    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Read what I said? I never said he plays 4 midfielders every game. And you think that Tata has NOT changed the teams tactics. Are you sure about that? I don't remember Dani Alves firing aimless high crosses into the box over and over again to little or zero effect up until this season. Nor did...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    I agree. Trust in La Masia. :004: Tata isn't playing 4 midfielders against the Top teams for strictly tactical reasons. He does it because he is trying to shoehorn all the biggest names into the team. Proof of this being out-of-form Neymar starting the Clasico over in-form Pedro. And YES, our...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Chel$ki have 41 year old Mark Schwarzer as their No.2. Admittedly, Pinto IS past his best, however he knows the clubs style and it would probably be a bonus for the new recruit ter Stegen, to have someone here with his experience to help guide through his first season. When I said depth, I...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Mascherano despite all the abuse he gets (myself included) has been a good servant to the club and certainly been a more effective signing than Song. It's not Mascherano's fault he is being played out of position and he tries his best, but one of them HAS to leave this summer and if it turns out...

    Manchester United

    I am not implying that Rooney is in their class. But neither is RvP. Rooney has just signed a contract that makes him the highest paid player at the club, plus he is also the clubs ambassador. He will be club Captain next season and has been at Old Trafford for 10 years. That means he has...

    Manchester United

    Instead of coming out with immature one-liners with no explanation, let's hear your reasons why? Or is it because YOU ARE the bottler? :yawn:

    Manchester United

    Unless he would rather sit on the bench. Rooney will become the CF next season. That means Mata, Kagawa or if they are really desperate; FAILaini will play behind him. There is no position for RvP in the team. Plus he's proven himself to be a bottler. He may be talented, but he isn't fit to...

    Manchester United

    Man Utd need a total rebuild, that is clear to see to everyone. But you made a good point in that; how is Moyes going to attract the quality of player he needs to get the club back at the top? The short answer is - He can't. Man Utd is a huge club and is a draw in itself, however, no CL...

    1 - Victor Valdes

    :study: All players make mistakes, but when it's a goalkeeper it's highlighted more because it usually results in a goal. To say Valdes has been mediocre for a lot of the time is very disrespectful and inaccurate. Being FC Barcelona GK is probably the most demanding of any club, because he is...

    Alen Halilović

    From what little I've seen of him (hard to give a proper assessment from YouTube), he appears to have Barca DNA. He knows what he wants to do with the ball before he receives it, and has a wonderful eye for a pass, and dribbling ability. Plus he's Left-Footed! :hooray: He kind of reminds me of...

    This doesn't have to be the end! :idea: I've just had an idea! It sounds like the deal for ter Stegen is all but signed, so he will be coming to Barcelona next season no matter what. So he we be our #1, but in the meantime, Victor stays at home for another season by signing a one year...

    1 Bayern player to join Barcelona?

    I chose Neuer because we need a GK with VV's imminent departure and I don't know if the MAtS deal has been done yet in principle. Just reading up on the MAtS thread. Apparently it's a done deal. :blush: Anyway, I don't really like signing players from our rivals, no matter how good they are...

    Premier League 2013/14

    This may be true, but there are plenty of players that left Arsenal because of Wenger. Are you not including the 2011 League Cup Final vs Birmingham? It's not a leap of faith to suggest that had Pep, Klopp or Mourinho been Arsenal manager, they would have won that trophy. This is what I think...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    I've seen a fair bit of Liverpool this season when he's been getting some games and I've been surprised at how poor he has been. I did say last summer that he could be a good option, but after seeing his recent performances I have changed my mind and don't believe he is the answer to our...

    Premier League 2013/14

    So in effect you're are saying that you a competing for 3rd place? What top player (realistically) would you sign to allow you to compete against your rivals? And ONLY signing 1 player will make this leap? :eusa_think: I think the team needs more than one player to really close that gap.

    Premier League 2013/14

    This question: If a real top class (winning) coach had been in charge of Arsenal with the same squad of players, a Pep, a Klopp, a Mourinho, do you think they would be struggling to make the top 4? Arsenal were fortunate that they had a plot of land right next to Highbury to build the new...
