I don't get why anyone would want Mou as Barca coach after all that's happened with him the past couple years. No matter how good he is. Also, how unlikely it would be.

Yeah, I think the "Messi is a saint" thing is largely the media's fault, not sure if "fake" is actually the right word but he's not an angel either. To a non-Barca fan like Josh I guess I can understand some of the stuff being annoying to hear about constantly. Regardless, I'm still a fan of...

Would you like Barca again if we signed him? ;)

Welcome :)

Agreed, I don't like that. I honestly care more about that than the stripes. Still not awful though, will probably buy one or both.

Went ahead and pre-ordered his book (after some clever deception on my part, TECHNICALLY it's not available to American customers... oops). Doesn't come out til the 30th, but does anyone seriously want me to post anything about it (stuff I find interesting or maybe amusing)? My Italian isn't...

Well, it's definitely true that in this day you have to move forward or get left behind, was just commenting that it's unfortunate that certain things have become "the way forward".

Sure, money has always played a factor, but not to this extent. With all the oil money, or owners who don't care about going into debt. And yeah, right now Juve is the only club who owns their own stadio, all the others are owned by the city. There are talks of Inter building their own stadium...

The problem with Italian football at the moment is that financially, they can't compete with the big clubs in other countries. It's getting harder to attract big foreign names to Serie A & the ones that were already there are being bought out (even some young Italians like Verratti now are...

yeh, would have to deal w/ Udinese as well... if any part of this rumor is true I wonder how much that has to do with it, since Inter would not see that entire 30m why agree to it? Unless it means Barca offer 30m to Inter & some additional fee to Udinese on top of it, which is even more...

Sky Italia - Inter do not want to sell Samir Handanovic and the 30 million offer from Barcelona is not going to be enough.

The racism thing was 8 matches. And I think this ban is longer because of his reputation and previous conduct like the other biting incident and the racism incident. Probably someone who never had a history of doing controversial things wouldn't have gotten a 10 match ban.

Yup, a big NO to Bielsa.

Now Liverpool won't even be in the Europa League next season. Good job Suarez...

Sorry mitko, but wow... no way can that be true.

He's been fantastic most of the time this season & for the price we got him for, definitely a great piece of business. But I agree with others, he needs to mature & work on his temper. This isn't the first time he's done something stupid after getting angry.

Well Madrid are definitely our rivals, that's fact and not an opinion. But it's up to the individual fan whether or not they care about the rivalry or "hate" Madrid (though this is probably what you meant). Personally I despise them, really hope Dortmund manage to pull something off.

Some Italian press/Inter fans have taken to calling him San-danovic (as in San = Saint). I think he flies under the radar for most because Inter aren't a top team atm & also because he's already 28 y/o compared to those other three who are much younger.

Yes. Been outstanding this season (as well as in the past for Udinese), Inter would be a lot further down the table than fifth if not for him IMO.

Handanovic's agent denies any contact with Barca, of course agents have been wrong/covered things up before though. But 30m is too much for a gk & that would be stupid from both sides... Barca bidding that much & Inter letting go of one of their few good players this season.
