Barca are offering Etoāo, Hleb and ā¬40m to Inter for Zlatan.
Thatās nuts.
Man City bid 15 million for Joleen Lescott
I donāt know. I really donāt.
Is not just a straight swap Bandage? Etoāo for Overatedvic.
Vucinic to Chelsea being reported on lots of sites
Bandage will be crestfallen
Iām not sure itās that bad a deal for Barca but it depends on the circumstances.
If they thought Etoāo 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 heās leaving either for a free next summer or for big wages this summer. So theyāre keen to get some sort of value for him but the money Manchester City were talking about paying was astronomical to Etoāo himself but poor enough to Barca.
I think theyāve had enough of guys like Deco and Ronaldinho and Etoāo ruining squad morale in recent seasons so theyāre keen to just get rid of guys before they become liabilities. Considering his contract situation Etoāo is probably someone they want to sell this summer rather than have him hogging the headlines for the next 12 months.
Hleb hasnāt worked out. Nice footwork on the ball but passing isnāt up to scratch for Barca.
Itās a decent deal for Inter too mind, just donāt think itās 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 heās pure world class. He wonāt leave Roma though.
The Zlatan and Etoāo swap deal has gone through. Magic, I canāt 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.
ill take peps views on him ahead of yours
No way is Overatedvic worth Etoāo 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.
jose & now pep both obviously rate him- thats good enough for me
Zlatanās 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.
