Nathan Ake

[richards30]

That does not require originating from Catalunya

but you make out you know everything going on at Barcelona but it seems you believe their propaganda bollocks!

 

[jimmy blue shoes]

Any Ake news?

No?

I'll come back tomorrow then!

 

[WRicko]

well judging by the pictures of a very attractive lady with Bernardo I think it's obvious what he was doing there !!

Still confused. Have not seen the lady I have not seen anything about him or Ferran in Scotland confused as to why either would be in Scotland regardless of the company. He could go anywhere in the world with whoever the lady is. Footballers usually go to warm places or exciting cities. I love Scotland tho

No it's the extension to the " Eric Garcia will be signing for Barca" thread - courtesy of @FCBarca.

Exactly. Becomes quite tedious to see a threat of interest gaining many new posts only to read and find out they are so far removed

Arrogant? Comical but not surprised that this aspect of my club is difficult for many to comprehend. Makes you sound bitter




Yet case in point, Pep himself sees himself eventually returning to Barca to coach youth players. Blaugrana, through & through

Keep saying it and one season you might be right,the sense of entitlement you have for Spanish players and pep is arrogant ,he would never spend five years here eh

Bernie looks like he was in Scotland on his ig last week.

If you say so . So your belief of everything Barca is just as a fan who likes to quote chapter and verse about anything and everything concerning the club.

I had assumed you must have the most intimate and informed knowledge of all the information you provide about the club , akin to being their PR and Media Officer.

Do you post an any other forums or just BM , and is that due the Pep being the manager ?

Richard Edghill came back here, but we don't gloat about it.

You do sound bitter if you can claim I am being arrogant that Catalan cantera kids would seek an eventual return to the club of their dreams. Pique left, came back. Cesc left, came back. Tello was kicked out, came back. Alba kicked out, came back. No chance that the most ideal academy constructed in Manchester could ever hold significance over a Catalan kid coming through La Masia. Even Pep has alluded to it in interviews many times over, City will have to take a long time to develop a culture that sustains itself - Barca have La Masia for more than 4 decades

What you describe as mitigating factors are temporal fluctuations, what is permanent is precisely the culture, history & local significance. You could build a utopia elsewhere but for a local Catalan kid Barca represents a unique dream. Then think of the South American influence at Barcelona, they will always be linked to the region due to language, climate and history. Even for the most blaugrana player ever in Pep, he too will make the pilgrimmage back so yeah absolutely comical

Wow. You have it bad. Clearly you can look in the rear view mirror, point to examples and wrap yourself in the mindset that this will be the case in the future, forever and ever, amen! We are in one of the most turbulent periods of modern history and football will be cast into some troubled waters. I think Manchester City are in a better place for the future than Barcelona. But there are no guarantees for either clubs, or any others come to that. So yeah, you are arrogant and comical. The real world is about to have a good go a ruining yours and everybody else’s train set.

Has he referenced the Barca Way? It's always a giveaway.

Well Pep gave them a couple of days off last week so I guess Bernardo and his girlfriend fancied a couple of days in a Scottish castle and why not ?

Probably went there to test his eyes.

 

[lonestay]

Looking at pics of his girlfriend nothing wrong with Bernie's eyes !!!!

Still waiting for FCBARCA to explain why every Barca player must crave to return.

What does he even mean by culture ? We are older We both play similar style football is actually more important in British culture than Spanish culture.

We have given him multiple reason why we are the better bet for a player from a footballing point of view.

He is making out like that at Barcelona they do not teach players how to play but instead lock them in the class room and fill them with pro Barca propaganda and reeducation so that they all love and adore Barcelona and can never make an assessment based on financials chances of player direction of travel on the field direction of travel off it transfer dealing debt board and management structure etc.

I would love him to try and come back about our set up now being potentially superior in terms of number of scouts CFG the recent buying of lots of youth the current results its yielding etc

You do realise we had an academy before we built the current one and it was successful and I am sure many of the people who currently work at the new one where at the old one. You make out like the academy is some sort of Barcelona propaganda unit that makes its players love the club rather than a place to develop skills to play football.

What is it that it does that all the other academies do not do ? to make the players love it so much regardless of the different levels of success that they have a different periods in time

 

[EricBrooksGhost]

I have never claimed to originate from Catalunya

Which Canton?

Fuck me Barcalona will be the last place to go back to with Lockdown round the corner

Although I do have a feeling Garcia won't sign a new contract, hope I am wrong but I dont like it when contracts drag on
Some you have that feeling its fine he will sign then you have that gut feeling just like Sane & that's the vibes I'm getting??

Its a big decision the lad has to make but with Ake, Carlos & Koulabily connection its botgering him & there's Pep whats he going to do??

Ake I recon will be a rock if he signs..

Funny I could have sworn we have/had loads of players from South America that have stayed here for their best years and not gone to barca

Boring, arrogant fucker you are mate. Not even from Barcelona yet here you are piping up about club culture and other shite. Pep may go back one day and fair play to him if he does, but your natural assumption that any kid that played for Barca dreams of ending up back there is nonsense. They dream of being top class footballers and anyone with a brain could tell you the best place to become a top class footballer isnt Barcelona and won't be Barcelona for a while yet.
