safe to say they are not a happy bunch right now. Luis Enrique doesn't seem to have the backing of the fans and it seems quite obvious that they need new help defensively, so the transfer ban hurts them a lot right now. Will be interesting to see how things play out

Lots of noise, linking him to Chelsea too lately. He and his gf's twitter accounts start following Chelsea FC, and a few of their players. Apparently, Chelsea made contact. Can't possibly fathom how that works financially, considering Mourinho mentioned he was cuffed by FFP last summer.
