    Gerard Deulofeu

    Just like Messi and Thiago did. He is inexperienced and this is what it will look like the first 10-15 games. Just like with other newbies they will sit down with him and show him the videos what he does wrong, what he has to improve and give him the time it takes. With Deulofeu at this stage of...

    Gerard Piqué

    De Boer was past his prime when he joined Barcelona, at Ajax he was great yes but at Barcelona he never impressed me, in fact I was utterly disappointed considering how great he was in the early and mid 1990s. He was better than Abelardo for sure but even I'm better than Abelardo. In fact, the...

    Gerard Piqué

    Now or then it doesn't matter, beside Pique and Puyol, the only good central defender this club has seen since Nadal in the mid 90s is Marquez. A bunch have passed and all have failed, Couto, Blanc, Pellegrino, Bogarde, Dehu, Christanval, Coco, Andersson, Thuram, Milito, Caceres and Chygrynskiy...

    Gerard Piqué

    I don't understand all this bashing on Pique, he is one of the best defenders this club has had the last 30-40 years. You want to talk about bad defenders? What about Cristanval, Dehu, Bogarde, Moratalla, Pedraza, Abelardo. Those were fucking jokes compared to Pique.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    Actually, la liga was very defensive in the late 1960s and early 1970s, only a few teams managed to score over 50 goals. When FC Barcelona scored 75 goals in the 73-74 season it was the first time since Real Madrid in the 64-65 season that any team scored over 2 goals per match. Few teams even...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    It will depend on other things to, such as injuries, other players performances, if Neymar arrive this summer then in the future the goalscoring will be more eqilibrated between him and Messi rather than Messi scoring 50% of all goals for Barcelona. Also his own motivation will be a factor, can...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    The thing is, he doesn't have to, the stars are all lined up for him. Every time he scores he brakes a new record, he now has two Ronaldo "busters" waiting for him right around the corner.

    Andrés Iniesta

    I agree that Iniesta score higher on the flair scale, he just dominate his opponents in a way few players have since I began watching football many decades ago. His way of floating around like an ice-skater effortlessly in minuscule spaces and an ability to trick his opponent into stupid at...

    I need the truth !!!

    The Di Stefano affair has now been officially uncovered, one of the investigators is Sid Lowe and I hope he will do write up of it in The Guardian. In the meanwhile, here you can read about it in Spanish...

    Sergio Ramos: "Voy con el Barça cuando juegan con un equipo extranjero"

    It would be a major upset if Barsa landed Ramos. Remember he is from Andalucia, there are many anecdotal stories regarding Catalan and Andalusian footballers (Hierro for example). Lots of hard feelings on the pitch, Andalusian people are Spanish patriots and pretty much hate Catalans. This is...

    Messi's Records - Counting

    When this season is over, Messi will pretty much hold every scoring record on hand in la liga, there are only a few of them left for him until he will have complete monopoly on la liga scoring records. He now has the following la liga records in his possession: Most goals scored in one season...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    If this list is anything to go by, then Messi is just one goal away from another world record, suposedly Teodor Peterek scored 22 goals in 16 consecutive league matches in Polish first division 1937-38. I'm pretty sure this is the world record, unless someone can dig up some obscure league in...

    Why are you a Barcelona fan?

    With all due respect, Barcelona lost at least 10 years of hard work at La Masia becuse of stupid politics by our executive board. Already in the mid 90s there were several players that could have been much more than they were had in not been because of reckless spending on useless players...

    Seung Woo Lee

    I think this is just a stupid rule, if say the family of the kid decide to move abroad, then he should be able to play for whatever local team in that country. All the club should have to do is ensure the parents have a work permit and help them find some simple job.

    Gerard Deulofeu

    Tito really needs to start thinking about giving Deulofeu some taste of playing with the first team, now that the league is practically won I don't see any problem with giving him 30 minutes at least 5-6 games and 1 or 2 starts. Next season I expect Tito to play him 15-20 games with the A-squad...

    Penal Madrid

    Today Marca will probably beat their sales record in Catalonia, the front page is a bomb, it is an open declaration of war with Real Madrid :xavi:

    1 - Victor Valdes

    Maybe it is really overstated, but remember, this is coming directly from the people that made Barcelona successful in the first place, people such as Frank Rijkaard, Hek Ten Cate, Pep Guardiola, Tito Vilanova, Juan Carlos Unzué etc. For sure, maybe they are overestimating his value to the club...

    1 - Victor Valdes

    For the simple reason that they have no alternative, they can bring in X keeper and they will still end up with Pinto as first choice keeper for next season because the Barcelona model is so complicated to learn. The club really have no choice. The little money the club will get for Valdes in...

    1 - Victor Valdes

    One thing is that he himself want to leave, another thing is that the club has no intention to sell him. The public announcement was a really stupid move as the club has no intention to let him go before his contract end. He might end up buying out his contract but Sandro Rosell will not run...
