I'm here. The magic of tapatalk My fave Barça side is the 2010-2011

We can buy players; what we can't do is register them for any competition until January. FIFA can't directly ban us from giving employment contracts to whoever we want...

Our long term replacements are now playing for Chelsea and Bayern, sigh.

Interesting. Not sure how they'd fit in another midfielder then. I think we need another option there. Iniesta has had a pretty torrid season until the last 2-3 months, for example, and Rafinha hasn't been up to much. Plus we have struggled to take the sting out of games without Xavi on the pitch.

Rakitic has been pretty good. Our midfield has been weird though, lots of running and not that much passing. But that's part of Lucho's tactics.

Yeah absolutely. Rafinha hasn't really shown he can do that job.

As in he'll move back to CM as his legs start to go? He's more and more becoming our main playmaker nowadays, even when playing on the right. The last six months he's had have been ridiculous in that regard. There's been plenty of games where he's finished with the most touches in the team (a privilege apportioned to Xavi before that).

Do you plan on actually keeping Samper when the loan ends? seems like most of these loans don't seem to end up with players coming back and breaking through. It's just a rumor, to be honest, might turn out to be bull. Rafinha just returned from a successful loan at Celta, anyway. There was a time that being loaned out meant we had given up on the player, but we seem to be changing our policy. Samper won't be at Barça B next season, that's for sure.

With Xavi leaving, we need a top-drawer CM. I see a lot of people claiming we already have it and it's Messi, but we still need one.

Promising precedent.

Not really.

All loans must last until the end of the season in La Liga. Not sure if we could loan him abroad though.

"Sport" reporting that we have bought Aleix Vidal and we'll announce it next week. Apparently he'll agree to just train with us until our ban expires in January. He's had a tremendous season with Sevilla, so I hope it's true. There's talk we might loan Samper to them as part of the payment.

I love how it's sponsored by FIFA, and they can't avoid making the trailer about money

Yeah, same with Jémez. You can't take results on isolation without looking at the team's squad and expectations. By the same account, I can't judge McClaren's Derby stint properly. I honestly care way too little about the C'ship to know whether Derby's squad merited better than 8th place or not.

He's signed names like Mendieta, Diego & Hasselbaink so I don't think it should be too much of an issue. (as if we were ever going down the big-signings route). They beat us at signing Mendieta. I was fuming at the time, fucking Middlesbrough beating us in the transfer market

Not surprising considering they have literally no fans. Yet they manage to stay up year after year. It's like an itch that just won't go away. Pointless club.

Also, Mike gives me stick for not celebrating when we win shit, and that's because I try to contain myself on here!

There's nobody on Getafe forums.

Flores is a keep things organized and let the guys upfront come up with something kinda manager. He's hardly a terrible manager, but nothing too exciting. People remember how he won the EL with Atlético - which was a big deal for them - but he got them nowhere near the CL spots in the league. And I'm talking a team that sported a frontline of Agüero and Forlán, easily one of the best in the continent. I think he will be fine for Watford, though.

So fucking nervous for tonight. Pulse racing already.
