    14 - Javier Mascherano

    Hi: Here are some very good articles about Mascherano in Sports (Please, do not ask me to translate them - they are too many.) It is basically what I said in my "take on Mascherano," but more professional. The first one is like a scouting report...

    Hi: Emiliano Insua was the captain of the Argentina U-20 team that did not qualify for the U-20 World Cup. He did not impress me even at U-20 level. Now, his elder brother, Federico Insua was a hell of a player. He played for Independiente, my team, and together with Montenegro, we won our...

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    Hi: I have been to London many times, but never to Liverpool. Therefore, I have no idea what life in Liverpool is like. We are going in circles with this topic. The fact of the matter is that Mascherano was under the gun from his wife and children, for good reasons or not. Masche speaks...

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    Hi: Well, you never know until you get there. On the other hand, you just raised a red flag. When a person wants to make friends and cannot, it might not be just her fault. Mind you that I was not raising any issues with life just in Liverpool (not England and let alone Great Britain.) Just...

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    Hi: Mascherano had a lot of pressure from his family (wife and children), when he played for the Reds because they could not adapt themselves to life in Liverpool. When a player forces a transfer, it is BS. However, when a team does it, it is good. Examples just in Barça: Chygrynski, Hleb...

    Hi: Mascherano is the player that Pep wanted since last year. If Masche is a waste of money, so is Pep. To follow your argument to its conclusion: we cannot waste any more time and bring in Maradona as the coach, to replace Pep. Best regards, Hektor

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    Hi: Here is my take on Mascherano. I believe that he can be described as another Puyol type of player - he plays with three balls on the pitch. Is he the best DM in the world? I do not know. On the same token, is Puyol the best CB in the world? I do not think so and who cares. The only...

    Hi: Here is an article from Sports regarding Mascherano: http://www.sport.es/default.asp?idpublicacio_PK=44&idioma=CAS&idnoticia_PK=724824&idseccio_PK=803 The article is saying that Mascherano accepted three million euros less from Barça, so that the team could up his transfer fee from 19 mil...

    Hi: I have no idea what you guys are talking about Masherano's looks. I admit that he is not a looker, but not ugly either, like Tevez - that's ugly. Besides being a very good player, he is an outstanding citizen - no ego. I'm going to bed, now. I just got up to check about Mascherano -...

    Hi People: I can assure that Mascherano will be flying to Barcelona under his own power - no need for a plane. He wanted to play so badly for Barça. What I read is that Masche forgave Liverpool the money they owed him in order to seal the deal. Best regards, Hektor

    Hi Ryan: Thanks! Actually, I never left; it is the off-season. I have been checking the news about Mascherano three to four times a day while keeping my fingers crossed. Therefore, I did not want to say anything until it happened. Hektor

    Hi: If the news about Mascherano are true, and I believe they are, I could not be happier. My favorite team, Barça has now my three favorite players: Milito, Messi, and Mascherano. How good is Masche? I do need to praise him; you'll see. The combination of Mascherano and Busquets is...

    Fc Barcelona jersey 2010-2011

    Hi: I agree and do not care for the new kit - too much red. I guess we should change our nickname from "Blaugrana" to "Granablau." On the other hand, I just could not get used to the psychedelic peach jersey, at first - I hated it! I like it now :) Hektor

    Barca wins 2009/2010 La Liga!

    Hi: OK. We won the league…again! This is getting boring. I guess that we'll win it again next season…one more time. And "Los Merengues?" They turned into another true "Merengue" (a mess,) season after season. To Florentino "The Magnificent" (in his mind: ) This is how you win titles and...

    Gabriel Milito

    Hi: What can I say? Maradona great player - awful manager. He has no idea what he is doing. His only experience as a manager came some seasons ago with Racing and lasted 6 - 8 games before he got fired. Therefore he qualified to be Argentina's National team coach? However, I do not blame...
