I kind of feel bad for Mascherano. Pique, Mathieu, Vermaelen, Puyol, Bartra, Yaya, and even Song have all managed to score goals, while Mascherano is hitting the crossbar...

After all the talk of converting Pedro or Adama or Bartra to RB with all the reasoning in the world used to justify such moves the ultimate result was Roberto ended up as RB. What was once a preseason joke has now become reality. Roberto is a great right back.

Lucho wanted to bring him back but his return was blocked by Fifa due to our transfer ban. For this reason alone I don't see us being finished with him unless he has a Deulofeu level season with Villareal, which isn't very likely imo. He doesn't even need to show such huge improvement either...

I'm not even complaining about Gumbau being with the first team over Samper, but the thought of Gumbau making his La Liga debut for us is quite terrifying.

What do you propose the club do? Genuinely curious to know if we have other options.

This simply is not true. He hasn't been starter material for us but that doesn't mean he hasn't put in good performances for us over the past season.

ter Stegen is... bang average? Gotta love the goldfish memories some people have.

I quite like the way you post amico. It's like you are better at articulating my thoughts on a subject better than I am.

Not surprising. The Juvenil A promotions were from the same generation as Munir/Adama that tore the UYL to shreds and they look more promising than the horror show that was Edgar's defending last season. I personally put the highest stock in Rodri, but Quinti is very good as well.

Lee is only a few months away from being able to make his professional debut. Having some chemistry with his new teammates will do him more good than throwing him in training with Messi and just hoping he'll improve somehow.

We're not even struggling to sell ours, we're flat out refusing to. How do we refuse large money offers for our worst players like this?

At international level you could be right simply due to Valdes being unfortunate enough to be in the same generation as Saint Iker, but as far as club goes, I wouldn't go so far. Bravo wasn't anything spectacular at the Copa America. Sure, he won, but he wasn't the standout keeper, as many...

Cuz he's a B team player. He doesn't deserve to train with the first team anymore than anyone else who isn't.

Why is it that whenever I see Gumbau his mouth is hanging open and he looks like a twelve year old who just stumbled into a condom store?

The guy could be the biggest douche on the planet if he plays well for us and helps us win trophies.

No way does Bravo do as well as De Gea at United. I remember Bravo in his Sociedad days and it was a total horror show. He's improved tenfold since signing for Barca, but I'd be more inclined to suggest it's because of the team he's on, which ironically is the reason Sergei seems to be...

Why would your Arsenal buddy brag to you? Your team sold Alexis and won the treble. His team bought Alexis and got third in the prem (Congratulations!) and a round of 16 elimination from the CL.

Never said anything about Vermaelen. When we get out of this cursed transfer ban I'd be content to see both of them replaced. Even as CB Mathieu is not a good replacement for Mascherano and he's nowhere even close to Pique. Vermaelen had a single solid game but that's not any indication that...

The song wasn't even bad imo. I liked it. Not even trolling. Great stuff from Roberto btw. Konan put it quite nicely; he is what I would have liked to see from Montoya. Imagine the La Masia banners being waved if he actually develops into a class RB one day. :lol:

Are you implying that he should be rewarded for the goals he scored or are you trying to suggest that his goalscoring is something that we can consistently rely on throughout the season? His headers got us out of a few tough spots but that doesn't change the fact that as a defender he's quite a...
