    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    He'd been in really bad form at the end of 05/06 before the World Cup. He had an awful game in the CL final and it took Larsson coming on to save that game against 10 men. He took that form into the World Cup and never really got his 03-05 level back for Barca.

    Spanish Super Cup: Barca - Bilbao 1-1 (1-5 agg.)

    He didn't he just knew the players from the other day were exhausted but he didn't have Xavi or Turan to come in.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    I wouldn't have even played him yesterday. We got screwed over with the scheduling.

    Spanish Super Cup: Barca - Bilbao 1-1 (1-5 agg.)

    The consequences of having to play Tuesday/Friday, long flights and extra time. Come away with a narrow defeat and get an away goal or two and we can win the tie at home. The potential to concede 3 or 4 tonight is there again but no reason we can't score a couple.

    Pedro Rodriguez

    If Pedro has made up his mind to leave then it's best not to start him last night as we need to try other options for players who will be here when the season kicks off properly. He's back up to MSN who stayed fit last season so his game time was limited. He signed a contract in the summer when...

    24 - Thomas Vermaelen

    He hasn't played for 12 months. He'll need a few easier games to get his sharpness up.

    Adama Traore

    This is a good point. Bear in mind with our front three we don't need another starting forward at the moment but if Pedro goes there's no back up. Adama off the bench for 15 minutes could impact the game.

    Arda Turan

    It's selling Barca are particularly bad at. Sanchez and Cesc were worth more than we got in the market. Look what Madrid got for Ozil and Di Maria who they wanted out or the poor buying and selling for Ibra who was worth more than we got. We don't need to buy young players if La Masia is doing...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    He never won anything when he stole it off Messi and treble winner Ribery in 2013. I know Messi had his injury problems but he led Barca to 100 points and carried them to a CL semi (the Milan comeback, PSG).

    Should Rafinha be starting for Brazil then?

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Penaldo won a Ballon D'or because of a World Cup qualifier in November.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    I'm a Liverpool fan and said for years Suarez would be perfect for Barca next to Messi, but Coutinho isn't Barca standard at the moment. He might be a lot better than Rafinha but he's not good enough yet for the first XI. A possible successor to Iniesta in a couple of years.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Even when Penaldo starts whacking in hat-tricks every game from September to November you'd hope Messi has done enough for club and country already this year to win it. Certainly with a winning display on Saturday.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    1 pen in 5 games. What's going on? He should have enough for the ballon d'or for this year but up against Ronaldo in Spain he needs to be scoring every game for the awards.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Iniesta is 31 now. After next season he's 32 so next season could be his last as an automatic starter (or the one after) as Xavi probably was a season or two too long. If you've got Pogba, Rakitic and Iniesta rotating between 2 positions over 60 games then they can all start 40 (and if needs...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    We have a very good first XI now that doesn't need disrupting yet - transfer ban a blessing in disguise in that respect - and have already signed Alves' replacement. We need a bit more quality depth because La Masia has dried up. In an ideal world we'd have a 21-year-old Thiago to rotate with...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    I don't think so. Deulefeu is the best talent since Thiago and he's been sold now. Sandro and Munir have no chance at competing with the front 3 in the first team, to be fair nobody would but better talents could at least hope for similar minutes to Pedro and step in for an injury or suspension...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Yellow for kicking the ball after the whistle has gone is for time wasting. Argentina were desperate for a goal and he clearly wasn't time wasting.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    It was bad enough last time with Paraguay not winning a game, barely scoring a goal and making the final through penalty shootouts. The lack of extra time further encourages negative play. Hopefully the one next year in the US will be better with stronger referees,
