:D Whatever happened to him??where does he play now?


He is and probably deservedly so..after his CL performances..but IMO in terms of ability Messi slightly edges Kaka.
Olivera is everywhere and nowhere.

Remember how young Messi his. He has a few years to develop before reaching the age Kaka is now.

He is scary now and will be terrifying in years to come. I hope Juve will have a Claudio Gentile equivalent when we come up against Barca in the future.

Whoever watched Barca's game today..did you see how much chances Henry missed..it looks like he swapped his finishing skills with Adebayor.:shifty:

I watched the 2nd half and Henry could have had a hattrick.

Looked suspiciously like a broken ankle for the Zaragoza player, I hope I'm wrong though.

messi was staggering tonight, barca were electric, especially 1st half, Henry could have had 6 goals! just wasn't happening for him, I think Kaka is the best in the world but only a matter of time before Leo's no 1!

Messi is on fire now 2 goals in every game ... is he a striker???

Henry goals rate is decreased because in barca , all of their player is look like a striker for me.. just say dinho, messi,dos santos, iniesta,deco they can go forward and henry just need to open spaces for them to strike.

they midfilefer is go forward and looking for strike, they have skill to do that properly. henry makes the things easier cause he is BIG THREAT of opponent defense and that will open up space for their another BIG THREAT from midfilder.

I can't wait to see Barca vs Madrid this season. What a show it will be?

barca gave a fantastic perofmance to win 4-1 , messi and inniesta were on top form , another 2 goals from messi to make it 4 goals in 2 matches , henry is wasting a lot of chances but who cares since messi is the man to do the work

Too think that we were linked to Iniesta this summer is shameful we didn't sign him. He really has been improving every season and dare I say it, is playing better than Ronaldinho.

a great talent..i dont know where barca finds these kids..Giovanni,Bojan,Iniesta,Fabregas and Messi..

@M_Ellayan..have you heard of the other kid we "tapped up" from your academy..he's called Fran Merida..the kid is definitely something..saw a few highlights of him with the Arsenal reserves..looks like you guys are gonna be our feeder club:D

greatest and dirtiest performance i ever seen from a defender against wee diego, think claudio would have wore maradona´s shorts if he had any space left in them:lol:
The way Gentile played Maradona in '82 looks like the only way to play Messi now i.e. play dirty.
still think a little "frimness" could put off messi the way tronaldo was maeked out of the game against milan in the CL. at the moment if you stop messi you would stop barca

real on the other hand are playing awful and winning games, yet no-one is complaining about the performances.......just goes to show that it was not simply capellos tactics but the fact he is an asshole

that transfer is never gonna happen, iniesta and xavi along with puyol are gonna be barca players for the next 10 years or until they are replaced with youngsters later in their careers. barca simply will not sell them

i think thats absolutely shameful by english clubs overall. That kid was barca's youth team captain or something like that and he wasnt tapped up, he was stolen.

Thats only cause english teams can offer players under 18 pro contracts while in spain and italy they can't

i agree..it is wrong..and English teams are taking advantage of the loophole..i believe Man Utd did the same with Pique..and also us with Fabregas(though we were forced to pay compensation)
