Looks like Rafa's made his mind up about Baros (and Dudek) so really seems to be a question only of who and when.
West Ham will, hopefully, get relegated. Baros could surely get into a team playing European football.
Schalke can go blow themselves, I'm sure Baros would rather play in La Liga with Deportivo or stay in the Prem with Villa than go to the German League.
Although, I suppose, Rosicky and Jan Koller seem OK with it.
"Wants European football" - That phrase always irritates me. Middleborough and Everton have European football - Davids went to Spurs. Everton again, but Bellamy went to Blackburn. Balls to 'wants European football', I'm confident every single player would rate 'good club' and 'quality of league' above European football.
My hopes are on a Berger/Baros reunion at Villa.
Baros' agent confirms he's had talks with Schalke.

They're not as good as they were because they have no decent striker. Makaay left a few years ago, and Tristan is now a steaming pile. Plus they loaned out Pandiani and are now selling him, even though he's the best they have. If they can keep Luque and get Baros, they'll be good. They did win the league a few years ago, and they'll still be competing for Europe this season (probably) (if they get a decent striker).
> Baros to Barcelona :)
Haha, no chance. They're sending Saviola off on loan again. Although one of the rumoured places is Aston Villa, so possibly Saviola and Baros as a partnership? I'd like to see that, but it would mean I have to stare at that God awful Villa kit. Maroon and powder blue, nice choice guys.
> Why oh why did you let Berger go?
He was on £27,000 a week at 33 years of age, we didn't want to shell out our highest wage to players that don't play in half of the games.
So he left on a bosman to Villa where he's still getting the same wage.
Lucky bas.
Plus Yak wanted to go, deal was done in January and he didn;t bother playing fr us after that. The bas can fook off.
Assuming we haven't already?
We've just signed Westerveld after getting Vignal the other week. Plus we've already had mash and Berger.
