Gavi, Fati & Pedri got the juice. With careful nurturing they could become World beaters.
Whether Barca can afford to keep them or even if they would want to stay at Barca is another matter, though.
don't give them credit for him

He'll be lucky to get a club that will match his wages.

Watch him be linked to Barca and Juve. And United have all the leverage with 3.5 years left on his contract.
Rangnick broke Martial will within a week.

Barca really believe in Xavi like that? Asking out if genuine curiosity and lack of knowing.

They don't have anyone else. Realistically who could of Barca hired instead? If you know anything about Laporta then you'll understand why he chose Xavi.
Barca have an experience problem. Pique and Biscuits are declined so much that they are a problem to the team when they play and don't get the protection. Problem is the next inline of experience the 27-30 y/o players are either not wanted or not good enough/failed so Pique and Biscuits are being overused Pique more so. And then you have all the under 23's. Barca need good and less damaged players in the 24-27 range. The only good player is De Jong. Everyone else is potential or broken in some form or other.
It's kinda like the same situation Arsenal find themselves in. Where they have loads of potential in the young players but the experiences ones are letting them down in someway or another. Father time not being good enough or failed to settle to the league.

Actually Shaw is the opposite of Martial, as in he does better when there's competition.
He's on the same boat with him based on have more bad season's than good.
But Marital played in all our cup wins.

I want the same energy towards Xavi's credentials for being Barca manager as people had for Ole being our manager because of 'United DNA'. At least Ole's interim period felt like something special. Arguably though we had a much better squad and ownership
I honestly wonder how Barcelona are gonna solve their financial situation. I can't think in my lifetime other than Leeds and Blackburn when a club took a huge nosedive over finances and even then, this seems much more severe
Nah shyt happened over year ago. Dude just hasn’t been the same. Man shaved his head bald with no hairline issues. That’s always a sign something is goin on . Shoutout to BritneyWatch him be linked to Barca and Juve. And United have all the leverage with 3.5 years left on his contract.
