Random: U2 On Camp Nou, Leo Talk & Transfer Reports

- Yesterday U2 kicked off their 360° world tour on Camp Nou before 90,000 viewers, opening the show with Snow Patrol. They also dedicated one song to recently passed away Pop star Michael Jackson and sang bits of two Jackson songs. Read more about the full concert here.

-The band are scheduled for another concert on Camp Nou tomorrow, before travelling to Milan, Italy to continue their tour.

- Lionel Messi will be sharing the cover of Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 with Liverpool star Fernando Torres. Both players appear in all promotional materials for the game, which will offer versions for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PSP and Xbox 360, PC and mobile phone.

- Newly signed Real Madrid star Ricardo Kaka claims that he thinks Messi is the main candidate for 2009's world player of the year. Oh really Kaka? You don't say... well of course he is, he's the best on earth right now, and there's no denying it.

- Barca's midfield ace Xavi claims that Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn't be tolerated on Barcelona. "As for Ronaldo, I wouldn’t want him here. At Barca, we do not have room for players who fill gossip magazines. We are hard workers and sportsmen but he, on the other hand, is uncontrollable.” Bit extreme of him? Frankly, we think Xavi's got a point.

- The never-ending Eto'o story continues as Manchester City have reportedly announced that they're giving a deadline for Eto'o to decide if he'll join them, in light of the club's recent offer of a contract renewal to the striker. Now's the time, Samu must choose bewteen one or the other.

- As for Brazilian star Keirrison, his contract with the club is close to being finalized, and he will reportedly be in Barcelona by July 13.

- How eager are Barca fans to have David Villa join the club? The striker's homepage was allegedly hacked by a fan calling himself "Nemesis", and a statement was posted on the page demanding of Villa why he hasn't come to Barcelona: "For the love of God Villa, what is a player of your class waiting for to come to the best team in the world? We are waiting for you ace :) I am a simple supporter of F.C. Barcelona, fan of Villa."

We promise, it wasn't us.
