The Barcelona Thread

[milad]

yea, winning pichichi doesnt automatically mean you are amazing. dani geezer won it last year. a strikers quality is in his conversion/chance rate.

right after i wrote that i realized that I think a new forward is much more necessary then a new keeper. Completely agree on the Eto'o part, that's exactly was I was hinting at but you were brutally honest. Zlatan would be great but don't ever see it happening... the only names I've heard brought up are Villa, Torres, Benzema, and Tevez.

who do you guys think is on their way out after this season??? I can pretty much guarantee that Gudi and Jorquera will be gone. who else?? Abidal maybe, Sylvinho?? Hleb has been a complete waste and should be released for whatever price. Eto'o could be on his was out which is fine with me because he is past his peak in my opinion. There are some rumors of Almeria wanting to buy Bojan. Opinions????

I would love for Zlatan to come to Barca, he has repeated said he wants to leave because Inter isn't successful in Europe and the league is no more a challenge for him.
Villa and Torres would be great as well.
I think Hleb, Etoo, Gudi and Abidal will surely leave at the end of the season.
I really wanted to see more of Hleb in the lineup but what a waste.

anyone thinking what Im thinking?: starting Bojan instead of the brainless Etoo in the final?
I find it hard to believe Pepe will do that though.

anyway Villa and Ibra are great forwards that fit Barca well.

All that seemed to matter in the end was that a horrible, bus-parking, anti-football, ref-chasing monstrosity of a side had been thwarted in Europe, once again

I hope we don't get Zlatan; never fan of his and he's a perennial choker ... I'd take Villa or Torres over him in a heartbeat. We definitely need a new left-back, Abidal didn't and doesn't fit the bill. I'd like Evra, Lahm or Clichy. But no way their clubs will let them go. Perhaps our best go is Lahm, cause Bayern won't be doing anything in the Champions League for a while and Bundesliga has fallen off big time (this century at least, so far)

I'm never comfortable with Valdes in between the posts, so I'd like to see someone new.

[shayan20]

Zlatan is amazing imo.
His technique and creativity suits barca very well.

we are campeon!

we are campeon!

No we're not.

Barcelona 3-3 Villareal

Crap defense but utterly disgusting refereeing. Abidal got sent off AGAIN for doing absolutely nothing. Nihat dived and got them a PK. Villareal are scum and were diving all over the place and Dani got a yellow. 92nd minute Lorente ties it up at 3-3. Shame. Villareal's first goal was offside and Barcelona had a legit goal by Xavi ruled offside.

Today sucked, we could have drank santana champ in the Camp Nou. :bs:

Yeah we should have won, the ref made 2 huge mistakes that cost us to celebrate championship at home.
we need 1 point in next 3 games to finish the job.
next game i think is against mallorca away.

[50Toman]

Iniesta got injured and may miss the CL final!!!

SAD SAD news, i really hope he makes it. Our defence is bad as it is atm, we need all the attacking power we have.

[shayan20]

well if we miss both Iniesta and henry then its good bye UCl dream!
so unlucky both of them were doing brilliant recently!!!

The reports that I have read haven't confirmed how bad the injuries are... until i see a report that confirms a certain amount of time i'm not going to assume anything negative. Even though I have a gut feeling that Henry and Iniesta will be ready for that game, especially Henry.

i told you guys barca has a habit of screwing themselves. i would be embarrassed if i was a barca fan that its the 35th week and you STILL did not secure the title. wow...
