    Bojan Krkić

    My bad, of course, what I said counts if someone doesn't buy out their entire contract.

    Bojan Krkić

    He has the right to say whatever he wants. It doesn't mean his words have any impact. If the club decides not to let anyone go, then no one is leaving. Simple as that. They have contractual obligations.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Am I the only one who thinks Messi's sleeve is awesome? I'm not even a fan of tattoos, really. But I love this one. I like how they incorporated the Sagrada Familia motif, and the coloring, etc.

    Martin Montoya

    I think that using Alba and Montoya together, with Montoya being the more defense-minded fullback (like Alves-Abidal reversed), could work well, because it would emphasize the strengths of both players, and minimize what they lack.

    Martin Montoya

    I agree. He was great in the SuperCup, and later in the season when Alves got injured (after playing something like 11 games in a row), Montoya did a great job replacing him. It seems that his best performances occured in that season, and after that, he was given fewer and fewer opportunities...

    Martin Montoya

    With Alves almost certainly leaving, Montoya should really make the most out of the next six months. This might be his chance to prove himself.

    Xavi Hernández

    Nice what they've done with those logos. I hope they make a difference.

    Gerard Piqué

    Great interview, thanks for sharing. And more of this, please. :wub: Are you going to continue at Barça? I'll retire at Barça. I don't know when - the older I’ll be, the better. I'm sure about that; I can't see myself wearing any other shirt. If I see that next year I'm not up to scratch, I'll...

    Cristian Tello

    So when his second year on loan expires, the default option is that he comes back, unless Porto or some other club buys him or loans him again?

    Rafinha Alcantara

    If you put it that way, my mistake then. But I know Xavi was underrated and barely appreciated among the general football public until well into his senior career. What the club thought within their ranks is a different story. But for the sake of argument, you mentioned Busquets as an...

    Rafinha Alcantara

    I share some of your concerns about him, but I always try to remember that even guys like Xavi and Iniesta, who later turned out to be some of the best midfielders ever, weren't considered to be some extraordinary incredible talents early on, like some other youngsters were. Both of them became...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    I would save him for the CL, as well. If we can't beat Bilbao with our best 10 + 1 sub, we don't really deserve to win. :lol:

    Cristian Tello

    Well, this is Barca, after all. :lol:

    Cristian Tello

    Thanks for the clarification, guys. Even if the other club wanted to send them back? And the player and FCB agree?

    Cristian Tello

    How does our transfer ban relate to players on loan? Are we allowed to bring them back? If so, I think we could use Tello. MSN can't play all minutes there are. And Pedro (if he stays) can't be the only backup. I rate Tello higher than Munir and the others.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    I'm not in favor of buying Gundogan, but top quality post, DonAndres. You never disappoint. :cheers:

    Is Vidal there as RB or RW?

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    That's my biggest worry, really. We might as well sign a pre-contract for next summer, then. But then again, it's always useful to have another player available, even without the CL.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Interesting. It's a double-edged sword, though. It's good for the team that the new player trains and gets used to the new team, but I guess most players would rather sign pre-contracts and stay at their current club for half a season until they can play at FCB.

    Daniel Alves

    FIFPro made some incredibly stupid decisions all along the way. It's almost as if they vote based on player publicity and not performance.
