Transfer Talk: Goodbye Gudjohnsen, Henrique

We're feeling sad about Henrique. He was signed, loaned out for a year, then brought back home as a promising addition to the team; but after a couple of preseason performances it was decided he still needs to develop more. And out he goes on another loan, this time to Spanish side Racing Santander. Well, at least he stays in Spain, and will get more used to Liga football. This also means that we'll be facing him, twice; we're not too eager about that either.

We can't help but feel that this decision was kind of hasty, that perhaps, with a bit of time, Henrique would have fit in fine on Barca... after all, adaptation doesn't happen overnight. Pique wasn't as exactly splendiferous when he first returened to Barca a year ago as he is now. But, what's done is done.

Also by way of last minute transfers, Barca have sold Eidur Gudjhonsen to French club Monaco. Well, kind of sold him. The club won't recieve a transfer fee, they just might get up to two million euros depending on how well Guddy does. Crappy much? Who negotiated this deal, one of the team's physios? Or are Barca just that desperate to get rid of him?
.
Anyway, this means that the number seven formerly occupied by him is now up for grabs - we vote Bojan should take it.
