Barcelona are keen to reinforce their attack with Manchester City forward Robinho but if they do so they may have to lose Yaya Toure who the Premiership side are keen to bring in.
Toure was one of the unsung heroes of the Barca side last season and his importance should not be forgotten amid the praise given to Barca’s famed attacking players. While Messi, Iniesta and Xavi et al all lit up the stadium with their skills, Toure was also very effective either in his accustomed midfield role, protecting the defence or as a centre-half which he did impressively against Chelsea and Manchester United in the Champions League.
Reports also suggest that Puyol’s future is still not secure. Following news that the club is stalling on offering Rafael Marquez the terms that he wants, Puyol is still yet to sign a new deal to stay at the Nou Camp. He remains a talisman for the side but it appears that the board are looking to the future and especially see Gerard Pique as the way ahead.
Robinho and Toure in swap deal?
– October 12, 2009Posted in: Uncategorized
I don’t like Robinho at all – for me he remains a fuckin Madrilleno. And I like the way Touré strengthens the team. But sometimes Pep’s decicions are not understandable (eg the exchange Sammy vs Ibrahimovic). The fact that Puyol doesn’t has a new contract yet, worries me a little.
Toure brings some much needed steel to a team that, while technically, balletically brilliant, lacks a bit of physical punch at times. Trading him softens up the belly of the defense, and Bousquets has a ways to go before he’s ready for the spot. Not a good trade, I’d say.
Its not a bad idea but why the swap, The club have not fill the space sammy left behind going for another will be the worst please tell Pep to chasing away african players from the club
This coach wants to run down the by chasing away all the african players please some body should this fool before he kills the club, We went russia and could not score a goal if sammy had been would have giving us at list a goal
i am happy for the success ofthe club and i am fully sure that the success run of my club(barcelona) in the last season will continue forever and ever AMEN.The only thing i see about barcelona is that we are we are underating some of our player in which i know the development is a bad one for the club.swaping our players because of another players from another club will not encourage our player and it wont make them happy in the case that they will be thinking they will still fall a victim of barcelona swaping them for another players.barcelona fc board should know that all our player are worth more than a swaping deal and again it will make all barcelona player to be of low profile ,because any club that need a good players from barcelona will be comming for swaping deal.All i can say about the swaping deal development in barcelona is for the development of swaping barcelona player to stop,so that all barcelona player can be of high profile in the football market.if we want to sell player,let us sell player on a normal ground and good negociation of big money.I also want to use thsi medium to tell all barcelona board not to sell bojan to any club,bojan future is very bright in barcelona.he is our fulture player like xavi,puyol,iniesta and others,dont let us make the mistake on the selling of FIGO and fabrigas to another club,to get them back can be a hell.pls watch how you sell the home grone player of barcelona to other club and watch out how you market barcelona valuable player in the case of swaping deal.ETO does not worth the swaping deal for abramovic,we oppose to sell eto on a normal ground with the aid of big money buy out clause.walex4dworld@yahoo.com.i am a barca for life and till death.thank you.
