Alexander Hleb

I don't want him back. We need to play Thiago and Dos Santos as much as we can. They are better than him anyway.

And we don't use him on their positions anyway

Attacking midfielder?

 

[desoe]

We don't have attacking midfielders in the way you imagine it. We have DM, CM's and wingers. During his time in Barca Hleb was used mainly as a LW or RW and I don't remember even one time we used him as a CM, maybe except one or two. (for 10-15 minutes haha)

The right example in this case was not JDS & Thiago, but Pedro & Bojan.

Yes, because Pep didn't need backup for midfielders, and Hleb is best on that position imo - I mean Iniesta is Mr. Goalscorer comparing to Hleb. We need wingers who can score, like Messi, Pedro and Henry (last year), and "attacking midfielders" who can pass the ball like Xavi, Iniesta, Thiago, JDS, Keita. Hleb can pass the ball and that's all, but there so place for him here... You can say CM's but our CM's will play in any team as AM's... We are different, that's for sure...

One of the many reasons he didn't succeed here

"He is under contract with Barcelona and he is looking forward to playing there."

 

[FCB_Titi_LB]

tbh, we could have used him this season

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Hleb was useless.

 

[Barcaman]

Indeed. With Thiago and Dos Santos emerging, hopefully we'll have a cover for Xaviesta and won't have to look for costly CMs. 17 million down the drain with this guy...

 

[desoe]

You Hleb haters ...

 

[iced1776]

I would take Thiago or JDS before Hleb every day of the week. The guy is a whiner, he says he wants to come back but once he gets here he will lose his head again and blame the club. And he isn't as talented as the youngsters either.

 

[Aryagorn]

And he isn't as talented as the youngsters either.

lol... that's one huge statement!! An experienced player is always better than youngsters

 

[barca96]

he never got the opportunity to play in his position.
trust me, he is good for us..he is quality!

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

Pleb is a complete waste of space. Even Stuttgart don't want him.

 

[Aryagorn]

Didn't Hleb give us a tough time at their home!? He's quality, but his attitude sucks ass
