Adriano wouldn't be a sub for any of the other teams in La Liga competing for a top 10 spot so I don't see why or how he gets to be the first sub at fullback for the best club in the world.

At least Fabregas had a good first half of the season. Gumbau is probably the worst player I've seen in our midfield since at least before Riijkard.

Even beyond basic on field language. I talk with my teammates a ton without it being basic on field communication and I don't even see them every day. He supposedly came largely because of Messi but he can't speak to Messi during practice or on the plane because he doesn't have his interpreter...

Guess who's starting. Hint: It isn't Gumbau.

That's not nearly as important as being able to communicate with your team.

If wages really were a concern for most of our players we wouldn't have nearly the team we have now. The likes of Man City and Chelsea could pick us clean and laugh about it if it were really so easy. That's the kind of fear for small clubs. Leicester needs to worry about Jamie Vardy but we...

Do you mind elaborating on what you mean then? I'm not as in tune with La Masia as I'd like to be so this kind of thing interests me.

I would never be able to give a child of mine the same name that someone I know named their child. Those names wouldn't even be on the list.

That's not the board in this case, it's Lucho.

Didn't Tito field an almost entirely B and reserve team when he secured his group? I remember even Deulofeu got minutes in that one. And how do the rules determine who is a starter? The likes of Adriano, Bartra, Vermaelen, Munir, Samper, ter Stegen etc aren't starters but it'd be fairly...

Mathieu is injured, Adriano is probably going to be needed at RB with Alves needing rest and both Douglas and Roberto being injured, and there's literally no reason at all to play Alba. Then there's the fact that it's a pointless game anyways. Needless to say, Grimaldo isn't called up for...

He should be back in April.

If they're trying to extend his contract chances are he'll ultimately be renewed. It isn't the first time we've waited until the last second to renew a contract.

Promoted and then loaned, most likely.

I see him as being a better CB than Mascherano. Against Valencia a better defense would have done us well. The play against them wasn't so spectacular that you can say any defenders would have made the same poor decision.

Imagine if we had him against Valencia. A solid signing at CB is the final piece we need to make our team as good as it can be and I'm really hoping this guy will be that signing.

His horrid crossing is why he should consider making a different move. We all know the cross is coming, it's just a matter of keeping up when it does. If he were to cut with his left and try picking out a pass he'd create a lot more danger, although I recognize he's probably not at that level.

Everton lacking any real penetration. I know Gerard is great at getting that cross in but he'll be truly dangerous if he starts cutting in the other direction when he tries that dribble.

Or even a full game. Not even during that supposedly awful pre-season he had under Lucho did he play for a full half for us.
