Hi guys, been missing for more than half a season now LOL. Honestly, I don't feel like such a football fan anymore, missing so many games.

I'm not sure whether it's been discussed yet here, but I wanna ask people here, has Pep actually [b]signed[\b] the contract with Bayern? Or did he only give verbal agreement via his agent? Either way, its been rumored that Bayern has offered (and Pep agreed supposedly) 3 years contract to him.

I don't know about you guys, but I really feel awkward about that. Its like being sad or something, as when he was here he only accepted 1 year contract. Signing only 1 year contracts with the club of his life, but 3 years for direct competitor in UCL? 

Oh thanks to sepulse for posting the clasico videos I knew somebody would do it here. Although one of them has been deleted...

Regarding transfer rumors, Adriano is not going anywhereee. I love him

Goalscorers list that I grabbed from BarcaForum below. How many of you are members there or lurks there? 

No offense to valdes fan, i respected valdes as he is our main goal keeper, he is a good goalkeeper but not a great goalkeeper. Yes cassilas, buffon are also makes mistake but most of the tym they guard their goal well. Valdes is kinda like barthez, he can be great one match, but terrible in d another.

This season tito playstyle make alot of goals for us but also leave rooms for opponent to counter attack. Judging how many goals we conceded this season, it is clear that valdes wasnt that great. Previous season under pep, we played much more tiki taka n hold the possesion of the ball better than this year, n during that tym valdes really dont need to do anything, but wit tito play style, he is exposed to more attack from the opponent strikers. N he proved himself by just being a good keeper but not great.

Btw i kinda frustrated with this lost as i was hoping we win the la liga title undefeated like juve did lst season. But past is past, hope we perform better nex match, this match luck wasnt on our side. We could hav score at least 4 goals during the first half n win the match. But too bad, n with pique red card, i knew we will lost n we did.

If his 1 on 1 is so good, why couldn't he bail Barcelona out of defeat last year when Ramires and Torres both ran wild at Camp Nou?

I can barely keep count of the mistakes he made in big games - most recent El Classico games come to mind immediately.

In last year's Spanish cup, he failed to recognize the danger and received the ball with a very poor control, leading to the dispossession by Angel Di Maria and conceded a goal. In the next Classico that ended 2-2, he was beaten near post by Cristiano Ronaldo, which was not even a fast ball to begin with, terrible reflex.

An even older El Classico game, he passed the ball to Angel Di Maria (yet again) and let Benzema score within a minute, then there's the Espanyol game some time ago where the same thing happened. What keeper in the right mind will commit these mistakes in a game of such dimension? His distribution is piss poor and his failure to maintain composure when pressured has failed him from time to time.

He was massively overrated or was he overrated to begin with? Nowhere near good enough for Barca as he was only made good by the 10 men in front of him.

Already signed.

Pep's reason for the 1 year rolling contract during his Barca days were so that he can quit when he feels he is no longer able to lead / motivate his players. I think it was an admirable act. Most managers would want stability of a long contract, and the possibility of a huge payoff if the club decide to sack them before their contract expire.

Yeah, since then, Adriano has came out to say he wants to continue playing in Barca. But it's hard to resist the big money of PSG. We'll have to wait and see.

Lucky that Valdes' leaving for good.
