FC Barcelona vs Napoli - Joan Gamper Trophy

Thank God we're playling all these good teams during preseason, its a good wake up call for the rest of the squad. I'm sure we'll get to see more of Thiago and the new signings.

It would go in this forum.

Your in the right place

sorry I pasted a message I sent to someone

Sanchez, Cesc, Thigao... bring on the beast.

Anyway. Barcelona should win, but Napoli are no push-overs.

Hamsik Cavani Lavezzi

Spoiler:

Thank god the games got cancelled this week, that means more time to recup and gel. From what the news papers are saying, Fab is having absolutely no problem adapting, and he is actually impressing (which im not surprised about at all). I hope he starts, Xavi should come in 2nd half. The game vs Porto is gonna be good, too bad Falcao won't be playing with them.

Agree, it's a great game for Barca to be playing at this point.


That spoiler makes me uncomfortable.

Surely Thiago would benefit from a loan spell now Cesc is there? Someone like Arsenal or Chelsea lack the creativity he could bring and he would get games. You guys will know more than me so what's your opinion on his playing situation?

Nah, Barca will need the depth with their very busy schedule this season. He will get playing time.

Cavani

Have you seen a lot of Romeu the guy Chelsea signed from you? I have only seen his U20 World Cup performances to judge him on.

Tbh I really need to watch more Barca B games, try to do so this year. He only played one game last season for the first squad if I remember correct.

Yeah think it was Spanish cup at the end of the season? Hope he turns out good.

Romeu isn't bad at all, I watched him a few times with the B team, he gets switched between CB and defensive mid because of his strength and awareness. The EPl is a great place for him to gain experience, but just expecet drama if he becomes a good player

Im surprised no one is trying to get Thiago's brother Rafa.

He has Carvalho's old number.

You got team sheets?

Not yet, but this is what I predict

Valdes

Alves - Masch - Abidal - Adriano

Keita

Thiago - Iniesta

Pedro - Messi - Villa

Your username should be Xaviesta.

Probably, but what I'm trying to say is that there is plenty of talent on the B team.

As for my user name...XavIniesta is cooler

I disagree.

Too bad

Are any of you gonna tune in for the game? According to the papers, Cesc is starting.

Nah, I'll watch the highlights though.

I'll watch until the United match begins.

The United match starts before anyway.
