I like Cuenca..

Thiago's goal against Man U was so nice! A beautiful shot to see, I can't wait to see how he plays this season

i guess everyone oso cannot wait to see thiago play for next season. sabar2..sanchez oso kena sabar.

Well I think Thiago can replace Xavi when he's retired. We don't need Cesc fer that.

Replacing Xavi? He still has a lot to learn though. Xavi's great because he knows how to play simple in order to keep possession, hence reducing errors. Thiago need to include this simplicity into his game.

Sporting close in on Barca's Jeffren

I still think fabregas will end up moving to barcelona. He can make very good medium to long passes like xavi. Maybe he will need to learn to keep possession like xavi

I think it will be hard for anyone to play as simple and effective as Xavi. I think Thiago will add another threat to the squad, but I do not think they are the same style player.

It is important for our youngsters to learn that ability. I think the motivation is very tempting; those who succeeds is guaranteed of 1st team slot for around 7-8 years or so. No matter who the new guy would be, Thiago, Sergi Roberto, Samper, or Cesc, it is compulsory to have direct replacement for Xavi.

If you have watches Thiago closely for the past few years, you would know that Thiago is no where close to Xavi. Even Iniesta is not similar to Xavi. Iniesta and Thiago are the more adventurous type, Thiago being hte more aggressive one.

Xavi was never like any of those two.
Thiago plays more risky because he doesn't keep the ball close to him like Iniesta does. Xavi hardly ever dribbles besides his 360.

Xavi also plays deep. He sometimes starts circulating from our half, that is somewhere where I can't imagine Thiago doing as he is more prone to losing the ball.

Thiago just doesn't have it in him. He has the jogo bonito in him. It's unlike him to be like Xavi. I prefer him just hte way he is. But just play him in a more advance midfield position where losing the ball is a lot safer.

Chivas Guadalajara 4 - 1 Barca.

Anybody watched the game? What happened?

Barca got bored of handing out defeats/trashing hence want to try receiving end

what to say.. chiva 2nd goal really awesome...

Nope, it's a sign of us declining. We've lost 2 competitive matches on the trot, the latest heavily against a team of the Segunda standard. Must be an encouraging sign for haters

Hmm just a friendly, take it easily! The true game(La Liga) starts soon!

watched in office. 1-1. got some work to do..later on come...jadi 1-4

i think they on holiday mood that why like play2 only..not so serious.

we will hav a big game soon right? against our arch enemy real madrid in spanish super cup.

2 transfers have been confirmed in the past few days: Jeffren to Sporting Lisbon (3.5ME) and Oriol to Chelsea (5ME). Good luck to both of them
