definitely. i absolutely hate the idea of neymar coming to barca. He's overrated, expensive as hell, and unnecessary. I would like Hummels but again he's Dortmund's captain so i don't see it happening There are tons of other options for the money such as Dede, ter Stegen, or as i said before...

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLAYER. I want Atletico to keep him since he's a phenomenal talent and La Liga needs more competition and less dominance from the big two. Loyalty is a prized asset in my opinion. Especially since i recently heard Arda Turan will most likely be leaving Atletico at the end of...

I love the player, hate the rumors. He should stay at Dortmund and become a legend there especially since he comes from their youth academy. They are growing into a european superpower anyway and who better to lead them than their beloved young star. He's a great passer and actually could fit...

I agree that the results and playing time for the star players does matter but you can't completely disregard every player on the team just to focus on the best ones. For all we know, Deulofeu could flop and Araujo could be our next big player. Also, the star players need to earn playing time...

I just hope he gets his first goal for the senior team ASAP. A lack of goalscoring confidence could really stunt his development and even though it's not a problem that he isn't scoring yet, i'd like him to get it out of the way early so that his transition is smooth.

Haha i agree. The way i like to describe Deulofeu is like a Cristiano Ronaldo who is fixing his faults at an earlier age and at a faster rate. Deulofeu has become FAR less of a ballhog in the past few months and has improved his attitude. However for Ronaldo it's taken years to improve those...

Obviously he's growing because up to this summer, he was barely passing at all. Now, he doesn't pass a LOT but he does pass to create scoring chances in the final 3rd. By the time he gets promoted and integrated into the first team even more he'll be fine.

One thing is for sure, I do not want to see Alexis being picked over any of them at all. I'd rather have Afellay than him.

Especially with Iniesta finding a home at left wing

I think it's because he's like the current posterchild La Masia graduate and he's touted as the next great homegrown midfielder. While there have been many successful and amazing homegrown defenders and attackers from La Masia, midfielders are where the most success stories lie. With...

Is it just me or has he bulked up quite a bit in this past year...

I missed the game....are there any highlight videos?

I doubt he will go but the club and the fans fear the possibility of him leaving now more than ever because he's on the brink of the first team which is a HUGE transition. I'm pretty sure thats why the rumours are getting out of hand. The contract thing is just an excuse.

Good take but i'd personally disagree with that. The whole "your rivals make you better thing" works in different scenarios. For boxing it definitely works because they go up against each other one on one and have to come out on top. That creates a personal rivalry and causes the person to...

Well said lol

I think Thiago is making excellent progress. If he could keep himself free of injuries he would be world class within a few years. He brings Ronaldinho's flamboyant/trickster style to Xavi's dictating/passing role. The best part is the combination works AND is extremely entertaining.

He looked a tad nervous in this game when he first came on. He lost possession cheaply a few times and one time i saw him 1v1 with a defender and he resorted to his old "tap the ball 3 yards ahead" strategy which ultimately ended up failing. However later he used his head more and showed good...

It was great seeing Deulofeu up there with the big boys. It's really remarkable that he was sharing the pitch with Iniesta, Messi, Fabregas, Busquets, etc. I expect him to play the next champions league fixture against Benfica. Although i hope he gets more than 10 minutes of playing time. He'll...

How is Xavi Quintilla doing? I know he's not on the b team but i heard he's a really good defender and leader. Plus he's only like 15-16 or something like that. Is he more of a left back or a center back? Cause i remember Puyol being able to play as both as well.

In theory, he doesn't have a spot on the barca first team because of all the players to compete with. However, Alexis and Pedro are in bad form and dont seem to be improving, Villa is aging, Afellay is on the fringes, and Tello and Cuenca are good but if Deulofeu keeps playing like this then he...
