Xavi is having one of his better seasons, so add him in the players performing better than Fabregas. Biscuits and Pique are not bad either this year. Whatever the case, we have a massive fee for Cesc. Considering the fees paid for Oscar, Silva, Kagawa, Oezil, Reus, etc, we should have been able to replace him with adequate talent.

Personally I feel Xavi's been marginalized in favour of Fabregas being involved while last season it was the other way around.

He still runs the team though. Fabregas definitely moved two-three years too early. I wonder what made him move prematurely. Were we that hopeless?

Captain

Broke up with his missus and wanted some bro time with pique.

Nah, Messi runs that team. Everyone else just makes sure the ball gets to him. Maybe Xavi will have more influence in the Champions league but right now he's just coasting along and personally I think he's beginning to show his age.

Tony Montana

Even Iniesta?

Liverpool are perverting the world order.
I'm sure Joe Allen is top 25. lol

Ah that Andy Carroll transfer is legendary, imagine having him as your record signing 😆

Klaus

Imagine having him as your record signing and then loaning him to West Ham after twelve months. 😆

David Villa just scored a sweet goal for Barca in their Copa del Rey game vs Cordoba.

That's his transfer value doubled then.

Just missed a dead easy chance, price dropping again 🙂

goon

Yeah.

Years of world class performances and goals = 15m
Goal in the Spanish league cup = another 15m

Rex

Yep. That's how the market works. 🙂

Probably sometime in April when we're down to just Gervinho being available to play in the centre Wenger will tell us how we tried and failed to prise Villa from Barca this month.

y va marquer

There are still mumblings that he wants out of Barca rights now.
I wonder what kind of new disaster would provoke Wenger into forcing this to happen

lorddulaarsenal

City will get him

Wenger says he's been rebuffed and won't buy a "normal" striker. Love the reference to Park and the response.

spacemanspiff

Interesting that he calls Podolski a central striker. Why has he been playing all season as a wide player?

Mirth

Because he's behind Giroud, Walcott and Gervinho or because none of our left wingers are as good. And probably because he's been in and out of games so far because of his fitness (or lack of).

Qwiss

If he signed Podolski as a central striker then he desperately needs to go out and get a left winger.
