Definitely it will be somebody alive. quite probably a football player with two legs. Unless they decide to go for the one-legged thing. In any case definitely without a doubt either somebody or nobody or a middle ground solution. See? I can report 100% accurate information too! Why isn't MD...

It's not like Newell's was a super rich club, it's not like he was chosen amongst millions of hopefuls- Martino had to work with what he had, and that doesn't mean that a single Newell's player is Barça quality.

Chelsea don't need the money, so he's unattainable.

Not really. Captaincy, comfort or hairstyle are equally irrelevant. The only relevant point is the one similarity: both are in clubs with no need for money that are, therefore not selling one of their starters.

Oh, right then. So if Thiago Silva wasn't captain PSG would have totally sold him. Sure.

Absolutely. Exactly the same way we got Thiago Silva after PSG signed Marquinhos.

Which is great, and yet there's still the amazingly relevant difference here that neither Florentino nor Rosell are shelling money from out of their own pockets, but are limited to spend from their respective club's own income. So saying "it's not the same" is not an absurd argument, but the truth.

Two years younger and already playing for a big (the biggest) European side, having just won the U21's... He's got a way bigger rep than Vergini and he's younger. Are we going to sign somebody WORSE than Bartra? I don't think so.

A couple of seasons ago he played for Verona in the Italian Serie B. Verona didn't want him and he went back to Argentine the next season. That's not the CV of a Barça quality player, frankly.

I would like the CB to have been signed and starting the preseason already, yeah. In any case, the point is that ideally it would be to late at this stage for a new manager to have any effect. If things are running late enough that Martino's opinion can still make any impact, we are in serious...

Behind his back? I honest to god hope that they've been in advanced talks with several prospective CB's long before Vialnova's announcement, I would find it seriously alarming otherwise.

Albiol? No, I haven't actually seen Albiol under Mourinho, no. In fact I would be surprised if he's played even five matches under him. You know what CB I've seen under Mourinho? A pairing of Ramos and Varane, two of the best attacking CB's I've seen. Let's not resort to wrong clichés to...

Yes, that's true. It was also reported for weeks that PSG buying Marquinhos TOTALLY meant that they were going to sell Thiago Silva. Now, what you have to ask yourself is 'does that make any sense?' and I don't mean 'a lot of sense', I mean 'any'. 'At all'? Mourinho just coming out of the blue...

Jesus Christ, people, don't be naïve. Chelsea are not selling. Let's try to focus on clubs that actually need money and therefore are willing to sell, shall we?

There's been some rumours that show Pep in a bad light in Rosell's pet newspaper Sport in the last year. The latest, and apparently what drove him over the edge, the article claiming that he tried to steal Neymar's deal for Bayern, trying to convince the Brazilian star that Tito would be unable...

I refuse to believe anything until it's official. Every day there's another rumour.

It bothers everybody else. And of course he went there for money. It's not likely that he was a PSG fan during his childhood in Brazil, is it?

Yeah. Not every French defender is a Varane or an Abi. In fact a lot of them are technically lacking. Same with Zouma.

He'll vote for himself, at the very least...
