For some reason that gif reminds me of that Thomas Gravesen video.
 

From the interview with Sid Lowe:

With Manchester United struggling, is this a unique opportunity for Arsenal to finally win the league?
Haha! With Manchester there is always talk about a dip … a dip, a dip, the end's coming, it's over … and they always end up right up there. You can't trust them. Ten years ago I arrived in England and for 10 years I've wondered, for 10 years people have said: "Look out, this year Manchester might collapse." But it never happens. That's one battle I gave up on long ago. Whenever anyone says to me: "Manchester won't be the same this year," I say: "No, no, no, Manchester will be up there for sure."

He's making your transfer dealers look like even bigger idiots with his latest statement.
 
You talk fondly of your time in England and this summer there was an opportunity to return. Were you tempted to go to Manchester United or would you only go back to play for Arsenal? I don't know. But I never planned to go back this summer. It's not something I was even thinking about. I was always clear in my mind that I want to succeed at Barcelona and I'd give everything to triumph here. I said openly: I haven't even thought about leaving, I'm not going. I heard about it when I was in Ibiza with friends. A friend read it in the paper and told me, then I read it …

Did you call the club and say: "Hey, what's going on?" No, no, no. When I heard, I contacted Darren [Dein, my agent] and he confirmed that it had come out officially. He said: "Yes, it's true." He said: "What do you want to do?" I didn't know anything about it [until then]. If a club comes in for you and you tell your representative that you want to go, then you go. I spoke to [Josep Maria] Bartomeu, the vice-president, and he told me: "You're not going anywhere; we have complete confidence in you." Then I spoke to the president. I was very relaxed about the whole thing because that's what they transmitted to me. It's true that they had offers, and they told me that, but the only thing in my head was staying at Barcelona.

How do you explain the fact that United seemed so convinced? That conviction must have come from somewhere. At no time did I say that I wanted to go and I stayed out of it. I was surprised. I didn't encourage them at all.

He used us, just like Ronaldo, to get what he wanted elsewhere.

Casillas did the same thing years ago, to get a bigger contract. If you are at one of the Spanish big two then leaving for a club like United is the only kind of "threat" you can make. Of course when you get what you wanted you declare that you'd never even considered leaving.
 
Seems to me he isn't denying he'd go to United but since Barca were saying no he was happy. If United had went to £40-45m and Barca said yes then I think that there would have been a different outcome as it was we offered £25-30ishm
 
As long as he was wanted at Barca he was never in a million years going anywhere. The fact that Moyes didn't have a plan B and pathetically kept trying to make useless bids for him did very little to endear himself to the fans.
 
Lets buy this guy please barcas new style doesn't suit him well at all.

Barca's new system? He hasn't suited their system from the off.

How ?
They seem to be springing diagonal balls these days that would pass right over his head, and going more direct.
Perhaps I've missed something but he's best receiving and launching attacks from which he can burst into attack.

:lol:
 
The new system suits him to a tee and its up to tata to sacrifice one of the midfield stalwarts to accommodate him. They are more direct now and that's the football he loves to play. He did after all play a lot of football in the prem which is alot different to the more patient brand of football that they were playing under pep and tito. That style simply magnified his weaknesses to much so he wasn't reaching his top level.
