Villa = mejor que...

Mandzukic works his ass off defensively, so he can definitely play for Pep. Gomez will be gone. Lewandowski is a worker also, but I would think Pep would look for a more unconventional (false 9) type since he has a very similar player to Lewandowski already in Mandzukic. Suarez would be the...

I'd sell Song in a second in order to increase Thiago's participation/importance.

Yes.

Exactly. Either way, you're letting a talented player walk if he wants for an absolute bargain. Baffling. I seem to be very much in the minority, but I'd like to see Thiago groomed as a #4. I think he'd be unbelievable in that role over time. He'll be better as a deeper playmaker than he...

The decision has been left to Thiago by Barca (Rosell confirmed in his presser yesterday). They are not changing his contract. Rosell said Thiago's buyout is the opposite of what's been reported in that the clause would have risen to 90 million had he played the required matches. Since he did...

Manchester United insiders are saying Thiago and Ronaldo are their top two targets. Cesc is just a smoke screen, and Thiago has always been their #1. Thiago/Dad are very attracted because he would basically walk in and play major minutes in all matches from day one. Cleverley is the only...

I respect Alves for his talent and for what has accomplished at Barcelona. However, I'd be all for putting him on the market to the highest bidder. The club could easily fetch a significant fee for him, and it makes sense given his age and the fact La Masia has produced a replacement in...

Rakitskiy. We did Chyggy bad and must save face with Ukraine! Hey, he's got a left boot power shot.

I am a Pedro backer, but thought he played badly against Malaga. He looked the least sharp of anyone on the pitch. He lacks the precision that won him a first team and national team place. Pedro's the only player on the team besides Messi with a left foot shot. Hopefully Neymar is...

I'd just like to say a simple Merci, Eric. What an absolute GIANT. An example to all.

If Tito has made comments on the matter, you can bet they are grossly misinterpreted. As a coach, he would be very clear on which profile he requires in a position. There are precious few CBs who can play for Barcelona. Again, if Tito has commented in the manner suggested, he is telling...

Neymar will take over the #7 from Villa. Villa's sale is the next bit of official news we'll see.

Tito knows better than anyone what this team needs. The issue lies with Rosell and co. They do not have the skills to get exactly what the coaches ask of them or what the technical demands require (Zubi).

If Thiago goes and Cesc stays, wow. Cesc will be absolutely slaughtered. I think it'd be in Cesc's best interest to leave unless Tito manages a complete overhaul of his role in the team (IE, makes him a positionally disciplined CM). As things stand now, there's no way Cesc gets comfortable in...

Fernandinho to Man City hot off the presses.

He is quality, but he hasn't proven he can play with Messi. Alexis is best suited on the left for Barcelona (cutting on on by far his strongest foot- right). Neymar and Tello will dominate the left side now. Alexis has been a right winger for Chile and previously at club level, yes, but he...

I'd take Suarez in a second if available on the cheap.

Kompany, Marquinhos and David Luiz are apparently the CB targets. I don't see either Kompany or David Luiz leaving their current clubs. That leaves us with Marquinhos. He's clearly very talented, but my biggest issue is his real position. I think he's a classic Brazilian fullback in the...

Rumored interest. They need a manager first.
