I think he means Atléti will lose him to Chelski.

Love the shirt, but the shorts would look better in a different colour.

I'd take Caballero. Keylor is too young and too good to be MAtS' backup and would probably mean too much competition. Supposing that MAtS should be focused on as our long-term #1, Keylor would either get a role he doesn't deserve or would hinder MAtS development by taking too much playing time...

He's bossing the presser, love all of his answers so far.

Bild interview with him today: On feeling relieved now that the deal is announced: "Of course I'm happy that it's official now. It wasn't easy to dodge the questions about my future." On whether people asked him to get autographs at Barça: "No, so far nobody has asked about that. I'm extremely...

After the Atléti CL match, second leg I think. One of the most ridiculous quotes this season. :lol:

Brilliant, best design in a while imo.

There isn't even any need to go into too much detail about it; if everything was fine and he felt completely wanted and accepted, he wouldn't say these thigns. Whether he means the board or fans is a different question.

I doubt we'd bring Navas as first gk. Also don't see why MAtS shouldn't be able to earn the starting spot ahead of him.

Only saw Navas rumours picking up steam on Twitter, nowhere else so far. Another, more experienced keeper coming in doesn't change anything about MAtS (supposed) status, as it's the only logical thing to do with Oier going out on loan and MAtS and Masip both having no la liga experience. Why...

To suppose that they didn't do it because "it would not be fair on him" is just as much speculation as supposing that Messi would have wanted it but the board didn't is. Bottom line is, there is no good reason.

If it benefits the club, then why wasn't it done? 2 other players got deals until 2019. Why not Messi?

It's a hypothetical question, hence the "if". I don't see any logical reasoning that would explain why they would decide against it. And even if Messi did not ask for it, it doesn't make sense to not extend the deal. As I said, Piqué etc all got signed on until 2019, so it would be logical to do...

But if the rumour is true that Messi wanted to extend, which is speculation, then what reason did the board have to decline? It doesn't make sense. They signed Piqué on until 2019, signes MAtS until 2019, might as well have done the same with Messi.

Interview with him: "It was a good time to announce it. I am happy that everybody knows about it now. It wasn't easy to keep it to myself, but that way it was the best for everyone involved. [...] For me things were settled a while ago. The offer came in before the winter. We had many...

I think his Spanish is alright, he's been learning it for at least a year.

Not comical at all. The FA Cup is no Micky Mouse trophy. It's their first trophy in 9 years that they won beating their fiercest rivals, Liverpool and Everton on the way. I'd be happy as hell as well.

Not really, the reporter asked him whether competition at his new club would do him good and whether he was worried about that, and he said no and talked about the possibility of becoming second choice "if you don't perform", but said that he has that everywhere, even at Gladbach. He also said...

It didn't sound that bad on the website either: http://www.fcbarcelona.com/football/first-team/detail/article/ter-stegen-arrives-pinto-leaves "[...] In addition to the news regarding the German keeper, the Board announced that José Manuel Pinto will no longer defend Barça’s goal now that his...

Apparently he is in Barcelona, so there will be some kind of presentation.
