Saying that though, they never really need a Plan B.

I guess it was a good deal in terms of Eto's resale value will be minimal the older he gets and that Ibra is younger player who could still improve, plus its not like he is some scrub, he does have ability, on the other hand you might say that at current Eto'o would be more potent for Barca than what Ibra is/can be, i know he scored last night but scoring against our defence/GK is no great shakes when your CB is a midfielder.Originally posted by TRAV1S View PostComment

My bad this is from 2009
Liverpool star Fernando Torres has shocked fans by announcing his intention to leave the club during their title chase with Man Utd.
The Spanish striker has wanderlust on his mind and wants to play on the continent next with Italy or Germany top of his list after a 'few more years' at Anfield.
Torres, 25, also plans to return to his beloved Athletico Madrid before quitting the game.
He said: "In a few years time I would like to play in Italy's Serie A.
"I would then have played in the three biggest leagues in European football - Spain, England and Italy.
"I might even be tempted by a move to Germany - who knows what the future holds.
"Bayern Munich would be an interesting team to play for. But playing in Germany is a long way off, that's if it ever happens at all.
"Football changes overnight, and although I am not going to actively look for a change, I wouldn’t mind playing in Italy and Germany before returning to Spain, to play for Atletico Madrid of course."
Torres has also set himself a benchmark of joining the Spain 100 caps club, an objective he looks certain to complete having already played 60 games.
He added: " I'm desperate to get to three figures for my country. I hope to be able to reach that milestone.
"I'm a very proud Spaniard and it would mean an awful lot to me.
"Hopefully there will be plenty more to come. I'm aiming to remain injury-free so that I can take part in as many games as possible."
The news will be devastating to Liverpool fans who have taken Torres as one of their own along with Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher.
A club insider said: "Torres is an integral part of this club and we want him to stay here until the day he retires from the game.
"He'll find it very hard to leave this club because of how much the fans think of him.
"Carragher in defence, Gerrard in midfield and Torres up front - they have become the backbone of Liverpool."Comment

I think they sold him more because Eto'o was increasingly getting more difficult to manage (he would get moody and refuse to play etc.) and they realised they had got the best out of him so it was time to replace him. Probably a smart move a few years down the line but going from Inter's team and style of play to Barca's is very hard because it's so different, i'd say he's adapted quite well actually, but he needs to up his European form because previous to last night he was wank.Comment

It wasnt just a swap thoOriginally posted by TRAV1S View Post
It was Eto'o and 35 mill!!!! Thats why it was a ridiculous transfer
I personally dont rate ibra that much....seeing him yesterday i can see why hes a great striker, good feet, hes a huge target man, worries defenses.....but still
Eto and 35mil!! They are both practically the same age, its not like ibra is 24 or something
Anyway, I still think united can win their game against bayern, although every fan other then united fans are telling me were gonna lose!
Lets hope Berba shows upComment

Fuck Berba.
