Spot on.

what about Halilovic?

I also wish he's promoted. But I doubt it really as we are looking outside for Xavi's replacement bearing in mind that we have Rafinha and Roberto too in the squad. He might end up being loaned out for at least a season.

honeric01:
I concur too, he plays almost like Thiago albeit he's not as strong as Thiago but less card prone like Thiago.

i just want us to look into this.

i like the guy o..

Honestly the guy is good, his ability to take on a player, give a final pass and score brilliant goals with power shoot is second to none. Imagine playing him alongside Rakitic when don Iniesta is having a break.

Ronaldinho: Coutinho would be a perfect fit for Barcelona http:///gun1PcmpCd


That Coutinho is a very good player who would fit in perfectly in our midfield.

According to contract, B player Alen Halilovic (18) has to be promoted to the first team this summer, although he could leave on loan. [ara]


Which B team players will be promoted to yhe 1st team?

Badosqi:
All ronaldo's critics sef. Why finger Ronaldo out for madrid failure dis season? Is not like his performance was below par this season. Over 60 goals plus 22 assists yet the all blame is on him. Is that even reasonable?

Ronaldo is only a single unit in a 11 man team. Why not rate the performance of other player starting with other attackers till you get to the keepers.

But Hell No you won't do dat. The whole would rather go to Ronaldo.

Look at the contribution of Neymar over 30goals this season and Suarez goals and assists plus Messi's share too. Perfect right? That is when other units are functioning. Just remove only Neymar's contribution this season and see how it would have affected barca. Will it now be reasonable to blame Messi for Neymar's failure? Or blame Messi for Barca's failure. No it will be sound so unreasonable because there are other units(midfielders,defenders and keepers) in the team working together.

So you want other players to be blamed when it's obvious your king does not wish them well. When it's obvious he does not want any other player to score. Instead of helping others players grow such as Messi does to Neymar, Suarez and co, he rather criticises them for making any attempt. And you still want them to share in the blame abi? Good for you really.

[quote author=ddippset post=34054365]since you dubiously so much live to compare stats only from 6 years ago lemme give you the biggest stats from the past 6 years on a platter. 2009-best player in la liga Messi. 2010- best player in la liga Messi. 2011- best player in la liga Messi. 2012- best player in la liga Messi. 2013- best player in la liga Messi. 2014- best player in la liga Ronaldo. 2015- best player in la liga will surely be Messi. 2009- best player in the world Messi. 2010- best player in the world Messi. 2011- best player in the world Messi. 2012- best player in the world Messi. 2013- best player in the world Ronaldo. 2014- best player in the world Ronaldo. 2015 - best player in the world, your guess is as good as mine. And you are Still here comparing. Is it arrogance or ignorance
All of the above

ddippset:
crucial? Did you just call those goals last night crucial? Lol. If he only scored that free kick against Valencia when it was most needed, real would definitely have won la liga. If he only scored that hattrick against juventus, real would be in the final. Stop giving me crucial!

You get time self bro, how can he score such against those teams? Person wey u no go even see him number for pitch self.

Congratulations cules......we will be back in two weeks time to crown it up.

what barca needs right now is a strong centre back because the defense still looks shaky even though they have conceded few goals. Cahill woudn't be a bad buy thats if chelsea are willing to sell. i must say, i haven't been really impressed with "rakitic". Physically good but he lacks that pace which barcelona needs right now in the middle. If you ask me, ill'd say sell rakitic and bring in "marco varatti". if gundogan deal has being pulled through thats great news! varatti & gundogan would be a awesome pair in the middle assisting offensively and defensively with busquet. this should be my team for next season
starting line up:
/cladio bravo/ /dani,pique,cahill,alba/
/varatti,busquet,gundogan/
/messi,suarez,neymar/

subs:vamalen,batra,macherano,sergi samper,denis suarez, rafinha, pedro, stegen.

Cahil? This is not premiership sir, where defenders just throw their bodies at anything knowing fully it's a must for a player to either shoot or cross. La liga is full of skillful players and I can bet he will be molested game in game out.

dmcdad:
Saw an exclusive from Agecia News 2 days ago that MATs would be the Liga goal keeper for next season. While Bravo would handle the Champions League and Cup matches.

I have once thought of this sha, I never knew someone somewhere could be listening to my mind!

