Losing Cancer Fabregas alone should be an improvement and I'm excited to see what Suarez and Rakitić can bring to the table. I am also loving the goalie additions Barca brought in.

Here's to a great season!


We'll be great if we can sign Marquinhos/Vermaelen/Agger and Cuadrado. I prefer Marquinhos maybe PSG needs the money.

LE wants to play the 3-5-2 so it will be interesting to see what happens with Iniesta and Xavi.

Ter Stegen
Marquinhos Piqué Mathieu
Mascherano Busquets
Cuadrado Iniesta Neymar
Messi Suárez

or

Mascherano Rakitic
Cuadrado Neymar Pedro
Messi Suarez

or

Mascherano Busquets
Cuadrado Rafinha Alba
Neymar Messi

4-4-2

GK
Alves Piqué Mathieu Alba
Cuadrado Mascherano Rakitic Iniesta
Messi Suarez

or

Montoya Piqué Marquinhos Alba
Alves Rakitic Busquets Pedro
Messi Suarez

4-3-3


Busquets
Rakitic Iniesta
Messi Suarez Neymar

or

Busquets
Rakitic Xavi
Messi Suarez Neymar

or

Mascherano
Xavi Rafinha
Messi Suarez Neymar

If those 2 players are signed we could win it all. UCL, La Liga and Copa.

------------------------------------------------Ter Stegen/Bravo/Masip--------------------------------------------------------------------
----------Marquinhos/Bartra---------------Piqué/Mascherano--------Mathieu/Adriano--------------------------------------------
Cuadrado/Alves/Montoya----Mascherano/Song/Roberto----Busquets/Rakitic/Xavi---------Pedro/Alba/Rafi/Deulofeu
----------------------------------------------------Neymar/Iniesta/Rafinha-------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------Messi/Neymar---------------------------Suarez/Rafinha/Adama-----------------------------------------------

Team would be deep as hell. I expect us to sell Song, Alves. No need for those 2 players.

I hope you guys don't get Cuadrado. He started his career as a right back in Colombia, but he has blossomed into a star as an attacking wing player. To move to RB, even in Barcelona's system, would be a mistake. Also, Cuadrado is a player that does wonders with the ball, but Messi and Neymar will dominate possession and Cuadrado won' be able to show what he is capable of.

Last, I jumped on the Madrid bandwagon lol, so I naturally don't want Barcelona to get him. At the same time, Chelsea is my team and it would make sick if he went to United lol.

Looks like I will be able to see a Barcelona game on my way back home. Should be a great experience, I have never been to a top league match.

Gotta be honest, I love the fact that Barcelona has gotten this ban. Not because I hate barca specifically, I just think it's good that teams are reminded of the rules and they're strong enough to actually punish the teams that break them.

Since our ban will be taken into effect pretty soon it looks like our squad is pretty much set.

I like this kid. He reminds of when Messi started playing alongside Ronaldinho.
He is of Moroccan descent, but nationalized in Spain so a future prospect for us.

Good win today. The two goals set up by Messi to Neymar were nice.

Repeat.

Atletico already lost 4 points in 2 games and Barca are winning games without Neymar (+ Turan is actually playing well this season)

The CL doesnt always win the best team. Last year the best teams were by far Barça and Bayern and both lost against Atletico. Real Madrid won it and sucked a lot during the whole year. Our bench has improved a lot and I don't see a stronger team than ours, but we'll se what happens.

I like our chances. Sergi Roberto has impressed so far as the starting RB

The truth is anything less than la liga and the CL victory is a fail for Barcelona.
