Very true...
I am a big fan of Klose... I would love to see him in Blaugrana.

I agree with you there....on both points quoted.panxoman said:Etoo injury is a big loss.
I'm sure he'll be back sooner than expected.
Frank, please, leave rotations for domestic matches against week teams. Play with best players available in CL. No Oleguer or Motta when Zambrotta, Edmilson or Marquez are available.
Axolote said:IMO Saviola can replace Etoo.
Guddy comes form a different style of football, and i dont see him as a pure striker...
Anyway, Barca won't have any problems in La Liga, but the CL is another story...
Rijkaard Set To Start Without A Striker
Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard is set to send out an attacking trident comprising Ronaldinho, Messi and Giuly against Athletic Bilbao tonight.
Slotting Gudjohnsen up front instead of Eto'o seemed to be plan A, but Rijkaard is looking at other possible solutions as well, keeping in mind that Eto'o could be out until February.
He indicated as much upon his arrival in Bilbao: "Normally, Gudjohnsen would play, as he is the second striker. But we could also change some things."
Practise sessions on Friday indicate that Giuly will start on the right, Ronaldinho on the left, and Messi in the centre.
However, during the practise match, both Ronaldinho and Giuly were seen taking their turns in the centre, with Messi dropping to either flank.
The move is set to leave both Gudjohnsen and Saviola on the bench.
Expected Starting XI: Valdés - Zambrotta, Márquez, Puyol, Gio - Edmílson, Xavi, Deco - Giuly, Messi, Ronaldinho.
