I'm not sure what Ibrahimovich would bring to Barca, i don't watch much Itallian football but from what i've seen in the past he just looks slow and lazy which is totally opposite to the way Barca play.

Reports have suggested that Inter are willing to accept €40million (£34.6million) plus Eto'o and the season-long loan signing of Hleb in order to let Ibrahimovic move to Spain

Now if your Inter Milan and you were offered that you bite there arm of instantly IMO, I have never rated Ibrahimovic personally and like you said he looks very lazy ala Berbatov...

Given Ibrahimovic's style of play it does seem a bit of an odd once from Barca's point of view, but going on reputation it wouldn't be a surprise to see Eto'o put a spanner in it anyway.

Despite their current team the Barcelona press have been getting a bit twitchy about Madrid's spending so you wonder how much this is in response to that, it may also be a way of giving Valencia's bankers a nudge in forcing through a deal for Villa instead.

Owen scoring on debut, a few more goals and he can get a Liverpool stylee "Most goals in pre-season trophy"...result.

You'd think that, if shirt sponsorship is selling oneself for "50 pieces of silver", United fans would not be taking the pîss out of other clubs for their sponsorship. Unless they're a bunch of hypocrites, that is, with their reliance on foreign finance companies.

You are correct about Utd however with city being the 'real manchester club' I'm surprised they have sold out so quickly in regards to far east sponsorship. With your new found riches you could've easily had a local Manchester company on your shirt for next to nothing. Instead you are doing everything you have slated Utd for during the last 20 years whilst still hilariously clinging to the 'real manchester club' motto.

He took his goal well too and looked pretty sharp in the 15 minutes he was on the pitch.
Nani started brightly but faded away after halftime
Berba came into the game after Rooney went off
Tosic looks like he's bulked up a little
Anderson got through plenty of work

Not a bad run out for the lads and i'm looking forward to seeing Carick,Hargreaves and Valencia coming into the side

Tbf Superbowl Scott has been a Chelsea fan since he was a little kid, and Hollywood Frazier has never been a Chelsea fan I don't think.

If Barca are signing Ibrah, surely they won't be trying to sign Villa too?

I would still like to think Madrid will sign another striker, and Villa would be absoloutely perfect.

Huntelaar & Negredo on there way out, possibly RVN too.

That would leave Raul, Higuain and Benzema. Hopefully Higuain won't be pushed out of the side this season, as he was quality last season for Real.

Haven't heard any rumours at all, but I can't see M. Diarra playing much next season with Lassana Diarra and other such players as Ruben De La Red and Gago in the team. Hopefully he will move on.

VDV I would imagine will be on his way out too, although I would like them to keep Sneijder. Another world class centre back is a must though and a left back would be good too!
