Pep I hope you read this, but it's realy unfortunate to see some of the profane and immature comments left on here: I'm referring in particular to the "OFFICIAL Gio to Totteham" thread. I know most of the visitors here are civil and well mannered but there are a few rotten apples that should be dealt with. I hope you would agree that there should be NO tolerance for such behavior on the forum! We should all be able to agree to disagree without feeling threatened or being verbally attacked in the process! When it comes to opinions there realy is no "right" or "wrong" answer and everyone should be entitled to their opinions regardless.

I removed the posts, thanks for pointing that out. I agree with you and I'm removing posts (or just words) but I'm not around 24/7.

I want to leave discussion as open and free as possible, but it seems to be hard for some to deal with that freedom.

Well guess that is the list for now... Not expecting much to change, well at least until after Euro 08...

3 More names that would be awesome if its on the 'Official In' list are...

1. David Silva (Hatem Ben Arfa)
2. Joao Moutinho
3. Daniel Alves

David Silva would be a preferable option, but if the asking price is still too high for Barca... then maybe would consider Ben Arfa for left winger... read reports (not sure about the reliability) that Ben Arfa would be considered for 20Mil but if there is competition it might go up... and 20 Mil was the price that Barca was willing to put on the table for Silva...

Anyways... for the other 2 players (Moutinho and D Alves)... dont know any good replacements so would be awesome if they play for Barca the coming season...
