Compelling comments. I'll have to look up this Hernanes fellow...

The star, the Captain, then...the controversial keeper...and THEN our living-legendary strikers? Hmmm...

I didn't think of that, Ramzi, regarding Milito. He hasn't been tested yet, so nobody knows if he will be back, or just need another conga line of more surgeries.

I'd LOVE for Henry to accept that Larsson role. Man, if we didn't have him against Arsenal in that CL final....

Wenger won't sell Kolo, but he would be a nice defender in our system. He's fast, can play in the center or on the right in the back, and also even play defensive mid. However, he's not particularly tall.

Very True Kevin.

The thing is we will be better(and with deeper squad) with Hernanes, Ribery, Eto'o and henry. Than with EITHER Hernanes or Ribery, added to (Henry or Eto'o) plus a new striker.

I excluded Offloading henry. Because we can NOT afford losing him. Or else even Ribery and a striker will not be enough. You cannt rotate iniesta on the left with Ribery (midfield is shallow without Gudi, Hleb and with no other signings). So ribery will be our only reliable left wing. He cannt even rotate with messi.

Unless if we will get a striker who MAY BE able to play Henry role (Benzema), which is unlikely (Ribery + Benzema=too expensive), and nothing insure it works. Tevez then? I am sure not a lot are supporting that idea as well :D

And I think Henry can serve more than one year for Barcelona. If he accepted the Larsson Role one year from now, he can even serve three more years with his positioning sense in the box and finishing.

Five years for Eto'o is not possible. So his case is critical at the moment.

And isnt it more affordable to keep Milito at least one more year before selling him? First we cannt get a good deal for him now. I even think its better to keep them till January. Till then we will be able to test the other new options in defense (like Henrique, Upgraded Caceres, One year older Marquez and Puyol...).

Kolo isn't Yaya, Alex. He's a defender, and would be pretty awesome in the back line, frankly. I'm imagining he and Pique side-by-side, flanked by Alves and Abidal.

Holy crap!
