Don't know if anyone has been keeping tabs on Gai but apparently Manchester City has signed him. Just figured I'd bring it up for conversation sake ;)

When I heard that he decided to stay I was a bit annoyed. The guy claims he wants to play consistently, which he never will for us, so he can make appearances for Argentina and possibly the WC. He doesn't deserve to sit the bench yet isn't worthy of starting for us. He should of moved on...

Lolz, Cesc as a winger....now that'd be a sight. I love the kid but he's slooooooow. If it weren't for his superb dribbling and vision he'd get nowhere with the ball. Cesc moves the ball really well and could potentially be a good replacement for Xavi, maybe the best. However Cesc is very...

I'm not speaking about the club's results, I'm talking about his personal performances. He was actually lively the first few games he played, especially in his first appearance. He streaked down the wing and made a few very good crosses. I haven't seen him make a single good cross his last few...

I don't see how you can say Thiago will replace Xavi. Just watch them control the ball- they are completely different. Afellay can hold onto the ball, change positions/directions fluidly like Xavi and has short/long range vision. Xavi is more of a sit back and control the game type. When you've...

What else needs to be strengthened ROFL. Our midfield is looking better than ever with Afellay and Thiago is looking like pure class. Not to mention Mascherano is craving for playing time. Villa-Messi-Pedro is perfect and we got Bojan/Jeffren on the bench. Valdez is many more years to go. If...

Dzeko is exactly what City needed. He's tall, smart, technical and can hold up the ball which means Tevez wont have to do everything by himself anymore. Not to mention he's pretty quick for a tall dude. They can send off Adebyor to the second division where he belongs and Santa Cruz can finally...

Kompany has quickly become one of my top CB targets for Barca. I can't help admit that I've really enjoyed watching City this year. I like a lot of their players...especially now that they have Dzeko. Kompany has been a total BEAST and is the glue in that City defense. When he has a bad game the...

I'd love to watch Tevez score a hat trick vs Man. United.

Not really an excuse for his form. He's healthy and has been dreadful. I'd be afraid to start him as well if I was Pep. Hopefully he scores a nice goal or two in the Copa to get him on track. I agree however, watching him has been really frustrating- watching him fumble up that great pass from...

Lol sometimes I dont think I watch the same game as people. When Adriano came in for Alves against Malaga he played AWFUL. He made 2-3 passes directly to the other team and was not even under pressure. His first touch was very bad and lost the ball a few times in a tangle of legs. I guess his...

Adriano should play as the RB while Alves is hurt. I hope he plays better than against Malaga though b/c he was awful. He played much better his first few appearances.

Someone mentioned earlier in this thread, or another, that Afellay is a "keita-like" player. That seriously made me lol. Afellay has more creativity and vision in his right toe than Keita has in his entire body. Keita is a workhorse you unleash only against certain teams where it is imperitive...

Dzeko is perfect for your team. He's exactly what you need, this way you don't need to make Tevez basically the lone striker and can give him freedom to roam the pitch. The first thing you have to do is scrap Mancini. Way to conservative. He started three defensive midfielders against Arsenal...

anything beats the purple mercurials from last year. UGLY. I actually think those orange kicks will look good on the pitch while watching the game, just not as fantastic up close...but when do we see shoes that close during the game anyway? I also loved the blue ones Messi/Alves wore 2...

I thought that depending on how Bojan did this year would determine his future at the club...but then they went on and extended his contract to 2015 which threw me off. I like Bojan but he's really disappointed me this year after having a great end of last season...I hope he improves. As for...

I don't know how some of you can say he wont fit into the club? How does he not fit in but Adebyor and Santa Cruz do? Santa Cruz is getting old, injury prone and uninterested imo. He's gone and was a bad signing along with Adebyor who I've always found lazy and extremely overated. Most City...

Still has a lot to prove so don't get your panties in a bunch. I wouldn't say it was tremendous scouting, his appeal came from the WC much like Ozil. Manchester United just had the prestige to lure him in over the other interested clubs. He's slowly integrating the kid into the starting 11 imo...

It is on GolTV news and on the official site that Ibrahim is included in the squad for tomorrow along with Messi and Puyol.

Cesc knew Barca wanted him back and that he'd have a pretty easy path home., yet still signed a contract. Pastore has a much more unrealistic chance of coming to Barca so why not sign a contract with a club that obviously wants you to stay and is willing to pay you.
