Holtby sighting

by January I knew what Spurs fans were about so I kept saying watch, watch how badly Holtby flames out (not that I have anything against the lad, I like him and all but horrible decision). Literally weeks and weeks of hype of the guy and they swept the excitement under the rug when called out about their prior excitement. This is enough to start trolling again.

Chelsea trying to sign Christian Atsu from Porto for 3.5 million pounds.

Another winger?

Apparently Chelsea are doing Porto a favour there because he didn't want to sign a contract extension. Porto get a few mill for a player they would have lost for nothing otherwise. Ehh, supposed to be a decent prospect by all accounts. Guess he's another long-term project.

Atsu was a 'problem' to FC Porto, because he wanted to leave. With this approach, #cfc can get credits in the future for Mangala and Jackson

Mangala? Jackson?

Nah breh, we setting up that Quintero transfer for 2015.

didn't know Messi had it in him...

Unbelievable report emerges from Spain, damming the world’s best player…
Barcelona star Lionel Messi, widely regarded as the best player in the world, and probably the best player of all time, bullies and harasses his inferior teammates, claims Spanish publication El Confidencial.
A sensational article has been released in the Spanish media that claims four time consecutive Ballon D’or winner Messi is not the golden boy we perhaps think he is.

Known as much for his humble, respectful, well mannered approach, as he is for his unrivalled talent, the Argentine has apparently reduced younger teammates to tears.
“What are you doing? You’re nobody. Pass me the ball – you ’re here to play for me,” the Argentine reportedly said to Spanish youngster Christian Tello.
Tello was outraged by the fact senior Barcelona players and management routinely ignore Messi’s behaviour…
Messi is (arguably rightly) regarded as superior by Barcelona chiefs, and a law of silence surrounding his attitude is enforced.
Big money Chilean signing Alexis Sanchez has also felt the wrath of Messi’s tongue on the Barcelona training pitch.
“You’re so bad, I do not know how you could cost so much,” the little Argentine apparently said.
The reports emanate from the Spanish Under-19 camp, as Gerardo Deulofeu (now on-loan at Everton) and Alejandro Grimaldo broke Barcelona’s silence on Messi’s behaviour to fellow teammates.
Whether the reports are entirely true or not, or just subject to hyperbole, they will not do the reputation of the brilliant Messi any good whatsoever.

Story comes from El Confidencial. It has since been deleted though...false or not...it sounds plausible

Lionel Messi has had his conduct questioned after quotes published by Spanish site El Confidencial suggested that the Argentine insults and bullies his team-mates.

Widely regarded as the world’s best footballer, Messi has been accused in the past of not being the ideal team man, and the latest quotes - if accurate - could indicate that the Argentine struggles to control his anger towards other players at the club.

The story - headlined "the true face of Messi" - was allegedly filtered out via Spain U19 stars Alejandro Grimaldo and Gerard Deulofeu, and claims that the unrest in the Barcelona dressing room has been kept firmly under wraps previously due to a Mafia-style 'omerta' – a law of silence.

Messi's "favourite victim at the moment" is said to be Spanish 22-year-old Cristian Tello, to whom Messi has apparently delivered such gems as "What are you doing? You're new here, and you're nobody!" and "Pass me the ball, you're here to play for me."

Tello was allegedly left in tears after these exchanges, a situation which the report claims was made even worse by the fact that the other players in the changing room blanked him even when he broke into the first team.

Tello and Messi celebrate together - but is there bad blood between them?

Messi is also reported to have attacked Chilean striker Alexis Sanchez, who signed from Udinese for 37 million euros in 2011, saying, "Considering how bad you are, I've no idea how you cost so much," and, "Stop shooting so much and give me the ball."

The story remains firmly in the ‘unconfirmed’ bracket, and even if Messi did use the language in question it's certainly easy enough to imagine that he did so with tongue firmly in cheek, in the spirit of training ground banter.

But Eurosport Spain’s journalist Jorge Ordas says it’s not unusual for such reports to emerge regarding Messi's standing within the squad.

"Well, it’s not the first time that it has been said Messi that is not a good team-mate," Ordas said.

"He had some troubles with David Villa last year and he probably has a special personality.

"But honestly, I can’t imagine Leo Messi saying that to other players – that is just my opinion."
