I dont think Puyol is bad, I really like him, but he has to be a central defender, not on the lines cause he gets burned every time... Man City is also trying to get Eto'o apparently and Barca seems willing to sell him so they can get David Villa, I think that if Barca gets Villa, he will get sick and tired of scoring so many goals.

Ronaldo's presentation was crazy, the guy is spectacular, but his attitude totally kills him...

The thing with the spanish league is that once again, its going to be a race between Barca and Madrid, so if Madrid wins La Liga everyone at the Bernabeu will say: "You see! we told u that by getting Ronaldo and Kaka we would be unstoppable", but in La Liga is either Madrid or Barca, so I guess it all depends who makes the most mistakes.

I hope Madrid doesnt win anything this year, I am rooting for Barca again because they played almost perfect football all season long with players that they have been harvesting from many years ago (xavi, messi, iniesta), that is how teams should really work instead of doing what Madrid has always been doing, buying everything and everyone.

According to Sport.es which is barcelona's most rabid supporter when it comes to journalism in spain, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been transfered to Barca in exchange for Eto'o and Hleb...

I really like Zlatan and I think he will score a lot of goals and will help Messi a lot,

I dont think Eto'o will be able to turn a game like Ibra could

Is it just me, or is Zlatan a lazy player? Euge will no doubt put me right on this, but when ive seen him play in champions league games, and Inter are on the back foot, he`s a player who wont track back, and help out defending etc just doesnt look interested in the game

I dont watch the Serie A games much, so its only based on Champions league games im making that judgement

I never understood why he was the world's best-payed-player for many years, he must have some clever manager or whatever to me he's not more than average. I've never seen some out-of-this-world action from him. I've seen C.Ronaldo do some brilliant things with the ball (must admit that although I dont like him), I've seen the same from Messi, Kaka, Ribery and from Ronaldinho or Zidane some years ago. But Ibrahimovic? Never. Highly overrated player imo.

dont judge him by his CL games. he didnt perform in the CL, dont know why. but it seemed to me that in the ManU match, the ball was constantly been kicked high to him where he couldnt do anything with it. the only chance he got he hit the crossbar.

if you see some of the goals he scores in Serie A, I definitely think he's the best striker in the world, cant live up to the CL, but can win the league on his own.

I'll definitely be sad if he leaves!
