Dammit, I cant beleive it!

The ARGENTINEAN COULD ENTER OPERATIONS LIKE THE ONE OF AIMAR Or AYALA
Riquelme, for sale and Sorín and Mendieta, outside
L.F. RED And S. FONT. Barcelona

Neither Frank Rijkaard nor Txiki Beguiristain count on Riquelme for the Barcelona of the next season and have put to the player in the market. The azulgrana club is arranged to listen to any type of supply by the player. That means that it would be arranged to sell it, to yield it or to include it in some operation to contract players. There are several reasons by which Barcelona wants to come off itself the Argentinean. In the first place his under yield in the previous season. Riquelme has not marked the differences as it were expected of him. It has counted neither for Van Gaal nor for Antic. With neither it has been to title and it has had problems with both. This one is another one of the reasons by which the exit looks for to him. Its character has not helped him in the relation with the technicians nor with their companions. The adaptation of Riquelme has not been good in clothes. In the club the idea that exists Riquelme does not give the player profile who Laporta wants in Barcelona.

Another fundamental reason that exists in addition he is the one of the extra communitarian. For the next campaign it only can have three in group. At the moment the Barça has to six: Saviola, Riquelme, Sorín, Rochemback, Geovanni and Rustu reason why are forced to come off itself at least three.


:eek: :eek: :eek: It's a bit shocking for me. I have a feeling that we will sell him for nothing, and in an other team he will be superb:dazed:
 
Guys..let him go..we must stop thinking what might happen if Mendieta or Riquelmee or anybody are about to shine in another club.They have proved NOTHING

Especially on Riquelme,you can change and improve your technique/tactic into the field etc but if you don't have the spirit or the mentality it'll never work

Somehow i can't see Riquelme playing top football in any European club,unless he works his @$s off to prove us wrong next year.Which i doubt
 
It is very hard to judge him only after a season. He should be given another chance. Plus why not loan him than sell him. Loan him to a smaller club where he plays full season and then he can return.
Also he wasnt given sufficient oppurtunity i feel. Look at Saviola , if he had come this season he too might have been up for sale cos he did not fit Van Gaal plans and was on the bench mostly. It was his last season that saved him.
Agreed Riquelme might not be as good as Ronaldo or RVN who shine in their first season itself but this was his first season in Europe. One more chance is needed I feel.
 
One of the big Italian teams probably would have loaned Riquelme his first year to develop. La Liga cant loan to team in the same division can they? Italy has allowed this for years and now the EPL is also going to allow it.
 
I think that was to be expected, don´t you guys think so?
I mean we will again continue to play in an attacking manner, which means there´ll be almost mo room for physically slow players. Let´s face it, FDB had to leave, now Roman, next will be Mendi. Roman will do much better in the italian league. There he´ll fit into the conseption of many coaches. It´s a pity, I know....

There´s a small difference between Saviola and Riquelme. Saviola showed a lot of will to improve his skills. I even do believe that he´s quite a bit faster compared to last year. Although his dynamics doesn´t totally fit our new conseption, he seems to be very determined to improve his skills. However, I feel a bit sorry for all you Riquelme supporters, but his departure is probably the best for both sides.
 
WTF now!?Relax,we wont sell him,i know!Laporta just wants to have great Argentian trio in our club,and he will buy Aimar,but Kluivert will stay at our club,like Riquelme.So what is problem?We have Riquelme Aimar Overmars and Luis Enrique,maybe Ronaldinho with Motta litle up there and Kluivert & Saviola in attack.
THere is place for them :rolleyes: i hope.
 
It's saddening in a way, but he can't stay. If we want to play attacking football, then Román will destroy the system. His lack of pace is a real handicap in a fast-paced league like La Liga and I'm 90% sure, he will never settle in La Liga.

I agree with spAd!'s last comment. Riquelme is nowhere near world class material at the moment. He's in his mid-20s and he hasn't done nothing whatsoever in Europe. If he works his socks off at a club next season, which I don't see, then he will have a chance of being world class. But his attitude doesn't aid his development.

Serie A is the best league for him, definitely, because his game is all about technique (which players need in Serie A) and pace is not as important. It will be perfect for him. I can't question his technique, but he needs to work harder. Hell, if players were rated on their technique, then Kluivert would be a legend :rolleyes:

We need fast players like Aimar (I'm dreaming ;) ), who play in that forward/support striker role and we need a strong goalscorer. I still don't understand how Saviola is going to fit in our plans :eek:
 
the best option is to loan him to an italian team and if he shines there then we can gladly have him back

I think so too. He has proven that he can score goals (also in the big matches), and if the team just gets some more confidence plus someone to deliver the right balls for saviola, I think he will be quite a profile next year.

OK, explain how. Thanks.

If we play a 3-4-3 formation, which is suicidal with the defence we've got, then Saviola can fit in, but I can't see Saviola playing as a lone striker or as a support striker. Maybe we might something similar to a Nihat-Kovacevic combination? I could see that happening, but with rumours of Aimar arriving, things don't look good for the little rabbit.
 
God...no...HURTS...HURTS...
We should give him definitely a chance in next year...
What is this???? Why they want to sell so talented player only because he had one poor season...he needs time to get used to spanish style of play...the Aimar case show that this is normal not playing good in his first season for player from south america...:fero: :fero:

But surely something like the Nihat-Kovacevic combo, with Aimar as playmaker would work?

I know. The only main thing Saviola has in common with Nihat is pace. Nihat (and Aimar) has a better football brain and create goals. Plus, he can take set pieces as well. Do tell me how Saviola is going to fit in our plans, because I'm stuck :eek:

I agree that he is not the creater type, but dont we already have enough of those?

I think that he can become the goal-poacher we are all longing for. His ballcontrol is good, he has the pace, against popular opinion I actually think his finishing is good too. His placement on the field is good as well.
We must remember that he is only 20 (or is it 21 by now?),
and some things come with experience.
