    1 - Victor Valdes

    Lloris? Available? He just joined Spurs this year and they are definitely not looking to sell because they have no backup.

    I hope the very least it does is get the board thinking about it

    Andrés Iniesta

    Iniesta's dribbling and close control is perfect for tight spaces and he has displayed this many times. He draws the defenders to the corner, beats them, and then plays a pass into the box for a player to either score or create a goal. Also, Messi's dribbling is more direct and running towards...

    Cristian Tello

    Adriano is really versatile and provides good squad depth. Why is it that when we finally have an abundance of talented fullbacks, you want to get rid of one? I want Adriano to stay for rotation and in case of an injury crisis.

    Which forward should leave in the summer?

    He isn't horrible off the ball. He just doesn't have an overhyped reputation for that sort of thing like Alexis does (seriously i rarely see him do anything special in terms of dragging defenders away from the middle). Tello stretches the play very well as a winger and the defenders are weary of...

    Which forward should leave in the summer?

    Its not just goals. Tello is insanely fast, tricky, an adept dribbler, and has a great shot. He is somewhat one dimensional and not creative but it's not like his playing style requires him to be. All Alexis has is a good workrate and stamina but nothing else. Tello provides something different...

    Which forward should leave in the summer?

    Tello is very useful for his speed and strong finishing. Great game changer if we need one. Cuenca seems like an insanely icy nerved player with skill and a great footballing brain. If/when Iniesta moves back to midfield, Cuenca could do a great job taking over as the playmaker on the wings...

    +1 except for the Guaita bit :lol:

    Andrés Iniesta

    Comparing Iniesta to Messi? :lol: Iniesta's dribbling skills are almost never meant to directly contribute to a goal. What he does is beat/draw in defenders to make space for his teammates to run into and set up an attack. He never tries to run directly at goal and score. He isn't Messi and you...

    Returned from Barca Vs Getafe

    Thank you for the great advice and I hope your trip was very enjoyable!

    Andrés Iniesta

    Xavi is definitely the more vital player I'd say (or at least he plays a more vital role) because he sets the tempo for our tiki taka and makes sure we keep possession (which is vital for both our attack and our defense). Iniesta is more of the fluid connection between the midfield and attack...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    I think it has to do with the man-marking and crowding not to mention his huge evolution in playing style over the years. Nowadays he does find space in counterattacks and his speed is clearly visible there. However it's almost impossible these days for him to find the space to score when he's...

    Transfers and Rumours - old thread

    Of course, the one CB we go for can't defend :lol:

    Andrés Iniesta

    Him on the left wing makes it very difficult for our wingers to get starting positions but if we rotate the squad well, I don't think it will be a serious problem. Here are some of my ideas on what will happen in the future: -Villa leaves. Sad to say, but it's likely true and I wish him luck...

    Isaac Cuenca

    Disagree, much of his best work this season is roaming on the left side with Alba overlapping. Obviously he drifts in and out of the wing, switching with Cesc a lot but you can't say that he is at all stifled on the wing. In midfield, he is more involved in buildup play. On the wing, he's more...

    Alex Song

    Ice in his veins but lead in his feet, although it's ok, it looks like he has been working pretty hard on his game.

    Which forward should leave in the summer?

    Nah he's too cheap we wouldn't get much money for him.

    Nice. My favorite liverpool players would have to be Coutinho, Suso, Suarez, and Stewart GOAT-ing ;)

    Which forward should leave in the summer?

    Really hard to pick so: Alexis-off form and doesn't provide anything really different or beneficial to the squad compared to the other wingers. Villa-likely will leave to get more playing time at a different club, maybe Valencia or Arsenal. I love him and I want him here, but I'd rather have...
