Lots of doom and gloom here. I think for the most part exaggerated and rather short sighted. Let's see what Vilanova has said:
Sounds resonable to me, if he dosen't want Hummels then he probably has sound motives for that. Barcelona has a long history of failed over hyped center backs, It could be that Hummels is just another Chygrinski and that we don't want.
doesn't sound reasonable to me. But I would be accepting if I could see the motives
Agree, the majority of players that have been brought in has failed to deliver. I don't want to see another 30-40 million wasted on a player that never settle or integrate with the team.
The thing is, you create a plan and try to find the best players to fit that plan and also guide them to fit in. Tito doesnt seem to see anything wrong with this situation we are in. If we want to continue to be a Pep-lite sort of Barca we wont get any way. In order to move forward we need creativity and change. Tito may find it kinda too hard because he is not going according to an original rational plan.
Exactly, the team is competitive and winning this league shows that. This is another case of over analyzing the underlying problems that has plagued the team this spring. Going for the home run can backlash really bad and Barcelona risk losing a solid foundation for the sole purpose of short sighted desperation.
I dont think anyone here is expecting a revolution, but Tito's mindset of being in sort of a denial about our need to change some ways is not going to help either. not every kind of change is called a revolution. A young base of players is good for a good man manager. Is tito a good one?
Together with Messi, Cesc was the best player in the squad during the autumn, he is one of the main reason for the unprecedented 55 points won during the first 19 games. This league is won in large part thanks to his great form in that part of the season. Cesc should definitely stay, anything else is complete madness.
Inability to find a solid place for cesc will not only have thiago regress but will lead to his own poor form too. If not mentioning risking the balance of the team as a system. after 2 seasons I expect a tactical mind to get a solution for it.
Right again, the season is yet over and Pique risk the integrity of the team with his mindless statement
Pique is not right and I dont agree with him criticizing ourselves too publicly, but Tito should shut him up in private too rather than continuing it in the press.
Hitting it on the nail, Bayern has massacre all its opponents this season, Barcelonas was just one in a long line of teams run over by the Germans.
Not agreeing at all. Bayern had waaaaay more 1-2 than 5-0 s or 4-0 or so. they won Dortmund but no massacre happened. Valencia got a 2-1 and a 1-1 and got out. may be it is only Hamburg SV that got a 9-2 that is as bad as us other wise even the Werder Bremen's 6-1 is better than our 7-0 in CL's semi's. The way we lost to bayern can not be explained the way Tito half assed it.
