FC Barcelona Thread [2011/2012]

Pedrito close to a golazo Villa style

i really like cuenca guy, maybe we could make some cash with afellay in next windows or summer.

 

[ArgVega]

Maybe. I think Ibi has more to offer than them, but they are still young and can prove me wrong. Great game by the team, I was a bit dissapointed in Kiko tho

 

[Arnau]

Kiko looked so shy, not a surprise although. Zubizarreta said thanks to Juventus but Afellay isn't going anywhere.

Good news.

Kiko was very shy. Its funny you mention it, Afellay looked the same when he played. Its a completely different story for our academy debutants Sergi Roberto, Pedro, Jeffren, Bojan, Busi, Fontas, Bartra, Dos Santos... looked so confident in their first minutes in the senior team like they were playing Barca B match.

 

[Arnau]

It's actually like they are still playing with Barça B, Juvenil, Cadete or Infantil because it's the same style they learned there plus they know the players. Kiko is not even adapted to Barça B.


EDIT: Fontàs is another Chygrynskiy, Bartra and Gómez are better than him. Muniesa is a mystery, bad luck with injuries.

Do you have any update on players strike? base on websites news, it may stop this week matches as well.

Tbh, it wasn't that bad for Barca. It gave them additional time to prepare themselves. They look closer to 100% right now.

This is some deep ****. Last year Barca had to loan good money to pay the players. La Liga could implode if they don't find solutions but Real and Barca are by far the two best teams in the world.

# Bundesliga- looks safe and improving consistently. Best infrastructure for football.

# Premiership- is safe as money is always rolling and the Championship is also 5 or something like that in attendance.

# Calcio- needed a major surgery already but as Inter looks to be taking a break it could go even more backwards. Juve need to get back and Roma need rise faster. The champs Milan look like they can't seriously compete in the transfer market......from Fabregas and Ganso(still a possibility) to Aquiliani. Napoli I heard wanted Rossi......interesting.

# Ligue 1- is pretty competitive with Lyon(stadium project),Marseille,Lille(stadium project) and of course PSG. PSG now have the potential to join the big boys. They want Arsene Wenger and he seems tempted to join.

We could see a great Brasilian league in some years. There economy is booming and have a few tournaments to host in a short period of time. The Corinthians deal regarding Tevez and Santos managing to keep Neymar and Ganso even if for a short time could be a sign of things to come. This could take some time but I could certainly see this happening.

New hero hail the crowd

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Hahahaha, who IS that guy!?!?

 

[Arnau]

Francesc Satorra, more than 30 years working in Camp Nou.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

And now immortalized in Fili's sig.

 

[kp41]

Even his t-shirt is out

 

[ArgVega]

Piquenbauers out for three weeks *$%@#$^#%^!!!!!!

This will be a good chance for Andreu to get some experience, I thought he did well in the Gamper

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Good time for the players to be on strike I suppose.

 

[MaSsiVe]

Andreu to be a starter in the Supercup match? yes please

LOL couldn't agree more

Andreu to be a starter in the Supercup match? yes please

Good posibility, althouh I think Pep will play Mascherano and Abidal as CBs with Dani and Adriano on the flanks. That's if we don't suffer another injury...

 

[Arnau]

Our own Frank Lampard, Sergi Roberto, renewed untill 2015 . He was linked with few clubs this summer.

I'm not worried with the defense, Mascherano - Abidal is a great couple; i'd be worried if Messi and Villa injury.

now imagine, Puyol and Pique suspended, Masch and Abidal injured as would be the defense?
