"Am I going to be the Ronaldo of Barcelona? No, I just want to be Alexis Sanchez of Barcelona, ". I am proud to play in the best club in the world. "
"Now I have to show my worth. Barcelona are a great team and want to win everything. I am very happy and now I have to prove the ability I have shown so far. "
Nice and honest words from a kid I'm starting to gradually like more and more. I'd hate to see him stating "I want to be Barça's Ronaldo" for example. So far I'm content with the deal, even pleased. Rumours said we might pay up to €50m for him, and I would have thought that was a major scam if it went through. But for the deal we now have, this is a good one. Especially considering he clearly did not want to join any of the huge clubs interested in him but our Barça, because he's so young still and because he's possibly going to be a fantastic and useful player
Ronaldo will finish second in my opinion, his 40-goal haul, aside from the Copa Del Ray final, he has not risen to the occasion well, as opposed to Messi,
I suspect Xavi has been 100% honest and right with his quotes. I genuinely believe Cesc loves Arsenal and doesn't want to disappoint its fans, but I'm equally certain he is fed up with being the only truly world class player there (sorry Vermaelen & RVP ) who has to carry the team time and again and gets victimised every time he doesn't play fantastic (remember Barcelona-Arsenal?).
Therefore, I'm convinced he's done a similar thing as Alexis Sánchez and asked Arsenal to let him go to Barcelona some time soon, but in a way beneficial for both teams, just like Thierry Henry did. Because of (what I believe is) his desire to leave, his price won't go up a lot. I estimate that if we reach an agreement, it'll be settled for about £35m max
The fact that he has not written a transfer request is somehow unbelievable, he had about a year ago, quite clear he holds Wenger in high regard, a does not want to spoil his relationship with him and Arsenal, but at this rate, he should
He will be presented on Monday and we just signed him. He can't play the next day, and plus he had Copa so he's not gonna' be in action until our other Copa America participants are back
"Comparing Argentina and Barcelona is a mistake, " Messi said at a press. "We have been working together for a long time at Barcelona, whereas with the national team we are trying to do something similar. However, you cannot compare these two teams. "
The pitch is more like a green slushy than grass.... Sigh. I can't watch anymore

Well you could give donation so they could grow nice english gras there, instead of complaining. Why did you look anyway? Not all teams have so much money they can use for pitch...

Squad named for Hajduk: A total of twelve players travel for the friendly in Split. All of these have been training under Josep Guardiola with the first team for the last few days
Definitely cool, but its rotoscoped not really "animated" in the traditional sense. Really creative though
