You're being ridiculous. His ball control and passing are very good.

He's a great young talent but there are others and will be others. It's not as if young attacking midfielders are going extinct and he's our last hope. Xavi was poor by his standards last season but still better than Thiago. As for Cesc, they are different types of player. Even then cesc in the...

He'd work in theory in our high line. He looks bad at Chelsea because they defend deep. He is still inconsistent though.

Barca is a huge club and there are always going to be young talents out there. We are lucky to be able to let thiago go and be able to find another great youngster quite easily. It's not as if thiago is our only hope for a good midfield in the future. What can't change is our attitude towards...

You can't be pushed around like that. Players need to know that they are not in charge. Also for the second part... He can learn patience, like iniesta and Xavi before him.

If you beleive conspiracies then we already have first option on Oliver Torres,who's the closest thing to a Xavi replacement out there, explaining David Villa's low transfer fee (that's probably because he has a high wage though). So we're not too bothered about Thiago. Or there's the other...

Maybe that was a dumb question now I think about it. Not every signing is a direct replacement but he could bring in a totally different player for a style and formation change. I think ancellotti will use one of his trademark formations like 4-3-1-2. Illaramendi is a good choice then as there...

It's mostly the manager and sporting director that deal with transfers, obviously the president approves of it but mostly doesn't intervene. The only transfer Rosell can be responsible for is Neymar and he can be called "Rosell's signing"

They are poorer than barca. It's just Barcelona aren't playing to full potential. It's not ridiculous to say we're the second best team in the world after bayern when we are playing the right players in the right positions and are motivated. The only reason Madrid have had success against us in...

I don't know much about illaramendi. Is he an alonso replacement or a khedira replacement? If he's an alonso kind of player then it seems a pointless transfer as modric has been excellent for them in the second half of last season.

He'll surpass Ozil. Ozil is a great player but can drift out of games as he's not a player that demands the ball, this happened in pretty much every big champions league match for them this season. I think Isco won't disappear in big matches and has more technical ability, even if he won't get...

I can't beleive you support what Rosell is doing.

Let's get things straight though. While pep is not being very honourable he is still entitled to what he's doing as his interests should be with bayern now. Its the people that go on as if pep is infallible and has so much "class" that annoy me.The real enemy is Rosell. He is a fucking cancer...

Well said. There are too many who value a manager or player above the club. Barca is more important than all. We can't forgive pep for what he's doing now.

I don't hate Pep like you do. I don't see how anyone on this forum could apart from Zlatan fans. I dont agree with the others who love him even when he should be regarded as our rival and therefore enemy now he is manager of the main team between us and the champions league.

I wouldn't get him. He'd be useful if we want to win one more champions league with this generation but it makes much more sense to cut our losses and build a new team that will,have a period of dominance maybe in two or three seasons. We save money and have long term more success. While we...

You can't say David didn't give a lot to this club in the time before his injury which nobody could have expected. He was a great signing, if a little expensive (price was fair at the time though).

Sorry to be pessimistic, but I doubt we'll be Bayern's main competitor next season. I dont think we're even favourites for our own league title, never mind the Champions League. There are better teams than us out there.

As much as I like pep and what he has given barca, we can't be so nice to him now he's at bayern. He's a rival and enemy just like anyone else.

I think we should let him go. He clearly doesn't want to be here. Our club is being thrown down the toilet by the president, manager and sporting director. They are all hopeless.
