Xavi has asked for the signing of Jules Koundé.

granted that Romero is a shit source and Kounde will be very hard to get, but that'd be a fantastic first signing in theory. Xavi

Managers are very important... but players win games and trophies. I look at this Barca squad and it's literally half built. Some very nice pieces. And then some gaping needs.

Re: Xavi, next Barca manager
Firstly, he is a leader, he has great personality, knows in n out of everything in Barca n Spain. He was a generational Spanish talent who was pretty much key to them dominating those yrs 2008- until he left. Even prior to that he was a good MF for ages in the 2000s. I believe he will have the authority to make hard decisions and be tough which is what Barca need now, but also win other the players n fans, while keeping the management n press relationships well (like Zidane I hope). Dont expect him to do anything like Pep, Cruyff, or Zidane level, but definitely dont think he would fail badly like Lampard or Pirlo etc.
Secondly this will definitely be a real long term project and so he will be given a lot of time I believe, at least a few yrs, Ole style, basically he will be immune, especially until we rebuild financially first and then the buying of real stars again. Meanwhile he will of course implement his style and progress while getting min. results which I think should be quite low requirement, since we are just so bad now... definitely top 4 would do, or even missing out that he would stay.
Thirdly I think Sergi is good for interim, no idea about how good he is managing teams level, but he really was a Barca legend, so he will know what to do until Xavi arrives.
Fourthly Im truly happy and excited a bit after so long I think it will take a long time still, but we are FINALLY STARTING our real rebuild with Xavi. The past few managers have really just been more short term and results/trophies focused (obviously since we also had Messi who could have won us stuff), but now it is time, after soooo long delayed.
Its just so great to see him, a true legend of the club and the game, a very likable guy to come back to manage Barca finally.
Cant wait for all the haters trolling and the continual discussions and more new inevitable Memes?

Santi Cazorla (Al Sadd): "My teammates have understood Xavi's philosophy very well, they are delighted with him. A lot of credit is taken away from him for the fact that he coaches a team in Qatar. Well, I would invite them to watch the games to see the level." [md]

Laporta: "My opinion of Xavi? Xavi is in a very interesting process, evolving very well, I have very good references. I speak with him very often, I have a healthy relationship with him, and I know his opinion about the team and what he thinks should be done."

Re: Xavi, next Barca manager
On one hand, Xavi is smarter than guys like Lampard, Ole, Seedorf, Arteta, Inzaghi, and Pirlo. He will also have players who will do a better job at playing his version of football compared to Pirlo trying to do that at Juve. Though I also think he’s more dogmatic in his approach compared to all of those names which can be a major weakness if/when things start going wrong.
Xavi will probably play 3-4-3 with a box midfield. So essentially a 3-2-5 in possession. I’m personally interested to see who he will be playing in between the lines off the CF. Will it be attacking midfielders with Dembele and Fati hugging the line? Or will he play Dembele and Fati centrally and then play actual wingbacks in Dest and Alba who will hug the line instead? If it’s the former and it’s going to be attacking midfielders then I can see Coutinho being a potential bounce back candidate.

Turki Al-Ali: The #AlSadd administration has agreed on Xavi’s move to Barcelona after the payment of the release clause stipulated in the contract. We’ve agreed on cooperation with Barcelona in the future. Xavi is an important part of Al-Sadd’s history and we wish him success. pic.twitter.com/3FvCOdYl5X
