I can't say I completely disagree with you here and if you notice, I said from a purely athletic, by which I meant performance on the pitch, perspective. I like Keita, but I have seldom seen him add anything special to the team on the pitch. I'm not calling for his transfer, but I wouldn't mind...

Pep is fond of his character, but I have never thought of Keita as more than an average player from a purely athletic perspective. I don't think it'll be a big loss if he leaves.

He's wanted by some clubs and there's a possibility of selling him in the coming transfer window since Pep won't be around. Any estimates on his value?

Keep Cuenca and give him more playing time next season. He can be instrumental. He can be far more valuable than Tello, who, by the way, should be sold if a good offer comes for him, unless we opt to play counterattacking football under Tito next season. I've liked this kid since his early days...

What are we going to do without him? He's a beast.

And he's making his direct runs more often to great effect. It's a cliche, but his touches are breathtaking.

MESSI!!! WHY U NO SCORE FIFTH!!? More that anything, that celebration for the fourth was a moment to savor. Such a beautiful gesture... That is what many people thought. It wouldn't surprise me to see that same writer praise Messi to the moon and claim he'd always known Messi was destined...

I only read the last dozen posts or so, let me get this right: do some of you actually want Higuain in Barca?

Thanks Ryan, good job.

Will be at the end of the coming season. So we can get him for free then if the club tries to agree with him beforehand, or we can get him sooner for a cheap price like we got Afellay.

Exactly my thoughts. It's interesting that people who aren't really into facts think that Pep is leaving because he failed! It's not an uncommon belief now that Barca is in crisis and they are being spanked by Madrid and other European elite clubs e.g Chelsea. In the case of Barcelona, Pep is...

Anyone here with actual information about his performance and consistency level? Is he good enough for Barcelona? Our defense is too thin and we need good CBs, if not world-class CBs. A free CB from a club like Ajax isn't an everyday opportunity, especially since we are desperate for some...

So Guardiola isn't a theist? I thought he was disciplined by some tough-ass nuns? German is a difficult language. The best fit, technically, is City. After watching tonight's Manchester derby, I'm more convinced than ever that Pep can do great things over there. They are on their way to win...

Adriano is good as things stand, he's injury prone though and has no backup unless we promote B players. Alba isn't better than him, just younger. We need someone who can defend. Abidal, when in form, was a very good defender. I said this before, but Roma's Jose Angel is more impressive than...

This. He's kind of like Madrid's Keita. Keita is better aerially though. (He's been Pep's "moral compass", and that can't be bad.) And if Di Maria had a bigger head, he would have been 10 times more dangerous. He's one of the best technical players in the league, but his decision making is...

I heard Real Madrid have more than 100m available for the upcoming transfer market. Is it true? Any potential targets so far?

He's good in the air, 6 cm shorter than Pique, very good positioning and anticipation and he is an excellent tackler. The thing is, the guy stayed with Juve when they were relegated, so it's hard to convince him to move at a time when Juve is on the way to claim the league title for the first...

I always thought he wanted to leave after three seasons. This season he was forced, by the club and his players, to stay. Of course, let's not forget that his relationship with the president wasn't like the one he had with Laporta. His family must have had a huge influence on his decision too...

Maybe so, but we will never know until Barcelona makes it formal. Rejecting this Barcelona is very, very difficult. It's once in a lifetime opportunity to be wanted by this side. I'm not aware of tensions between Atheltic and Barca. If an offer is good enough, why would they reject it? Unless...

If I look that good by the time I'm 41, I will be one happy, good-looking bloke.
