Is Deco surplus?

Should Frank keep Deco or is he surplus to requirements?

Deco has been a key element of Barca's success over the last few seasons but his days look to be numbered. Having lost his first-team slot during pre-season, speculation has mounted that he is looking for a way out. The chance to link-up again with his mentor at Porto - Mourinho - is one possibility while in Italy, Inter Milan, have made more than tentative enquiries. Iniesta said this week that Deco should shut-up and train harder but does the Portuguese have a reason to feel he has been badly treated?

Certainly in the midfield this season it looks as though Toure, a strong tackler, has taken the place of Deco as Rijkaard looks to toughen up the side but has this taken away too much of the Barca flair?

Finally if Toure does play who would you prefer to see dropped out of Deco, Xavi or Iniesta?

I'm not sure I agree with you there Dave, I think that with the season underway Deco will be a regular in the team maybe ahead of Xavi or Iniesta - for me one of those players has to give way as they are too similar. Deco had a tough pre-season, missing some of it to go back to Brazil for the birth of his child, and was on the bench for a lot of the time but now he is back!
