What are the main Barcelona newspapers chaps? I know there's Sport, but any others?


Mundo Deportivo is the other major one.

However there are also radio stations (real ones!) and TV shows that have very strong links into the club. If you see media like RAC, Cope, Sexta, or shows like Larguero or Punto Pelota being quoted they might actually be talking to Barca ITKs.

The difficulty in this story is that I really do think this is all about what Thiago decides and the only people he's really talking to appear to be close family and his agents. He doesn't appear to have a massive entourage planting stories - just his dad who planted the initial release clause figure a couple of months back so everyone knew the score.
 
This damn better happen! Arrgh... I hate getting sucked into anticipation.
I don't think anything will be announced today. Maybe tomorrow or wednesday. He has yet to report back to Barcelona according to reports in Spain.
 
So we still need for Thiago to get back, talk to Barcelona, agree terms with us, then we need to agree terms with Barcelona, and finally he comes to United a medical.

That's at least 5 more dead muppets.
 
I'm so surprised at how well sport witness seem to be, I was on their forum from when they created and never expected them to do this well, their forum fell flat on it's arse but good to see that they're doing well.
 
jojojo, I don't know how good your Spanish is or are you a natural Spanish speaker, but could you shed some light on this comment from a piece in mundo deportivo?

Something about a parrot getting torn. Doesn't make sense to me.

when we express that is taking excessive around a theme
Also when an attitude remains stubbornly or repeatedly insists the same.
The lathe is a simple machine which consists of a cylinder arranged to rotate about its axis by the action of levers or wheels. It is used for spinning, winding silk or elaborate pottery pots.
This machine turns, turns and turns and is always in the same place. And it is this feature that follows the figurative sense of the term. And so he says-for-the behavior afearle that unconsciously or stubborn spins any question no sign of solution so annoying for the one to suffer.
The Perico-hipocorístico Peter-is because it is a name that once represented the single individual. One can go round and round without realizing that is in the same place.
Expression is similar to give you stick, and back again or always the same song.

spanish (spain) slang to refer something has been talked about too much and keep going...

ps. in this case, thiago soap opera... even they understand its deal done... stop talking about it.

I would hope there isn't much more negotiating left to do. This clause should have been the final nail in the coffin.

If you want a good insight into where the Barca fans mentality is at the moment you should have a read at the comments section on that article. It's a google translate copy and paste job so some of them don't translate too well due to the use of slang but it's very interesting.

Most of all I was surprised by how modest they are about were Barca are at the moment, how annoyed they are at Tito and the management, and how they seem to rate Thiago above Xavi.

yeah I see what they're saying.

Perro is dog, so it would naturally mean "Tearing the dog a new one with a dale banana."
 
I think charleysurf should not be allowed to celebrate this transfer, if it indeed does happen, for his supreme pessimism in this thread :smirk:

Y dale perico al torno

I guess it would translate as something like - going round in circles.
 
How long does he have to be exempt from the appreciation of Thiago as a (possible) United player? Whenever Thiago receives the ball, will he be forced to close his eyes, or least start berating him?
 
He'll probably still maintain Thiago hasn't joined us and this was twitter bollocks
 
what date will this saga be sorted one way or another?

I reckon August 3rd.

I reckon August 3rd.

If it isn't sorted bu the end of July, he'll stay there, cause the clause will be void.

I think that in this week we know if he's coming or not.
 
What if he's right? What then? Will you never get involved in a transfer saga again?

Well I think he's wrong. Regardless of whether Thiago joins us or not I don't think this was all just twitter bollocks and believe we are interested in signing him.

And I have not been overly involved in this saga aide from posting :lol: and :drool: frequently

Why the superiority complex though, because you believe a transfer will go through and someone else doesn't? Charleysurf is entitled to an opinion the same as everyone else.

I haven't thought we'd sign him at any point in this saga. I'll be happy if we do, but I just haven't been able to see it happen. I guess I shouldn't celebrate if he comes, and certainly shouldn't celebrate if he plays well or scores.

I have no idea whether it will go through or not. In fact right now I don't think this will happen.

But I don't see the point in being a pessimistic douche. If he doesn't think it's going to happen is there any point in repeating himself again and again?

Is there any point in people who do think it will go through repeating that belief again and again? Is there any point in any of this? Is there any point in any of us voicing an opinion about anything in here? It's all bollocks talked by people who know nothing about the workings of the club anyway.
 
This whole idea that only those who think this transfer will go through, and who believe every positive story should be the only ones to post in the thread is a bit stupid. Everyone is entitled to voice an opinion, both on the transfer and on the legitimacy of the various sources.

It's all gone a bit childish and petty.
