He is useless. Certainly not EPL top 6 standard anyway but may be a good target for Liverpool.
If Milner for Man City definitely on, they seem to have a lot of quality players centrally. Doesnt really make sense. He developed into a decent midfielder after Xmas last year but we couldnt turn down 25m plus for him either.
As much as I look like Pep I’d be a small bit critical of his business in the transfer market, Chygrynsky and the Zlatan deal being the prime examples. Also don’t see the need for Fabregas or the point in letting Yaya Toure go (if he replaces him with Mascherano).
Chygrinsky looked a fine player at Shakhtar but hardly €25m good. Still think people overstate the Eto’o part of the Zlatan deal as Barca just wanted rid of him anyway. They’ll be wanting more from Villa but he looks a good signing.
Agreed on Cesc. Bit similar to what they have already but they may want him learning alongside Xavi rather than replacing him on a couple of years.
Not €25 million good no. Strange they got got rid of him so quick-it’s not as if there’s much back up in the central defence-Milito and Marquez (who looks poor enough in recent times).
never mind back up I think Puyol and Pique have really looked vulnerable defensively at this WC…
Barca could do with buying at least one new quality centre half …
