Well, i'm not right very often, but....

I hope we will sell a lot of T-shirt (and get a lot of our share in Beckham advertisements earnings) or, after Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo and Beckham we're going to be poor again

BTW, Have you realized that Figo cost more than Zidane, Zidane more than Ronaldo and Ronaldo more than Beckham?

**reds4ever** · June 19, 2003, 19:09

yaro, who do you think will get dropped? Guti?

Zidane,Figo and Mackele (sp) are indispensible surely?

Guti's already dropping not-so-subtle hints about wanting to move to ManUtd. That won't happen, though.

They can't afford to sell Mackelelelelele - they need at least one defensive minded person in the squad.

So, who will united buy?

And is Kewell on his way to Arsenal?

**yaroslav** · June 19, 2003, 19:16

Guti doesn't like Beckham coming - that is clear. However, Guti is so useful for Real Madrid (he could play in such different places like Ronaldo's, Zidane's and even near Makelele), I hope he is not going. There are a lot of players I don't like too much and are not good enough for the Madrid, that dropping Guti will be so sad (I'm thinking in Flavio, Celades).

However, I also like Vicente Del Bosque, and it's not clear he is going to remain as coah of the team :'(

Apparently Barca are after him now. At least, that's what the media here are saying... I'd take it with a pinch of salt if I were you.

I think Kewell will end up with Arsenal, although if Barca will DO want him then that would be tempting for him. He'd be crazy to stay in Leeds.

It will interesting to see what barca can do next year (both what they can buy and where they will end up in the league.) It's not that easy to qualify for the CL in Spain, and not being able to attract top players might well them for a couple of seasons.
Barca has never been known for being able to build up a teeam with less known players. (as for example Valencia does or has done).

Sure, that makes sense.

Afterall, these guys are better than Becks.

That's because they've never had to try before.
