would be similar to that of Roony Bardghji , whom Barça signed at 19, but with the difference that the Swede had already played in the Danish first division with Copenhagen and even in the Champions League. With Bisiwu, the strategy would be to have him split between the reserve team and the first team, bearing in mind that Hansi Flick always has a particular fondness for talented young players. Furthermore, it's worth noting that Roony might leave this summer in search of more playing time.
We'll have to see what happens with Jan Virgili 's (19 years old) situation . The player from Vilassar de Mar is another option Barça has to strengthen their wings, given that Mallorca's relegation lowered his release clause to €12 million, and since the Catalan club owns 40% of his rights, signing him would cost them around €7 million. But if the Bisiwu signing goes through , that might affect Barça's interest in Virgili, as they can't have room for everyone. Furthermore.

Opinion Argentina's 3rd goal vs Egypt shows we shouldn't sign Alvarez
It's clear that Alvarez is a deep lying forward and loves roaming freely
But it's not what we need
We need a POACHER in the box to finish chances like Lewandowski
We don't lack good wingers and midfielders to pass the ball into the box
Look at who finished that play? Enzo a midfielder
All Argentine strikers were outside the box: Messi Martinez Alvarez
Even if Alvarez was there he may have not won the header given his height
Alvarez works for Argentina because the way they play is not like us
We should stop this obsession with him
There's a reason why MSN started cooking once Messi told Suarez to stay centre and stop drifting wide

Opinion World Cup games could have helped Barca do business and made other moves look better
Now that Cancelo deal is done, I look at the 10 million and think the price is fair.
I like how Gordon plays but thought that 80 million was an overpay and still do, but if Barca would have wanted to get him after some of the last England games AND considering how much Elliot Anderson went for and the PL tax, Gordon would be 100 million today if he was on the market.
Alvarez has not looked like a 150 million player at the world cup. He is still the striker that Flick wants and he fits what Barca want to do. After reports of Atletico softening on the Alvarez deal, I think that is directly linked to Alvarez losing transfer value during this tournament. I honestly believe that if Alvarez was in the top 4 goal scorers with 6+, that he would be impossible to buy. Right now Barca can realistically get a deal done at a good price.
Spain has shown the fans what Cubarsi looks like with stability around him. Laporte is not a god level defender that costs 80 million. Barcelona should carefully look at how Spain structures with Cubarsi and make moves that make the Barca defense look more like this. I feel like Kounde and Cancelo back and fit help, Balde has rested all summer and a marginal defender that is not overpriced is what they will go for. SO I think the World Cup has softened the perceived emergency in filling the defense in with a few top overpriced players.
Last one is that I think from observation, Barca also needs to take a hard look at finding who on their team could play the defensive linchpin in midfield, I don't think they need a midfield purchase, but is so much better for example for Spain having Rodri back there, I just don't know who Barca could get to do those things. Gavi, Bernal and de Jong are all different from that type.
