Much like Arsenal of the past 12 years.

Whomever the best is player is changes like the eb and flow of the tide. Yes, Modric is the best... for now. Who is to say that in six months Iniesta goes through an unreal revitalisation and drags Barcelona to success? Or that someone new doesn't usurp that title? For instance: overall I'd pick Messi; right now I'd pick Cristiano. Perhaps in six months I'd choose Zlatan or even Morata.

Ever get caught wagging school?

Gomes is also an attacking mid that Enrique thinks is a defensive mid because he is tall.

I guarantee you that Barcelona won't sign all three of those players. Deploying four forwards will destroy Barcelona in the middle of the park, Real Madrid already walkover Barca and that would only exasperate the weakness. That is a very weak team that is top heavy and very vulnerable on the flanks, Barcelona doesn't need that much reinforcement in the forward areas.

Iniesta would be the rotation for me. I'm looking at the future not what is best right now. ALSO: maybe I am harsh on Munir but Barca are stacked in the forward department and I don' tthink they need him,.

Old-man Iniesta can't be a starter. That is suicide, he doesn't have the legs anymore.

My dick is a ladder. Why don't you climb onto it?

@The Rebel CRS @SirBalon @Savvy Xavi @FCBNick What players need to be culled from the squad? Barcelona is aging and perhaps a season or two of mediocrity would allow the club to return to something it was. My proposals: Sell Mascherano. He is very much on the wrong side of 30. There won't be much return from him and unless he reverses the aging process, his wages are too high to keep around for sentimentality. Samper could replace him as team rotation. Sell Alba. I don't like Alba, I haven't liked Alba since Euros 2012. I think he is an average player that has nothing besides pace. Also he cheats too much. Sell Turan. He has never established himself and never will. Assassinate Paulinho. Sell the gutter rubbish of Vermaelen, Munir, Douglas, etc Give Gomes and Vidal one more season to prove their worth otherwise sack them. Resign fucking Bartra and Grimaldo. Shit even Fontas or Inigo Montoya (EDIT: It's actually Inigo Martinez) could work. The defence is paper thin. Stop playing Roberto as RB. The midfield and forwards are stacked, forget about signing those players. A new formation could work, I hate to be the twat to post starting XIs I really do but to illustrate my opinion I have to.

Dunno mate, but nations like Wales outperform the sum of their parts because they are a TEAM.

Perhaps well-drilled mediocrity will outperform incohesive stars?

I think we should all accept that Dele Ali isn't a midfielder and is, in fact a very solid deep-forward.

What happened to Howedes? Why isn't he captain of Schalke anymore?

Not that I want to watch Barcelona crash and burn, especially under the circumstances of corrupt Qatari scum, but there are levels of humour to be find in a club like Barcelona going into meltdown mode harder than Valencia. The squad has nearly as much bloat as Inter Milan.

The circus that Barcelona has turned into is truly hilarious.

Yeah, the battle was very poorly written. My wife for instance wouldn't shut up about how there is no logical or possible reason an undead army has access to large iron link chains.

Never laughed so hard at this show.

Pique is the only player in those pics that isn't dressed like a fucking moron. Messi possibly has the worst leg tatt Ive ever seen.

Chair next to Cilessen

Didn't see the game but it has further reinforced Alonso's importance to thr attack

Nascar for Eurotrash

Confirmed that the attacker was targeting women. We can probably know accept that it was a sad sexually frustrated bastard

Yeah, you're the first Englishman to make that sort of joke.

Tensions are rising and military conflict is looking likely between the two nations.

Unconfirmed if it is related to terrorism. Not long for ISIS to take responsibility though. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/aug/18/finland-police-report-multiple-stabbings-in-city-of-turku
