Lads dont underestimate Ibra! i also taught he was muck but the amount of assists he gave Messi is unreal!! I know his job is a goalscorer but he can pull centre backs out of posistion and open up spaces for Messi to run into!! He wont be going anywhere!!
roddy collins should be a comedian!!
Personally i'm not saying Pique is a bad player, he is a very good centre half. I just think there are others who had had better seasons, Lucio from Inter would be one, even though Vidic has had a stop start season through injury i think when he has played he has been a better centre half.
Puyol will be a year older next season and that bit more injury prone and slow. Inter's defence in terms of center backs is slightly better than Barca's and if you include the goalies with the center backs then Inter's is far, far superior... Valdez couldn't hold a candle to Julio Cesar.
I would even be tempted to say that if Bayern sorted out their goalkeepers they could be deemed as having a better defence (center backs + keeper) than Barca. De Michelis and Van Buyten are pretty solid. Bayern's trouble has been with full backs this season. Goertliz has had the contract dispute (demoted to reserves) and Lahm and Lell have had bad injuries, so fringe players Badstuber, Contento even Tymoshuck (normally a midfielder) have had to fill in along the back line.

Liverpool FC are delighted to confirm the signing of Joe Cole on a four-year deal.
The England midfielder has agreed personal terms with the Reds and will undergo a medical in the next 48 hours.
Cole becomes the club's second signing of the summer after Milan Jovanovic.
The 28-year-old arrives from Chelsea, where he won three league titles and two FA Cups during a seven-year spell.
He is a product of the West Ham youth system and has represented his country 56 times, scoring 10 goals in the process.
Lets talk about six baby
Really good signing to Liverpool
Amazing signing for Liverpool. He always made a big difference for Chelsea when he was in the side.
Swapping Benayoun for Cole is a very good move by Liverpool. Benayoun is a good player but I'd take Cole over him any day.

I'd take Cole over Benayoun, too.
And I'd DEFINITELY take Cole + £5,500,000 over Benayoun![]()
Being the nature of these signings. I would say Cole got a £3million signing on fee and about £15,000 more than he would have gotten from the clubs who were interested in him.
I would also think that Chelsea wouldn't be paying the Benayoun transfer in one lump sum either.
Never the less it's a good bit of business for Liverpool in terms of the player they acquired.
If Woy can keep him fit that is which judging by Duffers (32games) situation he will manage it properly.
