Let's face it, if Pep said no when Cadena Ser and Rac1 said he did it would be all over Sport and MD this morning, which it isn't. Looking at the way the media reports are going I would guess that Pep's approved the transfer and things will be made official later today.

Pleb and Keirrison were both Txiki efforts, you can tell by the way Pep treated them that he never wanted either at the club

Subject to Pep giving his "ok". At this price it's a decent signing.

You can make a case for either player because both score better than the other in various categories i.e. Xavi is more consistent but Zidane scored more goals, Zizou was more spectacular but Xavi is the master craftsman. For me they're on a par with each other.

Higuain's about 50% of the reasons you've just about managed to cling onto our coat tails these past two seasons and make a fight of things in La Liga, and you're the type of "fan" that almost drove him out of the club.

Those of us who have been following the club for many years will remember a certain Andres Iniesta excelling in the DM position during the 05/06 season especially, the only pre-requisite for the DM is that they can get a tackle in when required.

LOL @ Beast ripping into another madridista

There are a few fans on here based in the Balkans, must be exciting for you guys to have the prospect of a visit from Barca next year.

To clarify he said he will TRY to bring Cesc IF the price was right, there's a massive difference between that and a so called promise to get him come what may

Correct. Although he was asked about him and made the right noises there was never a promise, it was all rumours from the press who wanted a juicy transfer story to spice up an otherwise dull election.

I understand that being shown up to be delusional or dishonest won't please you but what can I do? You want to establish a lie as the truth, I've asked you to prove it and all you can come up with is four links none of which add any weight to your case whatsoever.

My view is based on the information that I have gleaned from reliable sources, yours is based on foreign journalism and rumour websites, those aren't facts. Until you can demonstrate through quotes or a primary source that a promise was made to sign Cesc and that this somehow formed a key part...

It's extremely obvious that Cesc wasn't a cornerstone of the campaign, that's not to say that he wasn't mentioned once or twice but there was never a promise and the campaign was very much centred on the club itself, not transfers. Read Rosell's manifesto, watch the TV debates, look through the...

You're quoting the Daily Star? :rofl1: If you had followed the election campaign in any detail you would know that Cesc was anything but a cornerstone of the campaign, if you'd read the manifestos or listened to the debates you'd know he barely featured in the election. Your relationship with...

There are certainly aspects of what happened that Rosell's people take the blame for, but there were clearly inadequacies about this stage in the tour as a whole that are down to what was put in place by the previous board and the events management firm they employed to manage the events. It's...

Yeah I've just been reading it actually, certainly not good PR for the club but the tour was organised before the elections even took place by the previous regime. If decisions were taken by the new board that affected what happened then they deserve to be roundly criticised but certainly most...

What happened with Korea? I've missed that story.

I'll criticise when there's something to criticise, be sure of that.

I can safely predict now that you won't ever give Rosell his dues, you will be sitting there giving Laporta all the credit for any success that befalls the club during Rosell's tenure. I criticise you and people of the same ilk because you have zero objectivity and your minds have been made up...
