The Front: Sport (28.06.2010)
ROSELL’S “HOMEWORK”
The new president will start to lead Barça this week.
1 – Guardiola’s contract renewal. The coach will be “free” on June 30th and he wants to sign a short contract.
2 – Technical secretary. Zubizarreta seems to be Txiki’s substitute.
3 – Signing Cesc. Sandro will travel personally to London to close the transfer.
4 – Solve Ibra’s situation. A sell or loan deal could be done, but the club doesn’t rule out giving him another chance.
5 – Strengthen the team. A forward, a midfielder and a right back, the targets.
Messi is already in the quarterfinals. Argentina 3 – 1 Mexico.
Germany humiliates England. Germany 4 – 1 England. The English team fell to pieces when the referee cancelled a goal; the score was 2-1 in that moment.
1-Pep's renewal:I think he will only sign a one-year deal, but I think he should sign a longer one
2- Zubizarreta looks like a good option,he has also relations with Pep
3-Cesc:we all know that Arsenal wont sell,I dont know whether Pep wants really a midfielder or we were just going after Cesc because he is catalan and the players wants him but if we really want an attacking midfielder,Ozil is looking superb and also he is a true,this may ruin my dream of seeing Cesc in the Blaugrana colours :S but Ozil is really superb,can play in midfield or attack and he is a cule and can be available for 10-15m as he has only one year on his contract
4-A Loan for Ibra?Are u joking,he will stay and I am sure that the Villa-Ibra-Messi attack would be awesome
5-We should sign Mascherano if Yaya leaves,a Right back wont be a bad idea with Gregory Van Der Wiel is one of my personnal favourites.
Jafenzi Mido Go Barcaaaa
Zubi has "Relations" with Pep ? That's a funny way to put it man.xD
wouldn't it be better to sign either Oezil from Bremen or Pastore from Palermo? much cheper and younger players with a bright future. i want to sign cesc but if we fail, i think these are the alternatives.
Ozil is the best option, he is really good and making the Germanys team really look great in this competition,I will prefer if Barca can go for the guy, he is a cracker in this World Cup, glad to know there are some people on here looking at him like i am doing .
i know ozil is class and everything but there is something i fear when buying a German . they function as a unit . klose was a bench warmer in beyern last season but he's playing like the best striker in the world in the WC . podolski has been crappy for kholin yet he's world class when playing for the national team . not to take anything from the germans , they're world class .
but they're like an engine , you must buy the entire engine . you don't just go and buy the cogs . because they may not fit your own engine .
Hmm, I never thought of that. I also think Ozil is very good, but I'm not too sure of him being ready for La Liga, and his playing time would be very limited. Plus, we have players like Thiago who are waiting to be promoted, who play in the same position as Ozil. People say that Iniesta WILL be injured so Ozil will definitely get playing time, but that's just stupid. Iniesta has been getting injured a lot in the last few seasons, but what if he pulls Messi and suffers completely no injuries for two seasons straight? And even with rotations, he would have to share his time with Keita.
sounds like a load of crap. germans and brazilians are actually the most versatile of footballers being able to adapt to any kind of football in any league. germans are also very fast and energetic which will be good for barcelona pressure game. ozil, schweinsteiger, lahm, muller, kroos, khadiera, ballack etc don't need to be around other germans to play good football.
I didn't speak about facts marc . it's just a theory . i said that they are world class but i didn't see a lot of germans play outside germany . thats it . i didn't mean to offend anyone .
He did great for Schalke, he did GREAT for Bremen and now he is doing fine for Germany as well… so he would not exactly be out of place if you pick him out of that engine, as you say
in tribal footbal i read that in "sport paper" linked an article that we are interested in ozil and we could use hleb to land him.
we need 3 more players ,forward robinho,midfielder ozil,defender vd wiel ,sell zlatan and we are ready to go.

OMG! Barca wants Özil and they are ready to put Hleb in a trade-deal. I hope this is true.
apparently they want to leave him another year in werder.i think thats mainly because fabregas is the main target for midfield,if we fail to get him i think ozil will be the next player we are after,but fabregas will come.
Why exactly do we need another bloody forward? Also, I realise Ozil has been good lately, but that doesn't mean he'll be good in Barca.

oops @emilio-didn't see your comment,pasted the same link
Another forward??? Are you serious? What we need is a natural winger. I dont want messi playing behind strikers becuz that will take up iniesta's space, we need to spread the field and i miss the alvez messi combination from 2 years ago. Also we aint getting nothing from the left side,
Robinho villa messi
Problem solved.
BTW. Bojan needs a loan
No need to loan bojan.He is a perfect backup if someone gets injured alongside pedro.
I'm not too sure that Robinho is a nataral winger himself. I almost never see him driving down the wing and crossing the ball. I see him cutting inside opponents more often. Messi has also been a lot better playing through the centre. He can further utilize his play-making skills. He was a good replacement when Xavi was injured last season. Usually when Xavi is out, the team looks a level or two lower than usual, and our play really slows down and the team looks unimaginative, but with Messi playing as a play-maker, we looked just as good. However, him playing there also forced Iniesta to play out wide, and Xavi to play a little deeper.
@ Matthew, You are talking about a young German kid who has been sensational for the German U-21 team as well as for SV Werder and Germany in the WC He was pretty much instrumental in keeping Bremen so high up in the Bundesliga and qualifying for the CL.. He has Speed , Stamina , Skills, Vision, Poise an Excellent Work rate, Adaptable as an AM or a Winger and a Player who is not prone to Histrionics on the field either…….. Isn't that a Barca Players Profile? His price tag however, based on his current form, is going up by the day.
he has one year left on his contract . and loves barca . 20 millions max .
Yeah Hamid, the Keyword is, ' Loves Barca' so hopefully will be willing to negotiate
for ppl who say Robinho is a better choice, then u gotta understand this.. Robinho is similar to wat Villa plays for Spain.. down the left wing, cuts in and shoots.. for that we already have Villa.. and Ibra as centre forward.. thats it.. we are good to go.. we need to get a back up for Alves and a midfielder.. !!
read my mind . and people forget our own players waiting in line for some playing time . you don't just buy for the sake of buying . you buy what you need . pedro , jeffren and bojan have more than earned their minutes so we don't go and reward them by buying players with inflated wages while our own cheap players who play their hearts out for the club have to warm the bench .
