    Has someone kidnapped Xavi?

    Also, he's playing deeper now so he won't clash with Cesc.

    Roura: “I’m convinced that we will climb out of this dip in form”

    Which CB would you sign for Barça?

    We've needed that for years. They opted to sign a midfielder with little defending ability. Any club ruled by incompetents will go pear-shaped eventually.

    Francesc "Tito" Vilanova

    Sometimes they are. For me it wouldn't be a snap judgment, since I'm seeing a rapid decline in the team's ability for a few matches now, and I think that any half-wit would have already signed a replacement weeks ago. Admittedly, at this point, no manager is going to makes us go through the next...

    Can Barca make it to the QF of the CL?

    We need a manager in the bench first.

    Raphael Varane

    And we went and signed Song because Zubi for some strange unfathomable reason thought he would make a good CB.

    Jordi Roura

    Yeah. The board is to blame for being to lazy to realize that, not Roura's.

    Roura: “I’m convinced that we will climb out of this dip in form”

    I know we'll overcome the dip in form, Jordi. It will coincidentally happen the second you leave the seat. Maybe for a manager who won't try the exact same formation that just failed against Milan against Madrid? Just a thought.

    Arsenal

    Gibbs, turns out, is going to be out of comission for a couple of months, hence the uncharacteristic January signing.

    Raphael Varane

    He didn't have "Messi in his pocket", but certainly had Iniesta on a very short leash. The kid is really good, which goes to show that signing quality CB's is not as difficult as Zubi seems to find it. Wonder if Zidane would take the Sporting Director spot for us?

    Arsenal

    The new signings are arriving any moment now. Yep. Super quality incoming. Here I am. Waiting. Any second now.

    Favorite La Liga club besides Barca?

    ¡Musho Betih!

    Alex Song

    I still say that he's make a better AM than sitting deep like Busquets. His best efforts last night came from his rushes towards the goal.

    Arsenal

    Heart of a lion. Not that good when defending, sadly.

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    To me, Eusebio's biggest problem is his absolute lack of understanding of possession football. If B can't defend from the midfield, we end up with defenders looking bad because they are overworked with a lot of spaces. Roberto has to focus on moving back all the time and can't be the playmaker...

    Arsenal

    I'm sorry? Have you forgotten already that Cesc spent most of every season injured or coming back from injury? Or all the games when he was completely anonymous? I don't doubt that when both are on, Cesc is the better player, but hey, let's take off the rose tinted glasses... "consistent" he was...

    Arsenal

    What about Ramsey? Coquelin? Oh, wait, you did say "good" midfielders. Well, the Ox can play in the midfield in a pinch. That's makes the midfield less urgent than the attack.
  18. Arachnid

    Arsenal

    No more midfielders, to begin with. We need anybody at all who can score. Demba Ba would have been great, but of course he's going to a richer club.

    Do we want Mourinho to leave?

    Depends. Are Madrid going back to the Good Old Times, when they fired a manager every six months or so? Because that'd be great. Our stability will trump their constant chaos almost every time. Are they going to get rid of Mourinho to bet on a long term project? That would be horrifying...

    Thiago Translantara

    He can do the DM thing, but only as a sort of temporary measure. Also, why'd you lose his talent as an attacker? Let's see what Jordi Roura's got planned. The big man's not untalented himself.
