hmmmm if this is true I'm glad he's not joining Chelsea or Man U, don't see where he fits in at Barca though especially in the short term. He should be looking to play week in week out.
I was thinking he would stay at Werder and see out his contract , then join Bayern on a free.
If we got Ozil this year & Cesc next and we add the cantera players (or at least these who will stay), we''ll have A LOT of players for the 2011/12 season.
Sport has 12-15 million. Mundo says 10 + variables so they are probably both right. 10 up front + another 2-5 potentially in bonus money for appearances, performance, etc.
Hardly stupid. Great capture for 10-15 million and there is little pressure on him to boot. He doesn't need to run the show from the off. The only person who might be put off by the news is Thiago, but I think he can play as well. I would loan out JDS and keep Thiago.
if he comes this year and this CR9Esque agreement with Arsenal is true and Cesc is coming next year, it is officially the most stupid transfer of the summer.
