FC Barcelona terminate the contract of Andoni Zubizarreta as Director of Football

neva 5get:

Zubizarreta (sports director): "Song can play centre back, but at Barça automatisms are very important at that position, he needs time"
Zubizarreta (sports director): "Douglas can play in a defense of 4, defense of 3, and even as midfielder. He gives us more tactical options"
Zubizarreta (sports director): "We have been following Douglas since two years. First scouting reports are from 2012
Zubizarreta (sports director): "If we'd have wanted, we'd already have sined a centre back, but we want someone who improves what we have."
Zubizarreta: "Benatia? We chose to sign Mathieu and Vermaelen. Every team has their own needs. We needed left-footed, versatile players."

you mean fussball didn't compile that list himself?

That figure would actually be respectable if you remove Suarez and Neymars deals. Those two alone drove up that number through the roof

Good article by Graham Hunter.

Also Bart will probably announce the Fiorentina fella pretty soon

I usually like Graham Hunter's articles. Thanks for sharing the link that I'll go through later.

I just wrote that I can accept Messi being sold but him going to Chelsea and playing under Mourinho is - I can't find the words. After all that we went through with Mourinho could it ever come to this? Guess in football anything is possible.

One question on the topic of this thread. Bartomeu says in his recent press conference that certain things happened that made him lose confidence in Zubi and there is also a hint that Zubi said some things which led to his sacking. Could someone please elaborate on this.
