According to my Newcastle Text Message service (yep, a fool and their money etc...), the Catalonian papers are buzzing with the rumour that Barca are going to buy Little Kevin Dyer...

Is this true?

two things 1. they are linked to every good player every day, based on their arrogant theory that every player wants to play there. 2. dyer would hate it here, the team operates like a souless, smug star machine. he would probably never get a game and he'd be blamed if they lost PLUS they have basically said that they don't want English players (they have poo pooed Beckham).

i reckon that D'Allesandro and Riquelme are their targets. And with due respect to Kevin, these players are (on tv) better... and younger.

its a teamtalk pile of pants.

over to you steve.

Ta. It sounded like a bit of media bollix and I had a faint recollection of Joan Gaspart saying that English players just don't work out in Spain, but I wondered (worried) that it may be true.
