villa4europe Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Good player but like if they signed fabregas, is he a bit samey? Can't see who he knocking out the team either because pedro is very good for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I think it's all about squad building for Barcelona. As amazing as their first XI is, they dont have the bench of a Real Madrid or a Manchester United. Sanchez is quite similar to what they have already up front the same as Fabregas is quite similar to what they already have in midfield. I guess Barcelona have decided that instead of having options to go to a plan B or plan C (something I think Ibrahimovic was supposed to have been) they have decided that plan A is so **** unstoppable that having top quality like for like replacements is the way to go.

dudevillaisnice Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Getafe president Angel Torres, accompanied by the sporting director of the entity Mallard, Toni Muñoz, are people this morning at the offices of the Santiago Bernabeu to negotiate the release of Pedro Leon. Getafe want Pedro Leon again.. RM have put a price of 8M euros according to AS.. The player does not fit into Mourinho's plans and has been offered to several clubs in Spain and England. I wonder if we was offered him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 22, 2011 Moderator Share Posted July 22, 2011 Fair playMariano Pavone thought he was joining Blackburn but now he's ready to join Swansea and he doesn't care a great deal about the lower wages. Which is nice. His agent said: "Mariano has been left in limbo because of the Blackburn situation. He just needs to go to a club where he will have a chance to play and Swansea could be that platform. "If it was just about money, he would not go to Swansea. But I'm a believer that there is more to football than just money. If the difference is only 10p elsewhere then the player will go to Swansea."

villa4europe Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 That happened a while ago didn't it? Luis Enrique is at Roma no doubt was the main selling point I hope LE does well one of my favourite players as a kid and one the main reasons I follow barca now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troglodyte Posted July 22, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted July 22, 2011 Apparently Barcelona have a buy-back clause in Bojan's Roma contract; they can resign him for €13m at the end of the season after next. Roma can remove the clause from his contract, but this would force the total cost of the transfer to €40m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC_Hitz Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Galatasaray have gone and got Melo on loan. Felipe Melo, the man cast as the villain when Brazil were knocked out of the World Cup in the quarter-finals last year, has been loaned from Juventus to Galatasaray, the Serie A club said on Friday. Juventus said the Turkish club would pay them 1.5 million euros (2.15 million dollars) for a one-year loan with an option to buy the 28-year-old for 13 million euros. His departure came one day after Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal, who like Felipe Melo is a tough tackler but is considered more refined than the Brazilian on the ball, confirmed he was joining Juventus.

Their plan A is so **** unstoppable, but so **** reliant on Messi. If he is out for a few months, they will need a plan B. I'm not sure Sanchez offers that. Quality player though from what (little) I've seen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I don't really think it is imo.. i'd say it's clever business from barca really, the clauses they have put on the transfer it is a win/win situation for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