He is The Blaugrana Jesus!

Luis Enrique: "Xavi will start tomorrow? Yes. Vermaelen will play? Yes." #fcblive


yayyy! At least he will work for his medal

What you guys don't know is that Vermaelen sacrificed himself for the remaining players to be injury free. So the guy don already work for his mdical

Tw Dos Santos (Villarreal): "An idol leaves, an example, the MASTER #XaviHernandez Thanks for teaching me so much!" http:///B2M7FTz8DB


#respect Xavi

stevemims:
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.

stevemims:
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

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

......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.

dmcdad:
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.

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!

honeric01:
Surely but do you buy the idea that gundogan can do similar job?

I am not so sure he can!

honeric01:
Meaning they use 2 Iniesta at a go?

And where does Kagawa play?

Gundogan is like a Yaya to them bro.

He cant do the job of a Xavi IMO so i dont see him fitting into Xavi's position.

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.

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?

He really impressed me with the way he played against Athletico Madrid. If he can continue in that trend, I see no reason why we should let him go. But the truth is that we can't keep a player against his wish, if he wishes to leave then let him go.

Xavi Hernández's eighth league title



www.fcbarcelona.com/football/first-team/detail/article/xavi-hernandez-s-eighth-league-title

A worthy legend, the greatest central midfielder of all time. A player I had always wished never grow old. I can't wait to see him coaching the team one day. #Xavi the great one.

The club,the coach and his staff, the players, the fans all deserve this victory

Congratz to us all

Matheus and Rakitic and even Vermalen must be happy and grateful to Barca for giving them the chance to play for the best club in the world and win tittles.

#just more than a club!

We are the champions!

Is any EPL team more physical than Atletico Madrid? But we know Atletico Madrid are his bitches

Please help educate him.

Krasid:
And you think princess Neymar would survive the physical EPL.

And what exactly is special about EPL?

Krasid:
Bale is not a stat padding fraud.He didn't need to score 37 goals to win 4 trophies last year.He was the best player in England playing for a team like Tottenham.He didn't need no babysitter to gift him PK's when he was not playing well and he doesn't need it now.Bale is a welsh hustler, he is no south american sissy.He will be back to his best soon.Neymar in two years time will be winning instagram selfie competition while Bale would be dominating la liga.

Bale dominating la liga? It's not EPL sir, where they give lots of space for pacey players to operate. No wahala sha, we sha see sir!

Krasid:
Manchester united is a confused team that do not know what their problem is.Bale does not want to leave and one poor season cannot take away the quality that he has.

Mr Krasid, you keep calling Neymar a fraud for being spoon-fed by Messi. Yes, but he's doing fine with it and such making progress. Why not tell your role model CR7 to also spoon-feed Bale as to help him out of his present predicament.

cisse7575:
wait o, wetin Madrid winning this season ?

Pichichi!

Austeenx:
Pepe Reina 1 world cup, Rinaldo- World cup semifinalist.

Awwww this is bad.

homesteady:
I know you as a troll, but I didn't know you where this petty!
It was made for Messi and he hasn't won it for 2 straight seasons now?
Just some months back you took your trolling level to gear 10 when Ronaldo won it, but now you are singing a new lamentation song!

You should start fasting and praying that Neymar doesn't beat him to 2nd position!

I tire for the guy really.

dmcdad:
See this one oooooo! You think say na the one wey Penaldo dey do wey him no go comot anybody for road? No body movement (which is the main essence of step-overs).

Now acting like you didn't see the news (on goat.com) where someone (Sacchi) said Ronaldo has not been able to dribble past anyone in 3 months. If na wetin them praise am, we for no hear word from you oooooo.

I dey always think say na only me dey notice oooo. He finds it so difficult to go past just a player. After series of step overs and his marker does not move, he would just pass the bass. And mr Krasid would be comparing him to someone whose only body movement humiliates his marker(s). Put Mikel Obi upfront and see him tapping in goals anyhow.

Krasid:
I just needed a few days to get over what happened.Ronaldo did his best, the team also did their best.Sadly it was not meant to be.I am having this feeling that there might be a surprise in berlin.

Hehehehe sowie oooooo, so that's the best he could do to run the show? Then I would say even Marcelo runs show better than him.
