Soon enough you'll tell us that you're doing away with all the nicknames and making 'Official' threads again
What are you, like 11?

I understand the points, I agree in some ways, things "La Maqina" is kinda lame but I like the idea of a nickname (if its a good one) because it makes the thread stand out a little.
Perhaps media given names for those famous ones, but I thought for example, Kizz having "the flash" next to Tello made sense and fit quite well and it indeed did stand out.
Anyway, keep the opinions coming and me and Kizz will talk it over. Nicknames are not a big thing, its more the organisation of the section which interests me and it seems in terms of that, it seems people are mostly for it.
Definitely. The organizational benefits are out of the question, sorry if I was just nitpicking on the tiny details. I just agreed with Albiceleste and thought I'd chip in. But I'm all for the idea to have a thread on each player - especially with all the stats and youtube videos.
Edit : "The Flash" isn't bad either
No, its good, im glad for the feedback. I understand the point of view.

Re: Our new idea
As far as nicknames are concerned I agree with LM's point of view. I don't want to completely make up new ones for players that already get referred to as something else. The way I see it, we have two options. The first option is to give everyone their real nickname (Messi = pulga, etc), and make up one if they don't have one (like with Cuenca, Telo or Montoya). Not all press-appointed nicknames are actually used by our community or the barca community in general though, so we should use our own discretion. The other options is to give them their forum nickname (shini's list would be epic). I'm perfectly fine with both of these, or a combination of both.
Real Nicknames appointed by press:
According to Barcanews:
Víctor Valdés: 'Doble' y 'Potro', Dani Alves:' Tiburón', Puyol; 'Tarzán', Piqué; 'Piquetón', Abidal: 'Abu', Xavi: 'Pelopo', Iniesta: 'Gusiluz', Cesc: 'el Pelucas', Pedro: 'Sepia' y "Flaco", Messi: 'El Enano', Jonathan Dos Santos; 'el Gordito', Bartra; 'la Niña', Oier;' Pájaro loco', Miño; 'el Rata'
Barcelona players by nickname according to Spanish Wiki (not available on English wiki):
1 Valdes: Double V, La pantera/The panther, The Panther of Hospilatet
2 Dani Alves: MotoGP, Tarantula
3 Pique: Piquenbauer, The Prince
4 Cesc: Cesc lol
5 Puyol: Tiburón/Shark, Tarzán, Bull, The Tarzan of La Pobla, Puyi
6 Xavi: Pelopo, Humphrey Bogart
7 David Villa: El Guaje
8 Iniesta:Don Andres, Fantasmita/Little Ghost, The White Knight, The Brain
9 Alexis Sanchez: Niño Maravilla/Wonderkid
10 Messi: La Pulga/The Flee, The Messiah
11 Thiago: Mazinho Jr
13 Pinto: Tao Pai Pai, Pinto of Inflection, Senglar
14 Mascherano: Masche, Monster Masch, El Jefecito/ The little chief, The lion
15 Keita: Seito, Keite, The lung of the forest
16 Busquets: Busi, Pulpo/Octopus, The Octopus of La Badia, Snowblower
17 Pedro: PR17, Pedrito, Don Pedro
20 Afellay: Ibi
21 Adriano: Adriano Moto/ Motorcycle Adriano, 5 position man, Adrimagic, The Bull of Curitiba
22 Abidal: Abi, The Kenyan, The French Arrow, The Sprinter
23 Cuenca:
24: Fontas:
28: JDS: Jona
32: Tello:

Re: Our new idea
As far as the actual idea I do have one criticism: I think it has the potential to discourage conversation.
Let's say I want to make a thread about Thiago's passing ability, and I want to write 5 or 6 paragraphs about it so I'd put in a fair amount of work. Since I put effort into that post, and it's a novel subject not discussed on the Thiago thread yet, I would want to start my own thread to make sure the most amount of people read it. Otherwise, I may think only a few people would read it so why bother?
The solution to this potential problem is easy: allow people to start new threads about players and when they die merge them with the player thread. If this is allowed I have no problems at all with the new idea.

You answered your problem with what we plan to do to an extent. The idea is not to stop the opening of interesting topics on players but to stop redundant threads of stats, videos, quotes etc.
It is up to the poster's discretion as to whether it is a topic worthy of its own thread. If myself or dani thinks its a shite thread we can merge it. Easy.
Oh and I agree with you on the names. I don't think they are that important. For players with existing ones we all know we can use them. Otherwise it's not so necessary unless you have a really good one, like 'The Flash'. Me hehe

I understand if thats the case, but just wondering.
Agree with Albiceleste. Madrid section always struck me as juvenile. With all those retarded nicknames, their front page is like a classifieds section for Mexican luchadores . Would genuinely appreciate if we didn't follow suit, but hey..it's just a forum, and it looks like most of us don't mind..so neither do I.
Can we just have Messi as "La Pulga" and Iniesta as "Don Andres" or "El Anti Galactico" ? As long as they have media appointed nicknames, I don't see why we should go out of our way to make new ones..that aren't really that great.
Just my opinion.
Agreed, I don't think every player needs a nickname. If it's a really apropiate nickname, like "the flash" for Tello, it's cool. If it's a spread nickname it's also cool like the usual nicknames:
Iniesta: Don Andres, Gusiluz.
Messi: La Pulga, El petitó (the small one).
Piqué: Piquenbauer
Puyol is called Tarzan or tiburon (shark) by spanish commentators, I don't like any of them and catalan commentators don't use it.
Mascherano: Machete, Jefesito
Villa: Guaje
Keita: Keite
The others from Alfred's list are not really used.

Re: Our new idea
Intresting comments.
La Pulga, Don Andres, Piquebauer, Machete,Niño Maravilla and Guaje are the ones most well known/personal favourites to me.
I lie 5 position man Adriano, thats a cool one.
I guess later on ill start making some threads to get this rolling.

Franchise, are you a poster there? I posted a while (def. not a lot, ended up with about 100 posts) but the Admin (Bojan) really got on my nerves. It was the reason fo me to come here.
I do like the idea though. Works nicely, those different threads.

I see. It's a pity that there seem to be no other English spoken Barça forums out there. But GL is nice.
Re: Our new idea
I know Keita is not rated much here, but I think he should be, not only for his goal in this game, but generally since hes been at Barca whenever hes played hes done well. He doesnt get enough credit becos ppl including us compare him with Iniesta and Busquets, which is harsh. Hes still a top top midfielder!
I want us all to give him a well deserved round of applause! :bball:
I know part of it is we think he will get in the way of the youngsters but thats really unfair to the man, since hes given us a lot too. Sign at the same time as Alves.

Next season, I can see Montoya getting the number 12 jeresy with Muniesa getting the 18. Tello maybe getting the 19. JDS and Barta getting the the closest highest jersey they can find
