FC Barcelona - Campeones de España!

fcb wrote:Yeah, apparently the confusion came about because he had "Rafinha" on his shirt. Sounds like he made a big impact - goal and assist. Fast tracked to the B team, let's see if he can continue his progress.

Speaking of Rafinhas...are you lot excited to be replacing Dani Alves with Rafael da Silva?????

Also, what is up with not renewing Busquets!?!?!?!?!?!

I don't understand the board's deal with renewals.

They've tried every little ridiculous thing imaginable for Alves - image rights, new sponsorship deals, some special tax clauses, blah blah blah. Just give him a blank cheque for fuck's sake. If he wants 6m euros flat, let him have it. Not 4.5m plus "the face of Herbalife in Brazil". WTF. He deserves it and is as important to our team as Messi/Xavi/Iniesta/Pique and co.

Same thing with Busquets - he wants the same as Mascherano (5.5m euros)...ok, bit aggressive considering his age, but you can't say he doesn't deserve it. World Cup winner FFS.

The thing with Alves is that there really isn't anyone else like him at the moment. You bunch of contes probably have 2 or 3 more Busquets in your youth teams! I read somewhere that Alves wanted as much as Xavi....but if he wants 6 that doesn't seem to unreasonable. Still it's all very bizarre. Maybe you can't afford whilst still paying for Zlatan to NOT play for you.

Jeffren out for 5 weeks according to Goal.com...I would seriously get rid. He's a perma-crock, and will probably never be quite good enough either, certainly not for Barca.

Think 3-5m would be good business for him.

Barca lost last night because Pedro was not even in the squad. Discuss.

He's not good enough! Sell him and buy Robinho instead!!!!!!

3-5m?

I'd be amazed if we got 3-5 euros for him. Definitely no future at the club. Will be (or should be) off in the summer.

if sport is to be believed that club and alves have reached a real impasse as it relates to the renewal of his contract, they are offering him the same amount as VV and Puyol, plus things like Herba life and such he wants more, and both are refusing to move on their demands.

is it just me and is rosell trying to turn us into arsenal, where its all about the finances, and as long as well keep playing pretty football it doesn't matter if we win.

to much fucking wheeling and deal man just give the man something close to what he wants and get it done with.

also the club has given dos santos the go ahead to find a new club, i hope he learns from his brother and doesn't go running after the money

Nice read for zonalmarking.com onm why alves is so important to us, though we all know the reasons already

It proves my question from the topic about players's wages - where was Victor Valdes on the TOP 50 list?

barca B look a shade of the team what was so sexy at the beginning of the season, they can't seem to hold the ball for shit

pedro became the first Spanish player to score in 5 consecutive games since Quini did it in the 80/81 season according to marca.

Dongou and Deulofeu keeps doing it for Juvinel A

both scoring to continue the teams winning ways, Seems as if Dongou is now a permanent fixture for the team, Deulofeu keeps getting better every season, doubled the amount of goals in scored last season already.

both 16 and tearing up the U-18 league

What does that mean ? i keep hearing him linked with us but i think it would be difficult to get him away from Barce, id fucking love it if we managed it though.

I would f*cking love it too! He just said Alves shouldn't stay if he's not happy. Jokes aside the two sides seem quite far off in the negotiations for his contract renewal.

Good skillzzz from the true Balon d'Or 2010
