Oh well, my bad. I mean the seasons before that. His injury was also given as an explanation by AW for us not to winning a trophy. Too much expectation from him but none of his expectations are met.

what difference does it make? its been in the air for almost two years now and footballers so regularly whore themselves out, they are used to hearing colleagues want to leave as at some point they will be in the same situation no doubt.
telling xavi and co to shut up would make little difference, why would they care about distabilising the club?
what I would dearly love to happen is for man city to start stamping on some necks. put in £250m bid for messi, 300k wages and sit back. our first reaction would be that he wouldn't want to come, which is probably true. but can anyone say that barca wouldn't want to consider that sort of money right now? do the same for Madrid and ronaldo. these dicks have run the game like this for years and i would LOVE to see someone slap them up in the same way
I want both of them gone as soon as possible. No point keeping fair-weather, clearly uncommited divas/players.
Obviously prefer them both to go overseas, because even shit/pointless ex-players like Thomas, Bentley and Aliadiere always score against us.
Aliadiere scoring against us :banghead: :doh: :ilt:.
The thing is I cannot see how these guys can spend the amount of money they do because they have no hope of recouping it, so either they don't care about money (which i very much doubt) or they must be laundering money through the club...
I was going to make this a separate thread but here is best:
Barca 'offer to sign Neymar in January'
Barcelona have made an offer to sign Neymar after the Club World Cup, ESPNsoccernet understands.
Real Madrid have, as has been established, already agreed to meet the €45 million buy-out clause for the player and are keen to complete a deal this summer, but there have been indications from Santos that the player wants to stay on until after December's Club World Cup tournament in Japan.
Barca have therefore said that they will wait until January before signing the Brazil international in a bid to beat Madrid to the deal.
A source close to the transfer told ESPNsoccernet:"Real Madrid have a deal in place, but Barcelona are trying to stop it going through this summer, and have put forward their own deal.
"Both clubs have agreed to meet the buy-out clause of €45 million, and while Real will go through with the transfer, there is a suspicion that Barcelona don't have that kind of ready funds and are just trying to stall the move to Real.
It had been widely reported in Brazil that Chelsea were among the clubs to have agreed to meet Neymar's release clause, but it appears that is not the case.
"They have said they won't pay," the source added. "They will not spend that kind of money on a teenager who has not been tried in the Premier League."
Neymar's father has publicly declared that Neymar wants to compete in the Club World Cup with Santos in December, which makes the Barca deal attractive, but a move to Madrid still appears the more likely.

Let me see, an unproven 19-year-old from Brasil (who played crap for Brasil last week) is worth €45 million but a proven club captain with PL, CL, European Championship and World Cup experience is only worth only €35 million. How many times does this have to happen before Fabregas realises that Barca are just "not that into him"? :)
But Nemar has not said he only wants to go barca, neither barca players beeing banging on about him to come. too diffrent situations tbh. Barca believe that fab should be theres because of "how we took him" they don't see that with Neymar.
End of the day if we accpet an offer of 50million from madrid see how quickly barca will raise their offer.
