Of course Fabregas WON'T be sold - but I do think he is overrated, in much the same way as Iniesta is underrated. Gotze is a prince, with a great attitude and intelligence and i'd swap Fabregas for him in a heartbeat.

It must be obvious to everybody that the kid has talent - you don't get plaudits like that from Pele if you're hopeless. However, Gotze is the kid we should be after. I dreamt last night that we'd bought him and sold Fabregas back to Arsenal. When I woke up, and realized it had all been a...

A small European club like Ajax? I hope you're being ironic about a club that has won FOUR European Cups and produced a zillion genuine world class players.

I really don't agree, my friend. The best defender I've ever seen was old and slow: Franco Baresi, and Bobby Moore and Nesta would hardly have beaten Usain Bolt in a sprint. Of course a fast defender is better than a slow one, but a defender's sensibility, great decision making and an ability to...

Why aren't we going after a defender? For the love of god, no more of these flicky-tricky midfielders! I'd sell my mother to the martians to get Chiellini.

Boo-hoo. If he doesn't want to play for the greatest football club in the world, I'll personally drive him to the airport. He should be grateful a goalkeeper as average as he is has managed to win as much as he has done. In life, in football, and at Barca, I have no time for cry babies and...

Riquelme was the type of player (along with the likes of Aimar, Ortega, D'Alessandro), that made that 'Number 10'/Fantasista role what it is today - not so long ago, teams would line up in a strict, 4-4-2 formation and things were less fluid. Even in the days of Platini, Baggio, and even...

I would wrestle alligators, handcuff lightning and crawl naked over broken glass just to watch a minute of Riquelme NOW, nevermind in his pomp. Without Riquelme, there could never be a Messi - hope you guys realize that. Messi is very fortunate how he is indulged (and probably rightly so at...

I know, my friend, it's just an intuition I have in my waters - not based on fact. Hope I'm wrong (for once)

I kinda feel sorry for the kid - his problem is this: he's trying TOO hard. But I'd rather have it that way, than somebody feeling sorry for himself and not trying at all. You sort of get the feeling though, that this is as good as it will get and he's not going to be scoring 25 goals a season...

Gotze

Not keen on the hoops on the sleeves...I always think it's best to keep things simple

The Barcelona Away shirt 2003-2005 (the one Ronaldinho wore when bamboozling Chelsea with his toe-poke goal at Stamford Bridge). I think is the coolest football shirt EVER. Deco looked like a footballing angel in his.

Ten years ago, my friend who is a Liverpool season ticket holder. got me a ticket to go to watch them play Barca. That was in the days of, De Boer, Petit, Rivaldo etc. Within 10 minutes I'd fallen in love, and was staring at these beautiful players, playing beautiful football in utter and total...
