Stop misstating what I think and stop misstating what Ancelotti said. Ronaldinho was targeted by Milan and I think Ancelotti is happy to have him. We had Kaka who is suffering from excessive tackling and has knee problems. We needed to get an attacking midfielder as soon as possible to help reduce pressure.

Don't speak for me anymore. Don't try to put words in my damn mouth.

Where is the love? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

LOL okay here we go.


First of all if you want me to i can bring up all the articles where LAPORTA HAD STATED THAT ETO WAS NOT IN THE FUTURE PLANS OF BARCA. theres about 20 of them. Secondly they didnt' part with him because his price was 30+ and no one even made a realistic offer for him. I mean we signed ronnie for what 20 mil? But thats us and when were signing 10 players thats what we can afford, were not chelsea or madrid. thirdly alves is by far the best RB in the world i would dare you to list a better alternative. Look his statistics up he has had the most assists and goals for any rb in the game last year and furthermore was key member to sevilla. 30 million for him was rightly so because barca's right side now will be unstoppable. Robinho is a different issue and 45 million is too much but they almost paid that for sheva at 30 when he was half the player robinho is.

Yes here we go!

There are articles that said that but if Eto'o wasn't part of the plans, he would be in Chelsea or Arsenal by now. I'm sure a team in England could afford him even if he was 30 million. We signed many great players for less. We are not chelsea or madrid where we throw away money irresponsibly.

Alves is rubbish. He can't defend, and there are better players than him. And there is a difference between Italian and Spanish football. Italian football is the most defensive in the world. 30 million was a rip off in my eyes and always will be for an overrated player like Alves.

He's the best offensive RB in the world...I still think Messi and Alves on the right, is a tactical flaw that might backfire against a clever coach and a sharp team.

no the fact is that they could not afford him because his wage bills are near ronaldinhos and thats why no one signed him. alves rubbish hahahahahhahah (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I"m gonna stop now obviously you have no clue and are biased on the issue. Please do yourself a favor and watch 5 barca games and you will eat your words and wish that zambrotta was half that.

That's opinion.

I don't share that view.

not at all tahts why yaya toure is sitting there for cover. without a defensive mid it would be as you say 'flawed'

do you share facts?

I posted what I think. If you dont' want to accept that's fine. It'll be best to agree to disagree. He like anyone else can take wage cuts. And I'm sure an Premier League team could afford him.

I have no clue and am biased? Prove it. Prove I have no clue and am biased.

Alves is vastly overrated. Eat my words? And wish Zambrotta was half that? Zambrotta is a world class player and puts Alves in the ****ing dust.

Take your personal attacks out of here.

THAT IS NOT A FACT.

personal attacks? your saying the best RB in the world is trash and overrated. If galliani could he would have signed him over zambro any day of the week. And no eto stated that he will not take wage cuts thats why tottenham pulled out. Chelsea had other views and we could not afford him and mourinho didn't want him.

stats say otherwise freind.

He's not the best RB in the world. That's a personal opinion. Stop stating personal opinion as fact. I think he's overrated. I went too far saying he's trash. But he's not worth 30 million. Perhaps 10-15 million at most. No. I would have signed Zambrotta (one of my favorite players). Eto'o wouldn't take wage cuts... Tottenham? There were other teams in the running including Arsenal and Chelsea. We couldn't afford him? Milan pay large wages to its players by the way.

La Liga and Serie A are far different leagues. And stats? No.
