Always thought Mikel does a good job there despite being hated by Chelsea fans

sam is basically saying that mancini is useless. if you cant impress tactics on your team you are worth nothing

Julio Cesar wants to stay in England, Arsenal favourite to sign him.

Not true.

VDB is making some regressive choices tactically, squad wise, almost everything, but he is a very important element of what they have been able to accomplish.

He is working with a intelligent and talented group - and in spite of a range of challenges over the past couple of years he's created a squad with a unique harmony, forced players to grow up, put aside their differences and personal ambitions and play (or cheer on) their teammates in whatever role required of them.

And I'd say it's paid off.

He does a "good" job, is that good enough for a team with Chelskie's aspirations?

Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri
Thiago Alcantara's father,fmr WC94 champion Mazinho,gave his ok to allow negotiations with Real Madrid, and meetings have already started

OK. Its on. When is Varane signing a contract at us?

never. but albiol is available

Justice for Enrique?

Would grab Rafinhia as well

Horrible by our board. Abidal, Thiago. Puyol almost turning 65. - where the hell are our new 2 defenders?????????????????????????????? Im serious though, we should go after Varane. 30m release clausule - if we dont get him, atleast we'll make RM pay him more

Varane started 30 games this year - Zidane (the man who pushed for his transfer) is about to take on a significantly larger role at the club and is likely going to be in charge of squad building. His biggest threat is a declining Pepe.

Why exactly would he want to leave?

Haha we already raised Varane's release clause this season. It's 200 million euro

Thiago come home ffs

I think Varane wants to win trophies right? Barca is the place

i would exchange Messi for Varane, Varane cancels him out anyway whenever they play. and you have Nerman the nike nigerian prince now.

#JusticeForEnrique

All kidding aside - before somebody thinks Im 'trolling' and get banned again - good for Thiago he is think about leaving, I hope he gets more minutes at Real Madrid. The thing that does disturb me, these guys were here to replace Pique/Puyol/Masch at some time - they are all leaving now and we dont even have anybody to replace Pique/Puyol, let alone replacing the replacers

We didn't actually sign him yet lol

(Did we?)

No, but I have no doubt its going to happen. Either way these guys are leaving. Some have played less then 30 minutes in a full season.

no but meeting with his dad is an exciting news (providing it's true)

Dani's face if Thiago signs with us

As said before tancredi is about as reliable as ballsbag

I have noticed a trend here recently tho people suddenly believe shit sources when its something they want to believe

Human nature

I'm very skeptical about everything - we'd probably be interested but Barca can kill this very quickly. Been with the club 10 years or so - Xavi is 33 and might retire soon - and at the very least is due for a reduction in minutes.

All they have to do is probably assure him he is ahead of Cesc for Xavi's role - and give him some decent money and I think he will stay where he is.

Mole that's been the case since the dawn of time ffs

Thiago has offers from Chelsea, City, Man United and Bayern. He didn't yet decide if he'll stay or leave. Madrid not an option for him. [md]

relevant? i though mundodeportivo was crap

They are, but they still know more about Barca than any of us

"crap but still know more than us was the argument?"

that's the smell of fresh coffee

Im hoping Thiago goes to Chelsea or City?

they cant assure him of that. Cesc is like an endangered species that needs to be protected, he needs to succeed, so he is a priority ahead of Thiago. and if Xavi is rested and fit, i would like to know how many games a year he wont play because young thiago needs gametime...would love to watch the coach telling him "you aint playing bro, young kid needs time" never happens dude
