FC Barcelona Thread 2006/2007

I am happy about the UNICEF sponsorship, much better than B-WIN, Siemens etc.

In all honesty I do think that if the club runs into trouble then Laporta will ditch them unfortunately.

All this talk about expanding the stadium must cost a tonne, something I think is completely uncalled for, and I don't want it to hamper new conntracts for the players or the odd signing.

True, our stadium is hardly filled except for the biggest games, so why expand it. If anything, it'll only "deaden" the atmosphere more.

But at least our economy is fairly healthy.. I still can't understand how RM can go on spending like they do (already 70 mill this summer)..

regarding the atmosphere, I just think chanting isn't part of the culture, a bit unfortunate but impossible to change.

Apparently they had 150 million or something in reserve. But I'm not too worried, like you said, they're spending it all very quickly, and if they don't immediately start winning trophies their financial situation will also worsen.

Plus with Perez gone they are probably not negotiating the same contracts as before where the club got 50% of players' image rights. And their main cash cow Beckham is in a sporting slump and the stats showed that Ronaldinho has now overtaken him in earnings.

If we can keep them couple more seasons en blanco then their decline will continue But it's a tough "if"!

RM a Segunda !!!!!

(Naahhh, that would make it a bit boring.. better have them fighting unsuccessfully for European football every season )

Medina was stupid to think had chance. i don't even know the others name.

His hold campaign was about up-date the stadium,(how Fucking stupid) and say Rossels was the one that made all the Big signings.

Though the Nou Camp could no with and over-hall, reduce the Capacity to around 80,000 and but in some more VIP boxes.ext

Any links to last night game? But the whole game, not just highlights videos.

I find it funny that most clubs get paid to wear a sponsor yet Barça has to pay to wear a sponsor

I was just wondering until when we are going to allow Eto'o to behave like that. It is clear that he is a selfish, egoistic, spoiled kid, and i have stated the same thing since he arived in Barcelona. He need to understand that first comes the club and then the players. And his only competition is Guddy.
What would he do if Barca brought some players like Inter did and he was benched.
I know that he will never realize this, but i dont care frankly, as long as he do his job, and when we are finished with him, he can leave (RM as his dream move).

Harsh word i like

Maybe when hes 32 wel will have a long hard think.

Nah, really. It is obvious that his hidden desire is to play for Real Madrid and to prove to them that he is worth to wear their jersey. Either way, i know that he only plays for himself and i stand by that opinion.

Anybody knows tonight's line-up?

Valdés; Zambrotta, Oleguer, Márquez, Sylvinho; Xavi, Motta, Deco; Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Giuly.

Juan Laporta Had been confirm as the new? Barca president.( thank God no more of Martin and his bad suits)

Txiti-was spotted in Portugal yesterday according to reports he was their scouting the young Brazilian Andersson, who he sees as the prefect replacement for Deco.

Is anyone watching this? What's happening?

I'm not watching, but as i can see the result, we are already 3 up. God, we are good.

it is 2/3 I’m get different scores. Anyways we are two good this is the Bayern First team and we are killing them.

i think that every team should come together and go to fifa a file a petition against us. That will not allow as playing. REM at the same time. Cause we are just too good.

Who scored?

Actually Marca site says 4 - 0 to Barca, Saviola getting the last one

Good evening Barca fans! I missed the first half...is Bayern really that bad tonight? I mean 0-4 after 52 minutes...

It's us who are good, not that Bayern are bad.

Lol, I see. It's a bit embarrassing though, after all Bayern is the current German Champion...

As a dyed in the wool cule, I would like to sound a note of caution. On Sunday we play Celta away and although my nearest and dearest insist we will win easily, I can see the team being drained both physically and mentally and rolling over to have their tummy punctured if Celta go for it. I think we've played too much this week.

Makaay & Hargreaves didnt play did they ?

NO they didn't

doesn't make a differnece does it...we're awesome

That match was so friendly that it can't even be called a training session. In a training session the defenders tackle, here the Bayern players were just sitting back and watching us play, watching the crowd, making some coffee, just generally chilling out till we gave away the ball.

Easy victory in the end but I'm not drawing any conclusions...btw, I'm starting to be converted to the keep Saviola and get rid of Ezquerro bandwagon. If only Saviola and his agent weren't such pricks when it came to money.

I have been on the bandwagon since he played the first pre-season game.


do you think that if he hasn't been sold or loaned our by the end of the Transfer window that he will get any playing time this season

tbh I doubt it. At most he may get to play in some Copa games. He definitely won't get anywhere near a European squad so that his eligibility is maintained.
