    Arsenal

    What we actually need is a Diaby who will actually play two straight matches without breaking.

    The backline a problem?

    You know, now that we have proper defenders back, I'm starting to change my mind: Bartra looks solid enough, nothing like what Fontàs did last season, and it kinda looks like Tito will play him regularly once he's back, maybe even surpassing Mascherano in the pecking order. Also, there's Muniesa...

    Marc Bartra

    Just when I was thinking: "Great, finally four fit CB's at the same time!"

    Alex Song

    Why sign one of the best box - to - box and then use him for anything but that? He's not a static 4 like Busquets, let alone a CB. His place is clearly up in there, attacking, not defending. Sad thing is that non-Arsenal fans will never see the actual Song, playing in his actual spot.

    The backline a problem?

    That's not necessarily true. If me, in the awful shape I am, tried to play with more intensity that my body allows, I would end up breaking all sort of bones while believing myself more elastic than I actually am. When he was 26 he could shrug off broken limbs like nothing, but now it's taking...

    The backline a problem?

    Puyol is half gone. I knew that before the season started. I know he's not coming back to full form or a long streak of matches before he gets injured again, and I don't need to see the future to realize that. That was one ridiculously easy problem to foresee, not bad luck. Then you have Song...

    The backline a problem?

    I'm always puzzled about all the people saying that he's as good as Puyol... and then i realize that a lot of fans only see his (excellent) sliding tackles, and can't see his problems with everything else, because it's hard to see if player's positioning or marking is good or bad unless you pay...

    Radamel Falcao

    At this point, a winger with a bit more muscle (i.e. not Villa, Tello or Pedro) and goal-scoring ability and willingness to get into the box (i.e. Not Alexis) could make for a better, improved plan A. You know, a younger Henry.

    Arsenal

    It was a wrongly awarded peno anyway. Justice was made. The real problem is that, for some reason, we can't stop giving away our leads. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Diaby is the key element lacking in this squad. Wenger needs to buy a replacement, particularly since Diaby is so injury...

    Fernando Llorente

    Could he even play in the wing? 'Cause I doubt we are getting rid of Messi as a false 9 for him.

    The backline a problem?

    Not gonna happen in January, frankly.

    The backline a problem?

    Not like we had many options there, Celtic's got plenty of tall guys, we had, what? Bartra and Song? It's not just Alba being outmuscled, everyone else was.

    Arsenal

    Meh. Par for the course. Every year we have a month or two like this.

    Arsenal

    Now, now, no need for that sort of language. Kids may be reading this.

    Alex Song

    He would be better used as an AM adding attacking presence than as a defensive player. Don't know what Tito was thinking.

    Alex Song

    It takes a while to get used to change gears and play in a completely different position. Song is a box-to-box, a post that doesn't exist in Barcelona.

    Radamel Falcao

    Meh. That's Abramovic for you. He's got an endless pocket. Where all that money is coming from, that's something better not thinking about.

    Martin Montoya

    Not really the same... Grimaldo is succeeding now in the second division, against many clubs who have been recently in the first... Bojan and GDS were pulled too soon from either youth sides or fourth tier division.

    Martin Montoya

    Grimaldo is right now almost the equal of Alba... at 17. Alba is the one who need to start worrying.

    Marc Bartra

    Allow me to translate that: "I finally caved and admitted that he was the only actual option left."
