Barcelona close on David Villa & Fabregas

[The_weatherman]

I wonder if they would line up something like this if Ibra goes.

Valdes

Alves Puyol Pique Abidal

Xavi Fabregas

Pedro Messi Iniesta

Villa

Or put Iniesta in the hole and keep Busquets or someone strong in the middle with Xavi. This will be an exciting team for sure.

I'd prefer the 2008 PES team with Eto'o and Henry up front

[Bender]

yeah not bad ......although i still think defense is their weak point ......puyol needs to be replaced .....they will be awesome to watch next season ......

Graham hunter on radio this mornign said the outgoing chairmen was doing this to leave a legacy and make sure that the new chairman is skint......as he had been negotiating with torres advisors to come to Camp Nou, which i found rather surprising.

Joan Laporta is Gordon Brown

Medical for Villa on Friday at the Nou Camp. Fee about £35 million apparently. Wow

Aye, at least he didn't come to england to one of the wealthy english clubs.

Fabregas maybe joining him... all very unsettling for players like Torres i imagine, being as he'll be spending his summer with them too. Hope he doesn't feel he's being left behind career wise seeing all this going on...and adding what's going on at lfc into the mix...he would'nt be human if he was'nt having doubts imo.

Bye bye Zlatan you utterly overrated lump of ****e

[PTP]

where will he go though zlatan? man city perhaps - £30m or something ridiculous

[Shaggy]

Haha Zlatan and Adebayor up front - the strike force with the worst attitude ever.

I think he's overrated, but last season:

Played: 41
Goals: 21
Assists: 10

Not bad.

[Shaggy]

Yeah not bad but I'd notch 15 a season playing up front for them. He's so overrated. The deal that took him there in first place was ****ing laughable, Eto'o's twice the player.

[PTP]

it's not that Zlatan is a bad player - he isn't, he just isnt' as good as he thinks he is, his attitude does set up him for a massive fall, and the deal with eto was just ****ing bizarre.

I'd have Zlatan at liverpool if we could get him for what he was probably worth, say £15m and didn't come with his reputation/baggage etc

Exactly.
