Xavi's on his last legs. No chance of this happening.

even though i want to laugh in mole's face, you can tell that this is BS

Neymar set to be a Barca player by the weekend and probably announced next week.

by Gil Wed May 15, 2013 4:18 pm

And Madrid are probably going to answer back with Bale.

Neymar + Messi & Bale + Ronaldo this summer.

Both would be unreal going forward although Madrid's team would lack a little bit of creativity. Expect Ozil to have an immense season next year.

by Ganso Wed May 15, 2013 4:24 pm

bale and CR are too similar.We will see,but for now i dont think it will work,mainly because I think that Bale will have to play as a right winger.

Nerman,Iniesta and Messi together *fap *fap* *fap*

by Mr Nick09 Wed May 15, 2013 4:25 pm

Madrid signing Bale :facepalm:

will do good in the league when he has acres of space on counters to show his speed in year one, until teams figure him out and double team him. will flop in CL against big sides because they will play conservative vs us and defend with numbers, like vs Lyon or Basel

by BarrileteCosmico Wed May 15, 2013 4:27 pm

So only one source claiming that he's on the market, with no quotes or any actions to back it up, and you believe them? As of right now we have no reason to think the club would even think of selling him. And as Gil said it is likely that Thiago will play as many minutes, if not more, than Xavi next season.

When thinking of transfer rumors it's helpful to think about it rationally to set aside the likely transfers from the bullshit.

-Does the club have a footballing need for the move? No, it would put them at a disadvantage as he would have to be replaced
-Does the club have a financial need for the move? No, Barca are rumored to have 50m + sales for transfers, and with Afellay, Cuenca, Villa, Valdes, Alexis, Muniesa, JDS and Bojan likely to be sold this summer we don't have a need for extra sales.
-Does the player want out? No, he has stated many times he is happy at Barcelona.
-Has anyone in any official capacity even hinted that his move would be considered or "assessed over the summer"? No.

Conclusion: This rumor is bullshit.

Just like how Ribery and Robben wouldn't work right? :facepalm:

Iniesta will start doing Xavi's job, because he is miles better than thiago at everything. Cesc will get the freedom of playing the more advanced role, with his incisive passing.

Cesc is third in the pecking order, behind Xavi and Iniesta. Neymar coming to barca means you wont see iniesta as a winger anymore, and there are talks of barca looking to buy another forward, plus Deulofeu.

Thiago is doomed

by RealGunner Wed May 15, 2013 4:32 pm

Highly doubt that's true.

by sportsczy Wed May 15, 2013 4:32 pm

I do think there will have to be a choice between Cesc and Thiago though.... there isn't room for both on the team.

Ribery is a LW Robben is a RW,of course they would work.CR and Bale are both LW who like to drift to the middle

Anyway Barca signing Nerman is just another sacrifice for Messi. I'll give it two seasons before Nerman looks like a Donkey alla Villa, Pedro, Sanchez etc.

Bale and Ronaldo are much more versatile than you're giving them credit for.

by Gil Wed May 15, 2013 4:57 pm

RW, LW, AM who cares lol. The majority of Bale's best moments this year have come from the right side. What makes you think he wouldn't be able to play there lol?

Get rid of Alonso and Khedira and you're in business.

The lad with the glass ankles? Good news for the PL considering you already have another perma-crocked CB at the club.

Papa currently has a knee problem. But I would prefer him to stay at Schalke, I have to admit.

Mazinho, thiago's father and agent:

“Thiago rendiría más en cualquier otro equipo. No descarto que cambie de aires. El fútbol da muchas vueltas”, dijo el ex jugador del Celta de Vigo. Además, el brasileño añadió que “no entendería que el Barça fichara otro centrocampista este verano, el centro está congestionado”.

"Thiago would play more in any other team. I dont rule out a change of scenery. Football can take unexpected turns. It wouldnt make sense that barcelona sign another midfielder, the midfield is congested.''

that sweet coffee :coffee:
