Guys who rate him higher than Zidane, Scholes or Laudrup are obv. barca fans... They always overrate their players and treat them like god ffs.

More impressive is we are willing to pay 40 for Sanchez instead of going for Aguero who costs more or less the same

Sanchez has a higher ceiling than Aguero, fits the system alot more, commands alot less wages plus the initial deal is 28 mill the rest is based on how Sanchez and the club performs.

This is one of the most ridiculous posts I've ever read. In fact, I thought u were being sarcastic initially. You usually have insightful things to say, but this is just outrageous, and wrong on so many levels that I don't know where to begin.

Basically, every sentence and every point in your post is wrong.

Why would he thank Guardiola every time he wakes up? He's an outstanding athlete and he's 100% dedicated to Barcelona. He was making outstanding passes before Guardiola came around but the team wasn't built around him like it is now. He had Ronaldinho in that squad FFS!!!!

Barca plays perfectly for Xavi? LOL
Xavi does everything for his teammates to get into good positions. It's not barca playing for Xavi, it's Xavi playing for everyone else.

All he has is tempo control and good vision? What is a playmaker supposed to do then?
He has EXCELLENT vision and out-of-this-world tempo control. Pay attention to him and watch him moving his head around ALL the time. He's always aware of everyone's position on the pitch, and this is what makes him so great. He doesn't need to do tricks like Iniesta or Messi, yet you call him a 1 trick pony.
With Xavi, it's not even vision/tempo control that he's good at, it's something different, it's like he's a field marshall and is carrying a banner and everyone knows what to do when they're near him. You gotta be REALLY good to carry that banner for barcelona!

If you watch a full barcelona game and pay attention to Xavi and Xavi only, you will suddenly have an epiphany. I would recommend the Arsenal game in 2009/10 CL first leg. I watched Xavi in that game twice, and he was absolutely flawless. The guy made the right decision and right move each and every time, and his positioning was inch perfect. I was amazed at his performance. No wonder Arsenal looked like headless chickens.

He's not a flashy player but if you appreciate football, you will appreciate how Xavi plays the game. He is truly a unique player, and yes he's fortunate to have guys like Alves bombing down the right giving an option to pass, and having guys like Messi who never lose the ball, but that does NOT take away from what he does. If anything, he makes his teammates better by dictating where they should be. See, Xavi is almost like the 'point guard' in basketball terminology. Everyone plays off of him, because he's that good.

Also, you contradicted yourself by saying Xavi is a joke, then you said he's good. Make up your mind ffs.

Guardiola's tactics make's everyone look WC? No they actually are WC. He's tactics would not work if they didn't have WC players.

Thank you.

Aguero is more talented than Sanchez, at a good club in the right system Aguero can be a top 5 player

lol at madrid fans that can get away with insulting Barcelona every other post because there isn't enough Barcelona fans to start a shitstorm

The Dutchman spoke of the 'soap opera' Barcelona summer and, especially, interest in Cesc. Cruyff knows that Arsenal is who has the upper hand, however much the player wants to return to Barcelona. "Cesc Barca also was signed some time ago and for many years, so you should stick to his contract. If you talk of quality football, the sense that the club wants him, but there is an existing contract. From here The two clubs have to negotiate and Arsenal is in charge. "

Johan used a simile to describe this situation. "Cesc has a contract. Let's see what we say here with a Barca player do the same. As Messi, for example," he said before to agree with Arsene Wenger in this issue: "He looks after their interests, not the others, of course. And he has every right in the world to do so because Cesc has a contract with Arsenal. "

The Barca exentrenador considered to be giddy talking about figures in this possible recruitment. "It's a lot of money and will have to use your head, because it can not be applied in sections cut and spend a few such large amounts," he argued.

"NEED BOJAN MINUTES"

Cruyff also spoke of Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean striker may be the new FC Barcelona but in this case is also in full soap opera. The coach acknowledged that he knows much this player "because I saw some last year with Udinese, but from what I've seen has spark and speed. In addition, Copa America is scoring goals and that is very important."

The possible arrival of Alexis coincidrá with more predictable Bojan march to Rome. Cruyff Linyola recognizes that one of their favorite players. "I like his way of being and play. I do not know if it was better for him to continue at the club or seek tenure in Rome, but it is clear he needs minutes to play," he said. Clearer water.

And in addition to the daily review of Barca, Johan did not avoid talking about the arch-rivals Real Madrid, with a clear message: "It is clear that Real Madrid has invested heavily in its workforce in recent years, but has the misfortune of playing the same competition that the club ".

Could Barcelona, as an entity, be any more hypocritical?

And I feel just as bad when barca does the same, so don't bother bringing it up...

Then Barca aint either tapping up fabregas, seeing that if he comes its from his own will..

And you should get read your history better, barca had forbidden wenger to watch and talk to fabregas so he went so he went and saw when he played for spain u-17(I think it was) and seeing as barca CANT give out professional contract to players who are under 18, they could do nothing against it even though they wanted too..

1) it cant be wenger as he never scouts player himself, must be our scouts, and in any case, can i have the source for it ?

2) Barca could have stopped him because cesc did not move for money, he moved because he wanted to play, hence barca could have said he is part of their plans but they did not, just like they let pique leave.

Arsene Wenger was desperate to sign Fabregas but was prohibited from watching him play for Barcelona's youth team.

But the Frenchman got around the problem by heading to Finland for the Under 17 World Cup in 2003, where Fabregas won the Golden Boot and player of the tournament gongs.

Arsenal signed their future captain in September that year, paying just £700,000 in compensation after Barcelona complained to FIFA.

Toral, a goalscoring midfielder in the mould of Frank Lampard, could now find himself at the centre of another controversy.

plus

"Barca argued with former Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein over their move before securing a first-refusal option on Fabregas."

That means cesc was desperate to join Arsenal more then we wanted him., hence he agreed terms with us...


you could have forced him. just like you kept every other player with you guys after cesc saga unless they wanted to move themselves. Did Thiago leave barcelona? no. why? because he has been told he will get more chances.
