Phew, they surely can't move for Torres now? Zlatan to City next I hope.
If the line up Cesc next i'll be thrilled. Arsenal will struggle and it will be less likely Barca will move for Masher.
Imagine being a Barca fan, signing Villa and Cesc in one window.

Yes, but also imagine being a Barca fan and paying €40m + Eto'o to get Zlatan.
That has to be worst ever deal in football history, even eclipsing the alleged €13m we refused for Lucas last year.

Was a pretty dodgy deal but that transfer happened because:
1. one reason was that Eto'o was always opinionated and he was one of the reasons there was a rift between rijkaard and ronaldinho and himself and the president
2. eto'o has won a fair bit with Barca and laporta didn't want a situtation where a striker lacked hunger to win because eto'o has won and he might not be motivated to score goals
3. madrid spent over 100m, and barca fans voiced concerns about how we didnt buy anyone big name players so laporta went after ibra
