Maybe it has something to do with Wizards. The real loss for Barcelona is that they sold Thiago last year which cost them. They wouldn't need Rakitic now if they kept Thiago.

There's some buzz that if Barca will take Higuian Napoli will use a chunk of that money to go after Balotelli.

There's definitely the thought that Milan will sell him for the right amount for funds to fill other needs.

Monaco seems the most willing so far to pay a premium but I wonder how interested Balotelli would be in going there. Arsenal certainly could pay a price Milan would consider as could Napoli if they sell Higuain.

Nothing against Arsenal but Mario in Naples with Rafa seems too entertaining to be true.

that would be intriguing though it seems premised on the seemingly insane idea that barça would shell out cash for higuain.

I wouldn't know how to feel if we got him. so talented, but I can't even trust that AW could get him to stay in line.

No doubt in my mind that balotelli would give wenger bare bottomed spankings if he was subbed off.

I say go for it

Yeah, I thought maybe something new had transpired and TN Bhoy had the inside on it.

In what I was reading a couple of weeks back about Morata it seems that Juve and Inter really balked at any kind of buy back clause.

Morata can play wide in a 4-3-3? Didn't really see any time I watched Real this year.

I was just wondering exactly why Juve would want to pay very much for Morata. They just let Immobile go (although they would have had to pay out Torino around €12-15m for his complete card) due to having such a glut at CF for a proposed 4-3-3 and Immobile totally balking at the idea of such limited minutes.


I guess perhaps they think Morata is more comfortable being a backup than Immobile.

Supposedly they are also looking at free, 1 year deal guys like Drogba and Eto'o as depth as well.

Conte must think he can something special with Morata, and Morata and his people must think the same.

He must have promised him minutes or fair shot at same, otherwise, why would he leave being a backup at Real Madrid to be one at Juve. Makes absolutely no sense.

don't want (and don't particularly believe the report). the story was released at HT of the match yesterday evening so it smells of BS. also, there's a reason he is a 28yo goalkeeper toiling at the bottom of ligue 1. he had a great performance. he's not a great GK.
