what do you think about hleb, In my opinion he is very good player and I like that he is in barca now.

i preferred messi having 19, it kind of suited him better... a ten is more for a playmaker, messi is different... but whatever numbers are the last thing we should be discussing about...

Look anonymous of course he is good player because if he wasn't a good player he wouldn't be here and anonymous where are you from :).

Not necessarily.

I think Alves' and Caceres' numbers should have been flip flopped. Usually (although not always) a higher number jersey signifies a younger player.

Hleb should be wearing the #13 instead of Pinto. Pinto should consider himself lucky just to have a number in the first place!

If Guddy ever leaves I'd like to see Bojan in the #7. But I guess that'll have to wait until at least next year now. Same if/when Marquez leaves and Alves get's his #4 back.

Pinto is better than Valdéz imo.
