FC Barcelona Thread 2006/2007

lol Karembeu, id fight you for his Mrs

We should start a thread about our clubs worst signings. I think both our teams would be close ...

That would be a looong thread.

Barça beat the 76ers yesterday 104-99, the first time a club from the ACB beats a club from the NBA!

we'd win: Cristanval.

He was astoundingly bad.. completely at a loss with the ball at his feet..

I believe there was a story when Gaspart was trying to sign Buffon but it didn't work out. Then he signed Cristanval the next day without having a clue about him at all. I'm not very clear on the particulars though. Anyone remember this story?

Rochemback was something special.
First of all, who convinced him that he can play football???
And second, the amount that we payed for him...i think it was near 20mil. marks od dollars, i cant remember.

Yeah. I didn't watch the game though.

Why have you changed your name Cule?

I only had the numbers because "cule" is a common nick on forums but nobody in here has it so it's me

*for me

Ahh



Cesc>Iniesta

You know us Barça fans can't take any criticism, if you don't apologize for that I'll hunt you down when I'm in London and make you apologize

Sorry, cesc>iniesta

Iniesta is a great player

Apparently Laporta "jokingly" said to the Boca president over dinner "Don't sell Gago to Madrid, eh? We're interested in him too".

Has anyone here watched Gago play? Could we maybe play him in Xavi's deeper role, with Xavi/Iniesta moving further forward to replace Deco?

Ask Barrilete

All I've seen heard are what people on here have regurgitated.

He is allegedly a superb deep lying defensive midfielder/playmaker - Riquelme but with better physical attributes and less skill and end product.

Not sure if you need him to be honest - its a strange one.

You don't want to turn into Chelsea

True, that's why I have my doubts because I'm in the same boat as you - never watched him, only heard 2nd hand reports of how he plays. And based on that, I don't see how he'll fit into the team.

Mascherano is all of a sudden my new no. 1 transfer target

Would do well in Spain

May be lacking in the CL a bit though - your centre would seriously lack heading ability

this was like Chelsea being beaten in the States when they played their first game of the pre-season, though. The sixers weren't there to play a competitive match. Still a good result. If anything it'll boost moral at Barça.

i see him play every other week.

In a word he is a classic #5, the closest thing to Renondo their is

Who Mascherano?

Hasn't looked too good at WH - certainly not Redondo quality

I think its Gago he's talkin about

I would love it if Gago moved to us mainly because motta i injury-prone and so is edmilson and plus eddy's in his 30's so gago would be a good replacement

I have heard alot of people say Gago is alot more like Guardiola than Redondo.

I WANT Poulsen.. we don't need a creative defensive midfielder.. we need someone who can take out the other team's main player, work 100% the full match, and be really good at heading and tackling.

we already have Xavi, Iniesta, Deco and maybe Jefren as the creative types.. we need some STEEL..

Sevilla won't set go of Poulsen, could Mascherano/Lucho be satisfactory option B for you

anybody else (other than Cule) coming to London in 12 days time?

River - Boca this weekend -- tune in if you can and see Gago in action for yourself!

Mascherano could be.. but I am a little bit concerned that he doesn't seem very good in the air.. Lucho is a good player, but I don't know what position he is best at: central midfield, defensive midfield, winger etc. A utility player IMO. I would like to see a Gattuso-type player at the club and I am not too concerned about whether the player can do smart little dribbles or flicks, since that wouldn't be his role any way.
