Can't wait! We'll see what Madrid are made of with an away fixture to Mallorca on Sunday, looking forward to seeing Villa, Messi, Xavi and Iniesta playing together.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic back to Italy it seems

I'll believe it when I see it. These "talks" have been going on for a while and I doubt if Milan could afford him, plus it's highly unlikely he would go out on loan.

Italian transfers (especially those of the big clubs) are always a bit murky. I presume you heard about how Kevin-Prince Boateng arrived there?

Big clubs in Italy, particularly Milan and Inter, have a habit of buying and selling each other's players or former players. Don't be surprised if the deal happens.

I haven't heard of that particular deal Gallsman, although I'll look it up now. I'm hoping the deal does go through, as Bojan was excellent last season any time he got a chance and I'm confident it would be the same this season, doubtful that Ibrahimovic would be happy to be an impact sub. It would also mean more football for Pedro if he left.

Valencia looking good 3-1 up away to Malaga, Aduriz has impressed on his debut, scoring one and setting up another. Interesting to see if Mallorca can continue their brilliant home record from last season when they host Real Madrid tomorrow night, they might struggle having lost 2 of their best players.

Great start for Athletic Bilbao.

Gora Bilbao !!!
& the whole Euskadi!

& Aupa Athletic!!!!!!!

Ibrahimovic away to Milan on loan, bit surprised at that because his agent (who seems to be a ****) said he wouldn't go out on loan.

Well if they get Robinho before the deadline they will have a decent forward line of Ibrahimovic, Pato & Ronaldinho

Straight forward win for Barca tonight 3-0 in the end & villa got his debut goal, Real Madrid live now should be a good one

Disappointing 0-0 already playing catch up to barca

They were awful.

The last 20 minutes saw Real have Ronaldo, Benzema, Higuian, Ozil, and  Khedria on the pitch at the same time. Very unMourinho like team and transfers this summer
