The Barcelona Thread

[PersianMadrid7]

Tevez, Villa, Torres are all options on the table.
all of them fit in perfectly.

but goal.com is reporting that barca in interested in getting ibra and giving 70mil + etoo to Inter.

I don't see Ibra or Torres coming for sure. They are way too expensive + they already established long term positions at their clubs. The goal.com eto - ibra deal is such a joke, like the other 90% of their daily bs.

Villa will leave, unless Valencia fix their financial problems. I think Tevez is the most realistic option, unless Man City jump in and pay 10x the amount...

Repped!!! beautifully said. I don't think everyone should be a Barca fan, obviously because there is no fun in that, but i don't understand how people can hate Barcelona. Great to hear non-fans of the club showing respect and understanding what Barca represents. Hopefully our successes this season can help more people understand.

Yeah, it's not like I want it to become a bandwagon, but I respect Barca's supremacy in a different way than I would United's... obviously being an Arsenal fan may seem to put me in a bias, but I would say that Barca has a philosophy of their role in society and football in a way that is beautiful. Play beautifully, never sacrifice ethics, WIN. That sums up Barca's season this year: an achievement in realizing this philosophy and keeping supremacy.

Teams like this year's Barca, the Invincibles era Arsenal, Spain in Euro 2008 show the Chelseas of this world that style can amount to substance and supremacy if done right.

Yeah I dont see Ibra's rumor to be any authentic at all.
Tevez and Messi, 2 Argentines, it sounds like a deadly combination, definitely better than Etoo.

wow, I love it.
I support whichever team that tries to play FOOTBALL.
Nothing is more sweeter in football than seeing an Anti-football team like Chelsea this season, and Rangers (at the UEFA Cup final) being beaten by stylish teams that have character

Exactly, it tastes even sweeter considering that Euro04 and WC06 were both won by teams that played Chelsea style ultra defensive football that made me personally very dissapointed in modern football, but with the current spanish wave that was started by Spain at Euro08 and now with mighty Barca hopefully carrying the flame and continuing the success, hopefully the negative football era has totally come to an end and the next WC winners will hopefully be an attacking team.

well pep used many changes and it resulted in a loss.
Etoo is garbage, he's F***ing pissing me off every single game.

[50Toman]

etoo missed so many chances that it aint funny no more.

its unbelievable he has scored so many goals this season. most of his goals were completely created by the genius of Messi/Xavi/Henry. the crazy thing is that he should probably have 45-50 goals this season. Just in the past three games he has had 5-10 clear cut opportunities. if we are to win this champions league final then he sure as hell can't be wasting opportunities the way he has been lately. Eto'o is definitely on the decline. Ever since his injury he has lost a lot of pace, aggressiveness, goalscorers instinct, and his movement off the ball is poor. Barca imo needs to invest in a center forward this season.

villa??!?!
i think we should give eto and a large sum of money to valencia for david villa

[shayan20]

He's the Cameroonian version of Borhani
he better get his act together cause the UCL Final is in 10 days!!

He's scored 29 goals but he's missed 50 more 200% chances normally any striker scores.
Its unbelievable. he just shoots at the keeper when he's one on one with him!
