After this disastrous season, focusing on International competitions is a welcome relief. I don't even think I'll watch the last two game, call it a boycott! Instead I'll be looking forward to seeing Messi, Tevez, Kun, Riquelme, and all the others! Isaiah, I’m headed for San Diego and the Argentina v Mexico friendly.

But you right Kxevin, it gives us something to banter about. It has to be Goal.com spreading rumors, cause Pep would be plum loco to announce something like “No Yaya” this early on.

None of the players are going to be there working out as they'll all be at Euro2008 or playing friendlies and World Cup qualifiers. I know I'm going to see Argentina-USA at the Meadowlands on June 8, so Messi won't be around after the season. I wouldn’t imagine starting before June 30 would do any good.

June 30th??? Why not after the last game? Give him some extra time to gel with the players. Right on, Kxevin. Pep would have to have lost his mind to sell Yaya. They play in the same position, so surely he must see that there is exceptional quality there. Unless he has some sort of direct decendent of christ that he plans on starting instead, but I thought that was Yaya. Who do we think Pep wants? Can’t wait for Pep. June 30th???

Guardiola isn't crazy. Yaya is going to be the best holding mid in the world someday. Hell, he's right up there now. Eto'o isn't on the exit list, eh? Wonder if that's because his beef was with Rijkaard? But as ballbeav says, believe the news when it comes from a creditable source, but by itself, Goal.com is good for giving us something to banter about. Zambrotta is gone. No question. The Ronaldinho question gets more and more interesting. There have been reports of this "mystery injury" that might force him to retire early. No word on what it is, but those same rumors say that AC Milan really IS out of the running, because of those medical reports. But again, until the summer transfer season starts and the shoes start dropping, who knows? Right on the Yaya tip. Guardiola isn’t crazy.

Here's the list: Gudjohnsen, Ronaldinho, Pinto, Henry, Edmílson, Giovani, Ezquerro, Thuram, Oleguer, Touré and Jorquera. The two biggest surprises are that Zambrotta isn't on the list and that Yaya is. Zambrotta has stated his desire to leave the club. But what the hell! No Yaya!
