Can't see it happening myself and wouldn't believe anything I read in a Spanish newspaper. I think they're full of shite most of the time even more so than our own.
I'm convinced that Barca pay these papers to unsettle players purely to disrupt other clubs. They have no intention of signing 90% of the players they are linked with but it causes problems for other clubs. Low life scumbags!

If the player gets a sniff of a Barcelona shirt how will he compare finishing 3rd/4th every season and perenially getting as far as the last 16 in the CL to what he can expect at the Nou Camp?
Barcelona win big trophies year in year out, if they had been knocked out of the CL by Monaco, only won their domestic cup and finished 3rd, or even 2nd, the coach would have been on his merry way, with no bullshit about confidence building up and being ready to compete next season accepted.
Quote of the week.
Aaron Ramsey, post cup final. "I think we’ve learned in the big games how to manage them and it will be important to go into next season with that sort of mentality.
“The rest of the games take care of themselves".
Like the home games against Swansea & Sunderland?
Le cock stated after the game that we continued our good run into the cup final.......it was like the Swansea and mackem games never happened
He thinks we played well and were just unlucky, therefore on a good run.

I like debouchy (not as much as I liked sagna mind) because he brings an aggression and an orthodox defend at all costs mentality - granted bellerin has impressed a lot since coming into the team (another plus that fell into wenkers lap ) but I'm not sure yet that he is automatically first choice
I also prefer Debuchy, was really happy with him and his attitude and am gutted for him, he did nothing wrong but get injured, probably won't get his place back now unless he gets converted to centre half where he did a good job IMO.

So stuffing Villa means we can now deal with Chelsea incredible logic.
someone should show bellerin what happened to cesc when he went back. wasn't long before they turned on him and started booing him because he wasn't another xavi. such a bunch of spoilt fuckwits
El Confidencial say Benzema tops Arsène Wenger's list for a new striker. However any deal depends on Real Madrid signing Sergio Aguero. #afc

My god - is it Benzema time again? I suppose now Remy finally didn't join us, nor Higuain, he's got to be the name that we carry on getting linked with......until he signs for City

You may have spoken too soon, the Higuain story is a runner again. Sky Bet have Jackson Martinez at 1/2 to join Arsenal and only 6/1 to stay at Porto...So can someone please confirm that Martinez won't be coming.
Arsenal are set to beat Liverpool to Porto striker Jackson Martinez this summer, according to a report in the Daily Star.
The 28-year-old has said he will leave the Portuguese side and the Star say he has agreed terms with Arsenal, who have been long term admirers of the Colombian international.
In fact, as per the aforementioned source, Arsene Wenger is a confirmed fan and said of Martinez in February during a TV appearance: “Top physical strengths. Hugely efficient, he is the kind of player who can make room for himself in the box.”
Martinez confirmed his exit from Porto but fans may have to wait a little longer to hear of his arrival in England as he is currently away on international duty with Colombia.
Bard , i really can't see any names coming through the door. I think we will get a young french forward and whilst Benzema always gets mentioned it just won't happen. Cech would be a good signing imo.

Seriously? Do you not understand what he's saying? Arsenal went into a big game and swept a team aside. They didn't let the pressure get to them. Finals are finals, and we went there and played excellently. It's a good mentality to have which is showing signs of developing

Developing??Chelsea will continue to butt hole us starting with the community shield,cant you see what we are saying,WE DO NOT HAVE BIG GAME MENTALITY,when it comes to the playing the top teams we are limp wristed handbag swingers and always will be under Wenker
I like debouchy (not as much as I liked sagna mind) because he brings an aggression and an orthodox defend at all costs mentality - granted bellerin has impressed a lot since coming into the team (another plus that fell into wenkers lap
