Well, yes and no - he is more of a hybrid that knows how to adapt himself to his partner. As an illustration, every time he partners with Sakho he turns into a sweeper as Sakho's definitely the quicker and more aggressive of the two. Then again, whilst he plays with Alex he reverts into...

I sincerely want to know what makes you think that paying €40m for an injury prone sweeper nearing his thirties is going to solve a purely systemic issue, when this Barça side already has two sweepers of its own and more than anything requires a stopper or two?

:beer2: Been raving on for ages about Barça paying through its nose for defenders it doesn't actually need. Having three sweepers in the team would make no apparent sense, especially when all you need is a stopper / fast, agile, yet physical defender to pair up with both Pique and Bartra. Iñigo...

Knee-jerk gold at its best. Can't wait till the official transfer period opens – reading the stuff said here will be profoundly entertaining.

Except Marquez was incredibly quick on the turn and had a knack for good amount of sliding tackles, being more of agile mould making him a perfect partner for Pique. Then all went to tatters due to his injury from which he never recovered.

They see me trollin' they hatin'.

Yeah, 2016 actually. My bad.

Next elections -> 2014

Can't be fussed to go into a lengthy post of why I think Rosell's tenure was going to be a fairly nerve wrecking one, it merely suffices to say that this was long overdue.

The issue here is following: Villa will most likely leave whether we like it or not. I sincerely believe that he still has enough desire in him to play as a starter instead of warming the bench. I can see him leaving. What comes to selling Alexis now - I do understand where you come from in...

All I see is a whole lot of accusations flying around (partly true, nonetheless) without any potential (meaning, REAL) options presented. Luckily for our team, none of you decide over its future. What comes to Cuenca, he has already said that he'll stay in Amsterdam for another season due to...

Even so, being a Castilla player he would most likely not accept a role at Barça. In addition to that, he still has 4 years left of his contract, which in turn could make Madrid raise the tentative fee closer to 25m. I just don't see him at Barca.

First of all, Cavani would be around 60m due to de Laurentiis being a giddy prick and one annoying negotiator to deal with. Second, why would Lopez leave Madrid? He does have a contract until 2017, so it is highly unlikely he'd leave.

Why do people keep on bringing Heynckes, whose Madrid won its seventh European cup back in '98. Rotten merengue rubbish (and no, him coaching Athletic Bilbao doesn't make it any better).

Too many chances or not, the fact still remains the when you look at the current market there isn't a single cheap option that could play the hybrid 9 / RW role. To elaborate on this, the market conditions, as they currently stand, are appalling simply due to inflationary prices for nearly every...

I say that with relative ease while taking into consideration all of the possible RW / #9 hybrids out there and the fact that none of them will ever come cheap. You not only have to look at long-term solutions but also the market itself to see that selling Sanchez with only Deulofeu / Pedro on...

The whole premise of this poll is skewed, but hey, as long as you choose either of the two. I like how some of you think that Barça will magically acquire a whole new forward line just to appease your whimsy minds, without even giving a second of thought to what does that mean in monetary...

I must pry, whom are these real forwards Barça has the chance of acquiring, without paying silly money?

I honestly don't see why would Sanchez leave, given he'd be a perfect #9 / RW hybrid, if Barça are to buy Neymar. Having both Alexis and Neymar on the team would improve our forward three quite a bit and would give us more options especially with Villa heading out and Pedro probably turning into...

I think it's still Sandy being a dick and outdoing much of what Laporta brought in. By the looks of it, I'm not too far off given he sincerely has had a pattern in his decision-making.
