  1. Barca8

    The best pure striker in the world.

    ...that is why we need him in BlauGrana! Workrate, part of the buildup play, can provide assists & a FINISHER! His price tag is ridiculous though. All jacked up for those Qatari/UAE clubs who have endless funds.

    Which players should FC Barcelona buy in the upcoming years and why?

    As far as our striker needs we should also come to terms that Messi isn't going to be moving out of the central position. I think it's way to late for that now and what he's achieved in the center. This makes players like Cavani, Falcao, Lewandowski out of the question. We'll have to go for...

    1 - Victor Valdes

    At this current time... yup ahead of Reina. Coming from someone who would watch Liverpool regularly when they had Alonso, Mascherano, Arbeloa, Aurelio and Torres, Reina always stuck out in a bad way. If you've ever thought Valdes has some really bad blunders or can't cover his near post then you...

    Transfers and Rumours - old thread

    If Tito actually said he already has CBs in the Hummels mold (Pique & Bartra) then he's right as these 3 are the same style of defender. They like to play with the ball at their feet, bring the ball out from the back, initiate attacks and use positioning over grit. Muniesa looked very promising...

    1 - Victor Valdes

    You can be happy and say "I told you so" when we concede even more goals with Reina. But I seriously hope not. It's annoying how management looks for previous Masia players but doesn't see how much they currently suck and why they let them go in the first place. There's a reason why Reina...

    HOLY CRAP ADIDAS HAS LOST IT! Sorry but those suck horribly!

    Great, we're already winning by not signing Reina. Hopefully now management will do the right thing and sign 2 CBs & a FW

    Yes you have to adapt and always continue to move forward but our playing style and philosophy will always remain. We have to look for players to fill in the roles, in this case playmaker. Like someone said in a few posts before, it's best we pick up Gundogan before everyone knows how good he...

    İlkay Gündoğan

    Yup, my thoughts exactly. Thiago is a midfielder in the Iniesta mold but I think management WANT him to be Xavi's replacement. If Thiago is allowed to play to his strengths he will be 10 times better. Gundogan is as close to a Xavi clone as we can get. At 22 he already displays the same...

    Francesc "Tito" Vilanova

    No chance man. Those were the bad old days. But Pep changed things....forever. There's no going back... I think the club climbed to new heights with the success we achieved the last few years. We're no longer just "trying" to compete with Madrid... Barcelona now consistently is looking to be...

    Mats or Thiago ?

    Out of the 2, I'd take Hummels over Silva. If we're going to spend 35 Mil on a CB then Hummels is the only investment we can see some return on... He can play for the next 10 years at the highest level while Silva only has a few more top level seasons (assumption here due to the many nagging...

    What one player would you spend most of the transfer budget on to improve Barcelona?

    I'm going to sound like a broken record but I don't care... More than half of our problems could have been solved by signing JAN VERTONGHEN of AJAX last summer. Ajax is our partner club... same philosophy, same style of play. If we have to go outside la Cantera then Ajax is where we should look...

    Crowds and the lack of support in Europe

    There is also a few other things to take into consideration about Camp Nou (been inside twice, not yet for a match unfortunately)... The acoustics are not the best because it is a very open bowl. Any very loud shouting, cheering, singing doesn't travel very well because of how airy the stadium...

    If Barca get a new coach, who should it be?

    De Boer... In order for us to stay true to our style and philosophy our managers have to be Catalan or Dutch. If anybody else watches the Eredivisie you'd know Ajax have been playing phenomenally under De Boer. They have all the qualities Barcelona do but without the world class talent. Even...
  15. Barca8

    Barcelona will use a Catalan based away kit next year.

    Does anyone know if its possible to take a jersey to a football shop and have the Sponsor removed? Man I am willing to pay to get "qatar airways" removed. Qatar Foundation fine... it's a Foundation, sounds respectable, the logo is pretty elegant. But come on f*cking airways? We're FC BARCELONA!

    Marco Reus

    Yeah I see your point. I think the mistake people make is watching a talented player vs. one that would fit our style of play. It all depends what direction Barcelona are going... we may never know what Alexis true potential is because I think like Pedro he's instructed to get the ball to...

    Jose Mourinho

    Is it just me or does it bring a great big smile on your face to see Mourinho suffering & sobbing? Kinda like this :mou: Farewell Dou(che)

    Marco Reus

    No I highly doubt they want to sell. Why would they? I'm just pointing out as Doobs said where our priorities lie. I don't think any logical Barca fan is crucifying any player of quality like David Villa, Pedro, or Dani who haven't been their best these last 2 seasons. Only our epic fails...

    Marco Reus

    Neymar: 120 lbs, 5'8 (5'9 with mohawk), Untried in Europe or against quality defenders but will sell shirts due to hype Price - 40+ Million VS Reus: 150-160 lbs, 5'11, a goal threat from wide or up front, one of the main reasons Dortmund are in the UCL final, probably will never sell as many...

    Sergio Ramos

    +1 He didn't earn all of those red cards in Mou's tenure. He's not a Barca quality player.
