When David Luiz steps on the field you never know what kind of performance you're going to get- and for that reason alone I don't want him at Barca- he is not a solution.

Aguero is the most injury prone striker there is. Is there even one season in the last five that he was healthy for even half the season? No thank you. Suarez all day, but the team would function best with him in the middle and Messi on RW. IMO Reus could play in the center for us too...not sure...

Sergi Roberto has never showed anything to make me think he's special. What is he good at? Nothing, he is average at best at all aspects of the game. He offers us nothing imo. Montoya has been frightenly bad during the appearances he has had this season. I have to say though, he looked really...

It doesn't matter how good our offense is....we have a great one now, just like how we had a great one with Eto'o, Henry and Messi ( for ONE season, we had all new starters the next years and still dominated play, scored a ton of goals and won a CL ). What has changed however, is our defense is...

A keeper is a clear given- so I'm not counting that. A WC CB, or incredibly impressive young CB is required. Another rotation CB is not needed- we got plenty of those. We need someone to lead this defense or at least be a clear starter. Second, I want a defensive RB. Keep Adriano because he...

So I guess all our players, which the majority played under Pep, magically forgot how to play tiki taka? Do you think Tito told them "hey, stop doing what worked under Guardiola"? Whether Pep was out some of his last season or not, he was still the coach and the team doesn't suddenly forget how...

I'm glad you mentioned that- please do go back and watch 08-09...you'll see that teams defended us very differently and we had a lot more space. It started with just parking the bus, then moved onto what teams do to us now...we look like we only play possession football now...but its because...

Barcelona "tiki taka", as I will call it, is a thing of the past. People will deny it because they want to hold onto it- but it is the truth. Barcelona has been figured out, it's why weaker teams give us a hard time now when we used to crush them and it's why any decent side has a 50/50 chance...

Exactly. At the end of the season, the team was playing the same football it had been playing for years. Tata's fault? Doubt it.

Xavi to start being slowly weeded out next season, Iniesta to take on his role and Reus into midfield as Iniesta's position!

David Silva is very inconsistent, he always has been and like someone mentioned he's barely younger than Iniesta. Coutinho is 21. I remember my father pointing him out to me one of his first starts for Inter- he liked him immediately. I remember being unable to determine right away if he was...

Exactly. You reinforce the squad with a new GK (required regardless), world-class CB (Bartra a part of 4 CB), a defensive LB and even one midfielder...we are realistically dominating European football again. Four players is more than I'd want to bring here in one year...but we should of taken...

Benatia is good but he will be crazy expensive..there are plenty of good CBs who were like him before last season and just need to be given a chance. Bartra is one of them. Mangala is overrated like most of Porto's players. Luiz is absolutely not what we need. If those were my only options I'd...

One the best things ever.

I actually remember the Marquez-Pique partnership very well...and long story short it paled in comparison to Pique and Puyol. We need a fighter, someone that reads the game well. Mascherano does this but his positional awareness is terrible...although it's not his fault since he shouldnt be a...

Lol @ people bashing Cesc when he's been one of our best players this season and has worked incredibly hard on pitch. Xavi has been shit and Iniesta was out of form all season until 3 or so weeks ago.

Ramsey has shown multiple times that he is a fine player when healthy...I wouldnt say world class but he definitely is a well rounded midfielder.

Honestly, I can't disagree. We bought Villa and he AND Pedro had their best seasons for the club and we won the Champion's League. We didn't need Sanchez then. Cesc I could argue. I would like him brought into the team but trained AND used as a midfielder....which is what he is. Not forced into...

I think the best part about him is that he has the ability to use both feet and is willing to use both regularly. You don't see many players who are comfortable with both feet, I miss players like Ronaldo who could dribble flawlessly with both feet.

Doria is depressingly slow. No thank you.
