    Camp Nou

    I think the first thing is to wipe out the debt, as in 0. Then they should design a complete package, stadium, indoor arena, parking garage, offices, a hotel and commercial spaces (not a commercial center though ala Florentino). The land that Camp Nou sits on is around 14 ha in size, so the...

    Barca Forum Hall of Fame

    I go with Pierre Littbarski, he was a phenomenal dribbler and an immensely enjoyable footballer to watch. He could even give Iniesta a run for the money with his own "croqueta". Back in the eighties, I had him as my favorite next Crack for Barcelona, but it never happened :(

    Neymar - v2

    Paulista is now days considered a preseason warm up competition. I say it is comparable to the preseason friendlies played by European clubs. Regarding the Brazilian league, few people follow it outside of South America, it is very underrated in Europe, I'd say it is on par with any European...

    1 - Victor Valdes

    This post is full of baseless rant You see this from the wrong end of the problem, in Barcelona the keeper's main concern is not to control the ball but to distribute it. In fact, Valdes is one of the most important players in Barcelona regarding maintaining the possession. You can point to...

What are Gallardos reasons for spilling these beans at this particular moment? Why does he use a Catalan radio station and not a Spanish one? Why...

    Records to beat - Leo Messi

    Barring any serious injury, I think it is almost a given that he will be the first player in la liga history to score 300+ goals. I also believe he will at some point reach the 100 goals mark in the UEFA Champions League. Then he might reach 50 goals in the Spanish Cup if he plays that...

    1 - Victor Valdes

    I think most people on this board have to narrow concept when it comes to goalkeepers and Barcelona. After all, this is the club that have struggled to find a decent GK for decades going all the way back to the departure of Miguel Reina who still ranks among the top 3 GK in the clubs history as...
