Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo makes today a global analysis of how the squad could look like next season. For what it's worth (but don't we all love these kinds of lists...) they come approximately to this scheme, with the regular in bold and the back-up between brackets:
Valdés (Aouate or Neuer or Alves or Frey or...)
Alves (Oleguer)
Puyol (Piqué)
Milito or Márquez (Coloccini or Chivu)
Abidal (Sylvinho)
Touré (Márquez)
Xavi (Mancini - Hleb)
Keita (Mancini - Víctor Sánchez)
Messi (Hleb)
Benzema or Adebayor (Bojan)
Iniesta or Silva (Henry)

this the great list and I wish it happens ;) espacially for Alves and Benzema....Viva Barca
what a crap :\
where is cesc fabregas
Cesc is in London and I hope he'll stay there. We don't want Paquito back.
where is diego?we need him in that midfield and why valdes should start???is it becos he is a spanish?he is a crap.
wake up guys. Benzema will stay in Lyon. If this is the case I prefer eto'o.
Keita isn't a good replacement for Deco neither and hleb is going to inter.
jordy
I'm really not impressed by that team.
-As Ronnie and Eto's are set to leave, Barca need players who could have the same impact on the goals scored tally.
-Iniesta is a great player, but as proven, especially in the second leg of the 'Champions' League he is not a left wing forward.
-Adebayor is not leaving Arsenal
-Should not bother with Hleb as Barca have better players in the team now.
Based on current team, close deals and Barca B:
(??) -Hopefully it one whose better with saving headers!!
Alves (??)
Puyol (Pique)
Milito (Marquez)
Abidal (Sylvinho)
Toure (Keita)
Xavi (Thiago Alcantara -Check Youtube!! Amazing talent)
Iniesta (Mehmet Topuz/Erick Flores- linked)
Messi (Dos Santos)
Henry (Krikic)
Palacio (Gai Assulin/Jeffren -maybe?)
Benzema - Is NOT leaving Lyon. They are on the verge of signing Pjanic and are looking to make a "serious" run in the Champions League table.
Adebayor - Is NOT leaving Arsenal unless Arsenal get a top class striker in return. Current performance and age difference notwithstanding Eto'o is still a better player than Adebayor.
Henry IF he stays should be moved to his "natural" central striker role with Bojan as his backup.
I would have Toure, Xavi and Diego as my defensive,central and attacking midfielders respectively if you are going to maintain a 4-3-3 alignment. Iniesta DOES NOT fit a 4-3-3 system because he is neither a left winger(as El Mundo had him positioned)nor a world class "attacking" midfielder. He is more of a "hybrid" central midfielder/forward midfielder who can SUPPORT an attacking midfielder! He would fit in much better in a 4-4-2 formation playing slightly behind or opposite Diego and in front of Xavi(in my opinion).
I would take any of the other goalkeepers mentioned over Valdes. He CANNOT, be your #1 in manning the post going into next season.
We don't need Coloccini or Chivu we need Garay!
If money were no option I would take the following players:
Cech,Alves,Garay,Diego,and Silva.
Crosas won the French league title with Lyon today, and he might also get a trophy if Lyon win the French Cup next week.
That's two more trophies than he would have gotten with Barca this season. No wonder he wants to stay. :P
Valdes
Alves
Puyol
Milito
Abidal
Xavi
Kaka
Iniesta

Abidal (Sylvinho)
Toure (Keita)
Fabregas (Xavi)
Van Der Vaart (Iniesta)
Messi (Bojan)
Henry (Mancini)
Huntelaar (Guiza)
Barca need players who can make a difference, but we must also remember that we got great talent within our youth, and that's what makes us a great club and better than Real Madrid who uses money to solve their problems!!

(4-3-3):

-----------Keita---Toure----------
--------------Xavi----------------
--------Messi-------Iniesta--------
--------------Henry---------------
Mr. Oleguer not deserve in the first team, maybe Barcelona B..
Original next season Barça dream team..
M.Neuer (O.Olazabal, A.Sánchez)
D.Alves (G.Piqué)
C.Puyol (G.Milito)
E.Garay (R.Márquez)
E.Abidal (Sylvinho)
X.Hernandez (T.Alcântara)
Y.Touré (M.Crosas)
A.Iniesta (I.Falque)
L.Messi (G.Assulin)
S.Eto'o (B.Krkić)
Ronaldinho (G.D.Santos)
But it'll never be.. Just imagine lots of Barça "product"..
Guillermo Ochoa / Kameni (Valdes)
Dani Alves
Puyol (Pique)
Milito (Garay)
Richards (Abidal)
Xavi (G. dos Santos)
Toure
Iniesta / Ben Arfa / Silva
Messi
Kun Aguero / Palacio / Bojan (Henry)
Diego Capel / Gai (Ronnie)
--------------------------------
Richards can either play at center or left back but i don't think Thaksin will let him leave City.
I would like to see G. dos Santos play in the midfield alongside either Xavi or Iniesta. Ben Arfa is a good addition too. Dos Santos also can replace Messi if he get injured.
If Eto'o and Henry are leaving, it would be my dream come true to see Sergio Aguero in the center, Palacio is a good choice too while we have Super Bojan.
For the left winger, we shouldn't let Ronnie leave but if that the case, Diego Capel or Silva is my favourite and we can promote Gai Assulin to the senior team as well.
Blaugrana forever!!.
whos said barcelona will play 4-3-3under guardiola??!
gaurdiola will change tactics in the team which rijkard failed to do... and from now till june 30 we will not know who will stay and leave.. other than deco and ronaldinho
Next Season Barca Squad:-
Neuer/Olazábal/Jorquera
Alves/Fali
Mertesacker/Ćorluka
Puyol/Thuram
Abidal/Sylvinho
Xavi/Guðjohnsen/Alcántara
Essien/Crosas
Vaart/Falqué/Suárez
Messi/Giovani
Huntelaar/Krkic
Kaka/Assulin
--------------------------------
1. Sell Valdes(€11m) to buy Neuer(€10m).
2. Sell Zambrotta(€7m), Oleguer(€4m) to buy Alves(€25m).
3. Sell Marquez(€12m), Milito(€17m) to buy Mertesacker (€15m), Ćorluka(€12m).
4. Sell Toure(€17m), Edmilson(Release) to buy Essien(€30m).
5. Sell Iniesta(€30m), Deco(€18m) to buy Vaart(€20m) .
6. Sell Eto'o(€32m) to buy Huntelaar(€30m).
7. Sell Ronnie(€30m), Henry(€28m), Ezquerro(€3m) to buy Kaka(€51m).
