I think that he sees Spain as a dream move. His agent makes noises about it every so often. I think that it's a case of when, not if. Real is a more likely destination than Barca for him though. Hope he does go as he's damn good and I don't like Utd having good players.Malhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185480711484722452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112228.post-3917779180469679972007-02-01T02:05:00.000+13:002007-02-01T02:05:00.000+13:00I would personally make my way down to Barcelona a...I would personally make my way down to Barcelona and shout in our board's collective faces if they sold Xavi when the player himself <br />didn't want to leave.<br /><br />I think Barca aren't crazy enough to sell a one-club, youth team product like him, who is so important to the squad as a whole. <br /><br />Besides that, the whole Ronaldo thing is in my opinion completely ridiculous. Sure, he's brilliant, but unless Ronaldinho or Messi are going somewhere soon (and I'd have to smack people if they were) there's nowhere for him to play.<br /><br />The only option I can see is for him to compete with Messi for a starting spot. This wouldn't work as Messi is a home-grown youngster who is enormously popular and probably no less talented than Ronaldo. Why squeeze out the home-grown player for someone who would have no attachment to the club?<br /><br />(And besides that, it's arrogant of Barca and Real to persume that Man Utd would sell, or that Ronaldo would want to leave them when he's doing so well there and in contention for big titles.)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09807392842004716065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112228.post-25032276847869730372007-02-01T01:47:00.000+13:002007-02-01T01:47:00.000+13:00What do you make of this?
