In fact the only place I want to see Gaucho is at the end of a spiked pole.
LOL ... no comment really, all I can say is if you want to do that to Dinho, then I can't imagine what you would like to do to Figo.

He suffered one injury (i cant remember the medical name for it) which does not show up on scans. You have to take the patient's word for it. Now of course it isnt certain that he was faking the injury. However given his lack of effort in training and on the pitch, it seems suspicious. Ill leave it at that.The agree with the main idea of your post. I'm not saying he's some sort of super hero who can do whatever the hell he wants, he obviously messed up big time and at a really bad timing. But even in his last season when he played he performed pretty well (obviously not a 2005 Ronaldinho performance) but even at 50% he assisted and scored goals. I don't agree with the 'fake injuries' part, because you can't lie about injury to a proffessional medic team, who confirmed his injury .. so IF he wasn't injured, then I'd blame the medical team more than anyone.
I am eternally grateful for his first three seasons. Would we have been where we are now without him? Most probably not. He put us as the most popular club in the world, helped us to the CL and both liga titles and was an icon for the club. Anyone that denies that is hating on him personally rather than professionally. And to be honest i can dig that..i can understand why people feel his latter years tainted his whole time at the club. But i can separate the first three years and the last 2.Anyways, all I'm saying is he is definatley not on form atm, isn't working hard enough and is already warming up the benches at Milan .. the simple fact that no one here or on any other Barca forum want to agree with, is he deserves respect for the first 3 seasons he was at the club. If you would agree on that I wouldn't ever mention Dinho again on any thread. promise !
