ehhh hard to compare defensive players with offensive players. That's why it's near impossible to pick between Busquets or Iniesta in terms of who's been better this season. I'd say Alba is among the top 5 in overall consistency and continuity though. Scary to think that some people preferred...

Good shout-outs :thumbsup2:

Suarez is far more direct and effective in the final third in terms of pressuring defenders and having the necessary skill set to create/score goals. Neymar however tries to flaunt his skills and spends a lot of the time doing bullshit like dancing over the ball or trying unnecessarily flashy...

I might have mis-worded it when I posted the poll. Working with little to create success is one of the factors of a great manager that I mentioned, not the actual requirement for this poll. That's why despite his success, I'd say that Pep was not as good of a manager overall as Caparros or...

Are you kidding? that would be a dream come true

Pedro and Sanchez helped running around and pressing and helping greatly in defense. We needed the stamina and workrate to see out the final minutes without conceding.

Jaume Pujol (archbishop Tarragona): "Besides the language, I have something else in common with Pope Francis: we're both Messi fans." [tv3] hahahaha this is amazing.

After a first 20M bid was rejected, Barcelona are preparing a 25M bid for Roma centre back Marquinhos (18). [corriere dello sport] :D Sorry Pearl but this is one rumor that truly excites me!

Isco to Bayern would be really interesting especially with Pep there. Although personally I'd like him to go to Atletico (especially if they sell Falcao) because I can see them becoming European elites in the next few years. Serie A could be interesting for him since Milan and Juve are on the...

Your argument is unbelievably immature. It's not a goddamn sin to go to a different club to develop as a player and then return. This is real life, sometimes you have to compromise your loyalty to do what's best for you. After all his dream was to play professional football at Barcelona right...

I put him on here because tactics wise he is unmatched and due to all the success he had over his tenure. It was easier for him to reach success than it was for the others, but the heights and levels he reached were so high that I had to put him as an option. That being said I don't think he...

Oh grow up, the main priority of a footballer is to play football. Cesc was trying to get first team football more quickly and with more certainty so he moved to Arsenal. All the players love the club, but they wouldn't stay if they are talented yet not getting as many chances to play as they...

Yea I agree. His confidence level has significantly raised recently and that's bringing back some of his mojo. However he seems to have solved this by going into an attack most of the time thinking to assist or create rather than score because I haven't seen him shooting much at all recently...

It would have been Xavi who in the end convinced Villa not to leave in January. Club had asked him to be patient. Arsenal made bid. [pais] He's becoming more vocal on the team's behalf (in a good way as well) and is taking a good on and off pitch leadership role for the players by helping them...

La liga has had some amazing managers who have been able to work with very little to create amazing results and make teams play beautiful football. Over the last 10 years, which one do you think has been the best? Remember, this is based on overall managing ability. That means tactics, man...

Can't compare his performances with Messi or the Don because he does all the invisible work but from a defensive standpoint he has been by FAR our best performer this season. Very happy knowing that he will be with us for at least the next 10-12 years.

Not Alves. :lol:

Bleh. I've never been a fan of bright colors that stand out too much. Barcelona should go for the more contemporary European style and use a calmer, duller classy kit with a design that incorporates vintage style but with some modern tweaks in terms of fit and blend.

:lol: And you like Neymar why?

Bayern. On the surface they seem like an unbeatable dream team but a Barcelona team at it's best can unravel them and knock them down to size. Before this week tons of Bayern fans were singing for a Barca vs Bayern matchup to show that they are now top dog and that Barcelona is old news. Now, I...
