such a contrast in our memories of it. i still remember serginho stepping up looking very nervous, shevchenko not scoring, jerzy dudek jumping around and getting abuse the next day in school
still i have always preferred barca i have never actually supported milan but i hope they do well and am happy when they got revenge in 2007
Mascherano fichado for 22mln euro + variables \o/
Yeah no shit right? You'd think a statement that vague would have a source attached to it. ffsThat just been reported?
Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson has described Inter Milan's bid for midfielder Javier Mascherano as 'tongue-in-cheek', and insists it was promptly rejected.
The want-away midfielder has been linked with a move to the Italian giants, and Spanish side Barcelona, all summer and has not played for the Reds since both clubs made offers for him.
Both approaches are understood to be nowhere near Liverpool's asking price for the Argentina skipper, which is thought to be around £25million.
Former Reds boss Rafa Benitez has denied any wrongdoing in his pursuit of Mascherano, as well as Dirk Kuyt, who is also being strongly linked with a reunion with the Spaniard.
Hodgson was adamant that the 26-year-old will be going nowhere unless their valuation is met and felt that Inter were not taking their asking price seriously.
"I saw a fax the other day but I think it was sent tongue-in-cheek to be honest," he revealed after Liverpool's Europa League play-off victory over Trabzonspor.
"The offer was so unbelievably far from a valuation it seemed to me the sporting director was putting the fax in to maybe satisfy people at the club.
"We didn't even bother to answer it, that is how ridiculously far from a serious offer it was."
Do you think Cambiasso would be better for Barca than Masch? I have also wondered about that...
Meta was saying something about a double pivot with masch and busi so.I don't really understand how some of you even consider Mascherano being back up to Bousquets. If he comes to Barca he's going to start. He's a lot better than Bousquets, so was Yaya. Pep starting Bousquets over Yaya is almost as bad as the injustice against Eto'o. I believe Pep likes Bousquets b/c he see's a lot of potential and b/c he's catalan, but don't think for a second he really deserves to start over Yaya or Mascherano, the quality just isn't there yet.
I truely think Pep is planning on using both of them a lot of games. I don't really like that idea, at all, but that is what I believe he's going to do. If not and he sits Mascherano you better expect us to be selling him next summer like how we're selling Ibra now.
