    10 - Lionel Messi - v1

    Has anyone actually heard him speaking Catalan? I mean, he did study it in La Masia so he should be able to say a few words at least. Iniesta I've heard speaking Catalan but I guess to stay out of the political side of it he never ever speak the language in any interviews, not even Barça TV.

    Xavi Hernández

    I'd say he is the most accomplished player, I believe Iniesta will end up being considered the greatest Spanish footballer of all time, not only by Spaniards but universally (with the exception for Madridistas though, I mean they are still whining about Raul not playing in the NT).

    Bojan Krkić

    Bojan only has himself to blame, he was stubborn as hell and refused to listen to advise from his club. They tried to get him a loan deal twice, both in 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 but he just refused and then blamed Guardiola when he knew before hand his chances were few and far between. I think...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v1

    Well, what exactly are they supposed to write about him then? Believe me when I say that in Madrid the media is trying to pull rabbits out of a hat to find anything negative to write about him. Well, if they can't find anything, how can one expect the Barcelona based media to do that or the...

    Sandro Rosell

    An old idea just pushed around by different club presidents. The Champions league itself was created to please the big clubs. I think that it is just a matter of time before we see some kind of semi closed European super league for the rich and posh. La liga is already to small for Real and...

    Bojan Krkić

    It is all a paper deal, in the end Barcelona will have lent him out for two seasons paying 1 million euros to Roma, or was it 3? The 12 million never left the Italian club's bank account so Barcelona will only have to cover the difference. Man, I believed in Bojan, he had such great future...

    Neymar - v2

    I can see Xavi playing until 2020 perfectly fine, as long as his body holds up. He doesn't need speed nor power as long as Barcelona play the way they play now. I also think Iniesta will be a key player until at least 2020.

    Camp Nou

    I think the first thing is to wipe out the debt, as in 0. Then they should design a complete package, stadium, indoor arena, parking garage, offices, a hotel and commercial spaces (not a commercial center though ala Florentino). The land that Camp Nou sits on is around 14 ha in size, so the...

    Barca Forum Hall of Fame

    I go with Pierre Littbarski, he was a phenomenal dribbler and an immensely enjoyable footballer to watch. He could even give Iniesta a run for the money with his own "croqueta". Back in the eighties, I had him as my favorite next Crack for Barcelona, but it never happened :(

    Neymar - v2

    Paulista is now days considered a preseason warm up competition. I say it is comparable to the preseason friendlies played by European clubs. Regarding the Brazilian league, few people follow it outside of South America, it is very underrated in Europe, I'd say it is on par with any European...

    1 - Victor Valdes

    This post is full of baseless rant You see this from the wrong end of the problem, in Barcelona the keeper's main concern is not to control the ball but to distribute it. In fact, Valdes is one of the most important players in Barcelona regarding maintaining the possession. You can point to...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v1

    There were a number of players that scored huge numbers of goals during and right before and after the second world war, not just Josef Biscan. These were not competitive leagues at all and several players scored on average 1, 1,5 and 2 goals per game. Then there are some real goal monsters that...

    Pep Guardiola

    When it comes to these types of stories that pop up in the media, one always has to be aware of the circumstances surrounding these types of stories. What are Gallardos reasons for spilling these beans at this particular moment? Why does he use a Catalan radio station and not a Spanish one? Why...

    Records to beat - Leo Messi

    Barring any serious injury, I think it is almost a given that he will be the first player in la liga history to score 300+ goals. I also believe he will at some point reach the 100 goals mark in the UEFA Champions League. Then he might reach 50 goals in the Spanish Cup if he plays that...

    1 - Victor Valdes

    I think most people on this board have to narrow concept when it comes to goalkeepers and Barcelona. After all, this is the club that have struggled to find a decent GK for decades going all the way back to the departure of Miguel Reina who still ranks among the top 3 GK in the clubs history as...
