It is an attack of the green-eyed monster? Some pre-season mind games? Or is Barca coach Pep Guardiola just saying what’s on everybody’s mind?
In a recent Soccernet report, former (and current) Barcelona FC favourite Guardiola said in response to Eto’o and Ibrahimovic’s possible moves to and from Inter, that “each player has his own situation and today, apart from Madrid who have brought in everyone, the world is as it is because it costs a lot to sign players.”
Seems like Real aren’t the only ones though. Man City are probably the only other club who have gone and made multiple high profile signings this off-season. The current big-four English clubs have made nary a peep in comparision.
I guess the money driven merry-go-round is likely to continue, especially when it comes to players’ agents lining their own pockets. In remotely related news (it involves Barca too), Mascherano’s agent has come out to say that his client is keen on a move to Barca, despite the player not having said so in the media. Unless we hear it from the horse’s mouth (Masch does look a bit like a horse doesn’t he?), it’ll just be a lot of hot air from the agent looking to play both clubs (and Liverpool fans can rest easy…for now). Anyhow, Masch’s agent is not the first to do so, and certainly won’t be the last.
