Pep Guardiola
Well let's first say that only 3 teams (Chelsea, Atletico, maybe Real at times) in Europe can successfully park the bus at the moment anyway. That's also why I said total football is a FORMAT as in a system that can be adjusted to fit a style of play. Pep needs to learn that the total control...- DonAndres

Would you sell Cesc Fàbregas this summer?
I'd never give him the luxury of being a player we build around. He'll be one of our better weapons/squad players but never a dominating figure because his overall performance doesn't support or enhance our play as a team which is crucial for a CM at Barca. However selling him is equally... -
Sergi Roberto
The same Roberto who's only a month younger than Koke but with maybe 1/4 of the playing time. The same Roberto who has a whopping 0.3 key passes per 90 minutes in comparison to Koke's assist tally of 15 which is higher than Fabregas's. Roberto is a passenger player, it's very obvious to anyone...- DonAndres

Diego Simeone
:worthy: :worthy: :worthy: Simeone is a fucking legend, even gained the respect of an arrogant twat like Mourinho. 3 years ago when he took over they were 13th in the league. Now, not even with some massive influx of funds, he's gotten them 1st in the league and the CL final. It was this man...- DonAndres

Pep Guardiola
Pep's system isn't just a product of the talent of Barca's players. Even if he won't ever reach the same levels of success at Bayern with it, total football is a tactial FORMAT that can be adjusted in a lot of different ways to succeed if fitted correctly. Having Lewa off the bat improves the...- DonAndres

Barça's Transfers and Rumors
Well excuse the hyperbole but in principle, I'd definitely say that Rafinha has had massive progression at Celta. I won't deny that he was one of our better players while he was with the B team (one of our only good 3, alongside Alberto and Deulofeu). I also didn't mean to make it seem as if he... -
Penal Madrid
Ancelotti is a perfect fit at Real. He's not radical or revolutionary in his methods but he has the experience and logic to get his team to gel. Carlo has gotten the most out of his star-studded squad and made some innovative changes (implementing the 4-3-3 utilizing Di Maria, Ronaldo, and Bale... -
Pep Guardiola
There have been massive overreactions and overassumptions because of the loss but Pep was annihilated today, no other way of putting it. The disrespect he's getting is kind of surprising though, coming from cules. Of course, this is the opportunity for underground haters to rise up and voice...- DonAndres

Barça's Transfers and Rumors
In no way is he the ideal, but I think it's smarter to bring him than keep Tata. Realistically, Tata won't get to revolutionize the squad in his image/style at all. He'll probably just get a few more quality players for reinforcement and continue on with players like Xavi going against him... -
Barça's Transfers and Rumors
Rafinha was nothing special at all with the B team, the fact that one of his best assets was scoring headers from set pieces (!) shows that he went to Celta without that much quality. He's obviously not some future Ballon D'or prodigy now but still his development has been a complete turnaround... -
Barça's Transfers and Rumors
Lucho wouldn't be the ultimate solution, but I think the fact that he would gel with our squad and system makes things easier than having Tata who's the polar opposite. In quality of managers, Tata's not worse than Lucho. It's just that with Tata there comes a lot of the difficulty and baggage... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v3
I wouldn't normally indulge in premature Ballon D'or debates, but if CR wins La Decima (coupled with breaking Messi's record) then the odds are heavily against Leo. Messi's only opportunity after that is doing extremely well in the World Cup, we'd have to see Messi of 11/12 in that tournament... -

Champions League 2013/2014
Agree, I hate Chelsea more but I'd want them to succeed more then Rm. This gives pep a lot of questions to answer -

Francesc "Tito" Vilanova
This was him in the press conference before the RM game when Tito came up. No media could dare question Pep's attachment to Tito. Those two are as close friends as you could find, bonded since childhood and grew up together practically with the same purpose. Any 'shitstorm' would be classless by...- DonAndres

Aymeric Laporte
Well that twitter account is also notorious for being ultra-defensive when it comes to rumors of players leaving :p Honestly it's not a bad source. Using that source to confirm something as fact isn't going to work out well but the rumors they report have foundation and show the "smoke behind...- DonAndres

Barça's Transfers and Rumors
I'd be open to Reus coming but it seems something that would require too much of our pursuit for something that has a low probability of occurring. If the dealings ran smoothly and all parties agree (including Alexis's side of leaving), then of course it's the logical route. However trying to... -

40m for our best defender AND midfielder is a crazy steal.- DonAndres
