I don't know about you and others who might have lost hope/ambition, but the level at which you hold Barca is the level at which I aspire my club to be. We weren't far off some years ago, and it's no surprise that we started to take a step down after we tried to make a player who wasn't good enough (you've pretty much admitted he's not good enough to play or shine at the top level) the hub of our team. As I said, I want my club team to regarded as one of the best in the world again, and Cesc doing a job for us won't get us there. We already have our fair share of "do a job" players a la Arteta, Ramsey, Giroud, etc.

It would be a retrograde move bringing the flop back here.

I can't believe what I'm seeing on here, Cesc not good enough for us? A flop at Barca?

For starters Cesc is at Barca at a time where they have one of the best midfield combinations if not in the history of the game then certainly of the last 30 years at least in Iniesta and xavi - how can that be seen as being 'a flop'!

When he is used- half the time it's as a false number 10 - practically being played as a striker of sorts, Baca and Spain use him differently then we did. You really thinks he expects them to drop messi,xavi,iniesta for him! Get real!

The same goes for Spain, who have an embarrassment of riches in the midfield area, a good few class players also struggle to make the first 11, Mata,Martinez,Alonso,Silva to name a few - oh and let's not forget Santi.

And for those who say he hasn't done anything of note in the big games - let me remind you he has played a huge part in the winning goals of ALL 3 major competition wins for Spain - if I'm not wrong he assisted in all of them ,coming off the bench to effectively turn the game each time.

Oh sorry, or have I forgotten that European Championships and World Cups are inferior to our over-hyped Premier League. My bad.

Now I'm not saying he's the midfield answer we are looking for,but to say he couldn't be more effective than say,Ramsey/Arteta is just plain embarrassing.

Look, If you just don't like him, fair enough - but enough of the Cesc being shit or not high grade enough for us bollocks. Who do we think we are - Barcelona.....

...lite?

Take Messi out of Barca and the Xavi-Iniesta tactic of pass the ball to Messi and hope he does something will no longer work and thus they won't be seen as the best.

Last time I looked Messi doesn't play for Spain - guess they're not World and twice European champions. And something tells me Spain would have won fuck all if Xavi-Iniesta were taken out of those teams.

:doh:

Calm down, Bunsco. Your mad rant won't change how I feel about the ****.

He's a flop..... Don't believe me? Ask the Barca fans then.

He's also undeniably a massive, massive **** who deserves no less slating than the other ****s who ran off.

Would want him nowhere near our club again.

Good enough post for me......as NQ said we would get him for almost nothing considering the clauses and missing payments (of which I am not 100% sure of but Barca must still owe us) bring him in and surround him with a few other additions.....

Gervinho has been left behind for our tour !!! !!!!!

Hopefully that means some mugs have bought him
