    Aleix Vidal

    If I'm not mistaken, Alves signed his contract extension a few days after we signed Vidal. On June 7 we were still desperate to buy anything resembling a right-flank player.

    Aleix Vidal

    I get your point, but the price is hardly relevant. FCB has a track record of overpaying transfers. The club desperately needed to sign someone, and they needed someone who would be willing to wait until January to play. That's hard enough as it is, even harder when it's a RB you're looking for.

    Aleix Vidal

    I feel like the anticipation of the registration ban made Vidal into something that he's not. Let's not forget, this is a guy who changed 10 clubs in 9 years of his senior career, many of them Segunda clubs. At some point not so long ago it was questionable whether he would make it as a...

    Arda Turan

    Yesterday was the first game I've seen in a long time, and all I can say is that he looked much better than the invisible Rakitić. At one point I think he had an open shot but he didn't take it, that was a bit disappointing.

    Arda Turan

    I've been crazy busy for the past few months and haven't really managed to keep up with the season. Anyone here in the mood to write a quick summary of how's Arda doing?

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    C'mon now, hating a left back for not scoring in the rare chance he gets, but not hating forwards like Neymar or Suarez for the same reason, except they had many more opportunities and missed much more often.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Oh look, another failed penalty taken by someone else. Shocker. I just love laughing at the thought that so many people here were adamant that Messi should let Suarez and Neymar take penalties. We all see how that turned out so far. Sure there's something about taking FKs and PKs that's...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Please tell me more about how Messi shouldn't take penalties and free kicks, especially from the left.

    Radamel Falcao

    What a sad story. He's completely irrelevant now, and only a few years ago he was at the top.

    Classy reply from Lucho. That's how you handle provocative questions, well done sir.

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    I posted about this a few months ago and my post was deleted immediately. :lol:

    Fifa Ballon d'or 2015

    Theoretically, a player who shows the biggest gap between himself and the second-best in his position doesn't even have to be among the greatest players (in general). Just take a look at freaking fullbacks.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    That other slightly in-depth interview that was published recently also suggests this. I think Suarez lives close to him, as well. Basically the text said that after Pinto left the club, Messi's closest friends there are Mascherano and Suarez.

    Luis Enrique

    What a biased point of view. Surely there were, and there always are, people who will criticize anyone for anything. But FCB supporters had valid arguments to doubt and criticize Lucho at some point last season. He was making strange decisions, repeating his mistakes, and top of all, refused to...

    Gerard Piqué

    Maybe I should have worded that differently. What I'm trying to say is that it doesn't necessarily make sense to judge a player by the number of trophies his club won during his time there. Those trophies are not necessarily a reflection of the quality of that particular player, which is why I...

    Gerard Piqué

    That's all nice but I don't see the point in such comparisons. Douglas has won a treble (or maybe a double, since he didn't play CL games) in his first year here, but that says absolutely nothing about him.

    Kluivert claims that he voted for Messi.

    I could look at that for days.
