Barca vs Chelsea 2.0 :pep:

4-0 incoming. Recently, it's seemed to me like Barca players do well when everyone doubts them. Remember how Spain barely beat Portugal? And a lot of people I know said that Spain would lose in the final (especially after Italy's great game against Germany)... we all know how that turned out...

Kompany would definitely be my choice. Not gonna happen though, unless he wants to leave City for some reason. Besides Kompany, Hummels or Vertonghen would be the best ones IMO. Martinez or Marquinhos might also be good, though we need someone more experienced IMO (Martinez might be...

:busquets:

If we play anything like we did in the 1st leg against Milan, it's wide open. I don't see it happening, now that we seem to be out of our dip in form, not to mention Tito will be back soon. Anything can happen though. If we play anything like we did in the 2nd leg, we're through to the semis.

That goal against Milan alone was worth twice what we paid for him.

Isn't Thiago supposed to be the Xavi replacement? And from what I hear, Isco's more of a CAM, a bit like Iniesta. Anyways, we don't need him, since we already have Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas and Thiago. Don't see him going to RM either, I don't see him starting over Ozil, and they have Modric and...

Could be good, but I don't see him leaving Milan.

He'd be a good buy for us if Villa leaves (if he doesn't, I really don't see the need for a new forward). We'll probably have to offload a few more players to make it happen though.

Maldini, since we already have the best midfield and attack in the world but a meh defense.

We don't need him. As good as Toure is, I don't see him starting over Busquets, and we have Song and Masch as backups. If he's willing to sit on the bench (and he'll most likely need to take a pay cut as well), why not, but I doubt he will be. Besides, we have other needs (GK, CB).

Keep Cuenca, offload everyone else.

Don't we have a 50m transfer budget? Should be enough for a CB (around 30m) and GK (around 20m). We'll have a bit more after selling Valdes. The club might want to sell a bit of dead wood though (they'll definitely want to sell some if they plan on getting a new forward as well).

Eh, it wouldn't have changed much tbh. Even though we didn't win that game, we've still pretty much won the league. Anyways, I agree he should be given more playing time but I highly doubt this is a conspiracy.

What if Villa's limited playing time this season was all part of management's plan to get Villa fit and fresh for the CL? http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/203/685/conspiracy-keanu.jpg?1321901003

Hope this causes the coaching staff to give him more playing time.

I can see him being the difference between us winning the CL and crashing out like we did last time. He gives us another goal threat, which will probably be crucial. Didn't Tito or someone say that Villa would be crucial to the second half of the season? How right he was.

Knowing Puyol, it'll hopefully be on the lower end of the 1-3 months. Isn't Marquinhos better though? From what I hear, he has world-class potential. I'd still rather get a more experienced CB than a prospect though.

Rayo are challenging for a European spot, so the coaching staff may wanna start Iniesta. I think he should be started but then subbed off. Thiago-Song-Fabregas should do though.
