Looking for Barca Jersey at the Best Prices? Find it here - FC Barcelona Jersey

FC Barcelona has revealed the Official Jersey for 2010-11 season today coinciding with the presentation of David Villa. The traditional home jersey have the thicker Blaugrana stripes compared to last season. The other change is the introduction of Red shorts compared to the last season's blue ones. Inside the collar the words "Tots units fem força" (Together we are strong) are taken from the club hymn and on the left sleeve the slogan "Més que un club" (More than a club) is embroidered. . There is a drastic change in the new Barca away jersey. The away jersey is pre-dominantly green with the Blaugrana colours across the chest. I seriously like the away green colours but the Blaugrana stripe kills the look. The last time we wore the Red shorts was in the season 2005-06 which was a Champions League winnng season. From the official site - "The new FC Barcelona shirts are unique in the same way that the shirts worn last term were also in the fact that they are manufactured from recycled plastic bottles".

Rumours, Rumours Everywhere, not a single one to Believe

Ain't it quite strange? When I wrote the match report for the Valladoid vs Barca match, many here thought that ideally would be my last post for the next two months. With my experience with previous transfer season, I knew that wasn't the case. The truth simply is that the real entertainment off the pitch starts the moment the transfer window opens or in other words when the season ends. Usually in a World Cup year, the transfer market usually heats up after the Showpiece event. But this time it has become hyper active much earlier. FC Barcelona should be blamed for setting the fire with their early pursuit of David Villa and Cesc Fabregas. They didn't wait for Real Madrid to inflate the market and started their business from the very next day after their La Liga defense. Already huge war of words are going between Arsenal and Barca fans all over the web for their pursuit of Cesc Fabregas. As I wrote in my earlier post, At 80 Million, Fabregas Deal Better Be Dead, the entire Cesc Fabregas story has shot up after Spanish Journo, Guillem Balague has suddenly reported about Fabregas expressing his interest to return home. The entire Spanish media based in Barcelona and the likes of Sid Lowe, Martni Samuel from England helped in raising the story to enormous proportion. The truth still remain that all these are mere specualtions and nothing has been clarified by any parties. Arsenal fans are rightly feeling being targetted not only by Spanish Journalist but also those from their own countries. At this moment nobody can say anything about this one and we may have to wait and watch.

Pedro and Valdes Makes into World Cup Squad

Spanish National side Coach, Vicente del Bosque has announced the final 23 men squad who will be making the trip to South Africa. The biggest surprise has been the inclusion of Victor Valdes and Pedro Rodriguez. To an extent Victor Valdes inclusion should not have come as a surprise. With two years of consistent performance he has earned the right to represent Spain in international level. Isn't it very strange that this is his first call to National side. The real surprise was the inclusion of Pedro. It's a great reward to the wonderful season he had. With the addition of David Villa we right now have eight players in the World Cup squad. As expected Iniesta, Xavi, Puyol, Pique, Busquets and Villa all have made in to the list. The full list is given below :

At 80 Million, Fabregas Deal Better Be Dead

With reports emerging from London about Arsenal slapping a price 80 Million pound, the Cesc Fabregas transfer saga has truly heaten up. Suddenly the great enthusiasm that surrounded the Barca Management regarding Fabregas has made way to caution. The recent comments made by sporting director, Txiki Begiristain is a testimony of the sudden realisation that this one is not going to be easy. Begiristain recently said "What counts here is Arsenal and what their decision is, because Cesc is a very important player for them. It is great news that he wants to come. Sometimes what players want does not happen ,they have contracts in force. I think that at some stage Cesc will come to FC Barcelona. I don't know when but I have the feeling that he is a Barcelona player and he would love to play here. But we have to respect Arsenal and the contract he has there." Now that's a sudden change in attitude as it was reported that the Barcelona Hierarchy recently gave a "Now or Never" ultimatum to Cesc Fabregas. Now there is a realisation that Arsenal will do whatever needed to hold on to their captain and it's essential not to irritate the Premier League club.
