Rosell running from the press..goes to the ladies room:
Also Freixa said today that it's possible that they won't buy a CB and that the only thing that should matter for the socios is that we have a team that can win everything.

Selling Villa for half as much as Callejon, what a
genius.
Not as straightforward as that.
What do you suggest the club should have done?
They either should have sold him earlier when clubs were willing to pay more (Arsenal during the winter for example) or keep him. Even though his wages are high he´s still a good player, and since the are tons of rumours that Barca wants to buy a striker, why the fuck not keep Villa?? He´s a bloody excellent striker! But selling him for peanuts is pretty much the worst thing they could have done.
Sell him in January?
No chance would they have done that and weakened the squad at such an important time. Thats just a non starter.
They wont want to keep him as they cant justify paying him 11m wages next season when they dont believe he is needed.
While no doubt he himself wants regular first team football before the WC.
Selling him in January and keeping him were never really options.
Even without Villa, there would have been Alexis, Pedro, Tello and Iniesta for the wide positions, with the option of playing Cesc as a false 9 and moving Messi to the right wing. That´s enough cover for the 2nd part of the season.
If he wants first team football before the WC, he´ll have to work his butt off at Barca, how could that be a bad thing? A Neymar-Villa-Messi frontline doesnt sound bad to me, with Pedro/Tello/Alexis for rotation.
Either way, I dont like how the club handled this transfer. Getting 2-5m for a player like him is a joke.
It was worth keeping him just for his performance against Milan in the Champions League.They either should have sold him earlier when clubs were willing to pay more (Arsenal during the winter for example) or keep him.
Actually Villa=20%Callejon..we will see 5M only if he stays at ATM for 3 years.Sandro "I have no idea what I'm doing" Rosell

Whoever thinks that it's impossible to sell DAVID VILLA for more than 5 millions euro, obviously do not walk on this Earth as others.
His movement and positioning up front was key in creating space for Messi.What performance? He scored a goal and that's all. Busi was the MOTM.
