Pep's brother is I believe.

I don't say it often, but that's a good summary, Hammy. And to those who are annoyed with the low release clause - It's obvious that this was negotiated by Thiago and his representatives to protect his interests and give him a way out if it was needed. Whatever happens with Thiago, it's clear...

Seriously?

Excellent news. You must be very happy, Robbie. A nice change from previous summer's.

Yep, nuff said. As much as we all seem to like Thiago and want to see him succeed at Barca, if the opportunities he feels he wants and needs aren't there all that is left for him to do is try and find them elsewhere.

32ME. I always said that would be a bargain and it has been. 62ME Would have been a bargain.

Wouldn't mind him at Barca, but I'd certainly prefer Thiago Silva.

Moyes will be fine. You only have to look at what he did with Arteta. Thiago is certainly a supreme package though.

But it's better that they are.

Since I have a soft spot for Arsenal, I've been hoping for some early transfers from Wenger and team, but nothing really so far. I've seen really promising links such as Victor Wanyama who fits the tough centre midfield role that Arsenal need at the moment. And of course the likes of Higuain who...

So good for Spain. So so for Barca. Still too good and effective to sell though.

Firstly Tribal football is the pits of football speculation. And secondly, Afellay is still a Barca player? Hurry up and get rid!

Nope. I think the BBC commentator just said Soldado has had a great season with Atletico Madrid. Doughnut.

Xavi does score free kicks, but Pirlo certainly does have that particular elegance when he does take them. They're hard to set apart from each other. Both remarkably consistent players who dictate the tempo of a game and both have been hugely successful and still going strong (albeit Xavi is...

You just get a hard on for anything Italian don't you...

Koscielny sounds about right, we are specialists at signing players from Arsenal afterall.
