David Villa - good words for Barcelona & big ambitions at Atletico

I saw the whole complete version and it was a great interview.

He's not having a bad season either.

11 goals and 3 assists in 22 games.

Hope to see him in Brazil.

I won't be surprised if I read some news some days later regarding the investigation of Cruijff's signing to Barcelona.

This time Valencia are the ones being investigated..actually Valencia's former president, who is accused of taking 50M euros from Barca and keeping 10M for himself. And it all started with Rosell accusing Laporta of paying 50M for Villa, when it wasn't actually true. Now he had to admit that he lied and send all the documents to a judge.

"El ex dirigente azulgrana llegó a insinuar en una aparición pública que el Barcelona había pagado 50 millones de euros por David Villa, cuando desde el Valencia se tasó el traspaso en 40 millones de euros.
El entonces Consejo de Administración del Valencia, presidido por Manuel Llorente, reclamó una rectificación a Sandro Rosell y un requerimiento notarial (documento adjunto) en el que se recogiesen las condiciones pactadas en el contrato de venta del asturiano en mayo de 2009 (con Joan Laporta de presidente azulgrana).
El requerimiento notarial, firmado por Sandro Rosell, indica que el Barcelona pagó 40 millones más IVA. "

It's hilarious just how much of a liar Rosell is, though if we are to believe MD's article:

"Por otro lado, el ex presidente Rosell ofreció al juez un acta notarial según la cual la entidad catalana pagó al Valencia 40 millones por el fichaje del asturiano. Versión diferente a la que dio en su día Joan Laporta, que habló de 42 millones más incentivos."

Laporta was the one lying..again.

Edit: And at the time Rosell was complaining about the money Barca was paying to the players' agents.

You guys seem surprised than in a organisation where there isn't any real hierarchical control (the whole socio system is very laughable at best in terms of holding presidents accountable), such things happen. We're talking about huge sums of money at stake here, of course they're going to help themselves as much as they can

You guys seem surprised

We're not.

I was so sad to hear him get booed off the pitch yesterday. After everything he gave us. The look of disbelief on his face summed it up.

They boo our own players sometimes, so no surprise here. But yeah, I didn't like it. Oh well.. :/

Pathetic fans

Thanks for missing a sitter and a great opportunity, David

He was booed because he was walking off the pitch.. and at least just as many people applauded by the way but let's forget that.

I was so sad to hear him get booed off the pitch yesterday.

I was so sad to see him celebrate his goal against us short after he went to Atletico.
