With Messi, Neymar and Suarez Barcelona have the most feared strike force in the world

16 July 2014 08:20

There’s no doubt about it, the Catalan club have the best front three in the world by some distance since they bought Luis Suarez from Liverpool for a reported fee of £75m, despite having a worldwide ban on all football related activities until 26th October, we have to wait to see a Barcelona line up containing Messi, Neymar & Suarez, think about being playing against that lot if you’re a defender! There’s no doubt four time FIFA World Player Of The Year is the biggest of the stars, he had a poor season last season but still managed over 40 goals, any footballer would be delighted at that amount but that's poor for Messi! Neymar had a difficult first season but now he’s settled in, we should see him improve on his nine league goals & then there’s the controversial Suarez, will he produce in his first season at he Camp Nou? Many think he will despite he will miss a quarter of the season because of the ban. Real question is who plays where across the front three, will they interchange & move around or will manager Luis Enrique dump the 4-3-3 formation and may be rotate his strikers? We will have to wait & see for another fascinating La Liga season.
