He doesn't suit our system Meta. By and large the minutes Pep has given him in the last 3 seasons have been cameos when games are dead. You don't learn much from those. Not every player can grow from 10mins substitutions. He looked a prospect when Frank chucked him in. All those players you...

He needs regular football, and he's not going to get that at Barca. Not with the current squad, and definitely not after this summer's spending. Loan or sell, wherever he goes he's likely to be a starter, and he'll turn out to be a top class striker. But there simply isn't room for him at Barca...

Really surprising Roma went with Lucho, very random choice to be fair given the other candidates out there and Lucho's lack of experience. I hope he has a knack for it straight away just like Pep, it'd be brilliant for him and he'd become a perfect successor for Pep as well.

Sanchez is probably the best bet for me. Rossi is awesome and a great goalscorer, but he would suit our system less IMO. Villa can move to the middle if Messi is rested, and we then have a choice of Villa/Pedro/Sanchez for the wing positions. All depends what kind of money we can negotiate for.

A few of my pics from the game: The last one of my dad, on the road back to the station, all the trees on the pavement had these lights next to them. After the game they turned them to Barca colours! Amazing :lol:

U21 would be a massive step down for him. He played last summer, and he'll be playing next summer. Better for him to rest I think.

Difficult to say. Rome we faced a better United side, it was Pep's first year, and we won a treble for the first time. It was an incredible night. Wembley will live with me more vividly because I was there, plus you add in we beat United on home soil, and the repeat of 1992. Tough to choose...

He was so good on Saturday, brilliant performance. Was so calm on the ball, and defensively he made a lot of challenges. Just what we needed from him. Even the English press had to admit he played well.

Everyone went absolutely crazy when that goal went in, was such an amazing strike! The 2 goal cushion relaxed everyone as well, so the rest of the game was basically a celebration. I'll put some pictures up later if I get round to it.

What a game, what a day!!! Truly amazing in the stadium, our fans were brilliant, constant singing and noise. Obviously we were in the general sale section, so the crowd was mixed, albeit slightly more United fans. No trouble though, everyone just got on with it. We played unbelievably well...

I'm off to Wembley now everyone. Let's hope we're all celebrating tonight!!! VISCA BARCA!!!!!! :beer2:

He's got a key role tonight, we need a massive performance from him. I think we'll get it. The midfield will be packed I imagine, so his support of Xaviesta will be crucial.

:thumbsup2: Going to be a very tough game, but I believe we'll pull through. I do think we'll need to score twice though.

So close now! Is Abi def out or will it be a last minute decision from Pep?

Meta there is still a difference between Iniesta as a sub and Bojan. Bojan is naturally a goalscorer, it's harder for a player like him to come on and create something out of nothing, which Iniesta has always had in his locker. I'd also say Frank's use of Iniesta was far better than Pep's has...

They reached a limit with those Kappa ones Roma and Spurs had :lol:

Henrique has looked ok to be fair. Not Barca class, but he's certainly good enough for a top 10 side, maybe top 6. Definitely someone we could sell and get decent money for.

I think Marcelo probably found himself in an awkward situation, Real would have jumped on it straight away and possibly pushed him to make a claim he may not have been sure about. They've certainly embarrassed themselves.

I quite like the Milan one actually :D Arsenal's home kit is quite a simple design, like a throw back to a few decades ago. What is that crap around the badge though? Why have they added that?

Messi - Ridiculous amount of goals, and produced in those big moments when we needed him, especially with the injuries/lack of form other players were suffering from Abidal - His best season yet, so composed, we were without Puyol for a long time but everything was fine when Abi was playing...
