I'd never want to see Lampard in Barcelona. I think Deco just needs to be told that he isn't untouchable, because having an attitude like this he must think we're dead in the water without him. Deco on form is much better than Lampard on form, IMO. I think Lampard got his rep mostly because of his amazing goal scoring record, having in mind he's nowhere near a striker. But the fact is, Deco is surrounded with R10, Eto'o, Messi, Xavi, Saviola, Iniesta... it's harder for him to stand out when the other players on the team are doing their utmost to be attractive and spectacular. I think Deco is overall a better player than Lampard, faster, much better dribbler, equally capable of scoring and can basically run the game better.
2. But to focus on other issues... I don't see where the admiration for Abidal is comming from... I don't think he's anything out of the ordinary. I'd love us to sign Heinze. I know his name was mentioned before, I just don't know if he's still a possibility.
3. Diogo? Wtf? Are we going to start signing Madrid rejects now? Or am I missing something?
4. The Milito brothers, Alou Diarra and Alves would be fantastic. I just don't know how we'll pay all those fees. We'll most probably spend around 20M, if not more, on Alves. Our transfer policy is not to pay the double of the objective value (Madrid), or triple (Chelsea), but we'll still get sucked dry. Does anyone know our budget? Because I don't see how it can withstand the challenge of two players bought from Sevilla and Lyon. The only hope I have is that maybe Madrid and Chelsea are dumber than we think, so maybe that explains the hefty fees. Otherwise, if Lyon keep negotiating like they did so far, Sevilla as well, they'll ruin our finances, and for only two players! I didn't even mention Zaragoza, and their duo are more than worhty of a nice transfer fee...
I fear that we're getting carried away with all these super signings. I don't see how we can afford them all, in one summer, while in debt (I know it's under control, but it's a debt nevertheless).
VISCA EL BARCA!!!
well i think barca are allready in debt we only have 50 million for 4 signnings next season, not much really , albelda , marti , taiwo , and the milito brothers are thre ones we can afford, wihich imo its not that bad, this guys are really hardworking, forget about alves, abidal etc,,, we are never going to get this guys , we dont have the money for another big salary, plus i dont think we need any major player , we just need to fix a glicth here and thier,
btw i prefer yaya toure over diarra any day trust me on this one guys.
