    9 cm players? Don't make me laugh.

    Once you take out Iniesta/Xavi/Busquets, their midfield looks very average for barcelona standards.

    And what midfield looks brilliant once you take out the best two or three players?

    Barcelona, if they didn't sell thiago.

    Yes, starting the second most games in the league last season, they must really hate him <doh>

    Being their second best player in the first half of the season.

    Perhaps Thiago and Cesc don't want to be back ups. Rooney certainly seems to have an issue with it.

    Was he selected for the big games in the CL or the league games against Real or the Copa dely Rey final? Serious question, I can't be arsed to look it up, you can do it for me.

    They think hes sloppy and not good enough to play center midfield.

    the fans also think he should of been sold ahead of Thiago. Cesc is a PL player really.

    if he was it was as a false 9, winger or striker as he rarely played CM.

    I think he missed their big games though, Tito rarely strayed away from the 3 in midfield.

    I know you spent years trying to convince everyone that players went to Chelsea for the "project" but I doubt even you believe that Falcao grew up dreaming of playing for Monaco and the lure was so great that he was prepared to give up European football. Or indeed that Cavani has always harboured aspirations to play in the French league, with PSG his preferred destination. Had Roman been able to outbid and outpay all other clubs for those players, as he was at the start of his tenure, then he would have got them. As it is there are now richer owners around and even Roman has to accept that if he gets into a pissing contest for players whose prime motivation is money then he's the one who's going to get wet.

    Or maybe hd didn't go higher as he's mindful of FFP. You're right there are richer owners but he is well capable of triggering Cavani's release clause. He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

    He could have kept bidding but he would have been outbid in the end. It's no doubt a blow to his ego but he pretty much started the trend of super rich guys playing real life fantasy football.

    Don't get too upset, Roman can still outbid most clubs for players who fancy a project.

    Does it matter. Unless Monaco and PSG manage to find millions of fans in the next year or two they won't be playing European football anytime soon. Chelsea however will be.
