It may be Richard Arnold, who has worked with Ed over the last 10 years, and he's got to distance himself from what's happened in the last eight years, put his own footprint on it and make sure that he doesn't become someone who takes over what's already been happening, he's got to assess everything that is going on at the club.

The last real positive I think Barca need to take away is, unsurprisingly Ousmane Dembele. In January it looked as if Dembele had played his last game for the club, now he’s become one of their most important players. His 11 assists in the league has him joint-top, along with Karim Benzema. The difference is that Benzema has played 27 games, Dembele has played just 14! The reason I left Dembele to last is because this is a two-way street. Yes Dembele has really come on, and he looks finally like the player we thought he would be when they signed. But, there is still no new deal, or even any reports of a new deal. If this situation ends up with Dembele just playing himself into a bigger contract somewhere else I’m not sure this is a win.
