Kind of looks like the Rovers kit.

The away jersey, as always, sucks ass.

One really good thing about getting so many high quality players is that everyone will be competing to get into the starting line-up. Keita and Yaya will be playing as best they can to start, Henry and Eto’o will be competing, Ronaldinho Arshavin and Iniesta will be playing at their best and the defence will be scrambling for a starting line-up.

The home jersey is ok but I liked the one from last season much more. Arshavin would be a great signing. I think we should have Henry in the middle.

Wow I’m really starting to warm up to the new home shirt after seeing it on Keita. Looks much better.

Pep said he is imagining keita on the left.

and all this talk about getting a number 9, makes me think Pep doesnt see henry in the middle. he’s back on the left like last season.

Obviously I would put Eto’o on for Henry, but that’s how I roll. And I think Arshavin would start over Keita, too.

Okay. Wrench in the works. Eto’o AND Ronaldinho stay. What happens then, aside from none of the kids getting a spot in the side? Starting XI? As I see it:

Valdes, Puyol, Alves, Caceres, Abidal, Yaya, Keita, Xavi, Messi, Henry, Iniesta (with the quick hook, baited with Arshavin, ready).

Eto’o or Ronaldinho are the first subs, Marquez first sub if we have to hold a lead.

Now, I know….Eto’o and Ronaldinho off the bench? Craziness! The two most expensive subs in the world.

So let’s hear it, folks.

interview with txiki on the FCB website:

“We are looking at our alternatives to cover three positions: a ‘number 9,’ a winger, and an attacking mid.”

He says that Adebayor is interesting, but “it is not our only option.”

“The quality of Arshavin is beyond debate, he is having great Euro 2008.” though Txiki has not wanted to dwell on this theme, before the transcendant match played tonight between Spain and Russia in Vienna.

He also said that if Ronnie is with Barca when the Olympic Games roll around, he wants to make sure he is with Barca to face the August 14 champs league qualifier.
