We don't need Messi to win a CL, don't even need Messi to win a Treble (Theoretically). Messi makes it so that we're perennial favorites every year in every competition but thats not what I meant when I said Neymar was brought in to replace Messi. I just meant Neymar will be the star that drives...

Lets not forget that once Messi starts declining Neymar will be entering his prime, which is the whole point of why he was bought to one day replace messi. He'll win us a CL or two then we'll either have another guy bought to replace him or someone from la masia will break through.

There is simply no place to hold all these players. Deulofeu, Adama, Halilovic all need lots of playing time in top flight football and we just don't have the space. If by selling these players we allow them to flourish and get better then we have to do it. We already have Rafinha who makes...

We also have to remember that most players don't become world class til they're 25+, we got constantly lucky with messi, iniesta and co. Let them go and flourish and if they really want to come back, if they really love this club, they'll be alba/pique type players and have good careers here.

He played pretty well, a very pedro-esque game. Kind of a weird thing, he can help create chances but he's more like a tool other players use rather than him doing it on his own. If Neymar or Suarez is injured I'd feel pretty safe with him there granted he'd probably miss more shots than them...

Better than everybody on the team except Alves/Bartra and BArtra didn't really play RB he played RCB.

Nah i mean the opposite, permenant deals = more playing time I just forgot to type the rest of my point :lol:

I think its the latter reason. On a loan especially to a semi-decent team, coaches want to build so they can improve their chances at europe or title glory, so there's no reason to play a brat from barca who doesnt even want to be there and is jumping ship ASAP.

Rafinha didn't really play on the left wing, the only time he was on the left side of the field was when he was in left midfield, where he scored......

I'm going off of what Lucho said while he was at Celta. And aside from a couple games he's been played exclusively as a CM since he's been with the first team. And I don't really think he has a 'natural position' while he's on the RW he moves around just like Messi does moving to the middle and...

And Rafinha isnt even a forward :lol: Or atleast he's not supposed to be, but Sergi Roberto is a RB now so who knows man.

:worthy: Best player on the pitch again, wonderful goal. First half played against full-strength man u and still played great.

Pedro to play horribly and secure his position on barca's bench :lol:

Alen is talented, and unlike Adama/Deulofeu he improved in his decision making even under a crappy coach so that gives me hope. Although with Samper and Sergi Roberto showing great stuff so far in pre season and Rafinha very much being the current 'next-in-line' I don't think he will really get...

But if the coach is Pep Guardiola a coach known for playing and developing young players, the offer becomes rather tempting. This is all assuming this rumor is actually true though :lol: If it is though I doubt he'll be here next season. His future here just doesn't seem that bright. No space...

The list gets shorter then but Sergi Roberto is still on it. Cm to Dm. Alves winger to RB. Henry CF to winger. Certainly not unheard of and for Samper the only difference would be his positional play he wouldn't actually be doing anything different since he's already creative and controls the...

Both iniesta and CEsc were also DMs, Rafinha was supposedly a CF and was great at headering. Pique was a CF, Sergi Roberto used to be a winger. List goes on :lol:

Well I was simply referring to Tata's season because I made the statement that Thiago leaving wasn't that bad. Not playing him while he was here was bad management and because of that he left, however his departure has been relatively inconsequential when considering the other factors that...

A reason Pep might want him say over a similar player like Deulofeu is that aside form his insane speed and dribbling. He can comfortably cut in and use his left unlike most classic right wingers which would make him more of a threat if developed properly.

Thiago was also injured for essentially the entirety of his first season at Bayern, he only recently got over his injury problems that plagued him his entire career. Having him here wasn't going to guarantee success especially when you consider that Tata was the coach and would play veterans...
