With Xavi gone, I know Rakitic was brought in to replace him but bench who is taking his place, Rafinha and Sergi Roberto?

halilovic

 

[Kimchi Papi]

^ The young Croatian is not close to being ready for first team play. Although he doesn't have the ego problems Deulofeu has, Halilovic needs to learn to play the game without trying to take on 3-4 defenders on his own. He has to understand & learn how to play with the other 10 players on the team.

I don't think the disarray Barca B has been in helped his development either as they team looked horrible despite making coaching changes. They played so poorly they got relegated to Spanish third division, Segunda B despite the wealth of talent on the team (which is more proof you can't win on talent alone).

Edit - Beautiful t-shirt to celebrate Barca's treble. Don't see if available for sale yet.

Iniesta is the only player to have won man of the match in a CL final, Euro final and WC final

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Good start of the summer for Don Iniesta... new baby & treble!

Barca & Juve locker rooms prior to yesterday's match.

The #6 jersey vacated by Xavi sets Pogba up perfectly.

!!!!

One of the most pivotal off seasons for Barca ever. A ground swell of change could be going. If there is a leadership change, I hope the new regime severs ties with anything qatar. The club should have no problems getting a suitable sponsor if they make the change.

2 Legends.

Pure class. If Barca would've lost, I actually would've been ok to see Pirlo win a CL. I've enjoyed watching his career immensely.

^^ Two Latin Legends legends indeed

I remember Pirlo could have gone to Barca, there were rumors.


Congrats to Barcelona, magnificent season and they played beautiful football the second half. I think what we saw in the second half of the season is right on par with Peps team but even more lethal in attack. Less pressing but right on par with dominance. I didn't think Messi wanted to play RW again but I've always loved it when he played it. Him cutting in towards goal is unstoppable.

Anthony Martial to Spurs for £18m?!?

Kid is a stud in career mode on FIFA 

 

[flyeed]

FIFA is sometimes stupidly accurate with their predictions on potential

Whenever I read about a young player I use it as a source to get a better idea of them. And if I were part of a teams scouting department I'd use it to help as well

 

[User 37837]

Radja looking good in that Belgium midfield


Van Gaal should be watching


Spurs making good moves. Dele and now Martial

Hope that's not true

SIGNING: The Catalan wing back, Aleix Vidal has been signed from Sevilla and will be officially presented on Monday lunchtime (FC Barcelona)

 

[rolaholic]

Surely he's being brought in as an Alves replacement right?

 

[imasoleman18]

 

[rolaholic]

That's so dirty :x :x

Pains me to say a bit but Pool have done some smart business imo with their last 2 signings so far this summer. Kovacic has the makings of a stud in the mf which would be more than welcomed by them with Stevie G going across the pond.

 

[mastamind89]

All 10 outfield players were involved for Ivan Rakitic's goal

[rolaholic]

Anyone watching the WWC? Holy cow Germany :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x. Don't think I've ever seen such domination on all fronts in a major tourney,it's 10-0 right now...

 

[ASE]

I'm watching and getting perturbed at the hope solo coverage.

 

[rolaholic]

OTL absolutely destroyed all the fluff pieces that have been written about her during the leadup to the WC.

Hope Solo is so :x. I NEVER once understood the hype over her a while back. She sounds kind of crazy as well from all the incidents she's been in lately.
