Given the price tag of TS, i begin to prefer David Luiz. And we would need two more CBs, since Masc may be needed in the midfield next season.

Ini, Xavi, Cesc, Busi, Song and Masc for 3 spots in the midfield looks healthy to me. On the other hand, Bayern midfield will be a battle, maybe not in a good way.

Man, I used to wish for Pep to be successful with Bayern. I don't anymore.

@Ursegor: I think you might have gone a little out of the way to make sure that people wouldn't put Pep in the pedestal - that included being selective in your arguments which really made us tired. Just a reminder that in the world of football, coaches get paid mils of $$ to work their ass off...

This guy is a born leader and destined to play the main role. He is not able to do it at Barca NOW, maybe he will do it somewhere else. Like it or not, I think it's better for him to leave. Not good at all for us of course, $18m is a rob.

Barca are preparing $20m bid for Marquinhos, according to my local newspaper (quoted MD). Can anyone find a source??

I agree. Luck played its huge part, but the ball in Pedro's is a bit harder to control. Anyway, cheers for him.

I think both Messi and Cesc play best when they have a real 9 like Torres/Soldado upfront (no.10 position), but if it means to bring out the best of Cesc, maybe Messi playing Soldado's position today is not a bad idea, as Messi can be a god whichever position he plays. It seems to me though...

That strike. It is now Pedro 1 - Neymar 1

That part is where my opinion varies, and like what Onoma...said, atm we should focus our budget on CB position. Put it simple like that, when we need to pay our immediate debts (i.e. Buying CBs), we can't afford to spend largely for a risky investment, however profitable it promises. I think...

I don't disregard potential either. Just that you are talking about VV as if he is the broken link in the system that needed to be replaced desperately. It's rather the opposite - that part is WORKING FINE, so why the urgency to jinx it? Should all be worked up for some petty $$, and we also...

What is all these Valdes hatred and Ter Stegen loves? I have a weird feeling that this preference is being echoed again and again so that many would come to believe that Ter Stegen is actually better than Valdes. The young lad is unproven. And what quality does he have that our VV doesn't...

"The man in mask" at Camp Nou? Why not?

I don't think that's how scouting is like. Or is it? And yes, Belgium is my favourite dark-horse for the next WC

And what a head-scratching problem Tito Villanova is

Villa and Pedro. Not Cesc.

+1. I get tired of watching Pedro physically abused by opponent players. With all respect to his contribution over the past few years and his work ethics, I'd rather see Pedro out than either Villa or Sanchez

Bayern has really become an attraction for talents with Pep and consider his style, he will probably give opportunity to talented youngsters the likes of Gotze - at the cost of Robben maybe

Indeed, i see Barca play with no tactic at all. Should have found some way to lock the Robbery wingers, and play more defensively. Messi cound have been sidelined for complete recovery. Zero pressing power, zero goal.

Terrible loss today! Just like the last match at San siro, only worse! Some changes are really needed next season!
