Gai is still young but I wish i could come..

COULD Ibra play in the US? or is he out for 4 weeks? like.. cant play for 4 weeks?

Gai isn't good enough. But neither is Victor Sanchez, nobody rates Sanchez except Pep.

to be honest...I don't think Jeffren is going to be great either. He has talent but not for a team like Barca. I don't think he will stay with Barca too long.

It is a shame that Thiago can't get the chance to show himself because of u-19 tournament.

Manolo:
I'm from Sweden, so all I hear on the news all day is Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan. And from what I've heard is that he's out for a couple of weeks, but will hopefully play a bit in the Joan Gamper. So no US playtime for him.

I can imagine that Gai isn't following because we have better players at that position. (Henry, Bojan, Jeffrén). I don't think Muniesa would've come along if not Marquez was injured. But now, he's the only centerback substitute.
I think it's a bit strange that Rueda isn't following. But I guess we have too many at that position too (Touré, Busquets, Keita).
I agree about Thiago. Think Dos Santos would've had to stay home if Thiago was available.

Why isn't Thiago avalibale? As far as I know Spain where knocked out of the tournament a few days ago.
