    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Damn what happened to Darmian?

    A little bit too Liverpool heavy and not the "right" Chelsea players. Where are the goals going to come from?

    Deulofeu loaned to Sevilla

    No we're not. We have Munir who played far more minutes than Deu in preseason and had some really bright moments. I think Lucho believes in Munir also because he links up with the team really well. Hopefully Deu comes back a mature player from this loan spell. He will at least be playing in the...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Personally I'd like De Sciglio or Darmian to replace Dani for their youth (21 & 24), height, versatility (R/LB, CB) and their ability to go forward and get back to break up attacks. Darmian was amazing for Italy in the WC and his forward runs made it really hard for other teams to get forward...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Vermaelen is a quality defender *WHEN FIT*. I made a comment about Agger some pages back and maybe Vermaelen needs a change of league, climate & physios to get back to his A game. I'm happy with this transfer window... we have some quality players and I hope Lucho can find the best combination...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    BS :shit: People throw around the term "World Class" far too much on this forum. What does that even mean? Thiago Silva? The best defenders are ones that compliment their team's system and stay organized under pressure. I've said it before that at their peak even Baresi, Maldini, Puyol or "the...

    Pre-season friendlies 14/15

    My only complaint with the match was the positioning of S.Roberto & Iniesta during the buildup. When the CBs brought the ball out and passed to Busquets he turned and nearest midfielder was too far up the pitch leaving Busquets to play it back. Iniesta usually plays further up-field so it's less...

    Sergio Busquets inherits the legendary number 5 shirt

    Nobody better for it :worthy: Busquets was the best choice :yes:

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    If Agger is signed for 12 mil I will be satisfied and it will be a successful transfer window. Agger only has 1 flaw and that is he gets injured too often. But I'm hoping a new league, a new country with a better climate and a new club with new physios can keep him fit & strong. Stylistically...

    New Kits Thread

    Although I own this past season's Barcelona home jersey (had to get the last kit Puyol ever wore) I'm not going to be getting anymore with Qatar on our great colors. I've been seeing more and more reports of how Qatar enslaves poor people from around Asia/Africa to work in concentration camp...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    +1 Exactly. Our system has always relied on the team working as a unit; in Attack & DEFENSE. What we've lost the last 2 seasons is that cohesion once we lose possession. An example of good defense is not allowing situations of Ribery or Ronaldo 1v1 vs. Pique or Bartra. When that happens the team...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Looking at some of the other top clubs of Europe here are their CBs: Bayern Munich: Dante, Boateng, Badstuber (+Martinez just in case) BvB Dortmund: Hummels, Subotic, Sokratis Real Madrid: Ramos, Pepe, Varane (+Nacho just in case) They all have 3 CBs that rotate and another versatile player...

    Xavi Hernández

    Thank you for doing that for us! I'm so relieved that Xavi will be staying another season! :worthy::xavi: A renovation of the squad is necessary but without experienced veterans around the transition could be a disaster. A transition SHOULD HAVE taken place in defense while Puyol was still...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Based on last season's performances for me Bartra is the starter... whoever comes in will be competing with Pique. Pique has been shaky and he'll need to step it up and become a leader now more than ever. If Pique & Bartra are on form then we have nothing to worry about for our starting CBs. We...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Maybe Zubi wants a LB & CB? I hope this is why they're after Blind/Mathieu. The transfer window has been great so far so I remain hopeful.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Not every player can be as classy and professional as Henry & David Villa but we finally have another Total Forward! Suarez - Messi - Neymar .... WOW! Forget Mathieu Zubi! We'll have to replace him in a year again... Juan Jesus, Marcos Rojo, Vertonghen all CB/LBs... make it happen!

    3rd place match: Brasil - Netherlands 0-3

    Not that upset about Nederland getting eliminated since it was yet another snoozefest of a match from them. I definitely didn't enjoy their revival of Catenaccio throughout the tournament, totally un-Dutch. I'm torn... I strongly dislike Argentina but would like Messi to win the title and am...

    Semifinal: Netherlands - Argentina 0-0 (2-4 pk)

    Well the Oranje aren't playing Estonia or Andorra so I doubt v.Persie will be involved if he is on the pitch. I hope he is ill so Huntelaar gets a chance to prove he should to start. v.Persie is phenomenal for club but unless Oranje are playing minnows (all due respect) he is doubtful to play a...
