This is what I don't like
It’s bad enough that Bojan left, it’s worse that they basically pushed him out… Now they’re doing the same to Jeffren…

That's the sad thing about it
Hate to see the club forcing these players out especially when they’ve shown so much desire to stay.

Financial fair play
the FFP rules will go into affect soon and it’s clear that barca are trying to stock up on as much talent as possible until then.

...
Its sad but do we have a choice?considering our lack of transfer funds?
Uh how about not making unnecessary transfer overtures? (Cesc, Sanchez)
This is all about Sandro Rosell’s ego at work here…

Sure..
We dont need cesc..but we do need a forward..fact is jeffren and bojan need some sort of change..its either been injury or form with them..i think jeffren needs to go and bojan should just be loaned out..but if we wanna buy sanchez..we need the money..hence the sale…
Bojan transfer!
Barca could have asked for a higher price. I always thought Bojan was being groomed to one day take Villa’s place. Whats the point of buying over priced players. Jeffren needed another season with the first team, as this would have increased his worth.

I don't mind Bojan going but Jeffren can't stay either because he has issues for a player his age.
Bojan I feel is a made article, it’s as good as he’ll get and not much room for improvement since he’s played with the team since 16. Jeffren though shows promise but I can see why Barcelona want him gone also. Jeffren is a liability because he doesn’t play often since he gets injured basically every time he steps on the field. So both are gone really because the club is impatient with them.
Damn city
Seems city have increased their offer for sanchez..udinese will obviously want to sell to city but sanchez wants barca..as for bojan..i think the lower price is cause of the buy back clause..i dont think it would have been fair to keep jeffren..im sure he wants more first team chances..
I like this rumor
If the Sanchez deal falls through, Barca will go after Valencia’s Juan Mata. Valencia want €15 mil and Jeffren, who is open to a switch if he stays in Spain

I wouldn't mind mata
What can I say seems like a good buy. I’m sort of happy city increased the bid…that got us out of a bind on a player that isn’t worth the money. So now hopefully we’ll look at some defenders.
Doubt it
Dont think valencia will sell Mata..i kno they’re broke but who do they have left..after villa and silva its amazing they got to 3rd this time..in the end an experienced defender is all we need..the rest is what we want..problem is..madrid are buying like mad..and with mourinho..well..hell be out for revenge..im sure hes willing to put 8 defenders or defense midfielders(including the goalie) and 3 forwards if that’s what it takes…god i hate Madrid:p
