Weezertron Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 For some reason I always thought he went there and became a bit of a squad/bench player. I'd love him back in England. Also, what are these spanish coaches wearing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Is Cesc a giant in the spanish league? I really miss watching him. He was magic for Arsenal. Hadn't really heard about him much until the recent transfer rumours. No. He always seems to start the season strongly (he's been doing well so far too), and disappear as the season goes on. It doesn't help that he's often played outside of his favored position, but he doesn't impose himself in games as he should. Crying shame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't really heard about him much until the recent transfer rumours. Difficult for Barca to find a place for him to get the best from him. He's best between Xavi and Messi but they have Iniesta for that and he's not very good at Xavi's role and Iniesta can't do that either so they have a bit of problem in trying to fit them all together. He's clearly fantastic when used right though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Our best football last year was played with Busquets/Xavi/Iniesta/Cesc in a 4-4-2ish with Alba filling up the LW role. Vilanova got ill right after that and we never were the same team after it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you were talking about Dave from there? Hmm, might have been Dave, sorted an amp for me anyway. Either way - I don't mean to be to facetious. Aye I was just being daft, I do work there.

Vilanova got ill right after that and we never were the same team after it. Do agree with that, problem with that set up though is it lacks width and defensively a bit fragile so big teams could get some joy from it. It was never really used against Madrid or a CL big hitter though to find out i suppose, also with Neymar now its a bit difficult to use the same set up.

Village Idiot Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Man, it's always the same with Cesc as #9. He keeps putting some great through balls... for our #9 to pick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer a proper forward as our LW, that's why I liked that we bought Neymar (as a player type, before you go "no shit" with me ). With so many midfielder types we lacked bite against teams that defended deep (which is the majority of teams that play against us nowadays). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 It's one of those you go spare at your GK for if he let's it in, but then you gotta have sympathy for him as he did see it proper late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right! Good chain, I don't care so much about the little shops dying off when there's a good place to go. 70% of guitar shops are opportunistic little bastards ripping every penny so I like a place that looks after the customer once he's spent his £££ from the beginning of the transaction well into the life cycle of the purchase.
