*** Official Spanish Primera Division 2007-2008 ***

Some story has come up with him being out partying before a recent match, which he denies, which Rijkaard then publicly at least has said he choses to believe. The word of his player.

So officially at least he was just out with a minor injury suffered in training.

I think that if he continues to be the player in decline that he is right now, without much of a professional attitude coupled with the worst physical condition of any top player, that his time at Barca is nearing the end.

My view is that they would be very wise to try and ship him to Chelsea who without Mourinho as a voice of reason, and a desire to entertain, would still be willing to offer them a fortune for his services.
