it's not me who said that....it's Pep himself.....i read that yesterday or the day before.

Like this: 'You have to know that Ibra is like a thorn in between the skin and flesh of your finger. It's painful, has to be taken out and get rid of'?

If yes source please.

not that....that's my own comment

'the problem isn't the professionalism in him but the person' <------- these are Pep's words

come to think again, when pep decided to sub ibra and put pique as a cf in last season match against inter, i hav a feeling that it could be the turning point between pep n ibra relationship...

after that spending spree last season for ibra, this wat happen now really make us look like a jokes..got to swallowed that i suppose, we just hav to do without him n i believe el guaje capable of doing that given injuries free really on ourside..

i found the source http://foreign.peacefmonline.com/sports/201008/74903.php

Guardiola then suggested that it is Ibra's personality rather than his football that has caused the rift.

"There's always a player and a person and the person comes first. I am coach of Barcelona, not coach of one player.

"I have no problems with his behaviour in training. He was an example of professionalism at work, but there is a person and that always comes first."

Watafak..if this really happen,we should have a prob if villa was injured.put our goal fate on bojan?well...

based on ibra's '6 months 2 times speaking' comment, i think it was months before that when they were eliminated by Sevilla in the copa del rey. Pep doesn't like losing and they were winning everything up till then. Well, that's just my opinion

Then its obvious its not because of personality. He said Ibra showed good professionalism. What else Pep would asked from his personality? Become pious?

IMO its just because he doesn't have the mentality to adapt to our gameplay. He is not bad as a person like what you're trying to made him look like. He got along his teammates really well, and did you watch the celebration in CWC final?

not gonna happen mate, i thnk pep gonna play messi as a striker, and pedro and iniesta winger
i hope barca will buy another good striker or else, we'r gonna have problem if villa injured.

masch arrived

i still dunno how barca gonna fit macherano into the team

Busquets is better and has better composure in his game. Hope pep wont drop busquets to the bench but then again why would Pep sign a 20 million player just to sit on the bench

finally masch got what he asking for..

busi is better? i dont thnk so, both have advantages.
maybe busi has better composure and passer, but in term of tackling, strength and aggresion masch has the edge.
imo pep will rotate both of them

I've managed to catch Barca B debut in La Segunda. We were playing away at Celta Vigo, and the kids won 2-1.

Have to say that they impressed in their debut, and it is such a good sign of course. The inter-play between the players was totally reminiscence of the first team. And Fontas' goal was the standout goal.

Having said that, I think there are many improvements that should be worked on, if they are gonna survive the season. Defensive play in particular.

1st eleven: Mino, Planas, Fontas©, Bartra, Romeu, Thiago, JDS, Nolito, Soriano, Benja

Couldn't catch the substitutions due to bad conection

ibra is gone??...why the board making the squad thinner????

What's worse? The deal is actually consisting of a year loan deal, with Milan having the option to make the move permanent at the end of the season, with mere 24 ME.

As a guy rightly commented in TB; Barca are more than a club - a bloody charity!

now we know why there UNICEF written on the shirt..

heard somewhere that rossel want barca to use more youth that their produce then buying people(actually, rossel is really economical person)....i really hope barca won't turn up to be 2nd athletico bilbao

Hopefully, Masch will do well at Barca.

Don't worry, we won't. Catalans are just too proud of themselves to shut their door to foreigners.

Hopefully, and he has the best guy to help him adapt in Messi. Hope he enjoys working with Busi
