a barca team to take back the title next year?: valdes; old man thuram, indie puyol, mafia barzagli, ginger riise; 'i look bad in that advert' iniesta, socially excluded xavi, of-the-brotherhood yaya; its easy berbatov, rat face messi, and the white ronaldo schevchenko....

any takers?

Guardiola and Rijkaard who come as a Barca Coach if the player can't perform in the pitch they can not win any thing, little bit furtune is also needed for the football

What a joke !!! I have no doubt that Barcelona will rue the day they sacked Rijkaard.

And who the hell is Guardiola anyway ? Which major trophies has this guy ever won ? At least Rijkaard won Champions League, and there aren't many coaches in Europe who have been able to achieve that.

I don´t think that Guardiola is the right decision for barca, there are better coach´s on the market!

guardiola is the wrong decision they need someone like mourinho or scolari. other than winning most matches these coaches scare the opponents.

There's always a first time. Look what Grant did in Chelsea-absolutely anonymous less than a year ago, he did more in just one season than the superstar of all coaches did for 3. Let's judge the guy after we've seen him in action.
