Don't really like the idea of a 4-2-3-1. It makes it seem like we'll be playing with a loan striker, which will never happen...not with this team. Playing with a loan striker is actually really, really stupid since we're playing against a bus half the time.... If we have 70 percent possession...

He's wanted to leave since last season and they promised him he'd be allowed too. When he has played for them so far he's put in 100 percent, like he always has. Maybe since the deal was good as done Barca didn't want to risk him getting hurt? Don't blast a guy that has always given 100 percent...

I remember so many people bashing Maxwell in the begining of last season and even saying he still wasn't good enough during the summer. This amuses me =D

Didn't think I'd have to spell it out for you but here I go... I never said all 3 would get hurt, merely ONE getting injured makes a huge difference. If Carceres isn't in the squad and for example, Milito gets hurts, Pique and Puyol need to start every game. Given we are in multiple cups, they...

There is no proof that Caceres is staying which is why I didn't mention him. If Pep really wanted him to stay don't you think he would of said something by now? I'm pretty sure on the official site a while back it mentioned it was in the plans to loan out all the players who had been loaned out...

That's an interesting view. So we sold Chyg and Toure, and let Marquez go. So we're short two CBs and a DM and you think we dont need to sign anyone? Interesting indeed. Perhaps we'll play all season with only Pique/Puyol/Milito rotating. We could rotate Abidal into middle too..I guess this...

What most of you are not seeing is the simple reality that if Masch came here Sergio would get benched. Pep doesn't want to bench him, seeing to as he's a young and rising star and a local. Mascherano wont come b/c he doesn't deserve to sit the bench. Economically....sell Yaya for 27 and get...

I remember two games where in one he had 3 assists and the other 2 assists, both playing/attacking from the LW. He only had a couple of goals playing there but he didn't really play much (long time in between games) until the end of the season.

Quote from my earlier post- "However he still has all the potential in the world to play as a Left Winger imo. If anyone paid attention last year most of his best games, loaded with assists, came from him attacking from the left. " I don't have a clue why you think Bojan can't play as a LW...

His biggest weaknesses are he tends to turn his back to attackers when 1 vs 1 and of course his rash decision making. Rash decision making is something that is usually very easy to work on, especially given he was only 21 when making those mistakes in the first place. His decent positioning...

I also found it funny how some said they prefer him to Ibra hands down, then he has one bad game and now he's gonna be a failure lolz He's still only turning 20 this month, just b/c every youth out of our academy isn't an instant player of the decade like Messi doesn't mean they can't develop...

Pirlo's been overated for a few seasons now and this is coming from someone who watches the AC Milan game every weekend b/c I'm a huge Pato fan. He's been almost as useless as the other elders in the midfield.

I only got to follow Benfica a few times last season and each time I was impressed by David Luiz. I saw Brasil play the USA today in New Jersey and David Luiz was FANTASTIC. Yes I know it was a friendly but some of the things he did like controlling the ball, taking the ball down in the air...

Keita is a decent player and thats it. He has no extraordinary skill what so ever. He isn't that great going forward, with the occasional decent ball and isn't that great at positioning either. He's ok defensively and isn't the best at passing quickly or distributing the ball under pressure...

After the shit Cesc pulled this summer he doesn't deserve a single digit number, let alone his beloved number 4. If he ends up here next season or the next he should have to start from the bottom of the peking order, he earned it.

I also see JDS as being more of replacement for Xavi than Thiago. Thiago would be more of an AM, like Iniesta (played at his best position). Thiago is offensive minded with way too much flair to play in a Xavi role.

Great player, one of the top midfielders in the world. However not the best.

I remember arguing with people about Caceres being better than Chygrynsky and I was literally hung infront of the masses. The thing is with Caceres is he has some great qualities. He's great at clearing, pretty strong and is very pacey. His biggest flaws are maturity, and I mean that in making...

I didn't catch the last game but saw the highlights (the online streams I found were horrible). I didn't see Thiago in the starting line-up or substituions on the official site. Is there a reason why he didn't play or is he hurt? I'd figure JDS and Thiago would be featured in every single game...

I did watch the World Cup. I saw a severely subpar Spanish side considering how unbelievable their team was. Every single player on the team is a superstar and I wasn't impressed all that much. I wanted Brasil to win, given I'm Brasilian but Spain was my obvious second choice since I loved all...
