Argentina will be desperate to win it because it's in Brazil and to stop them. The best chance of doing that will be to include Messi so there'll be pressure on him to go.

With Argentina qualifying for the Olympics next year in Brazil, there could be a fuss (like 2008) over whether Messi goes or not. Mascherano as well. On top of a Copa this year and next year. Brazil will want Neymar as well and probably for the three tournaments. Uruguay missed out so Suarez...

As another Liverpool fan i'd disagree. Sakho is generally very good on the ball but has an awkward style to him. His pass stats are very good and his composure is excellent. He can get caught now and again but I struggle to think of better centre backs in England (which isn't saying much)...

Imagine his motivation levels if he gets a 3 year deal! Not to mention him being 34/35 by the third season and already declining. One year with an option for a second year is enough. If an EPL club are stupid enough to offer him crazy money for 3 years then good luck to him. His agent can't...

Can they not just get Oscar Garcia?

He's a winner as well. He'll do anything to win and will happily sacrifice himself for the team as long as they win. Compare that to Penaldo who only cares about his own stats and accolades.

Absolutely magical performance. Struggled physically last season which cost him the Ballon D'or, but he's been the best player in the league all season by far even when Ronaldo was scoring a crazy amount of goals, but he's playing GOAT mode at the moment. He's made watching Barca enjoyable...

He must know he's not getting a three year deal but it's probably a haggling strategy to get a 2 year compromise. I'd only be looking at giving him a one year deal and that's only because we can't buy a right back in the summer. His agent is trying to play on that and get extra years because...

City's season probably hinges on the CL now so expect a performance from them in the first leg. Take a result back to Barcelona and we should finish them off at home.

And he missed the chance for a Penaldo.

Why would Barca want Reus next year? Where does he fit into the MSN dynamic?

Suarez and Alexis are similar. Suarez is better when both on form but Suarez does have a lot of bad days. I say that as a Liverpool fan who watched him every week. He was brilliant last season but he still had games where nothing came off for him. He used to be infuriating in front of goal but...

I'd play Messi every game more or less, and others like Suarez/Neymar/Iniesta for a majority, but rotation is good when done right. I think the late season lethargy of recent seasons has been a motivation issue as well, particularly last season. We need the players hungry for titles again...

Is he La Liga's top scorer now when you take away Penaldo's?

He scores near enough every league game and gets braces and hat-tricks. Unless he gets injured and misses a few he's scoring at least 50 this season. Even if most of them are penalties and tap ins. If Barca had a similar number of pens then Messi would have the chance to break 50 himself but I...

Ronaldo will easily get 50 league goals.

Next 12 months: Goalkeeper: Bravo Mats Right back: Montoya, Adriano, Douglas, possibly Alves Centre back: Pique, Masch, Matheiu, Barta, Vermalen Left back: Alba, Adriano Holding midfield: Busquets, Masch, Samper CM: Rakitic, Xavi, Roberto AM: Iniesta, Rafinha, maybe Suarez. Forwards: Messi...

We may need him next season with transfer ban. Still got a lot to prove to make it here beyond that as Samper and Rafinha are better prospects and a midfielder will be splashed out on in 2016.

If developed well here and has more luck with injuries he could amount to more than his brother who seems to have an injury curse. We need youngsters to step up now with the transfer ban.

De Boer, Emery, Conte, Koeman, Wenger, Pellegrini. One of these could work. Won't happen but even Benitez in the short term to sort the defence and midfield could work. We know who the players are going to be next season, we just need someone sharp tactically to get the best out of them.
