Barcelona had a prompt response to criticism after the two consecutive games without a victory (0-0 in Mestalla against Valencia and 1-2, at the Camp Nou against Rubin Kazan in CL). 

It was evening of Seydou Keita, who, although not consistently a first team player, entered the conveyor belt. Transferred from Seville, where he had managed only 4 goals in 31 games, the Mali midfielder has scored 14 times in a year for Barca. Today he scored a hat-trick.

After the failure in the 2010 World Cup preliminaries, ‘Ibracadabra’ returned in force to the club. Spared against Valencia, the swede returned to score a double against Zaragoza. Percentage of Zlatan in Barcelona shirt is sensational: the match and goal.

Pep Guardiola proved last season that he is a technician of great value and that he knows his team potential. They say that once you have done great performance, the harder it is to stay on top of the pyramid. For this to be possible, the Barcelona coach has made a secret list of football players that would like to transfer, where needed, even in January.

Thus, the main target for the Ajax Amsterdam Guardiola is Uruguayan Luis Suarez (22 years). However, in this race  have joined Olympique Lyon and AC Milan.

With him, the catalan coach has a number of players in sight, mainly midfielders covering gaps due to the departure of Yaya Toure and Seydou Keita, for the African Cup. FC Barcelona want to recruit Patrick Vieira, in January, when the transfer period starts.

Then, according to Spanish newspaper Sport, FC Barcelona is interested in: Julio Baptista (27 years, AS Rome), Steven Defour (21 years, Standard Liege), Ibrahim Afellay (23 years, PSV Eindhoven), Hernanes (24 years, FC Sao Paulo) and Christian Poulsen (29 years, Juventus).

Manchester City and Barcelona have reached an agreeament over Robinho’s future. Barcelona are willing to pay the same amount for the player that City payed Real Madrid a year back (£32,5 million).

Robinho will recive the same paycheckas at City.

All that stands beetwen Robinho and a winter move to Barcelona is the approval of City owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, but knowing Joan Laporta’s negotiations skills the deal should be sealed and delivered.

Only one goal needs Guardiola’s ‘magician’ to get in  Barcelona’s history!
If Ibrahimovic will score this evening from 21.00 with Almeria, he would reach six goals in six stages on his debut in Spain – Barcelona’s record for a player.
Today is his birthday and Ibrahimovic want to celebrate his 28 years aniversary with a goal.

Ibrahimovic will overcome on Cesar Rodriguez, who, in 1950-1951, scored in every game in the first 5 stages for Barcelona.

After four stages, Barcelona and Real Madrid go shoulder to shoulder. They share leadership chair in Spain, being tied.
The only difference is that the “Pep-Team’s scored 14 goals and receive three, while” Florence-Team’s scored 13 times and collected two goals. Everything is perfect equality and the two stars of the team. Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi had scored five goals each and both are going to become top scorer at the end of the season. “I’m glad I scored in every game so far, but I feel that I can do more, I need to play more games to accommodate perfectly with the team,” said Cristiano Ronaldo after he entered Wednesday’s against Villarreal. Messi is more modest and says that is just a player in great team of Barcelona: “I would not score without my colleagues, I do not decide games by myself. I’m Just one of 11 players entering the field” said Messi.
In these circumstances, “El Clasico” is expected worldwide. The crash between the ”galactics” and “aliens” will be held on November 29, on “New Camp”.

Barcelona is rolling. Messi, Ibrahimovic, Dani Alves and Keita did make show with Atletico in a match where the goal
are being from the first minutes, until the end.
Barcelona is in first place in Primera Division after three stages in the Aliens had fun on the field. In the match against Atletico, Pep Guardiola’s students have made sensation since the 2nd minute when Ibrahimovic opened the score on the New Camp.

Only 16 years old, georgian player Giorgi Chanturia is the most promising junior de la Barca

Barcelona has discovered a new alien in her yard! Georgian Chanturia, aged 16, plays the club’s youth team and convinced everyone that he can become a star in all the rules.
Georgi was launched at the international level three years ago at a tournament in which he won the trophy for best player, although he was only 13 years.

He already has 300 games in Barcelona shirt. Pep Guardiola hopes that defender will to continue to play next season. But Carles Puyol has refused a new offer to extend the contract from Joan Laporta. The reason? In 2010, Catalan team can not guarantee the post holder in the center of defense player who will have then 32 years.

The arrival of Cigrinsky on the New Camp  jeopardize tenure of team captain. Ukrainian player even before transfer to FC Barcelona, the move was confirmed as, Puyol worry in several interviews that he would lose the post holder. AS wrote that Manchester City and Chelsea are interested in the player. Last, can not make transfers until 2011 because FIFA ban. Puyol wants to end his career in Italy, to AC Milan.
