The player has no obligation to go back though.

^That's LCM, in short.

They 'can' means Barca have the luxury of watching him here for 2 years and then deciding if he's worth the buyback amount in the contract. If they decide he is and if they activate the clause, we cannot say no, unless we have a Bojan type arrangement in place, which if we do, isn't public yet.

Blimey good thing I've had to stay off the forums last couple of days. The transfer section is INSANE!

Justin, please do educate us about the football in Panama. Answers on the back of a postcard ....

The most boring topic in the world. So much fucking over-analysis. Keep the faith, we have no other choice.

Brilliant Benayoun Buoys Blues, for the quadruple alliteration!

2 confirmed bids for Modric, close to signing Pastore (ignoring the signings of Etock, Romeu, Courtois) - not really biding our time are we? Unless you expected signings left, right and centre the moment the new boss walked in. Btw, it's unfair to target City's spending. For years and years even though they didn't compete for trophies they always kept churning out top quality youngsters and still have one of the best youth academies in the land. Now they've got money, so why not spend it?

Barcelona, Tottenham and Chelsea all mentioned. Hmm, let's see if we have an idea who wrote this .... ...et tu, Arsene?

Bienvenue!

They're making laughable attempts at setting off a bidding war.

Got to love a bit of Balotelli

Depressed. My girlfriend left for the US today and she won't be back for 2 years atleast. Higher studies. I miss her

Yeah read this last week ... great stuff. Especially like that chant 'Chelsea and Wolves are magic' or something along those lines anyway.

Alright thanks for clearing that up, glad you didn't mean it the way I thought you did. Welcome to the forums btw, stick around and keep posting.

Quality bit of play between Ortigoza-Valdez, deserved a goal.

@justin - If we're looking for goals from Mikel, we're in serious trouble.

Great finish as well.

So we should stop bothering about something called progress and development? Fail to understand why looking to fill an evident hole in the team should be comprehended as casting disloyal glances elsewhere. We've got Frank, people. No need for Modric/ Nasri/ Pastore.

Contract till 2015.

Suarez!

Good start to the match, hope Paraguay don't go into a shell.
