Not really, he started against us and well, it didn't go well. I don't think he played again after that this year.

Has Torres really fallen that far that he could have been sent on loan to West Ham if Drogba was available?
West Ham reveal Torres offer.
That is just sad.

Barca have had some amazing individual players.
This hat-trick from Rivaldo vs Valancia is just unbeatable.

That Barca team was the most enjoyable to watch. Ronaldihno/Eto were godly. Here's an old commercial with 'dihno in it. I practiced the move he does at 1:19 so much and I still suck at it

As for current Barca, I find their tici-taca playstyle quite boring to watch. The only entertaining stuff are Messi's flashes of brilliance. That's why I enjoy Sunhi's gifs, he captures all of them in a 10 second long gif

I agree; there's no doubting they're a better team now, but the speed of their attacks when Messi and Ronaldinho flanked Eto'o was incredible.
Heh, Rivaldo's agent offered him to my local club this winter. Avram Grant and Rivaldo, what a combination that would have been

I don't see anyone hinting at that, other than whoever wrote that article.
He's 19 in a week or two/ too much FM.
Doubt they sell anywhere near as many shirts as Messi. If you buy a Barca shirt, you buy Messi. They also aren't in many commercials, unlike Henry and Messi who has Gilette etc.
Don't understand why Ibra isn't there though. He makes around €10m a year alone on salaries, and then you have Nike sponsorship etc. Guess he must be right below Henry.
Sullivan and Gold have been talking a lot of shit.
Look at that tag size in the description. What a dick.

I read a few months back, maybe on Barca's twitter that 85% of shirts sold in the FCB Megastore were printed with Messi. The first jersey each season I buy has Messi on it. Then I get a few others, Pedro and Thiago are this seasons picks for the new kits.

Yeah that doesn't sound really hint at that. More like = We still have some hope in him/maybe you can get him when he is 35/being polite and not just laughing at them. You can really put whatever you want to into those words.

Alot of it is down to incredible sponsorship deals he has. Marketing wise he's rated as one of the top 5 footballers in the world and apparently he gets about £7 a year in image rights which is outside of his wages because for example he is comfortably the highest shirt seller in the country.
Been in FIFA commercials for the last 3 years I think also.

Well since you put it that way, it makes sense.

United's second quarter financial results came out this morning. The club has bought back more of the debt. It now owns £92m of the £500m bond issue of a couple of years ago. I guess that's where the Ronaldo money went. What's worse is it's being bought back at a higher cost.
Just crazy that in 2 years we've spent almost £100m on buying back debt. Imagine what we could have done with that money if it was available for transfers.
Also, strange that we've bought back so much debt at a higher cost so quickly. Obviously wasn't the clubs original plan of action which is worrying.

Footy-gaf, who is going to pick FIFA12 for Vita?

Van der Vaart sets derby date
Dutch playmaker confident he will be ready to face Arsenal
4 goals and 2 assists in 3 North London Derbies.

At this rate it will take us 8 more yrs to get rid of the debt????
If the Glazers are still there in 8 years, I will be significantly pissed.
Always worth a repost. Speaking of which, twitter says Terry's knee could be proper fucked.
Man City have a fantastic injury record this season. I guess they can afford the best medical staff and facilities with all that cash. I can't remember the last time they had to cough up a makeshift XI the way United, Spurs and Arsenal have had to this season.
More good Spurs injury news:
Looks like the best XI could enter the field on Sunday.

The debt markets are significantly worse now than when the bond was issued, it makes sense to buy back the debt. Man United net debt is about £430m. If the Glazers float the company at the end of this year then it could raise up to £700m which will clear the debt and then some.

Kehl signed a new contract until next summer with an option for another year.
Great but that's not Kagawa

Just wait till Arsenals players are back from injury, they will win the league i tell ya.

Yep, a team with Diaby, Mertesacker and Andre Santos in the side is nailed on for first place.

Makes sense. Did you buy an Ibra one?
I did and I wear it with pride. He may have been a douche but it was a good season.
I am going to buy this I think in the next few days. 3rd fave barca kit.

C'est vrai. Just ghostwriting future Daily Mail angles.
The Redcafe thread taking the piss out of RAWK is the only way I can bear it now. The paranoid egotism is at plague levels.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that Ronaldo and not Ronaldinho?
The trick he pointed to is Ronaldinho

I so am.
But might have to wait, just read that the version sold in stores over here only has the Dutch language and commentators - I'd much rather play with English menus and commentary.
What the fuck EA
Oh, right. I didn't watch the whole thing. Thought it was all Ronaldo and Figo.
Speaking of Rivaldo and the old Barca, we beat them 3-2 at St. James' Park. Who is your god now Barca fans?
edit: well obviously your god now is Messi.
I was till I saw the price. £40 for a fucking hand held game is ridiculous. I'll stick with Rayman for a while :|
