    Who is best striker in the world ?

    Hard to tell as all of them are different players with different strenghts and weaknesses. It would be easier to ask who is the best striker for like Barca (and id indeed say Ibra there) ... but well. Generally Torres is the one who impresses me the most ... whenever hes not injured, so i voted him.

    Yaya Toure

    Although i actually remember his great past season, i was really impressed by his performance vs Bilbao last night. Winning back ball after ball, good passing and some impressive rushes incl. a nice dribble in the box on the right flank. Maybe its b/c i didnt see him play for a while now, but he...

    Maxwell

    Really good performance by Maxwell last night. Quick, agile and a very nice workrate. And the right passes on top of that. Didnt remember him flanking a lot, but i guess there werent real opportunities to do so. Rating him defensively is still though after a single match were the opponent was...

    Dmytro Chygrynskiy

    Im just a bit worried that Chyhrynsky could turn out like Tymoshshuk at Bayern Munich currently does. He was praised as one of the best DMs around, winnig the UEFA Cup last year with St. Petersburg (see the pattern ...), leading his team as captain and being a centerpiece of the ukranian...

    5 - Carles Puyol

    Well, i can go further and say that people who understand football hardly need a commentator ;) Anyway, Hudson is quite entertaining, thats why i actually like him a lot. Also the level of commentary in german tv is so damn low that listening to Hudson is pure convenience in comparison ...

    Champions league 09-10

    Absolutely. German TV showing it over and over again in replays :) Now for sth completely different: Is Cesc on the pitch currently?

    Did he start doing that after WC98? At least that would explain a lot ...

    Messi or Iniesta - the current BPITW?

    Yup, but dont forget that we are talking about the prolly two best players in the world right now, who (besides other qualities) mostly appear like having the ball glued to their feet. I dont see anyone with comparable "ball-treatening" skills, not even CR tbh. About the pace: MEssi is without...

    Will Barca spend more than 100 million on signings?

    Will happen if they buy Cesc for example, while not selling anyone of real value (i guess Guddys sale wont earn us a lot). I just dont know their financial situation too good, but it could mean they prolly wont have a lot of money left for next season, unless the loaned out players like Hleb...

    Biggest/Most intense derby in football.

    I picked el clasico, but other notable derbies not mentioned are the milan derby (quite intense, isnt it?) and the match between Dortmund and Schalke (most intense in germany), which is pretty much a real derby as both cities are next to each other and both clubs have among the biggest fanbase.

    Van Bommel

    His first season in munich was horrible for munich overall, and vB was one of a few with an okayish performance. And he took over the lead of a headless team after the departure of Ballack. The following seasons, munich fans noticed his technical flaws, which made him look pretty crappy...

    5 - Carles Puyol

    Im amused about where Puyol has his eyes on the 3rd pic ... reasonable tbh ... VERY reasonable! and we need more pics btw ...

    Do we have a sufficient backup for Xavi?

    winner!

    Dmytro Chygrynskiy

    I never really liked Bojan on the wings (well, more than Etoo, but still ...), to me hes a true central striker, lacking the oversight and passing/flanking as a winger, where assiting and setting up opportunities is a major task. Then he and even more Pedro, Jeffren and Gai are rather...

    Do we have a sufficient backup for Xavi?

    What happens if Xavi gets injured for a while. Can we compensate this w/out a huge quality loss that can harm our season objectives? And who would then be the best backup? Or do we still have to buy someone (also) to cover that risk?

    Dmytro Chygrynskiy

    True, but at least they were counted in as wingers, esp. Hleb who played there pretty much exclusively (except for the last 3 matches in La Liga when the CL starters were resting). Going for another CB therefore could be a hint that no more "standard" wingers are brought in, and the gap being...

    Dmytro Chygrynskiy

    Still deeply wondering why they so deperately want to sign another CB with Henrique being quite promising after his very solid season with Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. It could make sense if they ditch Marquez, but rumors say that his contract will be extended - or did that even happen already...

    Martin Caceres

    Pretty much sums it up. Hes also pretty fast for a defender, which is also a basic asset for playing in barcelona, but he lacks the tactical awareness and positioning when playing in a defensive line very highly positioned on the pitch. Thats also why i dont see a point in a loan. Either he...
