    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Masch and Mathieu only have a year or two left at Barca realistically. There has to be a succession plan in place. The plan is there but Barca have to pull off a big signing for a Laporte or Marquinhos. Someone who can be a starting centre back for the next 5-10 years beyond the next year or...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Portugal have an easy group for Penaldo to rack up his stats. Got a good chance for the golden boot. It's also a wide open tournament this year. Messi has to beast Copa America and Argentina have to win it. It doesn't matter how good Messi is though with bottle jobs like Higuain and Aguero in...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    He's going to have to win the double, the Copa America and have a great start to next season to have a chance now.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    The club need to realise this though before it's too late and stop missing out on all the emerging talent.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    The point is in this era we've remained successful because of a La Masia golden generation - a generation that's included arguably the worlds greatest ever footballer. Once that generation all need replacing then to stay successful we'll either need another La Masia golden generation...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Iba's never turned up for the later CL rounds all his career. Who could forget the Inter game where he stood like a statue in 2010 and he came off so Pique could go up front and offer more.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    The midfield is average and has been bailed out by MSN for 2 years. It takes Messi to drop deep and create now.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Real Madrid have been the biggest spenders in Europe for a decade which gets them by along with wildcards every year to CL semis and finals with unbelievable draws. They've won 1 La Liga title since Perez came back. The worry for Barca is they'll struggle like Madrid have but without the budget...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    I don't really rate Sterling but City are at least in the process of doing something about an ageing group of players, while we signed Arda Turan, tried to get Nolito and now want Ben Aarfa.

    Hatem Ben Arfa

    Can we sign Joaqin and Quaresma as well?

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    Chance after chance put on a plate for him, no City player anywhere near him most of the time, but didn't score and no Penaldo. Typical La Liga game at the Bernebau really but without the goals.

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    Wish we had a player like this breaking through.

    Hatem Ben Arfa

    I'd rather bring Deulefeu back than have another 30 something squad player on the books on a long contract.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Chelsea's got tons of talent bought up and are dominating youth football. United have De Gea, Martial and Rashford and much more money to spend than Barca to sort out defence and midfield. City are in a similar boat to Barca in replacing an old team but made a start with Sterling and De Bruyne...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Having Messi, Iniesta, Busquets, Puyol, Pedro, Xavi and Valdes come through the youth helped transform the club. Some star purchases have helped transform the team as well, like Ronaldino and Suarez. The point is, Barca may not be able to afford these star purchases in the future and won't have...

    Munir El Haddadi

    If it was anyone else bar Real we'd have rested 2 of MSN for the Atleti game after the internationals. We had a horrible 2 weeks of fixtures after the break and paid the price. Real went and lost to Wolfsburg after the Classico but we didn't have the luxury of playing a shitty team like that...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Which we've heard for the last 5 years and either gone out and signed Song after spending the summer chasing Thiago Silva, or gone out and signed Mathieu and Vermalen after chasing Marquinhos. 3 players who already are worth nothing to us in terms of sell on value and are out the team. It's...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Milan were complacent as well and thought they'd be fine with Maldini, Nesta, Cafu, Seedorf, Inzaghi and co going on forever without preparing for the succession. Barca have played for years on having the money to buy ready made stars to complement a La Masia golden genertion (as Milan did when...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    He wouldn't be free though would he? This is Barca so he'd get an extremely lucrative contract (more so because he's out of contract) and we'd give him a 5 year deal so we're stuck with him till he's 34 keeping Adriano company on the bench.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    We'll be the next Milan if we're not careful once our current first XI need replacing. All because we're fucking useless in the transfer market and we no longer have youth coming through or the big bucks to spend to bail us out with a Suarez or Neymar every couple of years. It'll be Adel...
