Yeah, nice read. I came across this myself earlier today, wish there were more articles/interviews like this as I think most fans get a lot of insight & enjoyment from them

What the heck was Alba doing...

Looked he tried to be cute with the ball and went to clear it and messed it up.

Our CBs Masche,Verm and Mathieu today weren't doing bad at all. It just looked like Alba and Alves were trying their best to completely screw them over.

 

[Topolino]

He's here and he's decent. I wouldn't sell him unless we had a financial problem. Atleast not under 10m.
I quite like him. He's not too old and seems to have aorted out his injury problems.

 

[DonAK]

He might stay as only one CB will be signed and Bartra's the one who seem to be on his way out, or at least should be for his own sake unless he's content with being 4th/5th choice.

I was amazed when you moved for Vermaelen and not Koscielny. Although we would have fought you over Koscielny. Vermaelen had lost this place in the team and wanted to leave, so it was an easy transfer for both clubs and player.

 

[Barcaman]

Surprised? Really? After taking Song, Petit and others?

 

[Flavia]

After the Song fiasco, Verm can be considered an ok signing. At least he scored an important goal vs Malaga. Song only gave us tchakap and this:

Every time I see this... it is one of the most awkward moments in history of mankind.

I find it amazing pretty much all the players that go from Arsenal to Barcelona, dont work out. In hindsight, they all looked like good signings, but they just dont work. Even with Henry, his best days were behind him, and I felt you only signed him because you had been chasing him for so long.

Whilst on the other hand, we have so much success when players come the other way. Such was Cesc, Bellerin, Sanchez.

It's pretty obvious, though, isn't it? It takes a much better player to stand out and shine at Barça than it does at Arsenal.

Well, there was also Gio, who was good. So was Fabregas for half a year per season.

Whats up with him? Where is he? Is he injured?

We buy a player off you every summer near enough haha. God knows why as most of them have been crap.
