Hope this is nothing more than a rumour, as Abidal should be given a role in the coaching staff instead of sending him packing after all he has done for the club. If this is Sandro's way of saying 'Thank You' I sincerely hope he won't be re-elected.

It's nothing more than being smart PR. Being one of the team's four captains he's obliged, not by his duty but more as the team's representative to the media, to polish things a bit and back them up with his own beliefs. Imagine the shitstorm if he would've lambasted the team for its...

Yeah, because he should have rather said. "El equipo ha competido muy mal hasta ahora y este equipo ya no tiene ganas para competir en este nivel." :rolleyes:

To heck with this.. FC Barcelona v. Bayern München: 5 - 0.

Kicking Unzúe to the curb, while hiring daddy Busquets was never the right way to go around it. Sandy really knows how to destroy the team just out of his personal feud with ¡El Presi!

It's not really Pedro's fault alone, though. The team has changed from a horizontal beast to a more of a vertical behemoth that turns ever so slowly when the need be for taking quicker action. Look at, for example, Messi who lurks near the box and then bursts out from there to either score or...

Good to see some of the old guard still knocking sense into people. :beer2: I wholeheartedly agree with this. The thing with Piqué is that he needs a fast, agile, and yet physical defender to play next to him. Essentially Piqué's a sweeper and he won't change his style just to fit the other...

Seems to be the general reaction among current Barça fans. Alba reminds me a bit of Abidal in his first year with us, when he had an occasional blunder here and there, but as the campaign went on he became rock solid in the defensive half. Alba can only improve on what he already offers, and I...

Wait, so are you discussing Hummels or Thiago Silva? Can't make heads or tails of it.

I'd rather see Messi reverting either to his initial position on the right wing so as to enable us to play with a real #9, or to seem him play in the hole in a more naturalised #10 position becoming a more active link between the midfield and rest of our forwards. Then again, if we are to...

I know I shouldn't but what the heck since I'm bored to death... What makes you two think that Hummels would solve our defensive woes? This is a genuine question, to which I would very much like a tactical answer spanning more than a few sentences.

Pretty much this. City are never going to sell Kompany for anything less than €30-40m, given they don't really have to (unless of course Kompany himself pushes for the transfer). Höwedes has looked quite decent from what I've seen of Schalke this season, although I'm not entirely sure whether...

Or Hummels for that matter, as we already have two CBs with an uncannily similar profile to Hummels'. What we need is a CB that would fit Piqué's / Bartra's style of play and be more of Puyol's mould, i.e. fast, agile and physical defender. Leadership skills would be a plus, but I very much...

Good GOD, no! Just NO! Why would Zubi even consider renewing that waste of space? Things like these make Txiki look a not too bad of an option to have around now...given he was the one who got Barça in the whole Keirrison mess in the first place. What does that say about Zubi?

We needed a beating, though. But, with harsh smack in our face, I believe the team will do better!

Jordi Codina... oh wait :lol:

Bayern München v. FC Barcelona: 1 - 1

Except that MD & Sport are 95% of the time full of 'you know what'

Chubby git.

Looked quite comfortable out there tonight and kept the game flowing with a number of smart passes.
