what do you think should barcelona buy a new striker and who? And should ronny stay or leave?

As strange as it may sound, but probably the best thing for Barca right now would be loaning Sheva. That wouldn't be take significant amount of money and provides Barca with experienced striker, once world's best. I agree that he may rusted a little bit in Chelsea but he did all the training and is very well rested. 1 year loan of Sheva and then buying Benzema would be a master plan. Sheva's motivation after 1 year of bench warming at Chelsea is unquestionable and playing for club as Barca gives him another dimension. Money saved on bringing some other striker could be invested in Hamsik. With Henry, Sheva and Bojan I really doubt that there would be any problems with out attack and even Bojan's development wouldn't stagnate. That is what I call future thinking.

Pep you are amazing, how do you know everything and so early. Thank you very much off this useful information. Do you know who barca will buy this summer???

pep said...

Well, they've said at least three more transfers (attacking midfielder, left winger and centre forward), let's see who will arrive...

And thank you for the compliment.

i agree with "eye" absolutely.let barca loan sheva and later we can benzema next season.not ade,trez or berbatov.they might just be waste of money.

I think Ronladihno should stay, everyone is saying how messi is the "number one" now but then what number do you call the guy he runs to when he scored or whom he admits to feeling obligated to passing to even i fhe's got 2-3 defenders on him...Ronaldihno is still the effn man to me and i think Lionel would agree I sincerely hope he stays i can't see my self being forced to watch him in another jersey..he's barca.. I hope he takes the new coaches challenege to get back to mention blog status..(world player status) and in form...i beg of him..
