Pedro will be a starter in any other team besides Barca though!

Yes because Barcelona is a model that needs only the best...
Pedro should go to Arsenal or maybe Everton.

homesteady:


What you people are doing is not good oh

Have you people forgotten during our last Sociedad match, when he was just subbed in and scored a beautiful goal that finally settled the match?

Hehehehehehe... Another joke of the day. Sociedad that didnt look like a threat all day. All of a sudden Pedro's goal brought calmness. Well, okay ooooo. If you say so.

Na fine goal be that sha make person talk true. But that one no mean say...

sebod:

I doubt if we can ever see any player that would fit in perfectly into Xavi's shoes.we can only get a replacement that would come with his own idea. Xavi is Xavi and can't ever be equalled.

Gbam! Anyone dreaming of having Xavi replaced will dream forever. We need a veey good player to man that Xavi's role or position, not his replacement. Xavi is Xavi, and then the rest.

Besides, Enrique's game is not centred purely on possession. So, having a hybrid player(who is possession based and attacking wise also) like the ones available on the market would be good to go as we don't play full-time tiki-taka anymore.

homesteady:


Reus plays mostly from the wing!
Kagawa should also be an attacking midfielder!

Yaya is a box to box midfielder!

If barcelona were using the 4-2-3-1 formation, Xavi will play the same position that Ilkay plays!

Ilkay is a proper holding midfielder! Barcelona lacks one now, thats why whenever any team is playing with too much pressure against us, Enrique brings in Xavi, because he knows Iniesta is not a real holding midfielder!

You are right. Spot on.

philfearon:

Pedro will be a starter in any other team besides Barca though!

Haba! In Madrid? Starter? Na wa you ooooooo. How about in Bayern Munchen? Starter? Ahead of who and who? Ribery? Robben?

Take am easy talk this kind thing next time. You fit say any EPL team. Although Chelsea no go easy like that.

honeric01:

oga, Xavi wont play any 4 ..stop this one already.. how many times do you see xavi tackle? even Iniesta does better in that.

we cant play 4:2:3:1 and if we are to play that, then Xavi won't be on d starting line up.

buttomline..Xavi and Gungodan are 2 different players.

enough said.

Haa! Is this stuff rocket science?
Don't you know the position of a 4? A 4 is a defensive midfielder like Busquet ! I never said Ilkay or Xavi play the no 4 position

I told you that in Dortmund 4-2-3-1- formation, he is their Fabregas/Modric while they still have their Matic/kross!

It seems you are thinking that Enrique idea of playing 2 DM is the only way to play a double pivot! Busquet and Xavi will make a good pivot!

Did you even read the article I posted?

how can he be their fabregas when fagregas plays behind costa?

does Gudongan play behind immobile or ramos?

remember they both play the same formation?

you funny mennn.

This is refreshingly funny.
Keep it up.

And who the hell is "Mitty" ??
Is he the Armenian guy?

honeric01:


Surely but do you buy the idea that gundogan can do similar job?

I am not so sure he can!

That's just it.
Some players leave their footprint in a team and could never be replaced. There's never a replacement for 'Dihno, neither would there be for Messi and same for Xavi. Each player with his own ideas and packages. Let's just get a very good player who can hold on well on the ball, dictate play from the deep and have a very good eye on giving a final pass. One of the attributes of Xavi that stands him out? That millimetric final pass that would never catch a player on offside and still drops at the exact foot of the receiver! #respect Xavi!

......and Xavi finally announces his departure from Barcelona.
He stated his intention to play at a low level and being able to develop his coaching career in Qatar as reasons for leaving.

Goodbye to the greatest central midfielder of all time, the greatest player in the history of Spanish football and arguably the best midfielder to wear the Barca jersey.
I can't wait to see you come back to coach the team. #a living legend.

Wow!

No player can replace Xavi...


I repeat no player...


The Greatest Central Midfielder Of All Time...

Funny how you guyz think Pedro is trash now, not all player can be a Saurez or Leo

I've seen better players.
Even Mikel Obi can do a better job than Xavi.

honeric01:


Sergio Roberto and Suarez plays similar position?

Suarez is more of an attacking midfielder, sucks at defending more Roberto is more defensive.

Pedro and super sub shouldn't be in the same sentence..i am yet to see any game pedro changed from the bench lol.

Alright bro..

Bruhh! Lol. I rest my case!

Bruhh! Lol. I rest my case!

We talking Dennis Suarez right?
The one currently in Sevilla huh?

Fabregas plays behind Oscar?
Watched the game against west brom?
funny menn!

Kris Voakes: Is €30m really worth the moral bankruptcy? As part of the greatest Barcelona side there has ever been, Xavi has gained untold riches. He doesn’t need one cent of the money. This season alone he has raked in a salary of more than €9m. At this point, one could move the decimal point in his bank account and he would hardly notice. If it is about extending his career, there are thousands of more worthy clubs across the world that would jump at the chance to employ him. Why Qatar? Why promote this World Cup? It is a frankly baffling decision. Xavi should have exited Barcelona in the most memorable of fashions, being hailed as one of the greatest players of his time and an icon of which the football world could be proud. Instead, he heads off on the kind of self-serving mission it is impossible to justify. Goal.com

Can you please stop this show of ignorance?
It's very embarrassing!

You claim to know tactics, yet I'm putting one right in your face and you can't still interpret it!

Oscar plays in the hole for Chelsea, that's the No 10 role(attacking midfielder), the same position James play for real madrid!

Remove Cech and Remy, put Courtois and Costa, that's Chelsea standard lineup!

What a pathetic attention seeking write up! He can go to anywhere he chooses to.

goodbye xavi

Spot on bro,he always does that. But to an extent there is a connectivity to some points he raised. Why xavi nor fit retire for barca? Then look elsewhere to develop his coaching career,afterwards come back to barca as a coach. Im a barca fan,just my two cents.

He still wants to be playing regular which can not be guaranteed at Barca anymore. He knows he needs to allow the younger ones grow as he's not ready to hang his boot yet like Puyol. Even Pep left for Xavi to take over.
