Has anyone who has graduated from la masia and left Barca gone on to play well elsewhere ? I just think of GDS and Bojan.


They go out, play well, then get bought back by Barca again. See: Fabregas, Pique, Alba, Reina next summer.

Lucas Ocampus from Monaco is going to be some player...I would put in a sneaky bid of £20M to see how it would go down.

Still I would love to see Honda in our shirt.
Yes it seems like AC Milan is the one he wants to play for, so much so that he reportedly rejected a call from Barca and willing to lower his salary from 2.5m euro to 1.8m euro per year to help AC Milan finance the move. With a few months left on Honda's contract, I saw reports that CSKA wants 5m euro, and back and forth back and forth for almost a month now that AC still won't cough up the money, as they seem to want to drag on until winter and get him for free.

He's 27, just coming to his prime and in great form so far this season (average 7.12 on whoscored the last five games) despite all the transfer talk and still play at a very high level. He won't be expensive, and can contribute right now (seeing how he play internationally that I'd like to believe that it won't take too long for him to adjust to our league). That buys us time to look for the next CAM to slot in, if he is not in the club already.

Of course it's highly unlikely, since there is not any link between Honda and us for a long long time. But he's got the scoring ability, eye for a pass, with so much grace yet always give his all...oh well.

He is a hell of a prospect but there's no chance Monaco would be likely to sell. We already have Lennon, Townsend and possibly Lamela for that position anyway so it's not really a priority but it is a good call.

He's already agreed a contract with AC, they're just trying to pull a Holtby and get him early.

I see john guidetti is rumoured to be available for 5.5 according to the papers. I'd be pretty keen on him, especially at that price. Wasted at man city and certainly needs new pastures.

I do admit, 5.5 mil is a snip,.... but would citeh sell within the PL to a competitive team?.... probably not :sorry:

I think Snarf's been banging the drum for this guy but not sure if he has been mentioned in this thread. Would make more sense to me than Hulk.

Kevin Volland having a nice start to the season: 3 goals in 4 games and almost as many assists..... no official stat on his assists...

I was wondering what people's thoughts on Jelle Vossen are. He has a record of 65 in 110 games over the last three seasons and looks to have good characteristics as a poacher.
