Barça's Transfers and Rumors
Both have the same upside, bringing immense stability to the back line and being great on the ball. Laporte is better aerially but does commit errors occasionally that show his age (not monumental ones though). I'd give it to Bartra at the moment but do remember that he's almost 23 while Laporte... -

Premier League 2013/14
Wrongly called offside against Sterling, Suarez making some brilliant plays. This game is already 100000x more entertaining than City-Arsenal -
Premier League 2013/14
City's attack is so deadly, they're creating some pretty threatening chances vs Liverpool right now. -
Cesc Fàbregas
We definitely only need one mid who's game is defensively based (Busquets) but the others should have enough energy and workrate to press in defense. Iniesta and Cesc do a decent amount (they could do more), but Xavi is really lagging behind in that respect due to his advanced age.- DonAndres

Barça's Transfers and Rumors
I've said he's rated highly and a very great player, but I'm not sure what kind of playing time he'd see at Barca with several people ahead of him in the pecking order. If Mascherano leaves in the summer and Puyol retires, he'd get enough chances to play and develop but otherwise it's difficult... -
Premier League 2013/14
Great freekick goal from Eriksen, 1-0 for Tottenham, 1-1 just minutes later. -
10 - Lionel Messi - v3
Your conception of talent is wrong in the first place, thus why you choose to mock it so dismissively. Talent isn't some magical entity bestowed onto a baby at birth that makes them superior without reason. It's just a natural predisposition to succeed at specific things based on the way they... -
Julian Draxler
:p Don't get me wrong, he's a great prospect. I just don't really see what people mean when they say stuff like he'll be a Ballon D'or winner or Draxler>Gotze. He can prove me wrong but until then I can't say I'm convinced he's 'that' good.- DonAndres

10 - Lionel Messi - v3
That's about physical structure, which does play a factor certainly (disabilities, height, athleticism, etc.) but nowhere near as much as innate talent. Some people just have a natural tendency to learn things a certain way, approach the game with a specific style, any maneuver or play they make... -
Cesc Fàbregas
Cesc probably can't wait for Messi's return more than anyone else. Not only will our lead goalscorer give us an extra edge, Cesc will get to move back to his native position. Cesc+Messi+Neymar as a trio was absolutely wicked in creating attacking chances in quick moves and it is how Cesc was by...- DonAndres

Julian Draxler
I think he's a good player and has the potential to be among the top level of footballers, but he does seem to be overrated by some. I just can't think of any part of his game in which he shows something "special" enough to be a phenom. He's mainly based on pace and power which he uses well, yet...- DonAndres

Barça's Transfers and Rumors
Oier is trash. Masip is the direct next-in-line to take the Pinto role, but Ortola would be the best of all as a backup keeper. -
Barça's Transfers and Rumors
All signs point toward ter Stegen. Barca have said he's an option, everyone at Monchengladbach has pretty much accepted that he's leaving, and the timing is perfect. There's no way we can actually "expect" Reina to end up being our transfer, if he was it would be an idiotic blindside. If things... -

Barça's Transfers and Rumors
Zouma is overrated. Doria is more of a long term prospect. Balanta can make some sort of an immediate impact but would take a few months or more to fully acclimate to European football. Benatia is a very tough transfer option. Musacchio seems the most likely, a great reinforcement, and able to... -
Mehdi Benatia
CB's can switch between right and left, it's hardly a major alteration. If wingers can swap sides seamlessly when that changes their entire game, how is it hard for central defenders to do it when it changes nothing but the distance of a few yards and their strong passing/clearance side.- DonAndres
