There have been rumors that Pep wanted a clearout. I think the rumors said that he wanted to sell Cesc and Villa as well. I believe those rumors have been proven false though.

Of course, UEFA no longer favors us :mou: :mou:'d probably come up with another excuse if we kicked his ass again, maybe he'd claim that the Qatar foundation bribed the CIA to bribe UEFA to help us?

They both have a small chance. However, realistically, they're both pretty much out. Anything can happen though. Interestingly enough, the last time Barca and Madrid were both pretty much out, both made it through... :pep: Clasico final anyone? :pep:

Thiago can play as a CDM as part of a double pivot, right? Some have been saying that we should switch to a double pivot (though I personally don't agree). Perhaps we can go with a Busquets-Thiago double pivot once Xavi retires? I wouldn't mind seeing it tried at some point (though, again, I...

Unless Ronaldo wins the CL (very unlikely since RM are almost out), I think Messi's gonna win the Ballon d'or, especially if he ends up beating Ronaldo stats wise (And knowing Messi, he will, despite Ronaldo's head start.). Especially considering that Bayern (who will probably win the CL)...

Perhaps that's (part of) the reason Ronaldo (apparently) wants to leave?

Lahm says hi.

I think he's instructed not to press. He's a team player, just look at what he did against PSG. Came on injured and carried us past them. Point is, he clearly cares about the team, and not being a team player is not something you can accuse Messi of. I doubt he'd not press (therefore hurting the...

The budget is 50m plus sales I believe. If that 4-5 players thing is true, we will probably spend quite a bit more than 50m (selling players to be able to do so).

The only way Dortmund can replace Gotze: http://footyreflex.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/chuck-norris-signs-for-dortmund.jpg

While I'd like someone younger, his age isn't really what I'd have a big problem with. It's the injury-proneness. Which, like I've said before, is the last thing we need. Still, I think he'd be perfect for us if he weren't so injury prone.

I believe our players mainly said something along the lines of "it's tough, but we'll try." While I think we have a chance, I'm not expecting us to go through. I do hope we at least try and go down fighting, if we go down. IMO, we have a very small chance of going through, but we have a...

Kompany's a leader too. How fast is he? I think he could be perfect if he's fast (though he hasn't had the best season...).

Well, I tend to repeat myself :lol:

Yeah, agree. We really should have gone with Villa. Could have made the difference IMO. It did make the difference against Milan, and yesterday's game reminded me of the first leg against Milan. Needless to say, we'll need to use Villa to have any hope of progressing.

+1 I'd say Kompany and maybe Vertonghen are better options than Hummels (since Hummels is too similar to Pique), but while Martinez and Marquinhos do have potential, we need someone more experienced. So Hummels is a better option than them (though they might be better options if they were more...

Messi should be at 100% next week. "No forwards"? Villa says hi. I think we have a chance, though it's extremely slim. I'm hoping we'll put up a good performance, but yeah, while I think we have a chance, I'm definitely not expecting us to pull it off.

Time to take Klopp and Lewandowski :D

Tbf, we're also up against a better team (at least on paper). I'm still pissed about the loss yesterday, and RM getting owned does not excuse it. But it does make me feel a hell of a lot better :D Btw, can Lewandowski play out wide? I like the way he owned RM :D

Yup. With the right changes, Barca can be awesome again next season IMO. As for RM, I'm not too sure if Mou and Ronaldo are leaving. Then again, they've been shit this season (though they've had their moments, like the clasicos), or at least haven't done anywhere near as well as people would...
