fun fact Domenech's wife made it deep in last year's world series of poker main event but lost a lot of chips when the dealer accidentally mucked her cards when she was facing an all-in. She supposedly had AA lol.

With all this talk about Fabs joining Barca, they picked up another pretty amazing player David Villa.

I can't imagine Barca next season they are going to be very strong in the front.

I dont think no other top european club is interested in Villa but if I have to guess for Villa its just the best option. Stays in his own country. Gets to one of the if not the best european club right now. I doubt he would go anywhere else. Even for a few millions more. I hardly think Barca was the only team showing interest

Fabregas is on the bench in the Spanish national team.

Now he wants to do the same in his club? Atm it's really stupid from Fabregas.

Well I'd like Fabregas to stay at Arsenal longer but it seems inevitable and besides the non-football related factors will definitely appeal to him

Also Barcelona will definitely be targeting several trophies which'll be 60+ games, so some midfielders would be rested and injuries too

I actually thought Fabregas, before this whole talking to Wenger and asking to leave thing, was going to stay in Arsenal since he's still contracted till 2014 and he said he didn't want to go this soon.

Selling Touré + Ibrahimovic + € for Fabregas is such a stupid deal for Barcelona (altough it can't really top the Etoo + money deal for Ibra).

For Arsenal it would probably be good. Touré is very good (very underrated), and we saw what happened to Inter when they sold Ibra and got 3 world players instead (Etoo Sneijder and Milito).

My guess is that Ibra stays in Barcelona one more season, hopefully to win the CL. After that, he probably leaves for England. My best guess.

There are some decent ones but Rio is pretty horrible at trolling unfortunately.

Laurent Blanc to replace Domenech after WC?

this almost makes me feel bad about Domenech but tbh he is one of the worst coaches i've seen >.< so i guess all frenchies just regret this happening so late. Kinda reminds me of the Scolari case with Portugal when he said he was leaving the team after the Euro and that started a whole lot of speculation during the last Euro in Portugal :S
