I'd rather we not go for him either. He's not needed. We have more than enough options up top for rotation, and I can't imagine Neymar working as hard for the team as the likes of Pedro, Messi, Alexis, and Villa do. Plus we have Tello on the bench, and Deulofeu coming up. He's a fun, flashy...

Not too bad for a guy with "bad dribbling skills". In all seriousness, its not his usual thing. He can occasionally get the better of his defenders but he's always been more about his deadly aim and finishing in front of goal. But he's not a terrible dribbler either like some have suggested...

If either of Alexis or Villa is to exit, it should be Alexis because we already have Pedro to perform the role he does. Villa may not bring the stamina or workrate Pedro does, but he's an older player anyway and its not his thing to pressure defenders for 90 min. running around like a headless...

^^^^True but I don't see them winning La Decima. Besides the poor play from midfield and their disorganized defense, there's just a real loser mentality in that team. It start with Mou who's never at fault for a loss, but always the refs, linesmen, plus UEFA conspiracy against him and his...

For all the special treatment he gets, he is one of the sulkiest players I've ever seen. With the exception of Mou, this guy is the biggest sore loser in football. Complains about everything.

Jordi Alba looks so out of place in that picture. :lol:

Well if he doesn't get games in the 2nd half of the season, then I think we all know the outcome. Sanchez tries hard and he hustles like nobody but we lack punch in front of goal without Villa. Sometimes I think some here assume Messi will score hat tricks every time and thats just not...

Yeah but does that alone warrant him having the starting spot over a many times proven world class player?? A player that is better than Alexis? Doesn't make much sense to me.

Strange to see how Tito clearly prefers Alexis over Villa. And even more strange to see that a few members on here are also on board with that. Alexis doesn't score, every now and then gets an assist, and often seems out of tune with the team. I love his hustle and defensive work, but he...

He didn't play bad at all. He was unlucky, though. That pitch was terrible. It affected all of Messi, Xavi, Villa, and Thiago. What I liked was that his teammates looked for him often. The goals will come as long as the link up is there. Nice assist for the first goal by Messi when...

No way he goes to City. He's going to one of Barcelona, Real Madrid, or maybe Chelsea or PSG. Those are the only options I can see being really attractive to him.

His latest comments suggest he's really reluctant to come over here. He probably should have made the jump before he became such a big star. Now he's totally comfortable, like royalty down there, with his family and friends close to him. Maybe he won't come this summer afterall.

I think Tello and Cuenca will stay. Both are young Canteranos. Deulofeu is definitely staying as you said. It will be either Alexis or Villa whom leaves to make room.

Alexis at his best is an excellent dribbler. Whats clear is he's lacking in confidence and thinking too much out there. He's so scared to make a mistake and leads to hesitation and thats all it takes in this game to mess up. You hesitate for 1 second, and you lose the ball, miss a shot, have...

I think Villa was good in the 1st half, but in the 2nd half he was moved to the center and he got lost in the shuffle. Being in the center just doesn't suit him in this false forward system. He was much better on the left when he was able to make some nice plays with Alba and Iniesta...

One of those players that doesn't have to have the most technically perfect match to be effective. His off the ball movements and finishing skills are so vital to our team and it does seem to go unappreciated around here at times Think his game winner vs Sevilla this season(Crucial points)...

"La concha de mi madre pa mi Alexis!" Poor guy has really had a rough start to the season. I think he'll be alright, though. Some of the injuries he brings on himself because he's a bit too reckless at times.

If Villa leaves, those 2 will stay along with Sanchez I think.

Neymar is more talented than them true, but that doesn't mean he would fit into the system as well as they would. The likes of Villa, Henry, and Cesc have all had trouble adapting and these are players with serious credentials and accomplishments and they all played in more difficult leagues...

It does seem he's being forced out. Sad because he doesnt deserve that. So the best we can hope for is a good season ot of him before he's on his way.
