In that picture, compared the the camera men and the crowd, how come the left back is a midget?

It's Arthur Boka.

Barca's new stadium looks awesome

It might look boss to some.  It's subjective.
I see it as a big fucking horrible thing and in no way reflects the Gaudi style.

But they're going to be ruining one of the best stadiums in the world.
It's boss going the Nou Camp with the big edge over the side, no roof, it's a great stadium.
The only one in Europe that anything remotely like a South American one.

whatever they do to it you can;t beat

I'd prefer to see a unique design rather than the soulless bowls we get most of the time (Derby, Middlesbrough, Southampton et al)

but "unique" adds vastly to the cost and what for exactly? compared to 40 years ago even the most basic "bowl" type stadium is a huge step up...just what exactly do football fans need to be able to watch a game for 90 minutes?

If they allow them to build that awful stadium there - it'll be a shame - it just doesn't fit the local surroundings and looks like someone was drunk when they drew it.

How long has the old Nou Camp got? I want to visit it before they destroy it.
