Quote of the day: Franck Ribery, Bayern Munich player
“They [Barcelona] are a great team, a team that knows very well how each other plays even with their eyes closed. I talk a lot to Eric [Abida] and Titi [Henry] and they tell me that a nice atmosphere prevails, that they all go in the same direction and that all that is important for adaptation is shown each week… and last season they have won a lot.”
Bayern Munich winger and France international midfielder Franck Ribery (26) during an interview with former France and Bayern Munich player Bixentu Lizarizu for the program Le Club de Liza
Ribery > Cesc for barca atm.
Oh yes. By far.
I disagree. Ribery just doesn't really fit, I don't think. Cesc would slot in perfectly. We don't need to spend money on Ribery.
Cesc would fit better, but Ribery is needed.
How so? The way I see it, we need a LW, which isn't the same as saying we need Ribery. There are probably much better options for less money. Personally, I think we need to show Pedro and the other youngsters how much faith we have in them.
Where would cesc go?
Well i was wrong..guess he REALLY wants to come..
"… and last season they have won a lot."
Really? Didn't noticed that…
I just dont understand where Cesc fits at all???Iniesta is best in midfield. Ribery would replace Henry perfectly. Cesc/Xavi/Iniesta at the same time would be way too indirect I think. Ribery is the right choice
Ribery isn't the type of player Barca need. He fits better somewhere else, but not really with Barca. Cesc provides options where Xavi and Iniesta don't. He will also be able to take over from Xavi in the long run. Cesc has more of a goalscoring instinct than either of the other two.
It's embarrassing spending 40-50 million on our own youth product. Besides, as Henry is probably playing his last year, it makes so much more sense buying a world class left winger to replace the great Henry. Ribery on the left wing, Pedro and Jeffren as super subs!
i won't consider jeffren a super sub just yet.
i vote we go for a LW and give certain youth players a chance when xavi or iniesta needs rest until we really need cesc.
it is more embarrassing that we could not keep a talent like him when we had the chance in 2003.let's hope we can give pro contracts to thiago, jds, gai, fontas n bartra asap
And getting another left wing will just drive away the talents we have right now.
HA!!!! now EVERYONE wants to come to Barca…he sez henry wud lyk him there
