hahahahaha... wake up... this trade is impossible...

barca doesnt need any more creative midfielders.. and their defence is their weakest line.. so they need to keep puyol

Not for Barca.

IMO great deal for AC Milan, BS deal for Barca, what do u need with Rui Costa when u have the likes of Ronaldinho and Quaresma in ur mid??

barca doesn't need another midfielder and would be insane to give up puyol.

barca's defence by the look of things is similar to madrid's defence.... how bout that marquez guy?

i dont think barca is that dumb to get rid of their best defender for a has-been ;)

I think Márquez needs more time. Now i can't say if is good or bad. He has been too much time injured in preseason. He isn't 100%. I hope he can play better than last match.

I'd hardly consider one of AC Milan's most pivotal players a "has-been" :rolleyes:

well, Milan don't have an established right-back after this season, so this would be a great trade... and we have Kaka to take Rui's spot anyways

Hmn... well at least he's BEEN.:rolleyes: Unlike a nation which I'm yet to see an above-average player come from, OR Puyol, who I think is basically a prick.

Rui for Puyol? A direct trade? Nah.. Puyol+cash for Rui sounds better.. Even that I think would be rejected (H)

i think milan can afford to lose rui costa more than barca can afford to lose puyol.

Some comments about Rui Costa in here are disgusting. He can't be replaced in the Milan midfield, and if it weren't for his brilliant passes in the CL last year AC wouldn't have won it, same goes with the SuperCup. Rivaldo is on the bench, and Kaka will be too, Rui Costa cannot be replaced. He'll always be on AC's best 11, whether it be on the right or in the center. Fortunately he'll return to Benfica this summer :) ... or the next :D

People act like Kaka is 25 years old and has played 100 games purely consistent, Rui Costa ATM is much more proven then Kaka, not opinion, fact.

What a dreamer u are... :rolleyes: probably Rui Costa will only come to Benfica to play the last year of his carrer (and we're not completely sure about this also), so when he comeback he wouldn't be that good.

Tu va ver.

Puyol is basically the best is his position. The best of the world. I see him every week and EVERY week he demostrates it. And he can play in all positions of defence. 2 years ago: rightback(his natural position), last year: central(Barça) rightback-central(Spain), and now: rightback(Barça) & leftback(Spain)

He never will go out Barça. He means for barça more than what you can imagine. It would be a suicide for the president Laporta because he is a symbol of Barcelona. Any bid is poor. 30millions+rui costa is a very poor bid. Rui costa in Barcelona would clean the bench every week because Ronaldinho is better than rui costa. And the Puyol value is ruicostax100.


Puyol=Barça
Raul=Madrid

They are more than players, they are symbols :$. They aren't like figo who go to any team for some money. They have their heart in Barça(Puyol, of course) and Madrid.

Maybe when he is +32 years old... like Guardiola and Hierro, for example, but before is impossible that Puyol go out Barça.

:alex: :jambo: :junior: :mrpimp:

Sorry for my English :crazyboy:

[EDIT] oh yeah, I feel good :rockman:

puyol wont leave barça

anyway

puyol > rui costa , actually

they got ronaldinho





:sleep:

dream on.
It would be rui costa + milllions for puyol if anything. Barca has no need to rui costa anyways.

31

march 29, 1972

Cafu.

IMO. Barca need a top quality DMF, and two defenders.

They dont need anymore attackers. If milan get rid of rui costa then kaka or rivaldo will get a chance.

Rivaldo IMO is in the top 10 all time great attackers

Sorry but bias may have affected u.

IMO, Thuram and Cafu are at least at the same level if not better

Milan don't need a defender.
Barca don't need an attacking midfielder.

great deal :| (Y)

as the Barca guy (Dream Team) said Puyol is a symbol for Barca fans and I think one of the most loved by the fans in Barcelona, aswell as Raúl in Madrid, Reyes in Sevilla or Torres in Atletico....

its a rumor from a site that isnt even worth accounting for, i dunno y theres such a discussion as meaningless as this one :rolleyes:

i hope it happens
so we will eat up Barca's defense even worse

Not a good deal for Barca, great deal for Milan

true tribalfootball does have a reputation for bull

lets see because this forum is about soccer and so is this topic and it is to see what people think.

Pfff dont make me laugh Puyol for Rui Costa ?:crazyboy: ppl saying puyol's better than rui costa must have seen him playing once or twice or are completely drunk i'm afraid . It's NOT gonna happen milan are not selling rui costa this season anyway :rolleyes:

Btw i havent seen any player in recent football that has Rui Costa's vision and passing abilities exept Zidane of course

totti does

and regardless if it is a good trade or not for whatever team its not gonna happen

Rui Costa was Barcelona's original CAM target. They contacted AC about it but Milan said he wasn't up for sale... then they got Ronaldinho..

Rui Costa IMO is going to be a midfield version of Shearer.:)

i like how the spain/barca fans are saying puyol is better while the portugal/milan fans are saying rui costa is better.

at least we all agree this deal is bs and will never happen?

crap for barcelona:f***: , great for Milan:rockman:

Stupid deal for Barcelona at least... It will leave a gaping hole in their defence:rolleyes:

why do Milan want more defenders
c'mon Maldini, Nesta, Cafu, Simic and CostaCurta

I guess you can never have enough good defenders:D
