My understanding of it (may be completely wrong) is that Pep had nothing to do with it, and it was more of a Txiki signing.

Milito isn't (and likely won't ever be) back from injury, and Pep doesn't like Henrique. We could use another defender.

Sevilla would do well to pickup Negredo. Their backup forwards right now are Kone and Chevanton. Plus Kanoute is getting on in years...

fair point...but arsenal were away at Celtic (who have an excellent home record)

so selling Diaby for 5mil in soccermanager was a mistake huh?

well, we play Real twice a year...I'd be fine if he just does it against them

dribbled through a few defenders then chipped the keeper....he musta learnt that one from Messi

LOL, Hleb just scored a great goal for Stuttgart

early away goal for Fiorentina...terrible start for Sporting

I've never really criticized Txiki before.....but I fully underestimated exactly how much balls he sucks. The few signings he has made have been rejected by Pep. Come on dude, you have like 2 weeks to not be a failure...

True, but you could be like Barca and slowly introduce the youngsters ;) instead you commit to buying as many superstars as possible however, i must say that the buyback is still a great deal for you. the real question is why the hell Hull would do it.

sort of. Fontas looked better technically, and at taking the ball forward out of defence. That may be because he plays a lot in midfield. However, there were so few attacks against us neither were really tested defensively. I mean, neither Puyol nor Marquez stood in preseason either when they...

but Snyde, has he even played 100 mins this preseason? Not really enough to make an impression. I can only assume he's been messing up in training sessions as well. I agree with Bojan that it seems unlikely Muniesa, who hasnt played at Barca Atletic yet, is more solid. Henrique has already...

Giuly was best playing just behind the striker, which is probably why he was wasn't as spectacular for us, where he was winger. As CA said, Giuly was quite good 04-05 season, making intelligent runs, spreading out the field....then after that came Messi. If Pedro is a more skilfull version of...

Indeed...if it is the case that Pep still doesn't rate him, just shows how shit we've been in signing defenders recently. First Milito, whose problem was evident at the time, and now these 2. To be generous, I could give mgment credit for Pique, but that move happened more because of his...

I'm not english so i don't know....but don't Leeds have way more fans than City? even if they're not necessarily showing up right now? Anyway, I always hate the "big club" argument, because it's such a vague term people fashion it to mean what they want and nobody ever convinces anybody of...

3rd-string keepers are supposed to suck. Can't say i care much if he stays or goes...

Bendtner has the tools, but something is wrong with that kid's head...He should be loaned until he sorts himself out. Vela is potentially awesome though. Wouldn't surprise me if he becomes Arsenal's best striker very soon...

I suppose the rumour about Arsenal offering 18M was false then? Good deal for Milan though; revived their chances of getting a Champions League spot next year.

Comparing him to Messi is ludicrous, but his performance today (disclaimer: at home, against Rangers) was pretty astonishing actually. Even without considering his age, he outshone everyone else on Arsenal: Cesc, Eduardo,etc. Twill be fun to see how he progresses...never seen a young English...
