You guys are not gonna believe this

I cant see that happening. There is no way that Barcelona would let Rivaldo walk out for free, to their main rivals. It would be crazy!!! <img src="graemlins/houllier.gif" border="0" alt="[Houllier]" />
 
Makes sense for both sides. They could get maximum cash from Real, and clear a Non EU spot for Riquelme. Real would probably benefit more since they would have arguable the 3 best footballers in the world on their team.
 
Real first of all don't need him, and second, couldn't really afford his wages!

Seriously!

That's the idea, him or the other one, Giovanni?

The thing that's started all this crap is the arrival of Mendietta from Lazio.

Van Gaal is a nutter - I thought we had too many midfielders, but he is taking the Jaffa Cake!
