Nominally Iniesta is playing as a winger, but really he sits in midfield. I will certainly be happy to have the old 4-3-3 back, though. I was watching some highlights from last season and it just isn't the same without everything that Eto'o brings to the side.<br /><br />Gudjohnsen is a support striker, I think - he'd play well slightly behind a proper center striker. Not convinced he's got the pace for the wing position, but a 4-4-2 with him and Saviola partnered would actually work really well - not possible given the other players involved, of course (where would Giuly and Ronnie go?) but it's a thought.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09807392842004716065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112228.post-14080117052352388342006-12-14T16:25:00.000+13:002006-12-14T16:25:00.000+13:00Hi Linda, very good article here.

The reason I bring it up is that since Ronnie is so poor at defending, it might be better to allow the mid third greater coverage. Barça certainly have the midfield players for 4-4-2. Once Eto'o returns revert back to 4-3-3.<br /><br />If that's not a good option, then let Gudjohnsen play right winger. The Icelander plays better deep anyway. Now that Saviola is fit again, put the Argentine as center striker. I like poachers in the middle, and the Rabbit is definitely a poacher.Greg Leon Guerrerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092723329275592258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112228.post-74854080055669749122006-12-14T07:57:00.000+13:002006-12-14T07:57:00.000+13:00here is perarnau's blog.

For one, that person won't be playing a whole lot, and also it would inhibit the development of young Dos Santos, who I mentioned in my post.<br /><br />In my opinion, Barca shouldn't go out and splash out the cash in January. Perhaps a young left-back should be considered at the end of the season, but other than that I can't see where a big-money signing would come in. Alves is wonderful, but you're right, the right-back position is overcrowded as it is.<br /><br />Similarly, the rumours about Diego Milito seem equally unbelievable. While it would make me happy as I rate him highly, he would be Barca's 8th forward when everyone is fit, which is plainly Galactico-era-Real Madrid-ridiculous.<br /><br />So I don't want any signings. And I believe that's what the suits at Barca think as well.<br /><br />Yrsa: I wouldn't play Saviola, Ezquerro or Eidur on the right - it severely limits all 3 of them. Someone who is suited to the position is best. I agree with you that Messi probably can't play 90 minutes twice a week - whenever he has he's gotten injured. Hopefully it's not a sign of his career to come. (Perarnau's piece on Messi? Could you point me in its direction?)<br /><br />Alves will stay at Sevilla, I think. They're not stupid enough to sell him yet.<br /><br />John: it's been a good year sporting-wise for New Zealand - especially the All Blacks, which makes everyone very happy. My other major wish when it comes to New Zealand sport is for us to win the America's Cup back (sailing, held in Valencia in 2007). I was heartbroken when Team New Zealand lost to Alinghi right on my doorstep last time.<br /><br />I'm sure the boys from Auckland City are enjoying their rare moment in the spotlight. Even if they lose both games, at least it's more excusable than the New Zealand Knights' awful record in the Australian A-League.<br /><br />Saviola is in the Barca squad and I think will definitely play if fit. Fingers crossed he makes it fitness-wise.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09807392842004716065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112228.post-12337137436998067602006-12-13T20:52:00.000+13:002006-12-13T20:52:00.000+13:00Hi Linda,

What a race it was despite the whether conditions.<br /><br />By the way, I’m sure Auckland City must be getting a lot of attention in NZ as they are representing the whole Oceania continent at the World Club Championship. Based on what I’ve seen from their first match against Al-Ahly, they did their best despite the odds were obviously against them.<br /><br />Is Saviola included in the Barca squad for the tournament?<br /><br />John<br />MalaysiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112228.post-83564792438382503292006-12-13T08:38:00.000+13:002006-12-13T08:38:00.000+13:00I guess both Saviola and Ezquerro and Eidur can pl...I guess both Saviola and Ezquerro and Eidur can play on the right wing. I don't think Messi is someone who can play twice a week for the full time, (did you read marti perarnau's piece on Messi?)<br />Alves won't go to Barcelona I think, it was an option, but right now Belleti is not doing badly. from what i know alves is not that good at attacking.<br />he would be too expensive as well.Yrsa Roca Fannberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146903737614013021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112228.post-70722164933669080462006-12-13T04:18:00.000+13:002006-12-13T04:18:00.000+13:00Good post, as usual, but it left me wondering abou...Good post, as usual, but it left me wondering about Barcelona's January potential and desires. With such an injured squad, who will Barca target during the transfer window?<br /><br />You seem to suggest that there needs to be more cover behind Giuly on the right wing, but would it be wise, in your opinion, to throw down cash for another right-wing player?<br /><br />And what of the rumors linking Alves to Barca? Doesn't that seem a bit over-the-top with Zambrotta starting (and I believe doing fine) and Belletti and Oleguer fully capable of filling in when they are healthy. While it's no doubt a good idea to get a player of Alves' quality, his price is probably too high to truly consider, unless of course you're the Mourinho/Abramovich spending juggernaut.<br /><br />Will Barcelona spend in January or stick with what they have (which is working, by and large) until Eto'o and Messi are back to full fitness?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
