Pep Guardiola was officially presented as new coach of Barcelona and confirmed that in planning the next season does not have three of the major stars of the workforce, Ronaldinho, Deco and Eto, to understand that all three have completed their cycle at Barca .

"We are contemplating the template without them," said Guardiola during his presentation, followed live on a hundred people, "the coach thinks so after analyzing performance issues and the seasons leading the team, and also little tangible issues ".

Guardiola, accompanied by club president Joan Laporta, and sports director, Aitor "Txiki" Begiristain, insisted that the departure of Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Deco is "the best for the team," a feeling that the club already began broadcasting for months but that no member of the relevant public entity had explicitly.

The new coach of Barcelona stressed that working in planning the template along the technical secretary assuming that Ronaldinho, Eto and Deco will leave the club and acknowledged that the club looks for 'new', a centre forward to take the place of Eto.

When asked specifically by the company-Ronaldinho Eto, architect largely on the recent successes of the club, confessed that Guardiola would be both "if he knew that iban to sixty goals." "If they were at their level, they would be with us. We plan template without them, but if you end up staying, I will give life to return to their level. Not only for them, also for the third goalkeeper, at least from Monday to Saturday Because on Sunday I will have to elect eleven to play the game, "he said.

On Ronaldinho, Guardiola confessed that "circumstances" require that the Brazilian left the club because of a "deteriorating situation". "If you feel like he wants, he feels that it can once again become the player who was, perhaps we could raise. But circumstances are what they are. I want a strong dressing room, where everyone feels important. That is fundamental. Unless these aspects Blind, we will be less strong. And if Ronnie felt this would be with us, "he added.

Guardiola also revealed that the club are looking for a "profile" of centre to replace striker Samuel Eto, "a nine that is very good and that it is followed by Henry and Bojan, to feel that the three owners."

"Whoever comes, I will look perfect. And I do not complain, because I have a template cojonudo" apostilló the new coach of club team, which also qualified participating actively in the decision of the signings. I frame lines, but those who pay and contracts they sign," said in reference to Laporta and Begiristain.

Joan Laporta, president 'Supporters of FC Barcelona', introduced the new ruler of the Barca dressing room. "I hope that we Pep many successes for many years," said a proud Laporta. Por its part Txiki Begiristain, Barcelona's sports director, analyzed the reasons for which his former colleague arrived at the Barcelona bench. "I am very calm because I trust this decision creates a lot," said Txiki.

Guardiola, very excited, said "I played a very heavy responsibility. I feel that not fall".

Eto'o please

UnitedRoadRed · 17th June 2008, 14:01

Thought for a moment - what if Ronaldo for Robinho and a shit load of cash happened? Would Ronaldinho and/or Eto'o improve the team/squad?

Ronaldinho in on the inside-left position leaving Rooney to play as lead striker perhaps? Wayne's certainly capable of it and I'm sure he'd love to be up front again, especially if he's pairing up with Tevez/Robinho/Ronaldinho/Eto'o.

Maybe a bit of muppetry, but more a what if. Surely we need to make a statement if Ronaldo goes that United will move on and be stronger.

Good thinking.... While Robinho continues to develop we can have Ronaldinho being our complete player... But Just Eto'o will do if we're interested!!

Not going to get anyone as good as Eto'o... best bet is probably Benzema?

Brad · 17th June 2008, 14:08

Bizarre from the coach to announce it publically like this, surely that will reduce the amount Barca can fetch for the players now?

Eto'o is an awesome striker, he's probably one of the very best in the world. I think he'd be perfect as a striker for United - quick, intelligent, but can still compete in the air, a lethal finisher

Fergie, sign him up!

Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber · 17th June 2008, 14:16

i'd snatch both Roni and E'too. I just wonder though if a Fergie can keep an E'too from falling out with temmates

What do you mean??? The European Champions aren't capable of getting a player like Eto'o or there's not much players as good as him avaliable?!

Sam#1 · 17th June 2008, 14:17

Deco and Ronaldinho makes sense, but Eto??

For me, he's the best striker in the world. I can only think they want to get rid of him for personal reasons, rather than footballing ones.

I'm talking about Barcelona. The quote says that Guardiola is looking to replace Eto'o with another number 9, I said they won't get a striker as good as Eto'o. So pretty much their quality in the striking department is going down.

Berbatov at Barcelona would be interesting, not as good as Eto'o though IMO.

Benzema, Villa and Torres are all likely to be sounded out about possible moves.

Villa is perhaps the only one of those available this summer.

Jacob · 17th June 2008, 14:26

Deco and Ronaldinho are certs for Chelsea.

Eto'o will go to Inter/Milan.

You are correct

Ekeke · 17th June 2008, 14:27

I thought I read that Eto'o and Ronaldinho havent been getting along with each other. Is this not the case? Could they both end up at the same new club?

Milan? or god forbid, Chelsea?

Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber · 17th June 2008, 14:31

stranger things have happened. Cole and Sheringham formed a fantastic partnership while hating each others guts

I think Eto'o claimed that Rijkaard was favourising Ronaldinho cos his daughter was together with him. Or was that Laporta's daughter?

Cold_Boy · 17th June 2008, 14:33

It would be a dream if we could get Dinho and if Sir Alex can bring the best out of him.

The guy is the most talented player I have seen.

I thought it was the same reason which doesn't make sesne to me as to why the coach would want to get rid of them both one or the other but not both.. and in answer to the question could SAF tame Etoo.. I believe he can

Ekeke · 17th June 2008, 14:40

I'd take Eto'o in a heartbeat. Exactly the kind of striker we need in terms of footballing ability.

But I can't really see a role for Ronaldinho - Unless we scrap the idea of signing a CF and continue with Rooney up top... I suppose it could work.

Deco may be Lampard's replacement at Chelsea, but it'd have to be Ballack who replaces his goals tally. Deco has scored 2 times in 2 years with Barcelona.

bbest · 17th June 2008, 14:41

It's true, Eto'o, when on song, is one of the best strikers in the world.

His performance against Chelsea in the C.L. is an example of what he can really do.

As for his attitude, fans of Spanish league maybe can enlighten us on it.

Rowem · 17th June 2008, 14:41

Would love Eto'o - experienced, proven goalscorer, just what we need.

Wouldn't touch Deco or Ronaldinho though, Chelsea can have 'em, or they can take the easy option and ponce off to Italy.

fergieisold · 17th June 2008, 14:49

The problem is all 3 of them seem to have some sort of strange personality problem that has caused problems.

Everyone says Eto is dressing room cancer

Ronaldinho has lost the passion

and Deco...well nobody likes Deco

Deco isn't worth the risk, I don't think he will cut it in the EPL anyway. Lightweight with lots of pretty passes.

At the right price though I would risk Ronaldinho and Eto

SAred · 17th June 2008, 15:02

What better man then Sir Alex to stamp out any dressing room problems. And even though Ronaldinho didnt have the best of seasons surely a change of team and league could be just the tonic for him to recapture his form.

Would a Manchester United team with Ronaldinho of two years ago along with Eto been stronger then a Manchester United team with Ronaldo.

cesc's_mullet · 17th June 2008, 15:04

I don't see how they're going manage if they sell all three.

Maybe it's time for Assulin, Bojan and that other dude to stand up. Doesn't say much about Dos Santos though.

ecantona7 · 17th June 2008, 15:05

Eto please.

In my opinion, Ronaldinho is his prime is better than Ronaldo. But I just can't see him getting that form back again.
