It's Stoke - the heavy machinery needs to be out as far as I'm concerned. Cech Ivan, Alex, JT, Cole Mikel/Ramires Benayoun, Lampard Anelka, Drogba, Malouda

Let's face it - from Espanyol to Barcelona, he's probably never left the city on a long term basis. Add in the fact that the Barca team is as good as it gets in football at the moment. Why wouldn't he like to play for them if they come for him two years down the line? Additionally, he hasn't disrespected CFC in any manner, in fact complimented the quality of players and coaching staff at the club and said that they are on a similar pedestal to Barcelona.

@Gaffney : Don't be daft. You know exactly how big clubs work. Celtic is a relatively big club as well and have on numerous occasions in the past poached exploited legal loopholes to land youngsters.
That horrible Inter tie. Ugh. Bad nights, those. On topic : Ryan has more than proved his mettle at the various clubs he's been loaned to. Can't imagine it would be anything other than disheartening for him if he's shipped out again. Be nice to hear AvB's words on the matter, though.
