Uruguayan who plays for Bologne
Tello for 7M looks a bargain. He has all the tools to become something special.
So why are Barca selling him then?
Just wondering, not having a go.
Manager left and only won the Spanish equivalent of the Milk/Carling Cup? I would think that there's pressure to spend a bit to compete on all fronts and new manager want to keep Affalay. So something has to give.
Probably because he's shit, but I want to find that out for myself.
I'd be happy if our two cheap purchases were Sigurdsson and Tello - but we need 1-2 suarez like players (impact wise).
One's Ramirez, the other Ramires

I would take Berbatov. He didn't fit into the counter-attacking Man U side, but if we want to build our team around possession than we need as many intelligent and technical players as we can get. We need players with great first touch and creativity who can operate in congested space and unlock defenses with their intelligence and passing. Speed and athleticism will matter less in this system.
I also have a feeling Berbatov will have a point to prove to Fergie for leaving him out of finals etc. Might work in our favor if we do sign him.
Kalou or Krasic are both not intelligent players. Do not want. Well, Krasic can be a wing-back (he played in this position at CSKA, although not too well), but his crossing is not that great.

21 year old Uruguayan. Left footed playmaker, plays in the central no. 10 role a'la Silva or Mata. Though is pretty average IMO.
Those are fair points, but he is 31; has never had a great attitude, would be an ex-Manc, and would demand massive wages. If we want that sort of player, we should go after Luuk de Jong, and not Berbatov.
If that is true then i think we've just lost a fan (and i don't mean Localny).
How true. same with Arby. Still can't understand why we sold Arby for so little.
Carroll living and working in Paris? Not sure I could see that working out.
Sadly we are in the market for the players we can attract. Those that have failed to live up to early hype, or those that are purely shite.

Those are fair points too, but let's look at them one-by-one:
"He is 31" - intelligence, technique or vision don't disappear suddenly because of age. The attribute that deteriorates mostly is speed. That means that a player who didn't rely on speed when he was younger, will generally age better than the one who did. I think Berba will still be quite effective playing as a second striker (i.e. the Bergkamp role).
"has never had a great attitude" - depends what you mean by attitude. He has never moaned or undermined the coach or the team in any way, his attitude in that respect is perfect. If you mean looking lazy on the pitch, well, that's his style. He looks lazy and non-plussed even while scoring or doing an incredible trick. That's just who he is and that's part of his enigma. That never stopped him from being a good player.
"would be an ex-Manc" - like I said, with a point to prove against them. I understand that maybe for some people "ex-Manc" label would be impossible to overcome. Not for me though. Especially not with someone like Berbatov who is just being himself in every team he plays in. He played for Man U, but is he a "manc"? To me, Owen is much more of a "manc" than him at this point.
"and would demand massive wages" - not that massive at this point, I would imagine. He is considering going back to Germany; nobody is going to pay him tens of millions there. Well, Russians or Arabs or Chinese might tempt him with a big paycheck; it will be up to the player if he wants to play at a high level or just earn money.
Because they can't make the team yet. Barcelona will make sure they have a buy back clause just in case he comes good.
