Barcelona look set to complete a deal that will see them sign Robinho on loan from Manchester City for one season with a view to making the move permanent next year, Catalan television are reporting.

TV3 state that an agreement will be done in the next few hours after the Blaugrana made their interest official and talks to iron out the details are going on at the moment.

Robinho has stated that he would welcome a move back to the Spanish league and Pep Guardiola is a known fan of the Brazilian star after he stated he would have liked to have signed him 12 months ago...

*is doubtful*

And he would play where exactly ? He isn't better or as good as Messi, Henry or Eto'o.

1042 BST: Barcelona are to make a move for Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina after the Nou Camp club's talks with current number one Victor Valdes broke down.


Please don't go. It's taken nearly 20 years to get a quality keeper :(

Would be a good replacement for Tevez, not like for like in everything they do, but I can see Owen getting important goals like Tevez did...


I wouldn't touch either of them, but wouldn't Ruud VN be a better bet in the ageing goal scorer on the cheap stakes.


Would you not go for Owen because of his injuries?

Yes to RvN (I've been wondering if it's possible he'd return, only...) but what about his falling out with Fergie? And didn't he leave because he didn't like being left out of the first team?


Man Utd should have insisted upon the 80mill for ronaldo we also get a striker free sneijder or Rvn or for a cut price Robben

I would have taken £75m and Higuain, which would have meant we could have used the rest of the funds to get a top class winger (NOT Valencia) and a decent centre midfielder, maybe have negotiated a plan to get van der Vaart or Sneijder if the Dutch exodus is going to happen at Madrid and exercise our buy back clause on Rossi. Two top quality strikers, a great winger and a great centre midfielder for the future with about £30-£40m left.

Liverpool first day of the Season. We always seem to get them on the last day of the season so this makes a nice change.
