Former Barca Players II - from Assulin to Zambrotta

Good on Sevilla to at least put a bid in, especially if he is currently in a "Bosman zone", would be great to see him back in Spain. Is this the first noise from Monchi since he left Roma to rejoin Sevilla? (Many fans of many clubs have wished Monchi was their transfer tsar, and I do wish he joined Barca, but I feel like our staff is doing a good job right now, and I admire Monchi's loyalty to Sevilla. I feel like he was open to Roma, and to other jobs in other leagues, but mostly ruled out going to a bigger club in Spain like Barca or Real.)

Back to Alves, what a player, still desired at 35, on 39 titles and likely to add 2 more. Good on you Dani, while I wish you stayed and saved us from the whole Sem-berto thing (reminiscent of Ed-motta DM pre Toure and then Busi), you have done well for yourself and your ex-wife agent. Hard to fathom you but I will always admire you.

Will coach in Barca's academy or start at a smaller Liga club? https://www.sport-english.com/en/ne...ez-could-coach-in-la-liga-next-season-7435674

 

I feel like I've seen one for Iniesta (plus maybe Puyol, Valdes, even Alves).

 

of the others I mentioned I only had time to look for Valdes and only found him with the treble trophies, not the career haul. Maybe you need to retire from European football to get that...?

 

Not sure which one scored first but one of them was a La Masia star on the rise just 4 years ago, the last one listed here

It looks like you are right, our Adama could still play for either country as an adult, but so far he's only played for Spain through U-21. But playing youth NT wouldn't rule him out of playing for the country of his parents if he decided to and Mali was interested: Born in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Catalonia to Malian parents,

Vissel Kobe going all in on former Barca players with Vermaelen set to join Iniesta, Villa, and Samper, quoting Sport:

Kobe will sign Vermaelen for what's left of their current season and another two more. There he will coincide with Andres Iniesta, David Villa and Sergi Samper.

Vermaelen arrived at Barca in 2016, but injuries stopped him from holding down a regular place. He played 53 games, scoring a goal and providing an assist.

 

Pedrinho!
