    Neymar - v2

    Yes Neymar is phenomenal on the left side drifting inwards to take shots on goal. If we had him today our front 3 would line up like this Neymar - Messi - Pedro. Do you think he could play in the "False 9" role though as Messi does? Like if it was a CdR match and Tito lined up Villa - Neymar -...

    Who should replace Valdés?

    De Gea to me looks like a good kid with a lot of skill trapped in a neanderthal league where pace/strength is more important than technique. The most technical players are foreign (Mata, Hazard, Valencia, Suarez, Silva, Aguero, Tevez, Toure, Michu etc etc). Still it is an entertaining league and...

    Neymar - v2

    That's what my question was... Who can play out wide but also through the middle if needed?

    Neymar - v2

    Here's my thing about Neymar... Thank god Messi has been a machine and has stayed injury free. But let's say he does miss a match. What is our plan B? Who else can play through the middle with similar success? Although Villa is back his injury clearly has management scared to give him the full...

    Who should replace Valdés?

    Newcastle are having a horrible season with injuries and aren't playing well. Most of their injuries have come to the backline too so they've conceded a lot of goals. Despite that Krul is solid. Good shot stopper, good with the ball at his feet and accurate passing. At 6'4 and only 24 y/o he'd...

    Who should replace Valdés?

    If we have to get a 30 y/o then we should go for the Michel Vorm. Anyone who has seen Swansea the last 2 years has seen Vorm is the best keeper in the BPL. He'll come a lot cheaper than Reina too. After his crappy displays for Liverpool Reina is one Masia player I'm not sentimental about returning.

    Who should replace Valdés?

    PEPE REINA? Please god no!!!! Reina is a major downgrade from Valdes. I sincerely hope this is all back page BS! Our 2 targets need to be Courtois or ter Stegen. A language can be learned and mastered and every player who goes abroad learns the local tongue. Reina isn't going to bring anything...

    Wesley Sneijder

    Yeah that's when I ask is allllll that money really worth it? No disrespect to the Turkish league or Gala but that would be a step down from Inter for me. Are all athlete's only trying to make the most they can while they can? Van der Vaart took a paycut to go to (at the time relegation bound)...

    Wesley Sneijder

    Yeah I agree. Bye Bye Wesley. Don't think we'll be hearing anything from him anymore unless he accomplishes something with the Dutch NT.

    1 - Victor Valdes

    This should be the period to end the Valdes thread lol

    1 - Victor Valdes

    Sounds good. Courtois with his Liga experience would have an immediate impact. At 6'6 it will be nice to have some more height in our defense.

    1 - Victor Valdes

    Finish out the season and replace Valdes with the of the following **Courtois, Ter Stegen, Vorm** Begovic, Krul

    Gerard Piqué

    Yeah I don't understand the Pique hate. It wasn't his fault. He should have been more careful sure seeing how this ref was really involved in the match. But he was concentrating on the match and didn't pull his leg out of the way. It happens.

    Gerard Piqué

    The first card was just stupid. We're up 0-2 who cares if the ball is placed 2 feet this way or that way. The second card was complete crap. Pique didn't stop a clear goal scoring opportunity, it wasn't a malicious or reckless tackle. It should have been a free kick and nothing more. Stupid...

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    WHY DIDN'T WE? He was 10 million Euros (half of what we paid for Song) and from the Ajax Academy which play the exact same system Barca does so he'd be up to speed by the end of preseason. Mascherano is no CB. Just look at the goal in extra time... he was infront of the goal scorer and the ball...

    Messi wins Ballon d'Or 2012!

    Barcelona players are defined by their selfless attitudes and passion for the team. None more than Iniesta, Xavi, Puyol so we won't have this problem. Everyone including Messi knows our success has been a team effort. All links in the chain are solid. We all know what happens to players who...

    Why are you a Barcelona fan?

    The style, the philosophy, the city, the stadium, the history, the honor which FC Barcelona carries itself. Growing up in the states football isn't at the forefront of major sports (despite MLS & Beckham). The only football I watched was the Euro & World Cups but I didn't become crazy about the...

    Radamel Falcao

    Pedro is a spectacular player. His touch, positioning and passing bring so much to the team I agree
