Don't understand why we just didnt loan him if its 2 mill in 2 years to go back to barca.

Weak sauce.

Because in 2 years he might not be have developed quite enough for Barcelona. Or they might've bought a replacement for him.

That makes no difference to the point that you made though.

- Surely here you're making the same assumption that I've jsut done?

AWESOMEUS MAXIMUS · 6th August 2008, 9:42am

Aye, before I checked the relevant links, whereas you quoted me saying we wont sign anyone, then tried to clown me by showing that we had signed someone...when we hadn't.
Was just making light of that fact you skipped over it, boss

I know fine well he'll sign, so calm yer knickers.

Crosas Aiming To Prove A Point At Celtic
Marc Crosas believes that he knew his time at Barcelona was coming to an end when the club made their summer signings and now aims to prove himself at Celtic.

The Catalan playmaker rose through the ranks at Camp Nou after joining the club at 13, but recognised that breaking into the first team was going to almost impossible this season.

Pep Guardiola told Crosas that he could stay and try and earn a place but that his chances would be very limited after he returned from a six-month loan spell with Olympique Lyonnais.

Now the 20-year-old is aiming to prove that his career will not suffer because he has left the Blaugrana and is relishing testing himself with the Bhoys.

"Football does not begin and end with Barça," he told Sport. "I have finished that chapter in my life now because I have known from the start that they would not count on me.

"In the world of football you have to be intelligent and see how many players they have signed and what a great squad they now have.

"I only regret not being able to show if I had the quality to succeed here or not.

"You always think about making it into the first team, but not everyone can do that and it is clear that things do not begin and end here.

"My aim now is to become the player I know I can be and then people will know if I could have succeeded at Barça."

Crosas had numerous offers but revealed that the work that Celtic put in to try and make him go to Parkhead is what swung his decision to join them.

"The great interest from Celtic persuaded me," he added.

Still nowt official yet..
Hmmm

Dave MacKay and James McPake to Fir Park. Both are at Livi the now.

I think the boy McPake was at Morton for a bit. Anyone shed any light? Being brought in as cover at Right Back and Centre Half.

Still waiting on Jim O'Brien going through (who I think would fit our system very well) and Mamam the wee midfielder is still on trial.

crazydiamond85 · 7th August 2008, 12:23pm

Ronaldo is staying, get it right up ye Real Madrid

Big Martin O'Neil is a sly bastard! He's snapping up two English fullbacks:

Quote:

Aston Villa will hold talks with England full-backs Nicky Shorey and Luke Young after agreeing fees with Reading and Middlesbrough respectively.

Brad Friedel, Luke Young, Martin Laursen, Curtis Davies, Nicky Shorey/Wilfred Bouma, Ashley Young, Steve Sidwell, Gareth Barry, Nigel Reo-Coker, John Carew, Gabriel Agbonlahor.

9 English players in their possible starting-XI, and not to mention how solid they look now. Good times to be a Villa fan, I'd think - they've gotta love MON if this team can work.
