The only reason I spoke of Cesc was cos of you chatting shit. Simple as.

At 20 Cesc was playing as a starter for Arsenal racking 4 goals and 16 assists during the '06 - 07 season. The following season he had 13 goals and 22 assists. Now, stats aren't everything but they certainly contribute to the overall end product. Now, Thiago is indeed much more talented than...

It's not only about their age, but also how much constant playing time at the top would Thiago be able to secure to improve further. It still remains to be seen whether such allegation will come true as of yet.

The way I see it, most of the Brazilian young stars are snatched to Europe at a relatively young age. That's one factor, which might actually affect their behaviour one way or the other. If given a few more years at their clubs to gradually mature and get their head screwed right, such problems...

Regardless of how much some of us dislike Fabregas, saying that that Thiago is better than Cesc is tad ludicrous. Cesc has been playing first-team footie for 7-8 years now and has matured into a really fine midfielder who can be deemed as world class at the moment, while also being Arsenal's...

I truly am suspicious when it comes to EMD reporting about transfers.

There are rumours linking him with CE Europa managed by his dad (?)

Most interesting part of that is that Giovinco was hailed as Del Piero's heir when he first burst onto the scene. I still do like the kid quite a lot. And I think that given time and enormous amount of games / experience, he might still become an extremely good player. Don't know about WC tho.

Especially when there was a similar case with Iago Falqué 2-3 years back. And we all know how that turned out.

Yeah, that one too. Couldn't believe Bojanski fluffed such a chance, but then again, not too surprised either given his confidence is torn to shreds.

His pass leading to the first goal was great, following by the one that set-up Mata for the spot. Great performance!

Dongou = /god mode on. Such a beast. I really like the kid and think he has everything to succeed at top level if he'll keep up with his performances all the way up to Barça B / first-team.

The thing with Pedro is that he provides soooooo much to the team. His pressing, off-ball movement, finishing and overall work-rate is admirable. I do admit that Ronaldo does score more and Barça would probably be unstoppable, but you have to think of other issues like, among other things...

Most of the people barely watched Frank's Barça...

Blasting it? I simply said it wasn't exactly anything new or fresh. And that's just my opinion. Besides, regardless of being a Barça fan I foremost am a fan of good literature and articles. If it's not one in my opinion, then I'll stick to that. It's not like I automatically prefer everything...

This. I skimmed through it and facepalmed a fair bit. Everything mentioned in that post had already been said so many times, it was mainly just repetitive. Not exactly a tactical read either.

HBD for Badgerinho!

Looks like Gio's picked up a few things along the years. Good for him.

It's not that people are over-rating him. Loads of people on this forum have seen him play for Juvenil A, Barça B and now slowly becoming a first-teamer. Problem with him is that, like Meta said, he plays as if he'd have something to prove and instead of going for the simple option he tends to...

It's not about Thiago leaving (which most likely isn't even happening), but the fact that we would really have an identical case to the Fabrégas one. The mere thought of us chasing another La Masia prospect for years riles me up to no end.
