:confused:

Liverpool neatly bought him. They didn't actually buy him. IIRC Seville raised the price at the last minute and Liverpool fell a million or 2 short :o
 
I if remember correctly Liverpool missed out by one million in 2006. He is worth much more than that now.

He is the captain of Sevilla and proven to be one of the best in the business. So i am really really hoping Barca land this deal.

His attitude sucks though. He was saying the same crap about chelsea just last season. How he would "love" to play for them. Wonder where that love went now.

Also IIRC he demanded to be transferd just a day after his team mate died on the pitch.
But he's probably the best fullback in world football at the mo...
 
Ya, as much as his transfer attitude sucks. He is the best in the world and all the big clubs are chasing him.
 
Manchester United assistant manager Carlos Queiroz has launched an extraordinary attack on the Spanish nation and Real Madrid in particular over what he believes are attempts to "naturalise" Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese coach draws a bizarre comparison between the player and Christopher Columbus.

Real Madrid have made no secret of their desire to recruit Ronaldo, prompting United to consider reporting them to FIFA.

But Queiroz feels Madrid's outspoken courting of his Portuguese compatriot is about more than their wish to snap up the gifted winger, claiming it is part of the long history and rivalry between Portugal and Spain.

"Cristiano Ronaldo will never be Spanish! As they will never take Olivenca again," he told Portuguese newspaper Jornal do Noticias, referring to the small town on the disputed border between the two countries.

Queiroz also delved further into the historic rivalry, alluding to explorer Christopher Columbus - who both countries claim as theirs - and the 60-year Philippine Dynasty when Portugal was ruled by three Spanish kings until the bloodless revolution of 1640.

"They already did the same with Christopher Columbus, and it now seems they want to naturalise Cristiano Ronaldo," added the United number two.

"Have they already forgotten what we did to them in the past? We will never lose our patience."

With Portugal preparing for Euro 2008, Queiroz knows the furore surrounding Ronaldo's future could not have come at a worse time.

"It's being done in a manner to distract the Portugal team, at the height of their preparations for the European Championships," he said.

"But I am convinced that despite pressure from the Spanish sporting press he will not accept to change his nationality.

"However, it is an attack with a well-defined strategy and Portugal should be worried about that."

Hleb Agrees Barcelona Terms - Report
Spanish sports daily El Mundo Deportivo claims that FC Barcelona have reached an agreement with want-away Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb over a transfer. However, this saga is far from over...
»Comments (68) Print This Story Send To A Friend Contact Us galleria zoom The Barcelona-based daily reports that the Belarussian midfielder met with Txiki Begiristain, Barça's technical secretary, yesterday in Germany.

The meeting between the two in Kaiserslautern apparently went well, meaning that, if Hleb is to join up with the blaugrana, all they must do now is reach a transfer agreement with Arsenal.

However, this is where the difficulty lies, for other clubs are interested in the midfielder. Inter Milan of Italy are one of them, while Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster admitted his admiration for the Gunner yesterday.

What's more, the man himself stated that the Premier League is the best in the world, and may even look to remain in England while also leaving the Emirates, unlikely though that may be.

In any case, El Mundo Deportivo believe that an asking price of between €15m and €20m may be requested of any suitor.

Maybe you dont watch alot of arsenal matches, the guy had an amazing season. I'd say he's probably the best dribbler in the premiership.

The guy got injured mid-season what you expect, of course there will be a dip in form recovering.
Papers/people here praise the guy for his skills on the pitch and other teams have been after him not just barca.
 
im just going on what i have seen

i watched i 20odd arsenal games and hleb did nothing in terms of dribbling

maybe he is an awesome player but i have not seen it, i think he has played better than last year but nothing i can see suggests its going to be a major loss to arsenal
