David28 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 According to one transplant expert they just interviewed in the radio, Abidal is very unlikely to play football again As much as I dislike Barca and their players - that's horrible news for him. Feeling genuinly sorry for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 According to one transplant expert they just interviewed in the radio, Abidal is very unlikely to play football again Does he have any specific knowledge of Abidal's case? He said that the problem isn't that he won't make a full recovery, but that the transplanted organ would be vulnerable to trauma, and that he shouldn't participate in a contact sport like football. Ah, does not sound good then. Let's hope that's not the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 But now I'm reminded of Klasnic... didn't he play with a transplanted liver too? (although he took almost 1 year off IIRC). EDIT: checked, it was a kidney. Dunno if that makes a difference regarding this issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: checked, it was a kidney. Dunno if that makes a difference regarding this issue. Klasnic only has one kidney too. Terrible news like and obviously a massive blow, just hope the blokes health is OK regardless if he can play again. Maybe should've kept ahold of Maxwell?

(Despite him being fairly average) Maxwell put in a transfer request, we would have hold on him until the end of the season. Still, he was pants defensively. Losing Abidal will be a massive loss indeed. Adriano will cope well in La Liga but he'll suffer against world class wingers in the CL. Wouldn't be completely surprised to see Pep deploy Puyol there.

Always been a bit of a Barca fan myself, without sounding too glory hunter-ish, so know a bit about their history and great players etc. Btw V.I. I've seen a few sources saying that Muniesa will come in to play left back, what do you reckon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few sources saying that Muniesa will come in to play left back, what do you reckon? Happy to hear that, Basora was an integral part of our 1950s team, which was considered our all-time best side until, well, the current one. Kubala, Moreno, Basora and Manchón, legendary forward line. Muniesa is a good prospect, and unlike Adriano a more defensive-minded LB. But he barely has senior experience and would be a bit much to throw him against the likes of Robinho and Cronaldo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Probably hasn't got enough to his offensive game but defensively he'd cut it in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Jordi Alba circa €10m in the summer? Probably to offensive but I guess Busquets/Masch can drop and Puyol and Pique can split to make a 3 when he bombs on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 We were looking at an offensive LB to complement Abidal, and Alba was the one most linked. But with Abidal out of the picture I'm not sure if we'll prefer somebody to fill in his role as the more defensive fullback to complement Alves at the other side. We'll see in the summer I guess.

OzzieMandias Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 John Fashanu Claims Brother Justin Wasn't Gay - He Just Wanted Attention By Samuel Luckhurst John Fashanu has claimed his brother Justin was not gay. Justin Fashanu, who committed suicide nearly 14 years ago, is the only British footballer to come out as a homosexual. But his brother contested his sexuality in an on-air interview with talkSPORT. John Fashanu said: "I don't believe he was gay. "It's taken [my daughter] a long time to understand that Justin wasn't really gay. He just wanted attention." His brother came out as gay in October 1990 in an exclusive interview with The Sun newspaper. A week later, his brother John agreed to an exclusive with The Voice, which was headlined: "John Fashanu: My Gay Brother is an outcast." He revealed he had disowned his brother, however Fashanu expressed regret at the treatment of Justin after his suicide in 1998. Fashanu's daughter Amal led a BBC documentary called "Britain's Gay Footballers", which aired in January, and was critical of her father's reaction. "It was very upsetting to see the old news reports of my father disowning his own brother," she says. "I was only ten when it happened and my parents wanted to protect me. After my parents split up, I grew up with my mother in Madrid and although I heard things, I never discussed it with my father. "I knew he had not approved of Justin’s lifestyle, but the extent of his disloyalty was a shock," she told The Daily Mail. Amal has since launched the Justin Campaign, which aims to tackle homophobia in football. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/03/16/john-fashanu-doesnt-believe-his-brother-justin-was-gay_n_1353917.html What a prize fucking cunt John Fashanu is.
