    Arsenal

    I cannot even muster up the energy to blame Giroud. Dismal, just dismal.

    Should Barca sign a defender this winter?

    Losing faith on the man slowly but steadily.

    Which forward would you prefer for Barca?

    I would like a tall one, because we have enough midgets. A goalscorer because we have enough forwards who are all skill and no end product. And somebody who can come from one of the wings because the middle is for Messi. That would absolutely complete our offense. Mind that I'm not answering...

    Defender for next season?

    Rami is excellent, when sitting deep and going 1 on 1 against forwards. We don't actually use this sort of CB. We need somebody comfortable staying in the middle with lots of space to cover and good with the passing.

    Should Barca sign a defender this winter?

    Well, no. Three years ago was time to groom a replacement. Now every day that goes by without one, is one more day of future defensive misery.

    Defender for next season?

    It will never be cheap simply because PSG is one of the only two sides in the world who doesn't need any money whatsoever and can happily keep any player benched before giving him to the competition.

    2014 WC Qualifiers - Europe

    Nah, I don't know about Germany, but France deserved the win.

    Alex Song

    So, tell me Phils... you seen Busquets playing against France? Are you still willing to allow Sergio anywhere near the CB spot?

    Should Barca sign a defender this winter?

    Well, just look at his record this season. It's happened a lot more than it happened last season, and he was injured quite a lot then. I think it's fair to say that he's bound to be strongly unreliable. And if Tito refuses to play Bartra even with every single other option out, I don't see...

    Should Barca sign a defender this winter?

    I don't think is that difficult... there's plenty excellent defenders in smaller sides who are better than, say, Song or Adriano out of place. Now, me, I want Bartra, and Muniesa, and even, why not, for Tito to give another chance to Fontàs... but let's not kid ourselves, Tito has 0 trust in...

    Should Barca sign a defender this winter?

    We should either star grooming and giving lots of minutes to one or two of the kids, or get a new defender, obviously. Expecting Puyol to defy the laws of nature is just ridiculous.

    Radamel Falcao

    We did test it. With one of the best, a guy named Ibra. Didn't work then. Just saying. Much as I love Falcao, our style is fit for a guy who drops back and starts passing, not for a true 9. We are more likely to go after Adrian than Falcao.

    Radamel Falcao

    We don't use a true 9. That's life for the Barcelona fan. You need to be half midfielder to be even a keeper here.

    Defender for next season?

    According to Xavi, November. December at the most. According to what I've read about liver transplants, maybe he'll play half an hour on an exhibition match a couple of years from now.

    Defender for next season?

    He's got more body weight than Adriano. My 14 year old sister has got more body weight than Adriano. My cat has got more body weight than Adriano.

    Defender for next season?

    I thought Bartra was excellent during preseason, myself.

    Martin Montoya

    Superb. I would use him instead of THIS SEASON's Alves every match.

    Defender for next season?

    Or, you know, Tito could give a chance to Bartra or even Fontàs, you know, the ones who have been literally the starting pair in the Spanish NT's youth sides for years.

    Who will win El CLasico?

    They can say anything they want. It would be nothing short of a miracle if it happened a couple of years from now, let alone November. Let's try to be real here. And it's no weird coincidence that Puyol spent last season going from injury to injury and now can't play a full match without getting...

    Who will win El CLasico?

    You know, here's part of the problem we have. Fans who not only believe there's a chance in hell Abidal is getting back, but you are even counting on it. Or in Puyol not spending what's left of his career injured. It's like talking to people who believes in fairies.
