If he's paid the money he owes then what's the problem? That's he way I see it anyway.

he will not serve any time and its probably  not much more than 4 or 5 weeks pay .

MASCHERANO OPEN TO PL RETURN

Javier Mascherano has refused to rule out a Premier League return, and added that despite his love for former club Liverpool, he would consider a move to another side.

The 31-year-old swapped Liverpool for Barcelona in the summer of 2010, and revealed that he will always hold a place in his heart for the Reds.

"My feeling for Liverpool does not mean I'm tied to them," he said in an interview with The Independent.

"If in the future a Premier League team was interested in me and I had the chance to go back, you can't say: 'No, I would only play for one team'. I don't know what I would do."

Code for "come and get me, Guardiola"?

Masch heading to Juve on a 3-yr contract. Has achieved literally everything with Barca and probably wants to play in midfield. Does that mean Pogba is heading out?

Getting Dani Alves too, maybe.

Can't see him dislodging their centre backs so probably moving in to midfield. But they have Khedira in that role. Not bad competition to have!

Not sure who was the commentator this morning but they still didn't rate Masch in his Barca position, Show them your medals Masch.
It might of been Hoddle which would explain it

Loved him when he was here. I'll always remember him for taking Van Der Sar out for no apparent reason when both he and Vidic got sent off and we won 2-0 with a late Ngog goal..

The lack of knowledge Hoddle seems to have regarding football when he's a former manager, commentator and an academy director (or whatever his role is) is unreal.

Officially retired just announced.

Gutted when he left to be honest. Congrats on the career.....

According to James Pearce, Mascherano learned the words to a derogatory song the Kop sang to antagonise John Terry so he could wind up the Chelsea captain when they rubbed shoulders during a game.
