Hey I came across this fantastic article from the Observer written by Paul Hayward and thought should share it with all of you. It critically reviews our very own Ibra and he famed transfer from Inter Milan for Eto’o plus around 40 Million Euros. So please read it and feel free to comment on it!

Amantino Mancini, Marco Materazzi and Marko Arnautovic have been ruled out of Inter’s Champions League clash with Barcelona this week. According to Sport, Mancini and Materazzi are both a week away from full fitness, while Arnautovic is still in the final phase of his recovery period. Both these players will surely be missed by Jose Mourinho who was seen plotting the downfall of our side in our first La Liga game at Nou Camp against Sporting Gijon.

Our MidField Maestro Xavi cannot wait to take on Inter Milan in our Champions League showdown on Wednesday, but he believes his team is better equipped for the win. The two giants lock horns at the San Siro in Matchday 1 of the group phase, and Xavi thinks that it will be a cracking fixture.

Barca beat Getafe thanks to goals from Ibra and Messi. After a hard-fought first half in which the Madrid side hit the woodwork twice, Barca turned it on in the second.

Barca first spotted the 16-year-old three-years ago during an international tournament.

The Catalan giants have been keeping close tabs on him, and he enjoyed a trial stint with the club’s junior side in the summer.

Clubs from England and Germany had begun to show an interest, but Barca have now moved to secure his signature after agreeing a deal with his club Vake Tiblisi.

After a 100 Day gap, Andres Inietsa was finally declared fit to be a part of the squad. This would surely bring a big relief to the squad and Pep. Barca is due to play 7 games in the next 22 days stating away at Getafe. The run-in includes crucial Champions League games against Inter and Dynamo. The inclusion of Iniesta will be a big boost considering the amazing season he had last year where he threatened to and at moments eclipsed even our own Messiah!

The International Break ( Really do not understand why it is called a break when all the players end up playing 2 International Matches in it! ) is about to be over and Barca faces a run into 5 Matches in the League and 2 in the Champions League. There has already been a lot of talk about our squad being a little thin in certain areas like the Defense. So playing so many matches in such a short span will definitely ask a lot of questions from Pep’s team. Are they up for it? Here is an In-Depth Analysis of the Squad to focus more light on this issue.

Barcelona does not seem to be content with the expoits in the Transfer Market and is already planning to target for specific players in the January Transfer Window, according to El Mundo Deportivo, sporting director Txiki Begiristain has already identified his targets for January.
