Barcelona coach Vilanova wants to sign three players this summer: Thiago Silva, Neymar, and Gundogan or Isco. [sport] If Valdes is staying, I'd rather get a 2nd CB than another midfielder (unless we sell Cesc or something, which won't happen)...

Good. Barcastuff: Tw Puyol: "All reports that are being published are false. I'm only focusing on recovering and being fully fit for next season." #fcblive Looks like the rumors are BS.

Barcastuff: Barcelona centre back Carles Puyol (35) wants to leave Barcelona this summer. He will join AC Milan. [btv] Sounds like BS to me...

Barcastuff: Barcelona want Reina to replace Valdes this summer, and then buy a young, promising goalkeeper next year, when Pinto's contract expires [md] Interesting... but I'd rather just go with someone like Ter Stegen to replace Valdes next season. He's probably way better than Reina already.

I think he'll be in midfield as a playmaker, but he'll still be scoring quite a few goals. A bit like Lampard I suppose.

He's a lot younger and has amazing potential. Don't get me wrong though, I certainly wouldn't mind Handanovic if he's half as good as I've heard he is.

You forgot Deulofeu. I'd say: Keep: Tello, Montoya, Deulofeu, maybe Bartra Loan: Bartra (maybe), Muniesa, Rafinha, Roberto, Cuenca Sell: Fontas and JDS

Busquets says hi.

I hear he's been the best goalie in Serie A this season (even better than Buffon), so I wouldn't be too pissed with him. I'd prefer someone like Ter Stegen though.

If you know what I mean :pep:

12 players? :pep:

+1. I don't think Bayern will choke this time, but who knows...

What's your best XI of players at or below the age of 22? Here's mine: -----------------------De Gea---------------------------- Montoya-----Varane-----------Nastasic------------Alaba -----------------------Verrati------------------------ --------------Thiago-------------Gotze-----------------...

True. We were the better team over 38 games, BUT individual brilliance, especially from Messi, was a large part of that.

True. Our performance in big games this season has been shit, and Tito is a large part of the reason. After all, our two main problems in big games have been tactics and motivation, and those are the coach's job. And while I think we've been fairly impressive in La Liga, we've had to rely quite...

Of course. Tito should have played the youngsters way more with our huge lead. That's not the point I'm trying to make though. What I'm trying to say is that we can get 100 points, which is impressive, so I don't think the "Madrid lost the league, Barca didn't win it" argument is valid. However...

It's not because of Madrid's shittiness, we can equal the record of 100 points, after all, which is pretty impresive. However, you're right about Messi. We've needed individual brilliance quite a bit this season (the numerous times Messi's saved our asses, Adriano saved our asses with amazing...

From what I hear, it sucks trying to buy players from Porto. Not to mention we already have Montoya, though I don't think I'd mind selling Alves and getting Danilo for about the same amount we get for Alves. I'm not sure how much Danilo would cost though, so I'm not sure that would happen...

If we wanna make Montoya the starter, Alves should be benched, not sold, IMO. Not sure if he'd accept being on the bench though.

Like I said on the transfers and rumors thread, I don't think getting Lewandowski is a great idea. If Villa leaves, we need a striker who can also play on the wing, so we can play Messi in his best position most of the time, but also play him behind a striker when we need to.
