Totally agree, it was a great pass. Infact he played well against Valencia when Henry got his hatrick aswell. He set up one and maybe more of the goals in that game.

Unless he's used to get someone like Ribery or Arshavin then im happy to see him stick around, hopefully not as our front three but in Iniesta's position whenever the opportunity arises.

The off season is great for players like Hleb, the lack of football allows them to recoup their reputation.

The off season also helps him to improve his Spanish, which was awful the last time I heard him speak it.

Do we? He hardly set the world alight at Arsenal either (3 goals in 2 seasons or soemthing crazy like that) and was an awful buy for Barcelona. I am pretty sure he did not even assist an assist this season. He is clearly out of his depth. He might do okay with the likes of Racing or Depor, but not a top club.

I would love if he proved me wrong, but having seen him for both Arsenal and Barca, I would be shocked if he does.

We do, or atleast I do. I'm going to stand by my comment as he was one of Arsenal's key driving forces, especially in his last season there. I was happy to see us linked with him and happy to see us sign him, because I felt if he could reproduce the displays he demonstrated for Arsenal, then it was going to be a win-win situation. I never entertained the thought that he would be signed for his goal scoring ability, he's terrible at finishing.

Don't see where he will play next season.

 

[VivaBarca]

Hleb will play on the bench this season.

 

[gcmy-01]

just give him more chances, and don't forget that Henry get his success at the 2nd season after joining the team.

1 things we must know is that Henry was bought to be a regular 1st team eleven, while we have Xavi, Ini, Hleb can only be a substitution.

 

[VivaBarca]

Exactly ryuken Hleb is a squad player, Henry is a starter.

The premiership? Bundesliga? Ligue 1? Anywhere but here!

 

[Raed]

Not Inter either!

(although he played an awesome against Inter!)

 

[John Antonio Bilboa]

He seems to have lost all of his pace, its quite incredible really.

Well i ain't posted much lately,bit boring all this transfer talk lol.
But having read quite a few posters slagging off Hleb saying he is rubbish, crap, garbage, etc not good enough for Barca.
So here is my take on him,how do you expect a player that has hardly any game time to play when he knows he is behind Xavi & Iniesta !
We were very very lucky last year not having any serious injuries to our midfield, we are light in the midfield department i believe Hleb would have come good this season given some time on the pitch. (Henry did in his second season).
Ha i remember only too well the amount of rubbish posted on here about Henry in his first year.
