The real deal with Mascherano

[Diego]

Not quite. Of the clubs that meet the asking price, Javier and Javier alone will decide who he plays for. If MSI accept a bid from Barcelona and he doesn't want to play for them then he won't sign. Hence the first option clause not being worth piss.

well if there isn't a fixed asking price and they flog him of to the highest bidder, then theres not much to choose, and if that club is real or barca i doubt he'd tell them no either...

The Kremlin's first attempted extradition of Berezovsky pre-dates MSI's existence, or at least their involvement in contracting footballers. As long as Boris is based in the UK and there is no extradition treaty between London and Moscow, Boris and his fortune are safe. Putin does not and never has entered the equation.

And this is what it has to do with it AF - you ought to straighten your facts out before wading in with half-baked arguments.

You really are laughable. No mega rich russian is safe from Putin, it won't matter if he is based in the UK.

If Putin want him then he will get him in one way or another. Russia is now back to what it was before Gorbatjov.

So maybe you should straighten your facts before you open your mouth again.

AFII, as usual, you don't know what you are talking about.

But you're a nice guy and you mean well.

So let's end it there.

I know what I'm talking about but as you say, I will let it end there.
