Emery had a slip yesterday and admitted Alba deal.


Safe thing is that we are going to sign a LB, CB and maybe a forward (Neymar, Van Persie, Adrián or a surprise). Montoya, Muniesa and Bartra promoted.

Another rumour report we'll execute Botía's buyback clausue (€2.5m) and sell it for twice the price to Atlético or Málaga.

Talented Isco linked with us. i can't see this happening, Málaga pay high wages and we have many youngsters in his position.

The only forward i'd bring is Neymar, one of best players i've ever seen.


Romário --> Ronaldo --> Rivaldo --> Ronaldinho... he must follow the saga.

I'd say him or Van Persie would be my top picks to reinforce our attack this summer.

RvP would obviously be great, but we don't really need him. And the thing is, how do you play him? Messi plays centrally nowadays, and RvP isn't as effective on the wing. Messi as a false nine behind RvP with 2 wingers? Can't play that offensively against everyone, I'd think.
 
I can't see RVP fitting in your team now that Messi is played centrally, if Benzema wasn't working out at Moudrid then I'll probably see him going there. Maybe if the two Diegos leave Inter this summer he could work there but they are in just as bad shape as Arsenal so I'll be shocked to see him join them.

his name doesn't start with an 'R', so he fails to meet the qualifications :rolleyes: ... playing him and Leo in a double false 9 system would be awesome ...

van Persie is too injury prone ... leave him be as captain at the Arsenal ...

glad the club finally cottoned on, nearly 3 years later ...

Yeah, but 25 million euros? I mean, ******* seriously? Why even bother if you can't fabricate a realistic price. He cost Liverpool more than that, and he's had 1.5 successful seasons. He's probably going to cost Andy Carroll money.

I've really only seen him play against the USA and in that really pathetic Club World Cup in Tokyo, but wouldn't Neymar be better in a Villa kind of role? He doesn't seem like he can work through the middle at Barca because he lacks the one touch technique, at least that is my impression. But on the wing cutting in he could be very dangerous. I think I'm mostly stealing Fili's analysis of him, but it conforms to the very limited times I've seen him play.

One of the dangers of staying in Brazilian football -- shrewdly identified by national team coach Mano Menezes -- is that it places Neymar in a comfort zone. Defensive lines tend to play very deep, leaving lots of space on the field for the talented player to pick up possession and define what he intends to do. Moreover, over the past few years Brazil has become something of an island in terms of the criteria used by referees. Free kicks are given for minimal or no contact and there is a considerable cultural tolerance of diving.

In this sense, last Thursday's game in Buenos Aires was a bit like an introduction to European football and to the challenges Neymar will face when he finally does cross the Atlantic. Velez stayed much more compact that the average Brazilian side, going out of its way to squeeze Neymar's space. When he did manage to launch himself on a run, it ended with an extravagant dive -- punished with a yellow card from the excellent Paraguayan referee Carlos Amarilla.

There was one quick exchange of passes with his otherwise catatonic teammate Paulo Henrique Ganso that ended up winning Santos a free kick on the edge of the Velez area. What would Neymar produce? He scuffed his shot wide, showing that technically and psychologically it is much harder to produce the goods when given just one opportunity during the game rather than the usual six or seven.

hmm

Police is requisitioning Catalan/Basque flags in Madrid and city has authorized a Falange manifestation today. FASCIST SCUM!


*La Falange: Spanish political party, founded in 1933 as Falange Española by José António Primo de Rivera, son of the former Spanish dictator. Professing generally the principles of fascism, the Falange distinguished itself from other fascist groups by its great emphasis on national tradition, particularly the imperial and Renaissance Christian traditions of Spain. The Falange militia joined the Insurgents in the Spanish civil war of 1936–39. Merged with the Carlist militia by Francisco Franco in 1937, the organization was renamed Falange Española Tradicionalista and was made the official party of the Nationalist state. It was a much less independent force than Italian fascism, however, and was exploited and manipulated by Franco. From the middle of World War II on, the party grew steadily weaker, and Franco sought to make it a kind of bureaucratic nationalist front. By the early 1970s it had virtually no influence.
