Anyone who thinks Xavi is redundant now should watch this a couple of times. He completely changed the game as soon as he came on. He made the team gel. Sure, he's no spring chicken. He can't play two games a week any more, which is why it's great to have Rakitic, but if he can play one game...

Thomas Vermaelen: Arsenal agree £15m fee with Barcelona Arsenal have agreed a fee of about £15m with Barcelona for the sale of captain Thomas Vermaelen. The 28-year-old Belgium centre-back must now agree personal terms with the Catalan giants and pass a medical. Vermaelen was a target for...

Scholes: Suarez is making a mistake joining Barcelona. I have a lot of respect for Paul Scholes' football genius, and I can't help but feel that he's not wrong with this judgement. Does anyone else think that Suarez is likely to be a repeat of the Ibrahimovic fiasco?
