Just read that EFC and Barcelona are striking up a partnership, which will allow us to take on loan any players in the reserve team or any exciting, up and coming talent . Barcelona are said to be very impressed with not only Martinez and his brand of football, but our club on a whole. If true it could be a very good partnership.

{Ed025's Note - i suspect we already had one denti if not official, hence the del boy deal, but it could be of great benefit for the future mate..

Never heard of spuds trying to sign any1 from madrid, loan deal or otherwise AB.

Exactly Dentie! They do have an official partnership with Madrid though. I was only messing, anyway, to be honest. I would be very happy if this happened. Don't want us to gain a reputation as just a loan club who rely on others, like Watford, but it'd be brilliant to see all the exciting young players with us!

If we truly are "by far the greatest team the world has ever seen" then why are forming a partnership as the junior member, borrowing off our betters Barcelona, let's get our pride back and compete with the biggest in Europe not hang around for their scraps.

When we've had the success domestically and internationally that clubs like Barcelona have had; when we have a superb income-generating stadium that can be regularly filled with massive crowds; when we are recognised worldwide and can earn commercial income accordingly; when we can attract - and retain - the top players from around the globe; then we can be the big "I ams" (notwithstanding our history - but that's what is: history not recent trophy wins), but while we're a work-in-progress under RM we are quite right in my opinion to use all legal means - such as loaning talent - to help us move forward.

{Ed025's Note - i cant see a problem with it sid..

Looks like the consensus is that it's ok to wait for the scraps off Barcelona, I've publically backed Kenwright, even supported Moyes and wished him all the best when he left, only later to realise that Moyes is a complete and utter snake in the grass, now after all that I hear fellow blues saying it's ok to live off the scraps of our European competitors, let's get real Barcelona are a massive world Football club, they became so by only beating their competitors, wake up my fellow blue noses Barcelona will not do us any favours!
