A few FCB News: Pep to renew? Keita to Liverpool?

Keita going to Liverpool?
Reported by the SUN, such news source is usually not taken seriously. However, it worth taking a good look of it.

Keita is 32, and playing regularly as a substitution in the second-half, usually have 15-20 minutes, if not more. He is a good solid substitution, although every time we play him I feel our team would run out of good steam.

He just played well in African Nations Cup, that might help to boost the price, and also with the second team youngsters coming to the first team. (Thiago is the most noted and may consider him as a successoor of Xavi), the time for Keita would be really limited. Maybe it is good for both parties to depart. However, with there are still three titles we are competing for, a man extra is always the advantage!
Prediction: Summer transfer, with some $15-20 m.

Guardiola to Renew?
It seems the club has some difficulty to convince Guardiola to stay. Well, the coach mentioned before that, this would be his last year as coach, due to a great pressure to manage a team. However, the management won't want him to leave since he would be the one who could motivate players most. If there is another alternative, that would be Luis Enrique, who is now the coach of AS Roma.

Anyway, in Pep, we trust. That is the words we use most among my Catalan friends and fellow cules. We will see how things develop.

Barça B, Brilliant Young Players in form
This year we have two impressive young players coming into scene. Issac Cuenca and Cristian Tello. They are bold and daring, in their apearance in Copa del Rey games. It helps a lot when we need extra "feet" to compete on all fronts. (Thiago and dos Santos are not mentioned here because I knew them already.)

One more player to be mention is Javiar Espinosa, dubbed as "New Iniesta" I did not really see him play but he jumps into the news lately. He is very white, from de la Mancha, and also love wine. (mentioned in report)

It seems we have our second generation growing. (second Xavi=Thiago, Second Iniesta=Espinosa?) We shall just wait and see more development in them. Although it is too early to tell, I am still quite postive on the training system so far.

Jordi Alba or others?
After watching the highlight of the second leg of the semifinal, I believe Jordi Alba would be a better player for us to solve the left back solution. Very fast, very strong, and also have a good sense in the attack coordiation. I do not think any other players, even with better talents, can play so well-integrated into our formation now. The player has a great incentive to play for Barça. (ok, shall I mentoned again that he is Catalan?:P), and he could be merged with the team in no time!  I am so looking forward to see a positive transfer news coming in summer, if not earlier.
