With the signing of Caceres the defence is looking pretty solid...

Now... The signing of Alves should be a priority !!! (especially after Zambrotta's move to AC)

Heard reports that Gai Assulin is going to be promoted to play for the first team at Barca and quite confident of his ability to play in the left (as youth products of Barca promoted to the first team never seem to dissapoint)... However having Gai Assulin as the first team choice for left wing is a huge risk... which again brings in the case for David Silva

There was a previous post (an anonymous comment) that whatever price is being asked for David Silva and Alves should be met... would agree with this opinion (as long as it is withing the budget of how much Barca is willing to spend)...

and if David Silva and Alves has been signed... there should not be any more required signing (except maybe Guiza if there is some extra in the budget)... unless of course a key player is sold then other signings might be necessary

However if Ronaldinho stays and regains form... signing David Silva would no longer be necessary...

Caceres... yea =)

Just one comment: Caceres+Keita=Alves You know how? That's simple: Caceres(16.5)+Keita(14)=30.5 million
You stupid fucks, you could already have Alves. He has to be priority. Go and get him!
