Replacement of Yaya Toure

Cesc?

Waste one of the most dangerous midfielders as a "pass to Xavi" DM? I go against that.

What about Nigel de Jong? He seemed to be the counter version of Busi at finals, although his game wasn't fantastic as Busi.
I'm also a huge fan of Mikel Obi. Just putting his name out there as well, seeing that Chelsea would never give away Essien.

I remember Zapater was linked with us years ago, but i'm not convinced he has lived up to his potential. And if this is a poll about DM's being linked with Barca through the media, where is the most obvious one - Mascherano?

Based on that list, i've voted for Palacios, he's very tough, comfortable on the ball and has the passing game to do the job. However, if we sign Cesc, I think we'll have the players to cover the positions. Obviously the worst cases of injuries wouldn't help, but you can't think that way.

AS says , we are looking for Diarra or Sissoko , both may cost around 10 M .

I want to see either one get swapped with the loaned players like Henrique and Hleb, whom we obviously don't need.

Sissoko all day long, or Javi Martinez (although he probably isn't suited to being a replacement for Yaya).

Ah.. I wish we had Essien man!

 

[por supuesto]

Rafa is boss man at DM, keep him for another year and save some cash.

My exact thoughts...too bad he's sleeping with Abramovich.

 

[Hamzah]

i hope you mean moussa sissoko and not momo sissoko because he is shite. but annan looks like a good option....

 

[Ataraxia]

sissoko sissoko sissoko sissoko sissoko .....

I've been a huge fan of Annan since I saw him on Football Manager. He looked solid for Ghana, and he played the DM in a 4-3-3 similar to the way we want our DM's to play.

Plus, he's playing for Rosenborg in Norway, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind moving to Barcelona for a change....

Recent rumor: Oriol Romeu

Capoué.

Capoué.

Capoue does look like a very promising player to be honest. He has this tendency of finding or at least looking for those amazing defense splitting passes. Moves well, technically looks good. He probably moves fast as well. I think we should get him, he would be a good back up for Sergi and may even win fair share of minutes on the pitch.

Yes.
