    1 - Victor Valdes

    I think you will find that winning the Zamora in a team that consistently has near 70% possession of the ball aint that great an achievement. In order for a team to score goals, they have to have the ball. Im not saying VV isnt a good keeper, im saying that his decision making has cost us...

    1 - Victor Valdes

    EXACTLY! VV has had a nightmare in the 2 most important games of the season: he should have done better with the header for Real's first goal; he should not have come off his line as far for the second..defenders were getting to Ronaldo - all he did was shift the ball to the right and easily...

    2012-2013 : What is needed ?

    Love the look of Neuer, but dont think Munich will ever sell him. terStegen is young but only a few cm taller than Valdes. I ALWAYS remember - with great hurt - Helmuth Duckadam in the 85/86 European cup final. A giant of a keeper at 1.93m, in the days when most were a lot less than 1.90m, he...

    2012-2013 : What is needed ?

    3 good points: he'd have to be world class; wouldnt play a lot; and would cost more than should be payed. Now that Villa will be back, perhaps with Pedro fit again and back to his best, then the Villa..Messi..Pedro/Sanchez front 3 will be enough, certainly when, IMO, we need a LB and a CB a...

    2012-2013 : What is needed ?

    This may be a sacrilege to some, but here it is: What about a new goalkeeper for next year? VV is good one-on-one; he is a good shot-stopper. One of my problems with him is his height; based on a good big one is better that a good little one, i would rather we had a 'keeper of 1.90 or more; and...

    2012-2013 : What is needed ?

    There IS an answer to the parked bus. We have to stretch the pitch lengthways and widthways. Lengthways, we have to allow teams to get out of their own half. We press the ball so high, and win it back, we force teams to play in the last third of the pitch. When that happens you have 20 players...

    Defender for next season?

    Next time ure at a Spurs board meeting can you get me tickets. Do you know if you will give Harry Redknap a new contract? Until it happens it hasnt happened. I think that this is the difference between the present and the future. Einstein hypothesised that until we can move fatser than the speed...

    2012-2013 : What is needed ?

    Gosh we can agree to disagree ;) Im not suggesting Barca play like an English team...Hell thats almost sacriligious to say. All im saying is that we DON'T have that option as a get-out-of-jail if necessary. We throw away avenues for scoring more goals by not having the OPTION - thats all i mean...

    Defender for next season?

    Defensive problems solved in a word...Vertonghen! He can play LB, CB, DM. He is tall (1.89m), is left footed, gets involved in attacks and had a good shot. He is Ajax captain so has leadership qualities. He is only 25 years old. If you play 3 at the back, you can go...

    2012-2013 : What is needed ?

    C'mon guys. He's not a clown, and to criticise him because he has big ears! Really? Is that the kind of fair-minded, intelligent, well thought out argument we wnat to see here? He may not fit into Barca's system, BUT he's a bloody good player playing for an average team in a crappy league. How...

    2012-2013 : What is needed ?

    When a winger plays the ball, ALL the time, on the ground back inside, then you narrow down what the oppositions' defence has to cope with. Barca's way of playing IS brilliant, all im saying is that we do not play an all-round game of football. We dont score headers from corners. We dont get to...

    Yet strangely we have no-one for the wingers to make crosses for.

    1 - Victor Valdes

    Have to say that when it really mattered, VV was poor for Real's second goal, and DID NOT have to race so far from his line whan he was chipped by Ramirez. Having said that, Barca do not have the best defence in the world. IMO they need a quality LB and (perhaps 2) CBs.

    2012-2013 : What is needed ?

    What is needed for Barca is a Plan 'B'. Every team that plays us KNOW we will have all the ball, so they will sit back and try to hit us on the break. Teams that play 4-4-2 and have the back 4 well-drilled and the midfield line close to them will be hard to break down. If they bring the back 4...

    Defender for next season?

    How about Stefan RADU the romanian who plays for Lazio, i think. He can play CB or LB Also ANSALDI the argentinian who plays for Kazan. He can play on both flanks and is a v good defender, and is great going forward. Aly Cissokho of Lyon has power and pace.

    They may be able to afford his buy-out, but the 'wee man' would NEVER leave Barca for mere money, and especially to a team as poor as ManC.:2145960713mundoemot

    9 - Samuel Eto'o

    I agree totally; work rate is all. Footie is all about SPACE: when you dont have the ball, deny space to your opponents by hunting the ball down in packs; when you have the ball, work your asses off giving the person on the ball options. Barcas success this season is all down to this, imo...
