What's your fav Barça-player ever?

If you'd like to add someone to this list, just write down his name in a reply, I'll add him.

What a difficult question...

Koeman, Romario, Stoichkov were the guys that made me fall in love with this great team. :)

To think of it in a patriotic way, Hans Krankl is my favourite.

But speaking of the best ever, I really think it was Johan Cruyff. Don´t know if I already mentioned it, that I´d love to see him back with us. :)

So my vote goes to Cruyff. Because of what he has done and hopefully will do for Barça.

Pila> I don´t mind!:) But I don´t think that a hardworking defensive midfielder during the Cruyff era should be voted as best Barça player ever...;)
Here is my list:
1. Diego Armando Maradona
2. Johan Cruyff
3. Romário
4. Stoichkov
5. De La Peña
6. Guardiola
7. Rivaldo
8. Zubizarreta
9. Óscar
10. Koeman
...And the rest...

It's really really very difficult to decide, I want to vote for many players like Cruyff, Romario, Stoichkov, Rivaldo, Koeman, Ronaldo, Guardiola:D...I hope that I can have 5 votes, I think Cruyff, Stoichkov and Koeman are the 3 most favourite to win. I vote for Rivaldo just because he still hasn't got any votes yet:p, I can't vote for Pep but I think someone will do it for me.

Figo
Traiter or no traitor he is still the best Barce player ever tie with Maradona ask one of the candicates yourself his name is Johan Cruyff.
And guess what him like Figo was also ****ed by the Barce management.
 
#13 ·
Grat poll, truely... BUT ... where the hell is Migueli? He played 391 league games in the Barca-defence. No other Barca-player ever made so many games for this club in league. Just to compare: Guardiola, who can truely be called a Barca-legend made 239 until today. So what is MIGUELI than ?! A God I guess. At least my vote nevertheless is on Luis Enrique, but to be true: that is a bit subjective. For reasons I would have to vote Migueli.

FIGO
I dont give a Fu(k if you dont put his name there because some people actually know that Figo is the best player ever and if you want to be cry babies than be babys.
I like Barce the club but right now i hate the management of the club its just a pity people dont see things in true contrast.
AT LEAST GIVE HIM THE RESPECT OF BEING ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS IN BARCE WHICH THIS POLL IS FOR.

Sorry, but as far as I can see, you are the only one whining, cause Mr. Traitor isn´t on the list. :)
I think, in order to compete as the favourite Barça-player ever, your whole career in Barcelona has to be perfect, including your good-bye.

No

Bier! Good one!
I'll add him immediately. I knew I forgot someone :)

For the Figo-lovers:
No he is not the best Barça-player ever....
And for the real Barça-fans he isn't their favourite (anymore, maybe). So I think there's no need to include him. It's a popularity-contest. Not who's the best.

my fave player for barza was romario cause i actually saw him play

but on a patriotic note ill have to mention hugo sotil

Since this is a popularity contest then I guess Figo won't win. But let us be honest, Figo is the best player Barca has had for over 10 years. Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Lizarazu, Oliver Khan, Peter Schmicheal, Mario Jardel, Philip Cocu, Raul, Mendieta, Guardiola, Rui Costa, Eusebio...do you want me to go on...these are some of the players I have documented as saying that Luis Figo is one of the best if not the best player they have seen lace them up.

Rivaldo and Ronaldo are two of the best if not the best players in the world. Why the hell would they put their reputations on the line and say Figo is one of the best. Ronaldo was quoted in an interview just two weeks ago with "Western Union" and said "Luis Figo is one of the best if not the best player I've ever had the opportunity to play with". I have yet to hear from a player publicly state (other than a French International) that Zinedine Zidane is the best in the world.

Lizarazu who is a French international was quoted recently as saying that Figo is the "best player he's ever played with or against". Apparently he is currently in a little bit of hot water for these comments. Point is, players consistently come out and say these good things about Figo.

So for you not to put him on the list is a shame. Remember what Figo said "in time the truth will come out". And lately all the press have finally come out along with many football critics and stated that Barcelona made a grave mistake in "letting Luis Figo go". They were making reference to their soft stance concerning the Kluivert situation at the moment and said that Barca's staff simply have little loyalty for their players. They pay their players what they feel they deserve, and refuse to deal rationally with agents and players demands.

So don't go blaming Figo. More truth regarding this matter leeks out every few months and has been clearing Figo's name in the press. The press and former Barca players seem to be behind Figo on this matter.

koeman romario stoitckov have all been better than figo
they actually took us to euro glory
no one is saying figo wasnt great for us but he hasnt been the best in the 90s
 
#23 ·
Again, a player can't take a team to glory, the team does that. If Figo wins with Real this year, and it certainly looks that way, it is Real Madrid that'll win the Primeira Liga and not Luis Figo.

Many of the best players in the world have never won a championship. Figo has won many not because of him. It takes a team to win.

I never heard a player say "Stoickov or Koeman are the best". Like I said, every year players come forward and say that Figo is the best player they've seen.

Do you think Figo is the second most popular player in the world for no reason? (Ronaldo is the the most popular) I think the reasons are clear.

I'm tired of saying Figo this and Figo that. The day will come when I will put together a video of Figo's greatest hits. No player in Europe today makes defenders look as defenseless and vulnerable as Figo. I have plenty of tape at home as proof. One day I will put together a video.

So, you think you're opinion is as valuable as: Ronaldo's, Rivaldo's, Lizarazu's, and countless others who have played with and against him? These people have all played against the best and every year I hear the same thing: Figo is...great, the best, the strongest, the this, the that.

I never heard anyone, including players, sports journalists, critics, coaches say that Koeman or Stoickov was the best. Yes, I've read articles where a journalist will say they have talent. They are good. But never the best.

The term 'the best' is used for 'the best'. Romario, Ronaldo, Figo, Zidane, Rui Costa, Roberto Baggio, etc...

i dont know how anybody can say figo is barcas best ever. if you say he is, then it must mean you dont know much about barcas history. comparing figo to hagi, stoitchkov, ronaldol, romario, and yes, EL DIEGO (who got my vote)
is stupid.

by the way, where was LINEKER?!?!?!
 
#26 ·
I believe Cocu was quoted saying Ronaldo was the best player he ever played with. Kluivert was quoted saying Rivaldo was the best player he played with. The rest I don't know. But anyway, those guys now eachother, and they will always say how gifted other players are. And besides, Figo better than Cruijff? Sure, Figo is ONE of the best. But not THE best.
