Left to me,Xavi should be long gone..What's the use in still keeping him again? To start benching Rakitic and start playing politics with their LA Masia stuff again?
We already got enough mid fielders who are young and vibrant to deal with... Having Xavi is really gonna stunt many Players progress in our ranks......Game time!!

Austeenx:

`Yeah, players like Rafinha.

Tval: ...

ddippset: iam overjoyed with this mathiues deal. the only snag is that we spent 20 mil but he can only put in 2 years, we should have paid like 8 mil but trust me the guy is good. he will serve us very well for 2 years. by 2016 bartra can step in.

sebod:
I beg to disagree bro! Having Xavi around is still pretty okay for us. It all depends on the coach's ability to talk to him to accept some roles on the bench while coming up when need be. There are games where we will need to keep possession and thicken the midfield when leading, something baba can still do well. The only thing missing is that defence-splitting-millimetric passes. And more so,the younger ones can still benefit from him greatly. Having him around is very okay by me. A living legend!

ebdib:

You don't know this for sure
You don't know if he'll adapt to our high line
You don't know if he's pacy enough
You don't know if he'll work well with pique
He's ageing man. That's always a negative. Always.

ddippset: thats why every signing is a gamble. all the doubts you raised above you never know for sure until your new man plays with the team. besides i assure you that jeremy mathieus is very pacy. about his age i agree with you and that was why i said that you dont pay 20 mil for a player who cant give you at least 4 years but at 30+, jeremy will give us 2 years. the mistake has been made, let us manage 2 years.

ebdib:

That's true sha
Hope he can give us two solid years

philfearon:
We will Get four Solid years!!

Your signature says you're an idealist.

There's the answer

philfearon:
Argumentum ad Hominem!

Pique(2013): We can't go out and spend €100m because of one trophy less season like Real Madrid

Suarez(27) and Mathieu(30) = €100m

Mcleo007:

Are you a Philosopher?

philfearon: Barca's Summer deals so far:
Transfer Budget: €150m

Bought
Suarez = €84m
Mathieu= €20m
Rakitic = €15m
Ter Stegen = €13m
Bravo = €10m
Total = €142m...

Sales and loan outs
Sanchez = €45m
Fabregas = €35m
Jonathan Does Santos = €2m
Bojan Krkic = €7.5 or there about(£3.5m to be specific)
Tello(Loan for 2yrs valued at €1.8m per each Year spell...) = €3.6m
Total = €93m
******************************-*****************
Total Budget - Total Buy. = Balance
€150 - €142m. = €8m

Balance. + Total Sales = Total net Balance
€8m. + €93m. = €101m...
************************************************
If You ask me,i will say we have ate our Cake and still had it.....All thanks to our beloved hated Andoni Zubizarreta and co!!

Suarez ban to be reduced by CAS
www.m.goal.com/x/en/news/4980341

dmcdad:
To be reduced? There is no guarantee yet. They just accepted to take the case up and to give a feedback by the 9th of August. It could be reduced but not to be reduced like its guaranteed.

Goal always using misleading headlines .

philfearon:
@bolded, That's what makes it newsworthy bro...

dmcdad:
Yeah of course... Making people to click their links.

October 25/26 is the first Classico match. And as it stands, Suárez's ban will last till the 25th and will be free from the 26th.

I pray the ban is either reduced or revoked entirely. At least for the club and other activities. The country ban can stand for as long as was given initially.
