I don't know why but he strikes me as the kind of player who would do extremely well in big games but ok-ish in smaller games lol

Yea i now see that i made a few errors in the choices. should have switched out thiago with masch

:lol:

Yea i kind of forgot about Mascherano when i was making the poll....My bad lol. I put Thiago because he has a high football intelligence for his age and if he does progress and grow then he has the ability to be a tactical genius as well.

I agree he will leave eventually because there isn't much room for him as he gets older. He'll understand that as well.

No i think he said that right when Pep was rumored to be resigning at barcelona. Xavi said that he was still focusing on his career as a player and wasn't thinking about coaching yet and that he didn't even have a coaching diploma. He didn't dismiss it entirely for the future but as of now, he...

Barcelona are never going to let him go in the winter transfer window. In the 2nd half of the season he will be a vital player for the club. So far Alexis has been more of a luxury option but he's not going to see the pitch in a CL semifinal or anything like that. Hell i doubt Villa will even...

yea thats why i said that they have another OPTION in him. They should use him because he's been great this season

Xavi still has time to become a vocal leader. As Puyol loses more and more playing time and eventually retires, Xavi will take over and learn the captain's duties. He's got the tactics and knowledge down because he's a pure genius on and off the pitch.

Argentina's defense isn't all bad i mean Garay is solid as well as Zabaleta and they have another option in Demichelis. I think the midfield pivot of Gago+Mascherano works well for them. Also, i think Lamela might replace Di Maria soon if he keeps up this horrible form. And since Argentina...

He'd be a pretty damn good false 9 for Spain. Much better than Fabregas in that role. He can dribble amazingly, he's a great passer, good fiinisher as well, AND he has the creativity and cunningness to get past a defense and score/create goals.

lol "can't adapt to the physicality of the premier league"....El Guaje would RAPE the epl defenders. His time at barcelona has changed him into a much more complete and cunning attacker. He went from playing like a 1 dimensional poacher to a well rounded 3 dimensional attacker. Instead of just...

this. Although i hope messi will never have to deal with the transfer market in his career.

Guys take into consideration that not all of them are candidates to manage justbarcelona. I can see Cesc as manager for Arsenal maybe one day and Puyol/Busquets/Iniesta as managers for Spain. Abidal could manage some french club one day as well. Who knows, maybe there could be a twist and one of...

Then i'll pray it's Swansea :please:

Out of all of our players there are some who could make successful managers in the future. (not necessarily just at barcelona)

I agree with this. If you take a close look at Bayern's squad you would be VERY surprised that they haven't won the CL recently. Well the real problem is they are a group of individuals rather than a team. Sure Muller, Kroos, and Schweinsteiger might be decent in terms of putting the team over...

No offense to Verratti, but i doubt he will be in the spotlight for much of his career. He's definitely amazing and even compared to other young players today, he's very underrated. The problem is i doubt he will be recognized for most of his career and by then he'll possibly be known as an...

Yea i agree that even though city spend like crazy they aren't as stupid as Chelsea in terms of keeping managers and using some of that money wisely especially for youth products. But at the same time, i still doubt they will fire Mancini especially if he wins a trophy of some sort. Firing him...

Villa seems to be a lot better when combining with alba and iniesta if he is starting. If he subs in then his performance is somewhat lackluster and doesn't really even combine with them well. But the problem is that i like Cesc playing as he has been amazing this season. I hope Tito takes a...
