Javier Mascherano

[Snauhi]

Masch will be awesome against teams with a good midfield. Hes defensive abilities are just awesome.

Just watched his presentation, for those of you that don't speak Castellano here's my thoughts:

He seemed like a very nice, normal, down to earth guy. He said he doesn't care what position he plays in, he just wants to play when he can, and he has played in other positions in his career. He also said it's normal that there's competition in midfield because we have 3 world cup winners playing there.

He has an excellent relationship with Messi which he emphasised a lot. He has spoken with Guardiola briefly, who said that if he has any problems to come to him, and expects to speak to him tomorrow etc.

Finally, he hinted that there's some things which went on at Liverpool which he doesn't want to speak about tonight but he will speak about in the future (yay, more drama....). He did say that they have said many lies about him lately in the press...

Oh, he'll wear 14.

He didn't kiss the badge.

He didn't kiss the badge.

Good! I'm glad he didn't.

He didn't kiss the badge.

Good! I'm glad he didn't.

Me too. Zlatan kissed and was a flop.

I also watched the presentation. I think that Javier is a humble man, very polite as a person, he will give his all for Blaugrana shirt. I think he will fit in our system. I'm very happy that we have another Argentina player in our squad.

Good! I hate it when a player starts kissing the badge. Especially if they have just signed. It's okay to do that if you been at the club for years and are loyal.

Take Ibra, that **** recently was asked why he kissed the Barca badge and he's response was cause they asked me to do it. So full of it.

[Magus]

He didn't kiss the badge.

Goddamn it... I came here just to say that! I've just realized it!
I respect him for that! He didn't try any stunts just to win some fans! He was honest and maybe someday, he will kiss it, but with a clear reason!
Neither one of us wouldn't have kissed the FCB badge in the first year of following because we weren't still decided about football nor the team we like, but right now we all have blaugrana in our veins and we would kiss it without any questions or a second of thought! Mascherano is honest and he is like us!
And for the first time, I don't agree with an Ibra bashing! Ibra did kiss the badge but so did Adriano or Villa! Let's not give a bad example of what this kiss might mean on a long-term because there are also good and bad examples! The main thing that's important is honesty!
P.s.: and don't make me come more often with posts such as this one! This was a one-time-only!

[FCB-Rizla-TML]

He's keeping the ball in the air with his mind.

I don't rate this guy as highly as many do. His stats for Liverpool aren't great and he has a habit of getting sent off in the most important games. He's a liability and he will make me even more nervous when watching the games this season.
