Abidal became an official member of FC Barcelona after completing his medical and being presented as #22. And he looks badass in that picture.
Abidal is official; Barcelona heart spending $…er €
By: Isaiah | 5 Comments
The word is out that the Abidal transfer is legit, so that’s good news. Barcelona have agreed to a 14million euro ($18.8million, or like 3, maybe 4 British pounds) transfer fee and will reportedly pay Abidal 2million euros ($2.6million) a year. I’ve also seen a fee of 15m euros, but more often I’ve seen 14m. [...]
Oh for the love of God, don’t buy Lampard
By: Isaiah | 6 Comments
According to the newspaper, El Pais, Barcelona are in discussions with Chelsea about prying Frank Lampard from them. £15million is the price El Pais quotes, or an exchange for Deco (who they might sell to InterMilan in order to finance the deal). What!? This better be some kind of freaking joke. I don’t want Lampard [...]
Fabio Capello fired, Bent is better than Thierry
By: Isaiah | 1 Comment
The big news coming from the Spanish capital today is that Fabio Capello, who just led Real Madrid to the title, has been dismissed. This is wonderful news for everyone in La Liga and, I believe, opens the door to either Sevilla or Valencia winning the title next year. Hear me out now. I’m a [...]
Abidal signs with Barcelona
By: Isaiah | 3 Comments
This may be a bit premature to announce as a certified fact, but according to 3 Spanish press sources (Marca, Sport, and most notably El Pais) an agreement has been reached and signed between Olympique Lyonnais and Barcelona over the transfer of left back Eric Abidal. While the Lyon fans might be a bit unhappy [...]

By: Isaiah | 6 Comments
Ludovic Giuly’s agent, Alain Miglaccio, has stated that he believes Barcelona are doing Giuly a disservice by rating him at 5million euros. The full quote was supplied by Sport:
Giuly costó siete millones de euros hace tres años, ha dado un buen rendimiento, se ha portado muy bien, ha ganado dos Ligas y una Champions y [...]
Goodbye Gio

Giovanni van Bronckhorst has been released by Barcelona to return to his former club, Feyenoord, who he played for in the mid 90s. He started 20 matches in La Liga this year for Barcelona and, according to Wikipedia, made 141 appearances overall for the club. It’s been good having you, Gio, and may you do [...]
Toure is officially presented
By: Isaiah | 6 Comments
Yaya Toure has been officially presented as a Barcelona player. He will wear the number 17 according to the club’s official webpage. [Update: Toure's deal is a 4 year deal] It’s a relief that we have another defensively-minded player on the books, really. Hopefully we continue this trend a little and get Cristian Chivu (regardless [...]
Henry is officially presented
By: Isaiah | 6 Comments
Thierry Henry has passed his medical and been officially presented as the number 14 for FCB. Since he’s an official member of the club, I can stop my moaning about how I didn’t want this to happen and start looking for how he’ll improve our squad.
During the coming season, there will never be a moment [...]

By: Isaiah | 11 Comments
So I made a mistake (gasp, I know). I previously erroneously posted about the new Barcelona kit which had been published by Barcelona-based newspaper, El Mundo Deportivo in their online edition and for ever trusting a tabloid like that in the slightest, I apologize. I am humbled. Here, having already been linked in the comments [...]
