    2010 Summer Transfers

    They have started a little early this year. Barca have wrapped up the signing of David Villa for €40 million from Valenica a short time ago.

    You'd imagine so. If anyone will pay his wages.

    Likely the Fabregas is heading "home" too.

    jaysus, they'll have some team next year

    I would imagine that is the end of Zlatan alright, will be very interesting to see who would take him. With Fabregas being strongly linked as well they will be some team next season, although if he plays that will leave them very short of defensive midfielders and god knows there not great at the back as it is.

    They do have the best centre back in the world though

    Fabregas and Iniesta are kinda injury prone so I doubt there'd be too many games with a midfield trio of Xavi, Iniesta and Fabregas 9as lovely as that sounds...)

    Xavi, Iniesta and Fabregas does sound rather lovely alright

    Barca, Best Centre Back in the world ? are you sure

    Still weaknesses in that team, keeper and center backs are not world class esp as Puyol is getting on a bit. Agree they are strong going forward but they could still be exposed by a defensive team that can hit quickly on the break.

    Yes, I firmly believe Pique is the best centre half in the world at the moment. I'm not saying the others are up to scratch but Puyol has some superb qualities (leadership, reading the game).

    How did Chygrynskiy fare for them this season? Didn't see him in any of their Champions League games. Any time I saw him play for Shakhtar looked very comfortable on the ball.

    Really? You're the 1st person i've ever heard think or say that about Pique. I would agree in saying he is a very good centre half but the worlds best at present? Theres a few others who i think have had better seasons than him

    Thats fine. I don't mind people disagreeing with me on footballing talent. A few of the British/european columnists love him too though (Sid Lowe/Marcotti)

    Chygrynskiy has been very disappointing. Couldn't get up to the speed of La Liga and is behinf Pique, Puyol, Marquez, milito and probably even Toure in the centre half lines

    I would probably say Lucio and maybe Burdisso are better center halfs than Pique. Thiago Silva would be in contention soon too, I might put Vidic ahead of him too, but he's had a stop start season, Andre Dias who Lazio just signed is very good too.

    Agree with Dodge about Piquenbauer, he would seem to be the best at the moment. I'd say any offer for Ibra and Henry and Barca will take it too.
    A possible team for next year:

    -----------Valdes------------
    Alves---Pique--Puyol---Abidal
    --------Toure/Keita----------
    -----Xavi------Fabergas-----
    ----Messi--Villa--Iniesta------

    With the likes of Pedro, Bojan etc. on the bench.
    It's a dream team but its still mainly Spainsh and acamedy players.

    If it was that bad no way they would have won the league

    Pique and Puyol are both fine players
