    Ibrahim Afellay

    I don't see how you can say Thiago will replace Xavi. Just watch them control the ball- they are completely different. Afellay can hold onto the ball, change positions/directions fluidly like Xavi and has short/long range vision. Xavi is more of a sit back and control the game type. When you've...

    David Luiz

    What else needs to be strengthened ROFL. Our midfield is looking better than ever with Afellay and Thiago is looking like pure class. Not to mention Mascherano is craving for playing time. Villa-Messi-Pedro is perfect and we got Bojan/Jeffren on the bench. Valdez is many more years to go. If...

    Edin Dzeko

    Dzeko is exactly what City needed. He's tall, smart, technical and can hold up the ball which means Tevez wont have to do everything by himself anymore. Not to mention he's pretty quick for a tall dude. They can send off Adebyor to the second division where he belongs and Santa Cruz can finally...

    Vincent Kompany

    Kompany has quickly become one of my top CB targets for Barca. I can't help admit that I've really enjoyed watching City this year. I like a lot of their players...especially now that they have Dzeko. Kompany has been a total BEAST and is the glue in that City defense. When he has a bad game the...

    Carlos Tevez

    I'd love to watch Tevez score a hat trick vs Man. United.

    Bojan Krkić

    Not really an excuse for his form. He's healthy and has been dreadful. I'd be afraid to start him as well if I was Pep. Hopefully he scores a nice goal or two in the Copa to get him on track. I agree however, watching him has been really frustrating- watching him fumble up that great pass from...

    Adriano Correia Claro

    Lol sometimes I dont think I watch the same game as people. When Adriano came in for Alves against Malaga he played AWFUL. He made 2-3 passes directly to the other team and was not even under pressure. His first touch was very bad and lost the ball a few times in a tangle of legs. I guess his...

    Daniel Alves

    Adriano should play as the RB while Alves is hurt. I hope he plays better than against Malaga though b/c he was awful. He played much better his first few appearances.

    Ibrahim Afellay

    Someone mentioned earlier in this thread, or another, that Afellay is a "keita-like" player. That seriously made me lol. Afellay has more creativity and vision in his right toe than Keita has in his entire body. Keita is a workhorse you unleash only against certain teams where it is imperitive...

    Edin Dzeko

    Dzeko is perfect for your team. He's exactly what you need, this way you don't need to make Tevez basically the lone striker and can give him freedom to roam the pitch. The first thing you have to do is scrap Mancini. Way to conservative. He started three defensive midfielders against Arsenal...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v1

    anything beats the purple mercurials from last year. UGLY. I actually think those orange kicks will look good on the pitch while watching the game, just not as fantastic up close...but when do we see shoes that close during the game anyway? I also loved the blue ones Messi/Alves wore 2...

    Which players should FC Barcelona buy in the upcoming years and why?

    I thought that depending on how Bojan did this year would determine his future at the club...but then they went on and extended his contract to 2015 which threw me off. I like Bojan but he's really disappointed me this year after having a great end of last season...I hope he improves. As for...

    Edin Dzeko

    I don't know how some of you can say he wont fit into the club? How does he not fit in but Adebyor and Santa Cruz do? Santa Cruz is getting old, injury prone and uninterested imo. He's gone and was a bad signing along with Adebyor who I've always found lazy and extremely overated. Most City...

    Javier Hernandez (Chicharito)

    Still has a lot to prove so don't get your panties in a bunch. I wouldn't say it was tremendous scouting, his appeal came from the WC much like Ozil. Manchester United just had the prestige to lure him in over the other interested clubs. He's slowly integrating the kid into the starting 11 imo...

    Ibrahim Afellay

    It is on GolTV news and on the official site that Ibrahim is included in the squad for tomorrow along with Messi and Puyol.

    Javier Pastore

    Cesc knew Barca wanted him back and that he'd have a pretty easy path home., yet still signed a contract. Pastore has a much more unrealistic chance of coming to Barca so why not sign a contract with a club that obviously wants you to stay and is willing to pay you.

    Ibrahim Afellay

    Actually I wouldn't be surprised if he's used as a midfieldier. Xavi is getting old, he's already showing signs of not being able to finish a game due to tendonitis; not to mention he'll be 31 in january- his conditioning is going to start to deteriorate faster. Keita is also turning 31 in...

    Gerard Piqué

    Thiago Silva was great in his first season for Milan. He messed up a few times the first 2 games but since then he's been great. He's been much more solid than Nesta and is way more versatile. Silva is extremely fast, great in 1 vs 1, good at clearing and can dribble/pass very well. His...

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    Nah, you''ve probably just got blind love for barcelona grown talent. Just last game where he was brought on as a sub, and the game before that, he had the ball in the midfield in a dangerous position (not many players behind him) and made an awful pass directly to the other team. He also holds...

    Ibrahim Afellay

    Not exactly sure what the reasoning was behind this signing... The most reasonable conclusion was "he was only 2-3 million". With that as a given, I see why we need a midfielder...just don't see why him necessarily. We were said to be offered Ozil for 11-12 million, but we declined him. I...
