Luis is convinced half our squad will leave and that Eto'o, Villa etc will sign for Pool.. and don't think we are exactly on the same page

half your squad or two players? I still remain very confident that either if not both will leave in the summer

What about Márquez, Zambrotta, Giuly and Saviola to Juve; Gio to Feyenoord, Thuram back to France, Dinho and Belletti to AC Milan, Messi to Inter, Xavi and Guddy to Man Utd, Deco to Chelsea, Eto'o to Liverpool, Motta to Fiorentina, Edmílson to Italy, Ezquerro to go back to the Basque country..

That leaves us with Valdés, Sylvinho, Oleguer, Puyol, Iniesta.. We are really in trouble.

Never said any of that.

Well if you believe the press then that is what is going to happen...

I don't believe all the press no.

I still think Eto'o and Ronaldino will both not be at your club next season

it has nothing to do with whether or not he is a machine. because i have seen him for 4 seasons now and he has not been getting better every season. actually he has been worse for every season. i gues it could be because he has been in the same system and much of the same players. and the zidane comparison doesnt really work now does. i mean he showed bad form in the end of his career which is normal. and if you remember that at the time he was having 3 good seasons for us before the hole team suddenly fell in a slump they never got out off. i wont complain if dinho plays this way at 30+. and raul was never the best in the world as dinho is often called plus he did get alot of stick for his form but nowadays it is like a fact that he isnt good. to be honest im not looking at his assist or goals but his performances and more and more his performance is to show form in about 10-15 mins in a hole game.

So who do you think we will bring in for replacements? Since they are leaving we will obviousely need replacements.. (and they'll have to be very good if Laporta doesn't want to get crucified, plus available)

I remember reading last summer a rumour of some Brazilian club enquiring about Sylvinho. And if Madrid have elections again then their presidential candidates may sign Iniesta for 150 million euros...or we may sell him to Atletico in part exchange for Pablo as was being rumoured last summer.

So now we're down to just Valdes, Oleguer, Puyol. And approximately 500 million euros. Let's buy Abramovich.

Thing is that there aren't anybody!! which again means why the fuck would we sell if we already now that we can't replace them!

But that's what TITO meant - how do you define Ronaldinho's form? Most of the time I expect him to be just a "normal" footballer who can make the simple passes. And he does that most of the time, of course this season it's been a bit off.

If a player wants to leave then the club must surely sell them.

And there aren't any players? are you having a laugh? there's plenty of players, just look harder

I've been saying things just to have a little fun, but in truth, I would like Ronaldinho to come, but we don't need him.

I think we should sign a solid central defender to partner Nesta for next season. Oddo and Janku give us good options on the flanks.

I think Berlu and Galliani will do a lot to get Ronaldinho, but I think they should focus their attention on getting any of the following players:

Canna, Zambrotta, and Buffon.

Ronaldinho has just said today that he wants to remain at Barca, the recent ploy by him and his brother was just go get Barca to get a new deal with more money on the table quicker.

Nobody at that level is available.. In England there is Cristiano and Drogba, in Italy Kaká and Stankovich and in Spain maybe Villa..

Well you wont get Villa that's for sure

off course not.. he has already bought a house in Madrid.

I know, there's lots of examples like that (Steve Gerrard Gerrard, he kisses the badge on his chest, etc.) but with Rooney's comments everyone knew something was up because he obviously wouldn't stay at a midtable club all his life. Ronaldinho's comments are different. And note nobody's saying he'll stay for life, just that he'll stay in the short term. It would be unrealistic for us to say right now that he'll retire in Barça.

Luis, I wish I was as sure as you on so many things.

I don't think Zambrotta will leave just yet.. he has finally settled, bought a house and the fans really like him now.. (great goal recently)

As for Dinho.. be prepared to pay his buy out clause or Kaká plus money..

I always said give Zambrotta half a season, and surprisingly it was exactly right. His form has picked up a lot since January, and yesterday he even looked comfortable at RB with only a couple of mistakes (though admittedly it was only Depor).

'Dinho agent: Milan link 'valid' Saturday 14 April, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ronaldinho has been frozen out of the Barcelona squad and his agent has hinted Milan are in the wings. “Let us say it is a valid news story.”

The Brazilian is in the middle of tricky contract renegotiation talks with his club and this week was surprisingly sent on a personal training schedule.


Ronaldinho will sit out the next two games in order to “find his best form” after a bout of tonsillitis. The Spanish Press has been eager to point out this season he has missed 81 training sessions and will be absent for at least Sunday night’s Liga tie with Real Mallorca and the Copa del Rey semi-final against Getafe.


Meanwhile, agent Roberto de Assis spoke to a Brazilian news agency about Milan President Silvio Berlusconi’s repeated assertions that Ronaldinho was destined for San Siro in a £40m deal.


“If President Berlusconi says so, a man who was also Prime Minister of Italy, who am I to disagree?” smiled the representative to ‘Globoesporte’.


“Let us say that it is a valid news story. As for Barcelona, we will try to resolve the situation in the best way possible.”


If the Rossoneri are being used as a bluff to push Barca into giving Ronaldinho a considerable pay rise, then the ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’ sees another alternative on the horizon.


Following Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract extension with Manchester United, both Inter and Milan are now reportedly looking at a summer swoop for Thierry Henry.


The Frenchman could be tempted into a departure by Arsenal’s disappointing season and has long been admired by Nerazzurri patron Massimo Moratti.


Another candidate for both Milan clubs is Ronaldinho’s Barcelona teammate Samuel Eto’o.
