hey im on the fence about the hleb signing. im sure we cud have done better but i think every one should chill and see where this goes. lets judge him once the team settles and the games start rollin .. for all we know hleb could turn out to be the best signing of the season (or the worst) just as toure was last season.
i think guardiola will run a tight shift ...rijkaard got too soft at the end. for my taste.
either way i think we should end this transfer soap opera by signing van der vaart or thiago neves and hernanes and for God sakes lets keep our top gun eto'o nobody wants him gone between him henry and bojan and messi we have enuf goals..
