Definitely not the new messi. not buying into all the hype that he is a phenomenal prodigy of some sort. He's a big fish in a small pond right now and it'll take many more years of convincing to prove that he can even make it to the first team. Spanoudakis doesn't really remind me of Busquets...

Spain don't play pure tiki taka, they play more possession and buildup play oriented (i know it sounds the same but there is a difference). Barcelona play a different defensive style which incorporates the goalkeeper playing as the last man. They need him to be great at passing and confident at...

I did watch Chile vs Argentina (if you are talking about the most recent one) and i agree Alexis did look dangerous. That game wasn't really great though i have to say haha. It was mostly just both the midfields cancelling each other out. Although when there were attacking moments both sides...

Can the agent really influence Deulo's decision THAT much? I'm pretty sure he has rejected big money offers in the past as well and he knows how much Barcelona value him for the future. Especially considering the fact that he'll get a lot more playing time next season, i doubt he has any reason...

We have enough players to fit the bill while he develops. Honestly Iniesta is really going to occupy the left wing for the next few years along with Villa and Tello as secondary options. Pedro has already cemented his spot on the right wing for now (although he will rotate a bit with Deulo when...

Barcelona would not make the same move as any top club. The way Barcelona plays is so different and unique from every other club that you can't simply buy a great player off the market and stick him in and expect him to do good. Especially for goalkeepers. He has to be relatively young...

Not necessarily a striker. A versatile goalscorer. I mean we're certainly not going to have a tall, slow targetman out wide. We need a central/wide forward with speed who is capable of drifting in with attacking runs and is good with the ball at his feet. Deulofeu will fit this bill within a few...

Bayern representatives have said it, Press has said it, official announcements, Pep's agent, Barcelona staff/players, hell even Heynckes has said it. He's moving to Bayern. I know that we did transition very well but there is a feeling of nostalgia now that he has moved on to a different club...

This is a really bad week for Barcelona. -we drew against Malaga. -Alexis put in yet ANOTHER dismal performance to the point where it has been the last straw for many of the fans. -Pep joined Bayern which really made many of us open our eyes and realize that he is at another club now and will...

Beg to differ

Really bad timing and it'll be difficult to find a replacement. Although i have to say (since i'm not a HUGE valdes fan) that it'll be interesting to see Barcelona finally changing up a bit in the GK department. I just pray that whoever they get is great and an upgrade from Valdes.

Can't get Neuer, Stekelenburg isn't that great, and Casillas is out of the question. I'd say that Guaita would be alright and joining barca would make Del Bosque consider him for the NT. Although De Gea is my favorite option. Still very young and can play with the ball at his feet. Possession...

I see what you mean. growing up in the media age doesn't do him any favors either. He's a kid so he'll likely grow out of it but i hope he doesn't go down the wrong path. Yea i agree about promoting him. If he goes around scoring 4 goals per game he's always going to think he's a prodigy. A...

This is actually a very interesting topic to discuss (in my opinion at least) haha. The revenue problem in la liga has really created a big gap in the big two. And the way modern day business works, the gap could grow even bigger or actually disappear completely. Right now Atletico is the first...

Some of the players are very arrogant and many fans are too. Plus Bayern is kind of a more stiff/business oriented club. Players aren't very close and neither is the staff. I mean at Barca he was at home and everyone's like a family here. At Bayern that isn't exactly the case.

really? does he have an ego/attitude problem? I don't know that much about him except for seeing some highlight videos. It would suck if he did because that can really bring him down in the future.

If Neymar is here by the time Villa leaves, i suspect he'll get #7. That is, assuming Deulo doesn't get it first. But logically speaking a player can not demand a number especially at Barcelona. I remember when Hazard demanded to have the #10 shirt at whichever club he chose to go to but instead...

He's a great player he definitely shouldn't be benched. Maybe shouldn't start any vital legs (mainly because he isn't highest in the pecking order) but definitely should get a lot of substitute appearances. Plus his appearances as a sub change the rhythm of the game and he can draw defenders and...

:lol:

Yea and while we're at it why don't we pay him 400k a week and make him captain.
