His career is going to go downhill sooner than it should though, he can still play until he is about 35.

Given what he's won with Spain you can understand why he's considering it. Be a shame if he's left stranded on 97 caps though! He's definitely played way too much football over the last 3-4 years though.

Pep should seriously give him a two month break at most....

While I agree with you, that'd be kissing our season goodbye... Even with Xavi on the pitch things aren't looking so good, so imagine if he's gone permanently?

Yeah, I agree and I hope so... we need our "brain" in good conditions...

The thing is though, Pep already has a system where we have a no-Xavi formation, as long as Messi and Iniesta are playing.

 

[Gnegneri]

Havi!

 

[gingerless]

Havi!

first of all, how dare u not post it in english, second, does that say he recommends xavi for balon d'or?

or is it like xavi and iniesta going to be his biggest rivals?

 

[Gnegneri]

Havi?

Heavy?

No?

 

[gingerless]

[Hamzah]

It's one of Gneg's classic ''jokes''. You'll see lots of them the more you post here. They are hilarious as you can see.

What conclusion did you come to after that night against Inter?
It’s a team who won the Champions League without adding anything to football. Mourinho is a winner, but years will go by and he still wouldn’t have brought anything new into the football world. Nothing. He hasn’t innovated. He’s won, yes, with the best footballers, in the best clubs. Tactically he’s worked really well, but we’re looking for something else. Something different, romantic. Inter won the Champions League, but the football world continues admiring Barça. We, Barça, will leave a mark on football, just like Pep Guardiola or people like Alex Ferguson, who will leave a legacy. Then you have to ask yourself which is better: our way or the others’, who wait for the opponent to make a mistake to win

i like that reply heh
