A big welcome to Martín Cáceres, unveiled today, who has too many accents in his name for easy typing on an American keyboard. But he sure is Uruguayan and he sure is a defender, which is nice to see. Central D was our big failing last year, in my estimation, because of the lack of [...]

Seydou Keita: Official Presentation
By: Isaiah | 7 Comments
Seydou Keita was officially presented to the press today. The FCB official has all the pics, of course. While he doesn’t have a number yet, neither his international number (12) nor his old Sevilla number (21) are currently in use at Barça. Maybe he likes a different one, though…
Regardless, welcome to the club, Keita! May [...]

Josep Guardiola: officially official
By: Isaiah | 131 Comments
Pep Guardiola was officially presented as the new manager of the first team today, closing one chapter (that of Frank Rijkaard) and opening another. It’s good to have Guardiola actually be part of the team so that we can focus all of our energy on other things.
In his post-presentation press conference, Guardiola made a couple [...]

With a 1-0 victory at the Miniestadi against Barbastro on Sunday, Barça B achieved promotion to the Segunda B. Hopefully this is the beginning of a revival that pushes the them all the way to the Segunda A, but they’ll have to do it without Pep Guardiola, who will be presented as the new first [...]

By: Isaiah | 75 Comments
Well, it’s belated adios time for Giovani Alex Dos Santos Ramírez. The 18-year old has joined Tottenham for approximately 6million euros, which could rise to 11million euros depending on appearances and performance. It was fun to have Gio in our side and, frankly, I’m sad to see him go. I can’t blame him for his [...]
Welcoming Martín Cáceres
By: Isaiah | 58 Comments
We have a new South American central defender who is known for his tenacity and crazy ass hair. And no, this isn’t a flashback to last year. I’m talking about Uruguayan international Martín Cáceres, who has joined from Villarreal (though you’ll remember him from Recreativo Huelva last year, where he was out on loan) in [...]

Gianluca Zambrotta has joined AC Milan (the Italian Evil [...]
