:lol: Though it's a substitute left back at BARCA, and of course we need him. He will more likely be a rotation left back than a substitute. On matches when Alves is rested, and we want a more youthful left, or when Abidal has to be rested... And we have many, many matches to play.

Could be the perfect replacement for Sylvinho in every way! TBH i would initially have preferred Zhirkov since he is more versatile and offers more cover up and down the left. However, since that's most likely impossible now, Filipe would be a good choice. Capdevila is far too old and would...

:lol: You cock! :D

I do consider Villa to be the number 1 dream signing, BUT... when you say we should focus on a younger signing, we can consider Bojan to be that 'signing' for us, in that if we have Forlán as our no. 1 striker, he will allow for Bojan's better development, and will be ready to step down when...

It seems we may have an Arshavin #2...

I hope he reads this thread so he can be showered by Culé love... We love you Leo!!! :wub: Happy birthday!

Yup, so is true, although 10% certainly won't be the end of the world for Madrid and is incorrect. I laughed at the movie roles bit tough :lol:

CA + Beast - I had the impression that the Cronaldo image rights issue was settled at 60-40 to Ronaldo, not 50-50. But yes, I have no doubts as for Madrid's financial health in the future, because as unbelievable as their activity may be, there will always be a way for them.

Looks a bit like Agüero. I mean his face.

Hmm we'll just have to wait an see. I wouldn't say it's a machiavellian plot, it's all pretty ordinary these days to bring in commercialism, but I do maintain that Barca won't go that way quite yet. I just wonder what will happen next, when our contract with UNICEF runs out. I agree with you...

Yes I completely agree with you there Beast, that's how I posted my Barca squad for next season in the thread for that topic. Mata would be a more realistic and ideal target for Barca because Henry won't go anywhere, and they will be able to share that position. I said in my post that most...

That's crazy, 60 million for Ribéry, on top of what you've already splashed.

Yes that's the key imo, that he would be able to cover everywhere on the left. Unfortunately it seems that we won't be getting him because we seem too focused on Filipe Luis, but we'll see. Well at least Filipe is younger than Zhirkov...

Yes, what Warik says about the reputation issue makes sense. Silva rose to stardom when Valencia were a lot better off, playing in the CL. Like the long-range bomb Silva scored against Chelsea for example. It really boosted his reputation. However, over the past 2 years Valencia have been in...

I agree with JALJM, I think that short-haired Messi is a lot cuter. The long hair makes him look a bit ick, I can't really explain it but it doesn't suit his small size. But when he cuts his hair he looks a lot happier and faster too :p When he has long hair it reminds me too much of Maxi Lopez...

Yes I see your point, well I think that because of continuity, Mata would be more suited to Pep's system. Although Silva would be a perfect way to make up for all of the matches where Messi will be rested, though it would relegate Pedro out of the Barca squad for sure. Let's just say that I'd be...

I'd much prefer Mata as he could come in and carry on the Henry role. I am 100% sure he'd be more than capable. He would inject some pace that Titi is losing. I wouldn't like Silva to come because he is injured too much, and it wouldn't be a great way to give depth to our squad in all...

I was referring to the structures at the top of the club, not the financial aspect :p Barca extending the presidential term to provide for more stability, and Madrid creating their little board of advisers to ensure that swift manager changes don't impact the squad in the worst possible manner.

Well Joan's not the only one who comes up with plans etc. Hmm yes although it is just a theory of sorts, it is nothing firm and we'll just have to wait and see. Yes indeed it's not inevitable. I trust that it won't happen, but if it does then I will be forced to look at the positives of such...

+1 Will probably play in Copa Catalunya + travel to CWC but may not play.
