Random: Meet Chygy, King Leo & The Official Shirt Numbers

- Let's get to know the new man on Barca, Chygrynskiy - who we are just going to call Chygy from now on. According to Sport, this dude is quite a devout guy. His friends call him Jesus Christ, and not just because he's got the Jesus-style hair and beard...
.
He hates nightclubs. He never drinks alcohol. He's always the very first to show up at training, and not in a flashy sports car - he hates those. You know, maybe we'll just call him Chysus...
.
He spends his time reading and watching movies, or, apparently, working on his studies: he's got a university education, a finished Company Management degree, specialising in finance, and says Chygy: "I'd like to carry on studying all my life, just getting better every day." Quite a character, isn't he?

- The list of what players will be wearing which number on Barca has offcially come out... most of the lads are keeping their original shirts, with the exception of Dani who is wearing '2' instead of his last season's '20'... while newcomers Maxwell and Chygy have taken '19' and '21' respectively. With Guddy's departure the '7' shirt remains unoccupied; we like to hope that it's being kept on ice for when and if we ever sign David Villa. See the full list here.

- King Leo is staying in a five-star hotel with his private entourage, apart from the rest of the Argentine national team, where he spends his days playing PlayStation. And apparently the man assigned as his bodygaurd is some kind of criminal?

- Maxwell and Bojan are still nursing injuries picked up in the match against Gijon, but it's nothing too serious for either one; and they'll be back soon. Bojan might even play during this international break with the Spanish U-21 sqaud, after being called up. He'll be taking a medical examination to determine if he can participate.
.
- The summer transfer window has been officially closed; that puts an end to the not-so-suspenseful suspense Txiki has been trying to stir up with his mysterious claims of a last minute signing. Transfer reports go on though, and right now word is that Barca will probably sign Cesc Fabregas in either June or December. We just hope so...
