honeric01: Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said he thought that the Barcelona backline lacked a certain height. Piqué and Mascherano's defensive partnership struggled to dominate in the air, but believes Jérémy Mathieu's arrival brings those much needed centimeters to the team. With Piqué and Mathieu joining forces at centre-back, Barcelona are not only as tall, but are taller than some of La Liga and Europe's biggest clubs.

Barcelona are now equal to some of those tougher defenCes, like Borussia Dortmund's, and to those teams that are very dangerous in the air, like Bayern, Chelsea and United. Barça's new boss is seriously considering defending corner kicks and free-kicks with a mixed defence and that is why Luis Enrique insisted so much in bringing in Jérémy Mathieu.

honeric01: This is why i am not worried that we aren't buying all these overpriced players. the 20m we paid for Matheu to me is not a waste, we bought experience and height in one package (what we need badly at the back).

I dont even think we need any more defenders (Maybe one RB incase Alves leaves).

philfearon: And I thought we have Puyol in our ranks? Is his experience a waste ? Can't he teach Peeps like Bagnack ? and after all the lessons with Bartra,why is the board still skeptical of Bartra? I have said it before,I will prefer Bartra to leave than to waste his talent on the Bench.....Pique is lost for good!! His brilliance now comes in glimpses,and that's not what we need...We want consistency and Pique can't offer that again...
Yet every signing is being regarded as Pique's new defence partner!!

glitest: Well....She asked for some advice on NL, so she must have a tad bit of guilt I'm her....Its now up to her to yield to majority's advice, which is for her to reject this and any further offers from the guy.

glitest: Its been a while babe..

honeric01: Enrique surely knows what he needs and i believe he's on track.

Why use our funds do gamble na?

glitest: Hmm!!.....You should know receiving the gift does mean..

1...You are officially a cheater.
2. Your relationship with your Bf is done for good.
3. You are now a THOT, cos accepting he's gifts does mean you have accepted he's proposal of becoming he's Nigerian based side chick.
Imagine the amount of guilt that would hunt you for the rest of your life.... You might be in desperate need of a car now, but wouldn't you have survived, if you never met him..No bi so ?.

alekside: Hahahaha... easy with the hype.

honeric01: I am getting irritated reading some comments from people who claim they know better than Zubi, Enrique and the board...

honeric01: So Barca should buy Benatia for 60m? tomorrow now, they'll start insulting Zubi.

Why not buy the guy for 80m + Messi?

philfearon: I don't believe Marquinho is better than Bartra...
Barca board are playing Russian Roulette with our defence,that's just the problem...In fact,everything is being played with their..More like they are all clueless or they know exactly what bad they are doing...
I try to read on all barca blogs I see,and check polls..The Barca fans in Barcelona itself have been jeering and wondering why the hell is Pique still a Barca player? my answer is = Shakira and Marketing logistics...But without Doubt,Bartra was our best defender last season,and he has shown that time and time again....But Barca will be very stupid to shell out €43m for Marquinho..For what?
Varane is not up to that Amount,and yet Varane is better than him.Even if he is for the future,so what?

diggz: If MOU no win champions league,epl n fa cup,all in the name of having my kinda players,na songo go punish am. Sold PVA brought in Filipe,now drogba came back just for lukaku to b thrown under the bus I rili don't get it anymore Abi Torres dey shag abramovich ni ?

Bimfo: Its only on Nairaland that Lukaku has gone oo..

I cant see it anywhere else.. I mean, Official sites are not saying it..

coogar: no winger can be as worse as valencia in the league. it's just that english fans love players who work hard, this is why valencia have a career in england.

it doesn't matter if he's effective or not. run hard, pass hard, tackle hard and english fans would show their love. this is why gareth barry is far more adulated than carrick or cleverley. it's the british culture & this is why they fail in international tournaments.

an english fan will tell you kuyt is better than berbatov....



the last thing i read from you was you won't join the debate nor respond to me ....why are you addressing me then? does your finger type faster than your brain or someone else types for you?

Krasid: Why should we be concerned about friendlies when we have enough tournaments to compete in next season.

Krasid: Are just what?

coded01: Real Madrid Pre-season started on a losing note...
