pep decided to called up 4 players for coming month,

1)gai assulin
2)vasquez
3)thiago
4)jonathon

guess we wont be signing anybody this jan..but who care ..

*time for thiago to show his telent

No Jeffren?

out injured again, 2 bad..

How long?

could be up to 5 weeks

hoho. tml game without some key players. no messi, iniesta, keita.
our first XI?

valdes, puyol, pique, alves, abidal, toure, busquets, xavi, henry, pedro, ibra ?

No Toure also. I assume Jonathan will start to replace Iniesta. Henry, Pedro & Ibra looks fine to me but we need speed. May be Pep can pick Bojan instead of Henry?

eh ya. i forgot abt toure ANC. isnt marquez is a DM before?

Rafa and Pique can play as DM, even Pique can play as striker lol

Let pique become a targetman

also can watch Barca in HD

lol. good.so barca dont need any new signing this january.

I prefer Marquez play as DM, where at least we can utilize his passes more efficiently. He was a nightmare as a CB this season.

Guys, for those who have supported Barca since Van Gaal days or before, and would like to reflect the 'good' old, pre-Laporta days, you might want to check this thread out

My reaction after reading it:



Its a good read for those who became fans during or after Ronaldinho's era too. History is fun to read sometimes

nice one
agree with him on Riquelme, i tot Riquelme dead trough pass good for Barca but he really slow, keep delay the ball and make the attack become slow

maybe iniesta playing tonight. yeah!

Yeap you are right. But I do think Barca at the time also had huge potential to be successful as the team we have today. Players like Cocu, Bronckhorst, Saviola and Kluivert were really top class talents. Not to mention Riquelme's playmaking ability, and it is wise to build a team around him. We had Puyol and Xavi coming up from La Masia too. Plus the strong financial strength we had at the time. It was difficult for us to do wrong at the time.

But we did actually. IMHO, it was all because of the idiot Gaspart

Good news indeed. Villareal have always been our toughest rival. So we need as many fit players as possible.

I heard that Barca will organize a celebration and bring all 6 trophies onto the pitch before the game. And ex players like Eto'o, Caceres and Sylvinho are all invited to come. Caceres and Sylvinho couldn't make it iinm. Am wondering, will Eto'o come?

Still tracking for our mascherano?

Pep may still be interested. But surely he won't sign anybody during January. Not sure if we will try in the summer either. For now, the focus in Barca camp is all about the upcoming election, renewal of Pep's contract, and the 6 trophies. So far the only name that is being touted as a marquee signing for every election candidates is Cesc Once the election is over, then I believe Barca will decide to renew their interest in Masch or not.

i just hope Eto`o come tonight. well, lets see.. and for the game, im looking forward for our La Masia player to show their talent.

come to where tonight?
let see what we got without Keita and Yaya

My prediction for tonight match

-----------Victor-----------
-Dani--Geri--Puyol--Eric-
----------Busi--------------
-----Xavi------Andres-----
-Pedro----Ibra-----Titi----
