The Barcelona Thread

Originally posted by Paulo Da Silva It's kinda sad when you see Celtic fans cry about their loss in the UEFA cup final

Celtic fans won both the UEFA and FIFA fair play awards for their excellent behaviour despite losing the UEFA Cup Final.

Celtic just beat Barcelona.

Need to respect other people's opinions? Why? If someone has an opinion which is complete horse-sh*t, why must anyone respect it? So when I say you are a total wanker, you must respect my opinion, ok? Good.

I say remove Monaco or Lyon or Deportivo and bring in Barcelona ....that is bring them into the Champions League ! Heck the way Inter played, you might as well bring them in as well.

Maybe you guys need to worry more about your Primera Liga campaign then. Finish second, and screw Celtic.

I think Barça must make some notes about what happened against Celtic

We’ve improved a lot and now we have a good team but we still need those players that can win a match when it gets too difficult.

You can’t pretend to win a game with Luis Garcia - Luis Enrique as forwards. We need some attacking force and those are not the names. Bring a striker and a forward pleaseeeeeee!

The midfield also needs someone else who brings strength to it. With Davids (and Motta ) missing, Gerard proved that he’s nothing else than a 3rd or 4th option for that spot.

The defense worked well, even without Puyol. Out defensive system is ok. But we need to fix the left DB. Gio is doing well so we need to know is he will stay next year, but even if he does, we need someone else for that spot because Gabri fails on that side. He defends well but when he has to attack, he only uses his right foot so he has problems when crossing the ball.

This season we’ve build up a good team and we’ll classify for CL, now we have to build a winning team for next season.

 

[northstar]

yes 2 forwards, and some more depth for midfield and defense. Another good CB would help also, and Puyol can be at right back more so he can attack a little more also.

 

[Paulo Da Silva]

Barca have a great team.we need to put the loss to celtic behind us. Maybe we should sign Robinho as a forward and Kezman as a striker. For the midfield we can sign Deco, word in Portugal is that Porto and Barca have already agreed a deal for Deco last season, but it was decided that Deco would stay one more year, so prepare to have Deco on your eam next year

imagine this lineup:

Valdes
Puyol
Oleguer
Marquez
Brockenhorst
Davids
xavi
deco
Ronaldinho
Saviola or Robinho
Kluivert or Zezman

awesome team

 

[Paulo Da Silva]

double post sorry

I would sign Evra of Monaco for the left back. I saw him against real madrid and he was the best player of Monaco IMO. Also Luque of Depor. A striker(I don't know who). If there is still money(I doubt it) Deco or Van Der Vaart, although before VDV I would prefer Iniesta. If there is enough money, Milito would be a very good option too.

If we are able to sell some player as Overmars or Rochemback then there will be more money.

Puyol in the right is a good idea. Evra-Oleguer-Márquez-Puyol... great

Those would be my changes for the next season. Also I would renew to Davids(2 years), Reiziger(1 year), Cocu(1 year) and Luis Enrique(1 year). I would say bye to V. Bronkhorst, Kluivert, Overmars, Rüstü and Gerard.


BTW, Puyol will be injured 12 days . Knowing him, he will be ok in 9 or 10 days.

PSG make Ronaldinho relevation.

http://www.skysports.com/skysports/article/0,,7-1129099,00.html

The impending investigation into Paris Saint Germain's transfers has revealed that Manchester United had agreed a pre-contract agreement with Ronaldinho and his agent.
United narrowly missed out on luring the talented Brazilian to England from PSG - with Barcelona stealing in to sign the player at the last minute.

Sir Alex Ferguson has suggested that the problem with completing the deal lay with Ronaldinho's agent and brother Roberto Assis.

However, current PSG chairman Francis Graille - who was not in place at the time of the controversial move - has insisted that United had already signed an agreement with Ronaldinho that he would consider the English club first.

I am not concerned by [the investigation],” insisted Graille .

”Since I have arrived at the club the management is in the clear.

”We didn't consider the pre-agreement signed by Ronaldinho and his brother and agent Rober Assis with Manchester United.

”If some blunders were made before then we will take responsibility.

”We will make every effort to aid the police with their enquiries.”

Maybe if Barca get Robinho, he could be to them what Kaka has been to the Rossonerri!

 

[jani]

naa

Robinho would most likely be what Denilson is to Betis

Im basing my judgement on what Brazillians themselves say

 

[chatterbox]

I remember watching the Under 21 World Cup or soemthing like that and it seemed like Kaka was a set up man and Robinho was a striker...maybe it was the other way around !

It might not be such a bad thing that we're out because without Davids in midfield ,we probably wouldn't win the competition anyway so it's kinda better that we're out sooner so that we can concentrate on La Liga.6 points behind and 9 games to go.
We can still be champions.Valencia can hit a poor run and can lose matches unexpectedly ,so that's our chance.
Real Madrid look like they're trying to lose the Liga.They can also lose where they usually win ,they have played thru a lot of matches this season that they shouldn't have won so their luck must run out eventually.They have a hard away match against Depor and Barca at home.Plus they are in the CL so ,as they'll probably eliminate Monaco ,they will be saving themselves for hard CL games and will slip in the league.
Depor also has a return leg vs Milan.The only title contender playing 1 competition is Barca and that's our chance.9 games ,27 points for grabs and only 6 behind.A lot can happen.

 

[chatterbox]

I think that you could get a maximum of 20 points so it depends on whether Real can get around 15(realistic- but like you said law of averages will catch up) which would mean that they win

Barca needs an all around striker, not a kid like Robinho. Prso could also be good, i'm not convinced that Trez is what Barca needs, but before him i mae sure i have Luque, Davids. And Barca need to sign quality and not quantity, this year the signed like 7 players and only 3 are playing (Maqrqueza, Ronaldinho and Luis Garcia).
