Everytime I've seen Bartra he's been pretty good. Not exceptional but always seems very capable. Playing Adriano ahead of him this season, especially in games where a win was inevitable was ridiculous

Kept things nice and simple. I don't know what to make of Koke, he's obviously got good ability but never seems to make much of an impression. Isco must be close to being a starter for the full team never mind just the squad. I prefer him as one of the three midfielders rather than a winger...

Also look at what Pep did with some of the players in that team. If Eusebio had managed the B team when pep took over theres absolutely no way Busquets and Pedro would be the players they are today.

I'm a type 1 diabetic. It shouldn't alter his lifestyle too much as a professional footballer. It will take him a bit to get used to the condition, but with the medical staff he should be fine. Before a game he'll need to drink something high in sugar and possibly at half time. I think asthma...

How about we wait until he's had a succession of games with the full squad before full judgment is made. Tello has made great leaps since last year and is still young and improving. When Gerard got the ball wide against Mallorca I can't remember one time where there was an option for him in the...

Ducde, really good to hear your opinions. As a newcastle fan over the years and especially now i've enjoyed the french NT. Cabaye always looks brilliant for us yet he seems to go missing for the NT, maybe he needs to be given the playmaker role. One of the best french talents coming through i've...

currently he is very frustrating but if he works hard, continues to improve, and smooth out some of the rough edges he is gonna be some player. sometimes he will run into people instead of playing the pass but for me he has the ability to see and play the correct pass. hopefully a couple of...

I really hope people just let him develop without saying he's world class and then rubbish. He's got great potential and with the right coaching is gonna be an amazing addition to the team

in many of the games we very rarely get attacked and when teams park the bus, having him and alves as the full backs to try and support the two wide forwards would be a great option i think, stretch the defence for the central midfielders to play balls through. for the remainder of the season i...

this would be allowed if they played for madrid

his header in the world cup semi final :worthy:

I was fortunate enught to be at the game against Real where Ibrahimovic scored the winner but Puyol was just incredible that night. His last ditch tackles and leaderships were amazing, plus his displays in either full back position are always top quality.

awesome player, looked a class apart from the rest of the villarreal players

plenty of time to make it, just needs to work hard and it will come

could not have put it better. Although Scholes has been the most gifted midfielder of English football in years he was never as good in his prime as Xavi and Iniesta are. English fans didn't even appreciate Scholes until recently. Probably because he could play tippy tappy football and not...

Another promising showing tonight. It's refreshing to hear people on this board talk about his negatives or what he needs to improve too. if he was english playing for an english team people would be saying he was world class tonight and needs to play every game, and then when he makes the same...

this kid is immensely talented, its a shame he has had such criticism because he has all of the raw talent to be brilliant, and at Barca a lot of youngsters come through when they are 20/21 so he has many years to keep improving.

very impressed, especially second half. would like to see a lot more of him, would trust him to play rb when alves doesn't play and keep puyol in the centre
