Alexander Hleb

[Red Devil]

His shooting shouldn't be his greatest attribute really, not covering up for the fact that it is woeful. I think his forte is quick passing and positional play, he can dribble too. He used to play fantastic through balls at Arsenal.

Was that good the flogged him at there first chance didnt battle to keep him did they .

Lightweight and clueless when he gets in a good position was terrible in the final in 2006 against you lot .

I have no idea what the first part of that post says man .Wenger has a knack for fucking up in that area, look at the departure of Flamini.

playing centrally he shat all over you lot at old trafford last year and if adebayor had some manner of shooting boots on that day you'd have been 3/4 down at half-time from chances created by gleb.

he's a brilliant playmaker, we just need to use him like one instead of as a wing-forward.

In fairness, look how Arsenal have done without Hleb & Flamini

Not a fan sorry

We can all have our view cant we.

Why did barcelona buy him? He has done nothing. He IMO not worth his money worth

interesting thing is that his real name is Gleb, but in Englad everyone called him Hleb and he decide to keep that name on the shirt when came to Barcelona. And other interesting thing is that in to serbian language Hleb means bread

Well no, it's because Cyrillic can be transliterated in many ways, and one possible way is Hleb, and the other is Gleb. For example Chinese can also be transliterated in many ways - like Mao Tse Tung, or Mao Zedong etc. It's because the English language is phonetically messed up like that. So Hleb and Gleb are both correct.
Heheh yes also in Russian Hleb means bread, and I would presume that in Belorussian too. So he's called Alexander Bread

In Serbia we use both Cyrillic and Latinic

I thought Cyrillic was a type of paint :$

We do need a backup for Iniesta and Xavi. Hleb could be it, but Pep has shown that he doesn`t trust him in that role as every time either of the two were absent, he opted for Keita or Busquets.

Just give him a chance and he'll shine!:2145960713mundoemot:beer2:

Expecting that level from him next season when he's more settled. Come on Hleb, prove the doubters wrong!

that's what I'm talkin' about!

I have faith that, if he stays and is played central, he'll come good next season and with him and thiago as creative backups we may not be as much in the shit in terms of squad depth.

still would like to see cesc come home, though.

I liked Hleb a lot at Arsenal, and hope Pep trusts him enough for another chance. Only thing is he's not as good at Xavi or Iniesta at spraying the ball around, so I'm not sure he's ever gonna be used as a CM in our 4-3-3. When we got him, I thought the idea was that He can be a winger, making us more flexible. We haven't really had real wingers since Quaresma and Luis Garcia (still don't think Giuly was a true winger), and i think it's made us a little bit predictable.

And, Metaphysical, do you mean Thiago from Juventus? He's been terrible the past couple years. Sort of the posterboy for their central midfield woes...
