He's agreed to join Barca in June when his contract expires...

 

Inside the Bernabeau they are not taking the news seriously... more concerned with getting Robinho...

Inter and Utd will be pleased.

 

Assuming they both still want him.

Barca are building quite a squad now. They really will be a force to be reckoned with for a few seasons to come now.

Unless of course Chelsea and the russian come knocking with some ridiculous offer for the easter bunny.

I don't think he'd go. He refuted those comments accredited to him the other week as well. Would you leave Barca for Chelsea if you were Ronaldinho? I wouldn't.

Are we sure he's not just another La Liga pansy? :rolleyes:

Personally I'm not at all impressed with what I've seen of him, looks overweight...But if free transfers is what we can afford well..

Santi Solari of Real Madrid is out of contract in the summer and Real are interested in offloading him in January's window for around ?1m.

Ive seen him a couple of times and he seems very good with the ball and can also find the net.

Would he be the answer to our problem right side?

Another average player, hardly figures for Madrid. He wouldnt fill me with glee tbh.

if we get 20 million in the summer we should be looking at buying in 2 quality and proven players, a la Alonso and Morientes, and maybe a few players to bulk the squad up. if we can get maybe SWP, and a quality centre half in the summer, then i would be happy. bring ALT back from loan, Diarra, and i think that would do us. the problems over the last few years is we have bought "Potential". thats all well and good when you have a squad capable of mounting a challange, but its not fantastic when you are scrambling for 4th.

 

my own opinion is that without investment rafa may get say £20m. it is possible Baros will be sold for say £10 -£15m, leaving us with a budget of £35 million, enough for a new winger, a new centre half, a new central midfielder, and a replacement striker that will compliment Cisse, Morientes and FSP

Solari...average??? I take it you've not seen much of him, he's quality!!! He doesn't figure much for Real because Zidane plays in his position.

 

Figaro says Barca have him wrapped up though

Morientes must be average to then.

Our problem hasn't been buying potential its buying average players. I'd take solari and routledge on bosmans or for a small sum now and wait till summer for the big moves, money permitting. thats if they'd come obviously

Another Spanish/Latin based player.

 

Its a very brave decision by Rafa to recruit so heavily from this league. You've got to admire his belief that these players will be able to change the culture of football and then the axis of power in the Premiership. I'm unsuprised that Nunez and Garcia in particular have found it difficult so far and the hope is things will change, but it is a risk as we saw with players like Diomede and Cheyrou.

 

Ideally I'll be happier if we were to spread the net wider, surely an experienced Manager like Benitez is aware of what the rest of Europe offers which makes me think that buying from La Liga is part of a deliberate policy.

 

Still you got to hand it to the Boss, we needed a radical change because Gerard's solutions were not changing anything and this has the potential to be about as radical as it could get

Ill admit Id be happier to see SWP and King being brought in, but we will need investment to get those type of players.

Solari would be a cheap alternative and a quality one at that. OK he isnt a regular and isnt setting la liga alight, but I think he would be 10 times better than nunez.

He's got great dribbling skills, far superior than those of macca, great mazy runs, great freekicks, good passing, great player overall, and for free at the end of the summer...

 

Hell, id put a cheeky 2m bid now and see what happens...

I think he's a class player. Really tidy on the ball. I don't think you can slagg a player off too much when it's Zidane keeping you on the bench..
