Well the money is there with an annual transfer budget of €50m, whether Cesc would be a justifiable use of it is another question

Beast, the Benzema bubble burst long ago, you bought above market value at the time and he's depreciated massively as an asset since then €15-18m at a push is my guesstimate, but then who would be interested? Oh, and LOL at the Barndoor signing! HOOF!

Even I like the Bernabéu as a stadium, it's a top notch venue if a little sterile these days.

To be honest I'm sure Moureen is a nice guy in "real life", he seems like a good family man etc. It's just that as a professional he's an utter arse.

I don't accept the argument of youthfulness, yes he has some young-ish players but we're talking early 20s not teenagers, and they're still players with bags of international experience playing within a team that has plenty of older players. A David O'Leary style "my poor babies" argument isn't...

Fair play to the lad, he's the ultimate flat track bully.

Very noble of him to take this one on the chin and protect Pep and the players, that's true leadership.

Love it!

*I feel sorry for Iker, I feel sorry for Benzema, I feel sorry for Cristiano, hope Guti isn't too upset after this evening*. Get a grip you bunch of soft bastards, they're the scum, fuck every last one of them. Visca el Barça!

The unsung hero, well done Eric!

Messi v Kun, Messi v Rooney, Messi v Cristina. It's all very tiresome, Leo's the world's best, there is no doubt.

Last season after the clásico I was a little bit rude, so this season I will just pass on my best wishes for the festive season and express my sincere hope that you boys have learnt your lesson and won't get above your station again. Hugs and kisses, Culé Anglès...

The board members aren't stupid, they will take every reasonable step to keep Dani Alves at the Camp Nou, but there is a limit. Why is it important for the board to be strong in the face of unreasonable demands from greedy footballers? Because if not then we may as well start sending blank...

I disagree with the premise that Alves deserves the same salary as Xaviesta and our starting striker. Forget the numbers because they're pure speculation, I believe it's fair for the club to offer Dani a contract that puts him in the wage band just below those guys. The club has a budget to...

So we've offered him a very fair contract and he's said no. It will be interesting to see where things go from now, in the modern era it's unusual for clubs to let contracts run down but that may be the best option here, I'm sure he'll continue to give 100% for the remainder of his time here...

These people aren't supporters of any kind, they clearly don't understand the game and after a while their transient interest will inevitably fade. Ignore them.

We need to remember that La Masia exists to serve Barça, not the other way round. A transfer of this quality and at that price should always be welcomed, if our youngsters are good enough they'll learn from Afellay and the current players and make their case for a place in the side. We have a...

FFS, why do some people have to bring their religion into everything? :wacko: I look forward to seeing Afellay turn out in the Blaugrana in January, I don't know an awful lot about the kid but most reports are positive and I think we've been very wise in jumping the queue and stumping up some...

Actually I do disapprove of people from the ghetto and don't like to look at them, but I wear reasonably priced underwear, not fancy in the least. Or do Aussies refer to trousers as "pants" like the yanks do? My trousers are in fact quite fancy, a nice pinstripe effort for work purposes.
