Ferguson did it countless times for United. Get good money for a player just as he's about to pass his peak and then replace him with someone else he can mould into a star. Beckham and Ronaldo for example. We didn't keep things fresh and neither did Spain.

You have to know when to sell a player at the right time. Barca could have got good money for Xavi a season or two ago but was unsellable. Alves should have been sold a year or two ago when his value was high, now he's finished.

Xavi's legs have gone and he's obsessed with keeping a style of play that a) teams have worked out how to play against with Spain and Barca both torn apart in big games now over the last 12-18 months and b) you can't play it when one of your midfielders legs have gone. So Xavi can no longer...

The market has inflated a lot in recent years as we'll find out trying to replace him. Where i'd give the board the benefit of the doubt is if Lucho has gone to them and said 'sell Fabregas I don't want him' but Mourinho did that with luiz and Mata and look at the fees Chelsea got.

The members have got us into this mess it's time they did something useful for a change.

How could this guy have been voted in? At least at other clubs the fans can't do anything about it when a crook takes over.

It was a mistake to sign him in the first place and Guardiola would have moved him on quickly. The board are clueless at buying players which is the problem. I'd ask why Cesc's value is so much lower than Vidal, Pogba, Koke, Mata etc. We should be looking for a profit on what we paid as the...

How often does Cesc disappear when it matters? His big game record for Barca is awful, he just doesn't turn up.

Xavi does have an ego and can sulk. He was threatening to retire from Spain after the Euros because Del Bosque subbed him off a couple of times and played him in a different role. Maybe next season should be his last (he doesn't need to stay till he's 36 where we really can't play him much)...

Time for him to go anyway. He's slowing down and the French league will suit him as you can be on auto pilot in that league and raise it for the CL.

He's like a bad penny. What a mess we've made of his transfers. Should have just sold him to Roma with an optional buy back on the off chance he really kicked on.

If we win this league it shouldn't change anything. The squads needs an overhaul and big changes in the dugout and boardroom. It's crazy that even the club had given up on the title.

A front three of Hazard, Neymar and Messi would have our board drooling but wouldn't blend and leave us more exposed defensively.

You mean the wonderful Socis who voted Rosell in to fuck the club up?

He dominates games Barca dominate. When it's a tough game he's nowhere.

The socis need to atone for their grave mistake and force an election.

The players need a kick up the arse. We don't need anther puppet who the players won't respect. The next two years are a write off anyway with this board so it's bout laying foundations for 2016 and building a new team.

I wouldn't even mind Van Gaal coming in and kicking some arse for a year or two to lay the foundations for Martinez or someone under a new board. He'd get us playing properly and wouldn't care about egos. The whole squad needs a huge overhaul. Wouldn't be bothered to see anyone bar Iniesta...

The whole set up of Barcelona is supposed to be to protect the club from being run by the likes of Rosell and the Socis have voted him in by a landslide to let him ruin it. And they kept Nunez in for 20 years. We may as well be a Qatari plaything, at least they might run the club properly with...

None of this could have happened if the Socis didn't vote Rosell in by a landslide giving him the mandate to do whatever he want, which just so happened to be destroying the legacy he was left and restricting future membership. Well done Socis.
