F.C. Barcelona Official Thread

Now they're willing to sell Henry.

Thing is, they've been contaminated by Madrid's "Galactico" folly.

Can't these guys learn from other people's mistakes?

stupid fans IMO .. when fans disrupt the team and get into the managers head, they mess things up.

they thought they were the best team in the world.. which they WERE.. for a year.. but once you underestimate the teams you face, you get spanked.

it happened when they faced us last year..

and it'll happen when they face man utd this year..

henry has personal problems... thank god we didnt buy him

i dont think he'll play for another EPL team... he loves arsenal too much to play against them.

serie a? maybe...

I think he's going back to England, but not one of the big four. Man City? Portsmouth? West Ham?

i dunnol... its anyone's guess...

i know he wants to get back with his daughter... so london?

spurs? no way.... fulham? no west ham? no ...

he wont join any london team

man city? .. they have the money

newcastle.. well, the have the money and the right players.. but i dont see him going there too..

its a weird one..

we'll just have to wait and see...

I'll laugh my guts out if Henry goes to Newcastle!

whats the situation with barca

whos injured... whos gonna play against the mancs?

when are messi and r10 returning?

Eto'o: We Can Dream About The Final



Samuel Eto'o
believes that Barcelona must not feel inferior to Manchester United and
can begin to dream about appearing in the Champions League final next
month.

The Cameroonian forward called on his team-mates to be confident about
overcoming the Premier League leaders in the semi finals of Europe's
elite club competition.

While the rest of the squad remained
reserved about their meeting with United, Eto'o came out and said what
many Barcelona fans must be thinking.

"We can dream about
playing in the final," he stated. "Why can we not dream? We are Barça,
a very important club like Manchester United and with similar star
players. We cannot feel inferior."

"I am sure that with Lionel
Messi and Deco we will improve. We will see how we can do in the semi
finals and winning the first game will be very important."

Thierry
Henry agreed that the return of key players from injury would help and
he is excited about facing a United side that were Arsenal's main
adversaries during his days at Highbury.

"Playing in the semi
finals is exciting. We will play against a team in incredible form," he
said. "Now Deco and Messi are coming back and that is positive for us."

"We
have had to work very hard, but in the Champions League it is never
easy to win. I remember when Barça played Benfica and the Portuguese
side had a lot of chances and Barça ended up winning the trophy."

After
edging past Schalke over the two legs of the quarter final, Henry
admitted that while everyone wanted attractive football, he was pleased
that Barça could also scrape wins.

"We want to play better and we can, but we also have to know how to win like this," he added.

dream away... it's gonna take you a miracle to get past manU

They're out of everything now. Made a good run in the CL, but with the players they had, and considering that MAdrid didn't really have a great year, they should have run away with the title.

In my crystall ball, I see a cleanup of herculean proportions. Ronnie, Henry, Rijkaard, Deco, and more....

I find their season to be both sad and pathetic .... barca have finally fallen into the galacticos trap.

why on earth would you need henry/messi/ronaldinho/etoo in one team?

money wasted

etoo... come to liverpool s'il vous plait :p

With Torres around why Eto'o?

crouch is leaving... if the rumours are true

Crouch is a sub, but I can't see either Torres or Eto'o playing second fiddle.

DO you think they could play together?

I have reservations

crouch to me is gone .... he will ALWAYS be the "other" striker... walking in the shadow of torres.. and rightly so... he knows it, and accepts it.

but.. he seems to believe he needs to play for another club to start in more games, and get noticed by cabbage man capello.

if he leaves.. its his loss..

he's just setting himself up for unsuccessful games.. and ultimately, shit success with england.
its his career.. his decision.

i was kidding about etoo.. i dont know if he's leaving barca or not

but i believe that torres needs a partner, besides gerrard, cuz we missed him in midfield.

but ultimately, we need better defenders

hyypia / carra / finnan / riise / even aurelio are as good as dead

they're not LEAGUE fit defenders

they can pull off amazing 2 legged games

but cant streach out a league

due to age, injury , and just being crap (riise)


anyway...... im interested to see what barca have to do now... with so many transfers in the pipeline
