Iniesta is allowed to roam in his wing role, making him very deadly. With the flank overloaded, width isn't a huge concern because of constantly switching the play between left and right flanks this prevents opposition from just crowding out players, and so Iniesta doesn't NEED to act as a true...

For his development, yes, going on loan would be the better option. However Barca is beginning to rely on him more and more. With Puyol being injured so much, I don't even consider him a reliable option to depend on due to the fact that his fitness is so sporadic. Masch is not a true CB and I'd...

.....Alba has been a far better defender than Alves this season (who was largely responsible for a lot of goals we've conceded since January) This game was horrible from Alba though. Plus that part at the end was very unprofessional on his part. He needs to control his temper and stop getting...

It'd be some brilliance from Dortmund to get him but the question is that will they actually push for him, and if they do, will the transfer actually amount? If so, he would fill the hole left by Gotze nicely. The problem I see would be adapting to German culture/German football, and having the...

Just out of curiousity, I'd be willing to retry the Iniesta on the wing experiment. Everyone says "oh it was pure BS and didn't work, etc." without a second thought based on our string of bad results from around january to march. If you examine it closely, the way the tactic works is by...

Can he actually dribble well in Europe though? I doubt he would do well considering his flamboyant yet inefficient style. He wouldn't free up space, he'd just get lost and isolated and end up losing possession.

+1000 No way we can singularly blame the defenders when the entire team was just trashed today. Bartra should be considered a mainstay in the team and should be played a lot for the rest of the season for experience.

I don't get how people expect Neymar's arrival to solve our problems. What would he have done against Bayern aside from get dispossessed with ease and not track back. I don't want the team to buy someone who can score hat tricks against the Mallorca's or Osasuna's of the world but get...

Bild had also made a false report a few days earlier that Santana decided to sign for Schalke so this rumor is likely to be BS as well. Gotze seems like he has his priorities straight and while he wants success, I doubt he would betray BVB and move to Bayern.

I dunno Jaden, Neymar would look pretty damn good in #47 don't you think? :lol:

Does this rumor have any validity? I mean Bayern are already stacked in midfield and striker positions. Plus, the main transfer rumors i've heard are for Lewandowski, Suarez, and Isco

Buying him is not that simple of a situation. The club has to be very cautious and assured in their desire for him because there are a lot of economical and sporting factors involved. He could be a huge waste of money, decrease our chances of investing in players we actually NEED, and get...

If United can seal the deal for Begovic, De Gea is a truly possible option. His girlfriend has already said something like De Gea would like Barcelona or wants a return to Spain (I forgot exactly what she said but it was something along those lines). He is more confident speaking his native...

Since there is a lack of suitable goalkeepers in the world, that is one position where overspending is likely the better option since a lot of cheaper ones are not exactly good. I'd rather splash out for De Gea who is actually great rather than Guaita who is very inconsistent. There are a lot...

Dinho is the sombrero man.

Thanks for the link :beer2:

Played the entire 90 minutes AND was crucial in us keeping the clean sheet. :worthy:

Abidal Song Thiago

Faster doesn't mean better. Tello will get easily shut down by Lahm and will probably resort to trying his old one-trick pony style of play. Lahm has unbelievable positioning and tackling ability so the only players in our squad that can outclass him are Messi and Iniesta (even then, with...
