Barcelona....Best team in Europe?

[spursandbarca]

press in catalunya is saying that Barca have agreed terms with Ibrahimovic. The 2 clubs still trying to agree a fee(50 million euros). Mourinho has gone crazy and has threatened to resign. The player wants to move obviously. Eto'o is not part of any deal. Eto'os agent again stated today that he is going nowhere

 

[spursandbarca]

Laporta has denied the meeting was over any player sales

 

[spursandbarca]

the mistakes that barca made in 05-06 were they didnt freshen the side and they kept players like ronaldinho and deco 1 season too long. I think they are aware of that now and they see Perez going crazy as well. They have a chance to dominate spanish and european football for 3/4 years if the right signings are made.

if perez buys ronaldo and kaka where are they going to play??? both player best position is in a free role.

We(inter) will sell Ibra just for 80 millions or at lest 50 millions plus eto'o

 

[spursandbarca]

eto'o is a better player. laporta and txiki arent stupid like they will pay 30 mil plus eto'o. i doubt eto'o wants to play in serie a anyway

 

[spartiata]

Eto'o is not a better player, Ibra is a Player that can change the games without a team, eto'o must have behind messi ad henry. We pay our players more than barca, i think that eto'o would be happy to have 10 millions in his poket

sorry was 50 millions plus eto'o(his contract will expire in 2010!)

 

[spartiata]

Do you know how much Ibra earns? 24 millions! He is the player that earns the most in the earth, that means that we think that he is the best player so we will sell him just for a 80 million bid, we don't whant to sell him, is him that whants to go away! sorry about my orrible english

Mino Raiola, el mánager de Zlatan Ibrahimovic, fue muy sincero con MD, al referirse a su pupilo: "'Ibra' está loco por ir al Barça, pero estoy convencido de que el Inter no le va a dejar marchar si no pagan por él mucho dinero. Soy optimista, pero, antes que nada, realista, por eso veo algo difícil el fichaje. Por contra, le puedo asegurar que Zlatan está tremendamente ilusionado ante un proyecto deportivo ilusionante y una oferta económica importante".
Mino Raiola, que también lleva a Maxwell y a Nedved entre otros varios jugadores, tiene claro que "es lógico que Moratti pida ese dineral por 'Ibra'. ¿Qué le costaría al Barça Cristiano Ronaldo? ¿Qué ha pagado el Madrid por Kaká? Pues Zlatan Ibrahimovic debe tener esa misma cotización o más, sencillamente porque es mejor que ellos".
Raiola insiste en un detalle importante:"Todo el mundo habla de los 25 goles que Zlatan ha marcado con el Inter en la Serie A, pero hay un dato que para mi tiene el mismo valor o más y son las 23 asistencias, los 23 pases de gol, que ha dado a sus compañeros".
Mino no tiene el mayor reparo en reconocer que "me consta que la cena entre Laporta y Moratti no fue el primer contacto entre Barça e Inter. Hace tiempo que vienen negociando, aunque a mí eso no me compete. Yo sólo puedo repetir que primero deben ponerse de acuerdo los dos clubs. Nosotros y el Barça lo arreglaremos rápido, no hay problemas". Raiola también dejó claro que "a mi no me ha llamado ni Florentino Pérez ni Zidane. Y si no hablan conmigo no se puede hablar de oferta a Ibrahimovic".
Millones de diferencia
La diferencia entre Barça e Inter es de unos 15 millones. Laporta habría ofrecido 25 millones de euros y Eto'o. Moratti pidió 40 y a Samuel. A Maxwell el Barça no le quiere. El Inter desea aprovechar que Eto'o acaba contrato en un año, mientras que el Barça hace valer su trayectoria y los 36 goles marcados por el camerunés.
El Barça sabe que Ibrahimovic desea mejorar su imagen fichando por el Barça y, sobre todo, aspira a cumplir su vieja aspiración de lograr la Champions League. Lograr ese título que ha ganado este año el Barça es una obsesión para el sueco, un futbolista que le encanta a Guardiola y a Begiristain. Con todo, el Barça no va a tirar la casa por la ventana por fichar a 'Ibra' y ha dejado claro que hay un límite salarial que encabeza Leo Messi y que no van a romper. Pero eso no es problema para Zlatan que se ve beneficiado por el tema fiscal en España y está dispuesto a rebajar su ficha. El gran problema es y será la cotización de Eto'o y que Samuel esté dispuesto a irse al Inter. No será fácil. Al menos, este año el Barça no dirá que no lo quiere, como sí hizo el verano pasado. Si al final tiene que quedarse, no pasa nada

Surely Beckham earns more?

No!

 

[InOffMeLeftShin]

Surely Beckham earns more?

Not in base wage I don't think. Beckhams' reported $252 contract is mostly commercial endorsments, image rights, percentage of merchandise sales etc. Also I think he has a clause to buy the club.

Purely in terms of base wage I'm fairly sure Ibra has the highest.

Cool. Cheers. :up:

If they get Ibra and keep Eto'o then that will leave them with more great attacking options. Bojan will be loaned out and i'm sure Gudjohnsen will be sold. So i'm not surprised they're looking for another striker. And why not get a world class one like Ibra?

Henry, Ibra, Eto'o, Messi > Berbatov, Tevez, Ronaldo, Rooney

Exciting times.

That article is saying that Ibra is crazy about moving to Barca. He wants to go there because he feels it will raise his profile and will help him achieve his dream of winning the champions league. Laporta and Moratti have met a few times, also last year to discuss it, but at the time Barca decided not to go for it. This time Laporta is offering 25m euros plus Eto'o for Ibra, but Moratti wants 40m euros plus Eto'o. Also Ibra is not worried about having to take a pay cut to play there because he believes in the clubs plans.

Something along those lines anyway. So basically it isn't saying anything about Ibra as an extra option, it is Ibra to replace Eto'o. Of course it is from the agent.

It had to happen.
Zizou has said Madrid are interested in Ibra- this makes things interesting.

 

[nferno]

Real Madrid?

no.

 

[InOffMeLeftShin]

no.

This Barca side has had one good season, they need to win a hell of a lot more to be considered the best side in the history of football. Real Madrid won 5 consecutive European titles in the 1950's (consider no team has won it back to back in 20 years) and won 8 of 9 titles in the 1960's. You can kind of see my point surely.

I'm not saying Real Madrid are a better team than Barcelona now, that would be daft. Just that the best team in the history of football probably isn't this Barca team.
