Anyway, we should leave this endless and pointless discussion. I don't want you to hate me.

Something lost in translation I think.

EDIT: But yes of course we can drop it.

We don't want him at Inter either, believe me, but the thing is I don't really see any other Italian team spending money on a player like that right now. There is always possibility that Juve make a move for him, as they are overdue for a Del Piero replacement. As for Spain, I cannot see him going anywhere but Barcelona or Real Madrid. I doubt he would be a starter at Barcelona, thus making Real the only logical choice for him, assuming that Mourinho wants him in the starting lineup.

You know what would be cool?
If he [Tevez] could join the Red Bulls
No, seriously. Tevez has many options, as he is a world class player, I don't think Real would be the best option for him though. I think he should go for Inter Milan, Rafa is a shitty manager, but of course he blames it on his players as always. So, he'll probably spend big bucks in the transfer market (he actually said he would) and I think the perfect remedy could be a consistent striker up front with Eto'o. They also need better defenders.

Arteta's suspension is now technically done!!!
They better play him

He should stay in Manchester, it's a good place for him. The team is not enough solid but it has future. So don't get me wrong, I'll be fine if he stays with the City. It just that he's always saying he'll come back to Boca Juniors someday (God knows how we need him), so I thought we had a chance with the things he said about wanting to leave the City, but I guess I'm dreaming. Anyway we have no money, we're paying big stuff to keep Riquelme with us.

intriguing.

at the Inter match i saw here, the fans loudly (really loudly) booed mr benitez. i was very surprised by that.

will he be gone? is he gone? is he on hols?
buy 4 or 5 players or i'm gone?

Typical Benitez, it's the owner's fault of course.

I really hope he stays, for Roma's sake. Plus Inter is now leaked with Spalletti our old if coach whom I miss dearly.

58 goals in 53 games for Lionel Messi in 2010, the highest ever for a major European league.

Yeah, he has scored a lot lately. What an amazing all around player. Too bad he is still hated in Argentina...

I want to see him play in another league.

Yeah, it would be interesting, though I really don't think he'd have much trouble. I think even if he stayed at Barca all his life, some serious succeses at international level would be enough to propel him right into the top 20 somewhere.


Thoughts on Cassano in, Dinho out at Milan, Pink?

I know that Messi would not have much trouble, he is after all the best player in the world. However, there really is no other team in the world where he would enjoy so much service and lack of defensive duty. I’d like to see how he fairs under worse circumstances.

As for the dinho/cassano question, the latter has to be one of the biggest wastes of talent in football history. What makes matters worse for him is that he has had so many chances to redeem himself and restart his career its pathetic. Sampdoria should have been that place for him and his antics got him frozen out of the squad. His move to Milan seems strange to me because they already have Ibra, Pato and Robinho. But then again Pato is always injured and Inzaghi done after this season. What Milan really need before they become class again are new fullbacks, a new center back and one more midfielder. Ronaldinho can only compete against slow teams, I’m not at all surprised that he was given the axe. I don’t see Ibrahimovic and Cassano getting along in the dressing room. We’ll see.

You say lack of defensive duty in regards to Messi, but a big feature in Barcelona's play since Guardiola took over is the way they press right from the front, and Messi is a big part of that. I'm sure he gives away more fouls than the Barca defence.
