First game of the preseason and it really felt nice to see them play again. The result of the game is meaningless, as we were just in the first week of training and Dundee are at the end of their preparation and will start into the league next week. Therefore, win, draw, defeat, whatever, would have been meaningless.
Overall, I really really really enjoyed Touré, who despite it being his first game ever for Barca, tried to take responsibility, was always available for getting the ball, asked for it and overall, had a promising debut. He might need time to adapt to the tempo and again, that game is absolutely meaningless, but still, it was a promising start. I just hope that he gets another number, as I stronly believe in the curse of the 17(previous players carrying the 17 include Petit, Bogarde, Christanval if I'm not wrong and Van Bommel). Abidal had a solid debut in defense, but offensively, he pretty much showed that his crossing and everything is really weak. But he is a good worker, and sometimes, your team simply needs people working over people playing.
Eto'o in the first half was great, and I would have liked to see him in the second half with Henry, however, what I saw of Bojane and Giovani was pretty nice too.
Overall, the new signings seem to really make sense and that was pretty important after last season.

yaya could be a clever signing. henry with number 14 then? though leaving arsenal, i wish that he`ll make an impact at camp nou before retiring. something in the vein of pichichi de la liga (together with samuel would be nice).
yaya is a player I really like...specially because he has a great brother too. ;) but anyway...I like players from Cote D'Ivoire..
Henry is a class act and yes, him and Eto'o having a 20/20 season would be best. I just hope that there won't be too much pressure from media to play Ronaldinho and Henry together, but only those best in form should play.
He had to move on from Arsenal...it was like all good things, they had to come to an end.
oh yes, habib is a good fellow.
flames to dust, lovers to friends, why do all good things come to an end? ;)
