titi shud be offloaded this summer, considering how overpaid he is, and we cannot get anything in return if we try to sell later.

the oly player that i really really wanna see in the barca shirt is
IBRAKADABRA .
i can't even name a striker whose on the same level as him .
and before i get hammerd with comments note that i said STRIKER so messi is'nt included.
when there was a rumer that he was close to joining barca i said two things (tixiki=geunius , moratti=ideot) too bad he renewed his contract.

@ Hamad Ali ..

I rate Eto'o a better striker than Ibrahimovich .. Don't get me wrong, Ibra is class, but Eto'o fits our system better. Plus Ibra doesn't score 19 goals in 19 matches :)

I'd rather die before I see Ibrahimovic in a Barca-shirt. You'd need to look far to find a more arrogant person than him.
