    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    We need a mix of the 3 in the short term to boost the squad and in the medium term to start replacing all the 30+ players. I'd class Ter Stegen as category 1 on that list which means we should be doing all we can to keep him. Not sell him so we can continue to play a 33 year old who is not...

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    And 6 years ago he was 30 and one of the top keepers around winning the treble with Inter. Then he declined after that. Portuguese league is a doddle for Benfica most weeks.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    He's been bad since the CL restarted which is the key point of the season. He was poor in the Arsenal games but came good in the second leg with a good goal after being terrible in the game. It was Messi's goals in the first leg that effectively won the tie. He's been like Penaldo really in...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Another year of waste for La Masia while the first team can't even fill a bench.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Neymar and Suarez have been average all 2016 so far. Messi is carrying the attack and the midfield going forward. Penaldo probably has the edge unfortunately for a few goals against a bottom half German team in Madrid and a late Classico winner where Barca had just stopped playing, whereas...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Atleti did it perfectly at the Calderon and Barca had no answer. We need a more creative midfielder if we want to make best use of MSN as an attack. The difference last year was we still had Xavi and Iniesta hit top form for the run-in. Now Xavi is gone, Iniesta is older and getting less...

    Iker Casillas

    De Bruyne, Lukaku.

    That would take foresight.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    But we haven't got a squad, we haven't even got enough good players to fill a bench. We're skint because we waste too much money on transfers and wages for sub-standard players and rarely make much back on sales. We should be closer to Real Madrid for income as well.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    I dread to think what kind of team we'll have by the time the new stadium is finished. A 35 year old Messi carrying it if he's not sold to raise funds. We'll never learn in the transfer market and we'll be waiting in vain for the next La Masia golden generation to soften our ineptness at...

    The money wasted on Arda should have gone on a younger midfielder.

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    Mats could be our number 1 for a decade and is perfect for Barca with his style. We can't afford to lose him IMO, otherwise we'll be paying a fortune for a keeper a couple of years down the line when we need to replace other players in an ageing squad while financing a new stadium. It's the...

    Andrés Iniesta

    His end product has gone. You hardly see him play a killer pass anymore and has scored 1 goal all season and didn't score at all in the league last year. The burden is falling on Messi to create.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    It looks like we're at the stage where we need him to carry the team and that's why we went out to Atleti and blew an 11 point lead in a few games. If he gets shut down, or has a few quiet games, then Barca are shut down. It happened in the first half yesterday where he couldn't get on the ball...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    It doesn't matter him missing a few because Messi keeps putting them on a plate for him. If a game is really tight though if he gets a chance he needs to put it in the net. His touch and general play is amateurish lately.

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    This is the thing. He's not playing particularly badly per se but he's not offering more for a while now than Pedro or Sanchez would and we need a player like that to rotate with him. For the money he's going to get with a new contract we should be seeing a regular matchwinner. Not Christian Tello.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Our midfield is basically Messi. Our attack is Suarez. It's what's caused the team to disintegrate in the key weeks of April. It's Argentina syndrome.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Awful again. Messi's giving him all these chances on a plate but he's playing like a pub player with his touch and even some of his finishing and brainless offsides.

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    He's playing okay but that's not enough.

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    Let him play the league next year. We need a younger average age and he's quality. We can't afford to lose him as Bravo could decline at any time at his age and then we won't be able to afford Courtois or whoever.
