Jaboldinho · Jun 12, 2009

So, it's officially a new season now, I guess. Good first post.

So, any transfer hopes, guys? Who comes, who goes? I think we need atleast an LB and a versatile midfielder, say Ribery, who can play on the wings too. And perhaps also backups for LB and RB. Niklas Moisander would be good for that.

Dytza · Jun 12, 2009

We definetly need min. one good LB, I say min. in case Abidal is going to leave us this summer.

Hmm, midfield? I'm not so sure. Xavi and Iniesta are impressive along with Yaya, and Eidur, Keita and Busquets always did thier job well when needed. We need Ribery in case Henry (32) can't make another great season, but this one can be decided only by Pep.

PS: Good first post Xifio!

Jaboldinho · Jun 12, 2009

We have a long season ahead of us, we probably need a bigger squad than we had this season. It's also unlikely that we will be as lucky with injuries as we were.

thanks for this Arnau! gorgeous!

Jaboldinho · Jun 12, 2009

That Messi clip just brings a smile on one's face. Look at it. When Ronaldinho still was a magician.

Xifio · Jun 12, 2009

first post updated (for now) ... was going to add a history section, but I thought Arnau's post is early enough for anyone interested to browse through those videos ...

Great thread Xifio.

So, treble again? haha

Visca el Barça!

it's too early. I'll go in USA (New Jersey) too but I'll arrive sooner

I want David Silva and Ibrahimovic to Barcelona

ribery.

Ulysses · Jun 13, 2009

Ribery and Messi have similar playing styles, I don't think they would fit in the same team. Silva on the left, Xavi, Iniesta in the middle and Messi on the right will take a dump on Madrid galacticos

Arnau · Jun 13, 2009

bollokcs.

ribery and messi in the wings would be daggers, frankenstein fit perfecly in barça sistem thats the reason why pep put him the number 1 in the list.

btw the dout its an ofense, mandril cant make us shadow.

Pep put Ribery on the list coz he knows gaynaldo would not make advances towards him .

Hmm Aranu posting videos of Barca's history...Clue propaganda anyone? :biggrinx:

Anyone will be interesting to see what moves you guys make, I still think it's crazy that you want to sell Eto'o but it's better to sell than let him leave for free. It's also kind of weird/funny to see 3 players rejecting new contract/wanting more money. Valdes wanting somthing like over 9 million a year LOL. He should consider himself lucky enough to be the starting keeper there.

Now we are in for Villa, it seems.

I'd prefer to leave out the political statements ... PM me if you want to know more or discuss further ...

tickets are already available online ... you better grab one quick if you're serious about going ...

haha ... well propaganda is part of history as it stands, so I guess it would be fitting ... I would have had to select a few videos and leave out a few, which I thought was unnecessary and which is why I left it as his contribution ...

CarlosDanger;2684294 said:

if Eto'o had to go, I'd prefer him to go to Inter under Mourinho than to Milan or an English team ... and Zlatan would have been the perfect "replacement" for me from a personal standpoint of players who are my favourites ... and if Real Madrid end up with Zlatan, it will be another season of ambivalence when watching some of their players ... anyway, let's see what happens ...
