Arda Turan
People look at his beard and that boot incident (where nothing even actually happened :lol:) and label him as 'another one of Atleti's thugs'. In truth, however, there are probably far more instances of our players physically abusing Turan than him acting like a 'thug' to our team. Anyone...- DonAndres

Marco Verratti
Verratti's entire career. If I win, you change your name permanently to sissygirl. If I lose, you get to keep your username. That's a really tough question to answer. Namely because I'm fairly sure that Verratti will surely never have a career that reaches the caliber of Xavi/Pirlo. Xavi had...- DonAndres

Marco Verratti
That's a bit of a static positional view of our midfield. You can't pin Rakitic as the purely conservative midfielder while Iniesta was the attacking counterpart when there equally many if not more scenarios where Rakitic took on an attacking role. It can't be vice versa either as Rakitic was...- DonAndres

Care to place a wager Sissygirl? :lol: Hopefully your assuredness works out as it did last time, Verratti would be a wet dream.- DonAndres

Barça's Transfers and Rumors
Crazy amount of posts in here recently :lol: I'm a very open fan of Arda but at this point I don't think he's the ideal transfer to make. The age/price issues are very real. RM have been using a pretty damn smart transfer philosophy in the past 2 years, going for players under the age of 25... -
Matías Kranevitter
For a holding midfielder in the mould Atleti prefer, he looks seriously composed on the ball. Hope he succeeds there and can do well for the Argentina NT.- DonAndres

Eden Hazard
It's unfair to try and substitute Hazard for Neymar at Barca. Neymar fulfills the role required of him to absolute perfection based on our needs, Hazard simply isn't that type of player. What you can 'hypothesize' is how Hazard would do in a team that brings out the very best in him the way...- DonAndres

Gerard Deulofeu
Rakitic was the captain of Europa league winners Sevilla and very clearly one of the best midfielders in La Liga. He's always been rated and was heavily linked with all of the top 3 in la liga last season as well as Liverpool. Players like those, even if they play for teams that aren't widely...- DonAndres

Gerard Deulofeu
Jombi you're getting really carried away with your assessments of players. Fontas is a decent player, not even in the top 10 best CB's of la liga though and frankly nowhere close. Camacho is a pretty good DM and broke out well in 12/13 when Malaga had their best season under Pellegrini, but he's...- DonAndres

Sandro Ramirez
Sandro seems like the type who could make things work on loan. He just has that adaptability of play that allows him to work in whatever conditions. He's not the most technical striker but he still didn't look out of place in the complexities of the first team system and was able to keep scoring...- DonAndres

Paul Pogba
Laporta, Barto, whoever. It doesn't matter which candidate. 80-100M and 10-12M net wages is absurd.- DonAndres

The best game of the season
Routing minnows, while it can be entertaining, is never that emotionally stimulating. The Bayern game was very tough despite the scoreline and the way we fought for the victory was incredibly satisfying. The 2-5 against Athletic had some of the best collective football this season, a jizz-worthy... -
Barça's Transfers and Rumors
I'm sorry, but I don't believe that the players suddenly make some sort of subconscious agreement to cede possession and defend deep in the middle of an ongoing match. Alternatively, I also don't believe that Lucho says "let them have more of the ball" at HT or before matches. It's not... -
Samu Castillejo
Al Thani completely failed Malaga by letting him be sold, but really glad that he's gone to Villarreal. It should help mitigate the loss of Cheryshev. Now all they need is someone to replace Vietto when he goes to Atleti. I hope they stay strong and keep competing.- DonAndres

Gerardo "Tata" Martino
When you have a player like Banega (who does his fair share of pressing/defensive work), it's almost a given that you play him. It was visible that the left flank was lacking going forward because of the combo of Biglia/Di Maria, things were disjointed. The teamplay was close to isolating Messi...- DonAndres

Gerardo "Tata" Martino
Please grow a brain. He has the best squad in the entire tournament yet his team is hanging on by a thread in the closing minutes of both matches. It's not just that, the football was so congested and poor in the first half like 13/14 Barca and he readily chose the wrong players (Biglia??? not...- DonAndres

Ivan Rakitić
This video is awesome, Rakitic had a tremendous season in all aspects. I agree that he has come up big on the highest level fairly often this season. -2nd MOTM vs Bayern at home, assisted Messi -Awesome performance in the CL final, scored the crucial opener, could've easily had 2 assists...- DonAndres

EURO 2016 Qualifying
Very well early on when Croatia were actually in the game. Now they can't put 2 passes together collectively because every one of their peripheral players are frustratingly unintelligent footballers. The game bypasses Rakitic/Kovacic now because a majority of balls are flying over his head and...
