Valdes transfer-listed.

lol, take anything Marca says with a grain of salt. Probably the most biased bit of rag in europe, it's virtually Real Madrid's official newspaper. They do everything they can to destabalise every opponent, every potential transfer target.

Oh, I know Marca has a tendency to lose itself in pro-Madrid vitriol, but it is my spanish language football site of preference, I'm not really a fan of AS, Don Balon is so-so.

Marca reckon Roman is in talks with Torres after Chelsea lodged a 40 million pound bid on him!!!! :lol:

If I was leading Barca this is what I'd do. I would pretty much have a dead set cleanout. You can tell that numerous players are clearly NOT commited to the club, good or bad, you should kick them out quick smart. E.g. Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Deco, Marquez. You can tell some players put there heart and soul into the club. I'm talking Messi, Bojan, Iniesta, Puyol. The one that aren't commited should just go...plain and simple..GO!

i dont want to see eto'o go.

 

[weasel]

It would be sad, but I think one of him or Henry will have to leave, and Eto'o's attitude has been fluctuating for a while, and they're gonna make more money selling him than Henry. Also, it would be handy to have Henry stay, if only for the fact that his maturity and experience will be valuable for the younger core of the team. Also, I'd imagine the guy would still love to prove himself in La Liga, if he gets another chance in a more stable Barca next season he could start performing.

 

[Ridders]

the Barca defense needs strengthening. Puyol's looked sadly out of form this season, Marquez has been a non factor, Milito's been solid but not as good as i thought and Thuram is like what, 35-36.

 

[Abz]

Henry scored the most goals for Barca this season. 18 goals with 1 game in hand.

Happy Birthday Touré Yaya turns 25 today.

Happy Birthday Touré Yaya turns 25 today.

lol abz

Eto'o in my eyes has to go. Just watchin those two legs against Manchester Utd it looked almost as if he was playing to be substituted, just like after 5 minutes he couldn't care and wanted to be on the bench earning a big fat pay check for minimal effort. For that reason he has to go. He used to lve and breathe Barcelona, now he just doesn't care.

 

[weasel]

Deco's on his way.

Wonder where he'll land.

 

[pennywisealfie]

probably chelsea. wouldve def been chelsea had his former manager jose still been there.

im not upset with this trade i was never a big deco fan as i hate his diving tactics.

 

[Abz]

****. Deco's one of my favourite players

 

[weasel]

lol, sorry to hear that, Abz.

 

[Abz]

Meh. He's been out of form

 

[pennywisealfie]

thats what u get for that awful signature! leave wally out of this damn Bluesers.

 

[Abz]

Talk about going out on a high 5-3. Our defence was poor, but how good was Santos? Hat trick for him. See you later in the year Barca for the 2008-09 season ;-)

 

[Dragooner]

You'se will be happy with that Dos Santos hat-trick...almost certain to land at Chelsea now...and his price tag will have just fired up a couple mil.

How can you let him go...Bojan, Messi and Dos Santos would be absolutely AMAZING!

 

[pennywisealfie]

despite today, i think hes a little overrated.

that comment will probably come back to bite me on the ass but oh well, i stand by it.
