Just reading this now on Israeli media - so not sure how reliable, but it seems Villa is going to sign for Barcelona for 4 years. Will be $$$$ + Bojan + Hleb. They've offered Zlatan to Citeh & the Chavs.

I thought that had been nailed on for a while.
Obvious move, really.
Zlatan hasn't really done anything to justify that huge price tag, and Villa is far more mobile, and seems tailor-made for them.

Zlatan is a fucking stocking of shit. Lazy too.
I can't believe the deal for him was approved by the Barca 'board' or whatever system they have when it comes to deciding on transfers. Inter must have pissed themselves laughing when they saw that offer arrive in.
Villa will be dynamite in that team. I look forward to seeing them next season.

The Villa deal was on sky sports news last week! They said it was 40 million and the two boys! Not sure if it was sterling or yoyos though!

The Zlatan deal was always a bit strange by Barca. I think they were looking for an alternative style of a play, a plan B, to fall back on if their natural game wasn't working.
I haven't seen much of them this year, but I've seen enough of Villa to know he will be a big success for them. What that means for Ibro, I have no idea. You can write off a 4-4-2, though.

If Henry is off as well, who replaces him?
Do you keep Ibra or do you look for another striker.
I figured Villa might be more on Real Madrid's shopping list... given that Torres is unlikely to play for them.
It also begs the question.... who will Real Madrid's primary target(s) be.... Ribery possibly.. but who else?

It's also rumoured that Higuain could well leave, much to the displeasure of Madrid fans.
I read that he was offered less money than Drenthe is on.

I just hope he doesn't go to United. They probably can't afford him though. Thanks god.

I saw that before.
I liked his Torres Madrid and Neville Liverpool comparison too.

If of course we don't think 40m plus Bojan and Hleb is a good deal.
[/quote]
Nope, would easily rather have £60-70m. Hleb is another version of Benayoun, Bojan wouldn't hack it at the top in this league.

[/quote]He doesn't need to hack it at the top. Just 6th or 7th.
I'd take the above deal in a heartbeat. Use the 40m for another striker and a lb and were already in far better shape without spending a penny.

Except Hleb scores less goals. He can look amazing, but end product is often missing.
As for Bojan, why do you think he wouldn't "hack it" at the top (where we aren't, but anyway)?

I'm interested to see in which cost bracket you'd rate Bojan at?

Hleb will dribble around a whole team in a horizontal direction and then not really do much of note, no point there really.
Bojan is talented, small, not lightening quick, and not particularly strong, I mean how many of them have notched a ton of goals recently in this league?
