I just don't under the comparison with Pedro and Alexis (well, besides competing for the same spot) Pedro is clearly not a winger but plays there because of Messi. Pedro is a squad player for Barca and was "elevated" to start more regularly only because of our lack of striker alternatives at the...

He could be wearing the #999 for all I care. The point was that he was bought intended to start BEFORE and not COMPETE with Pedro. The fact that Alexis plays less tell you something. Flashes of "brilliance" against a polish team that finished 8th in their league cannot change that. If Tello had...

The 20m offer for Alexis is just an unconfirmed rumor for now and Napoli has some money to splash around. Alexis showed some class in Serie A in Udinese with di Natale and he was becoming more prolific at scoring goals so at THAT POINT IN TIME he was seen as a reasonable purchase given our...

I can't understand how people can be satisfied with Alexis returns especially considering the MONEY spent on him ( match winning assists???? COME ON!!!) Two seasons at barca and we are seeing GLIMPSES of brilliance???? and then want to compare him to Pedro (no money spent). Alexis was bought as...

As probably noted already, the irony of him staying is that it only complicates the process of bringing in a new keeper because we're going to have to look for 2 new GK next season. Another option i was thinking of is that he could continue next season as the No 2 keeper. He only wants to leave...

Stats only tell part of the story. The problem with using stats from only one season is that players "especially unknowns" have up and down seasons other wise we could as well get one from La Masia. As i see it, Barca has a vacancy for a true potent CF as a real alternative to Messi. It usually...

Another option could be Mario Gomez as CF. Even though he has been reduced to Bayern's benches, to me he is still good enough. He's tall and has a good goal scoring sense. To me this is a more realistic option especially now since the Lewandowski to Bayern rumors are strong. Of course it would...

I think the point is that , IF and only IF you bring in someone like Lewandowski, it would be easier to put Messi on the wing because he is very mobile and has played there before. Actually i think we need another real CF or anyone whose job is to simply put the ball in the net as an alternative...

For those who couldn't tell. I just joking around with the rumours flying left and right. There was also a rumor that this was an end of an era for Barca. You know how crazy these rumors get:lol:

I'm curious. Sign Torres?!!!! to do what!!!! as a ball boy?!!! 20 million might be too steep for a ball boy don't you think???. as a CB???? hmmmmm he's 6ft and scores few goals so its possible???? Nah i think getting two 6" 5" trees might do a better job. What rumors will they think of next...

I think what is confusing people is comparing Pedro with Alexis which at a certain level we should not do. The fact is that Alexis was brought in as the "STARTING" forward while Pedro is really a sub striker( a squad player) so from the beginning expectations would be different for each player...

If you use the logic of him being a creator then he still won't suit Barca right now because we need strikers and hence even more reason to sell him. The focus would be more on Alexis than Pedro because it was intended that he would be the starting striker. What is going to happen next...

Really both Pedro and Alexis have been below par but the difference between the two is 26m euro. It is really an issue of value for money. Are we getting value for money with Alexis? i say no. I mean if we had to buy any other striker like Ibra, Falcao, Neymar, Cavani etc and they brought in...

That would be suprising because he is a forward and his role would be more of a finisher than a creator. Since he is deployed wide he would do some "creating" but in our system it was expected that he along with Messi and Villa would be the "finishers". Being new i didn't expect him initially to...

Alexis is a forward hence his role is to score goals. We paid 26 mil + euro for him to score goals. What was his role supposed to be to warm the bench?. He wears the 9 shirt intended for a striker that starts most of the time. I would accept that any new starting striker must be given time to...

Out:- Sanchez (has not done anything worth the money spent on him, can get money from sale, Tello does a better job ) Mascherano (only because of circumstances which is shameful, can get money for his sale) Villa ( 50/50 only if he wants to leave, also can get money from sale) Abidal (only if...

Pedro. Alexis is basically, after 2 seasons, a 26 mil+ euro flop while Pedro is still a developing striker for barca. To me, any argument to keep Alexis right now especially with Barca's striking problems would be baffling and in fact should be first person that should sold in the next transfer...

Most of the money should go to buying a CB. To be fair to Barca, the first choice CBs we wanted were either tied to clubs or just out of price range. Hence we continued with the Mascherano experiment and bought Song as the backup DM . It doesn't make sense wasting any money on a second rate...

i'm sorry but when you can have over 70% possession and look as impotent as barca did is unacceptable and has me so dissapointed as a fan. I mean Celtic did not even looked fazed. I'm going to say it because i saw it last season and now this season, Barca needs a Plan B. Our tiki taka style has...
