Summer Transfer Window 2009

Barca are offering Etoā€™o, Hleb and ā‚¬40m to Inter for Zlatan.

:eek:

Thatā€™s nuts.

Man City bid 15 million for Joleen Lescott

I donā€™t know. I really donā€™t.

Is not just a straight swap Bandage? Etoā€™o for Overatedvic.

Vucinic to Chelsea being reported on lots of sites

Bandage will be crestfallen

Iā€™m not sure itā€™s that bad a deal for Barca but it depends on the circumstances.

If they thought Etoā€™o was happy and motivated to stay at the club then that would be one thing but they seem to be resigned to the fact that heā€™s leaving either for a free next summer or for big wages this summer. So theyā€™re keen to get some sort of value for him but the money Manchester City were talking about paying was astronomical to Etoā€™o himself but poor enough to Barca.

I think theyā€™ve had enough of guys like Deco and Ronaldinho and Etoā€™o ruining squad morale in recent seasons so theyā€™re keen to just get rid of guys before they become liabilities. Considering his contract situation Etoā€™o is probably someone they want to sell this summer rather than have him hogging the headlines for the next 12 months.

Hleb hasnā€™t worked out. Nice footwork on the ball but passing isnā€™t up to scratch for Barca.

Itā€™s a decent deal for Inter too mind, just donā€™t think itā€™s as inflated as it first sounds.

I can understand why they want Mirko given the way he destroyed them in the Olimpico last season and heā€™s pure world class. He wonā€™t leave Roma though.

The Zlatan and Etoā€™o swap deal has gone through. Magic, I canā€™t wait to see Zlatan playing for us next season.

i cant believe we got zlatan- great news - not epl class according to runt though:rolleyes:

I would actually have preferred if Barca had signed Twiggy than Ibrahimovic. Over rated pile of shite. Ibrahimovic that is. Lacks moral courage and honesty of effort, the starting point of any good footballer.

Tell us some more about Paul Scholes please, Gilesy. :thumbsup:

ill take peps views on him ahead of yours

No way is Overatedvic worth Etoā€™o plus cash. Never does it in the big games does the giant swede.

pep just spent a fuck load on him, jose said he was the best in the world as did larsson

If Jose did then it must be true. :smiley:

jose & now pep both obviously rate him- thats good enough for me

Zlatanā€™s probably the best striker in the world right now. Add him to Messi, Xavi, Iniesta et al and you possibly have the greatest team ever assembled.

Jose in now the ordinary one. No competition for him in Italy to justify his special status.
