I'm glad he set the record straight.

I would love to see Santi back in Spain.

Thiago Silva's agent met on Sunday with PSG president to ask permission to join Barcelona but he was told the player is not for sale. [sport] We better get somebody decent like Agger at least.

Oliver is a beast. He's perfect for us.

I don't want to hear anymore about it from either side.

He had Tito's name all up in his mouth though. Tito had to respond to these accusations and set the record straight. Pep should keep his mouth shut and worry about his own team from now on.

Tito should have played a double-pivot against us them. Throw a very Del Bosque-like lineup out there and make it a war of attrition. We still might have lost but guaranteed it would have been by a goal or two. As for Song, I think he's been underutilized up to this point. He's much a better...

We could even use a double-pivot, which we should have used against a team like Bayern Munich. La Roja failed this summer trying 4-3-3 when the secret to their success was Busquets/Alonso. It's like having an extra defender out there. It does slow the game down a little bit and makes it more...

Inigo Martinez appeared to be better watching them both play @ the U21 Euros. I watched Inigo play all year and he's defensively sound, he's well aware of the game. He's decent through the air too. I would prefer Marquinhos. Just because PSG is leading the race for him doesn't mean the race is...

Tito did play Thiago and Cesc together, they just didn't link up that well for whatever reason. I do agree about Cesc being best used as an AM. We should try rotating Xavi with Song some this year. I think Song could thrive in that role actually, he would add the much-needed muscle to our...

I'd prefer Thiago Silva or Marquinhos. If not them, then Inigo Martinez. We will have to overpay to get Martinez though just like Real Madrid did to get Illarramendi .He's good and linked up well with Barta @ the U21 Euros. His buyout clause is the same as Illarramendi, so it would nearly cost...

Exactly.

He had plans for Thiago but purchased Cesc and basically played Cesc out of position for a whole year. Cesc looked much better under Tito than he did with Pep. I will admit Thiago took a back seat due to his injuries and the fact that Tito played Cesc more in the midfield than Pep did. If it's...

I'm glad Tito addressed it but that should be it. Let's get back to football!

Pep made it an issue publicly. I'm glad it was Tito to hit back and not Rosell.

You can tell Tito didn't even want to talk about it publicly.

Never again as a CB. Back on Song, he doesn't lose that ball very easily either. At the very least we need to give him a serious look and let him rotate with Xavi @ CM.

You're thinking like me, he's an incredible box-to-box player that is quick on the ball. He can add some muscle to our midfield. It would be unwise of us to only use him as Busquets' back-up.

Clearly, Tito values Cesc more than Thiago. Only Valdes started more games for Barcelona in La Liga than Cesc did. I'm fine with that. There was certain games during the first half of the season where it looked like Cesc was the best midfielder in the world.

Tito had to respond, he's the leader of the squad now and had to let his side of the story known now that Pep decided to go public and air out dirty laundry in public. Now that he addressed it, leave it alone.
