They will all be there...
They will all be there...
Andres DON Iniesta is the only player in football's history to be Man of the Match in a Champions League final, EURO final and World Cup final.
All big clubs out there playing youngsters during the preseason. Hope we take the same path and leave fringe players like Douglas, Mina, Vidal, Gomes at home.
Guys, so... I can't sleep, it's raining cats and dogs so I go through some forums, football-related, not football-related... and what do I come across? Zincubus/TitoTata praising Barcaforum and our ChatBoxes, using some past comments as arguments and claiming it's fun and all. Can we have him back, Sirs?
In the first 11, the only spot that I see as a question mark is Dembele at RW, with the team continuing most of the time in the 4-4-2. Semedo, Cillesson and Vermailen are excellent depth, though if the latter two leave, replacements must be acquired. Valverde does not value Digne, so an acquisition is needed to replace him. I hope Arthur and Linglet can be excellent depth, looking forward to seeing them both prove that. If Semedo continues his excellent integration and development so far, I think S. Roberto can provide excellent depth at up to 5 more positions in addition to RB.
I agree about the work-rate, which would require more rotations and substitutions. The higher work-rate would have to include playing more 4-3-3, with both Dembele and Continho up front to the sides of one of Messi or Suarez. With the current roster, playing 4-3-3 resting Messi or Suarez would require either Arthur or S. Roberto to prove they can start in midfield.
No roster additions are needed if:
Dembele can step up to show he deserves to be in the first 11,
if either Arthur or S. Roberto can show they deserve big minutes as midfield depth,
and if either Paco or Munir can step up this pre-season so that Valverde will trust them as depth behind Messi/Suarez.
To many Ifs for the roster spots 11 through 16 or 17, the key-depth, so I'd like to see William or equivalent added. In the deep-depth chart, lots of deficiencies or not-proven-yet, but no big deal.

Official squad.
Wow, that Official Squad for the U.S. Tour would need to overachieve to not be relegated in La Liga. Remove 13 of the best players from the Barca roster, you are not left with a very strong team. But strong and deep at both goalkeeper and RB.
This guy has a few points (on La Masia for example) while making some BS:

We need to rectify this certainly on the return flights and other flights moving forward:
