I think Halilović from Dinamo is the only 'clear' rumour atm. We're also being linked with Fazio from Sevilla, imo good backup - better to have Bartra as third choice and give him more and more of Masch'es minutes instead of paying big money and taking a big risk on somebody else.

Imo he doesn't have the qualities a DM should have in Barca. Defensively, sure. But having the vision, link up, passing range, decision making, speed ect not in my book. Ideally we try to sign cover for Xavi and Busi at the same time and buy a new backup CB since Puyi is not holding up. The...

Before we sell, Song we have to get a new DM that's at least as good as Song is. Because Song is by no means a bad player, he is maybe just a little bit to slow with his passing, sometimes bad decision making and he isn't the defensive force I wished him to be.

Sure thing! Messi has another gear or two, he needs to find these gears. Neymar wasn't playing. Alexis was alright but could do even better. But the rest of the team did play very good and close to their highest level, with small tactical twitches, faster and more aggressive pressing and more...

This is almost 100%, only Man U could choke. This is the order in which I think they are strongest: Barca (yes, yes, I'm optimistic - but seriously, Bayern didn't look all that good) Bayern Real Madrid PSG Chelsea Atlético Madrid Borussia Dortmund (without Götze, Gundogan is always injured, Lew...

The funny part was that Robben and 'The Professor' had an argument about this. A week later Bayern got another PK and Pep said that Robben should take it, but Robben just shook his head and looked angry at Pep thinking like "don't you tell me what to do"!

This is one of the reasons I love Barca, what other team use their CB as a CF in the 80th minute even when they are 1 goal up? All of a sudden Pique is there, scoring a tap in!!! :barca scarf: Anyway, it's very very close - it's no scandal the linesman thought it was offside.

Indeed. Maybe he didn't think it through, journalists just try to make you say something they can twist and turn. But honestly, I always thought of Pep as a bit of a psychopath - not the dangerous kind, but still weird as hell.

Not sure, but next week we have Zenit-Dortmund, Olympiacos-ManU, Schalke-RealM and Gala-Chelski - maybe we won't have any home goals? :lol: But Man U will probably lose to the Greeks the way they play atm.

I'm truly not butthurt he left, I also didn't think he was good enough to play for us. We will have Xavi another season, Cesc and Iniesta a couple of seasons and we need to find a replacement for Xavi after next season - Thiago would never take over from Xavi. And against Arsenal he was totally...

Well, it was MDM's fault - but it was Kompany's poor positioning that lead up to the PK. He was like 3 meters behind the rest of the back 4, with better awareness he would have moved up and Messi would be offside.

Likewise...

I heard he is partying to much, I also heard that is why Real sold him - don't know how much truth there is to that, but boy he sucked tonight :shakeshead:

Wow, what a boring match. The only thing that saved Bayern from sucking was that Arsenal sucked even more. Did Pep lose it when he selected the starting 11 tonight? Next round when Bayern face somebody stronger I think they will be out of CL.

He was let down by his first touch a couple of times, but he also did some alright things. But it was hard for our 'forwards' to create anything since City played a very compact defensive first half, can't really just single Alexis out. But imo he keeps the ball better than Pedro - sure Pedro's...

City with Pellegrini's stupid comments just climbed to the top of my list of teams I dislike...

don't think it was possible, the two personalities could never mix. Pep is a man of principles, but his principles are wrong from time to time imo and just turns into being stubborn stupid.

Stop nitpicking, the tackle was practically on the line - the PK should be awarded if "contact continued until at least the line marking"... That is why I said 90%, even after watching the replay in slow-motion 30 times from different angles it's hard see where exactly Messi gets tripped and to...

Yeah I know, we have Rafinha and Delou + Suarez and Traore coming through. But he's only 17 and will play with Barca B next season - a lot can happen to Rafinha, Delou, Suarez and Traore - everything from long injuries to not fulfilling their talent etc. First of all, Halilovic looks like he can...

Exactly! The "it wouldn't been a fk in the EPL" comment is just silly, we didn't play an EPL game yesterday! And they can foul play, rough tackle as much as they want on a rainy day in Stoke - in CL we play more civilized :wave:
