Barca tell The Dhino, “No Olympics for you”

By: Rob | July 9th, 2008

Will we see this in the summer?In another bizzare news story, Barcelona have told out-of-favour striker Ronaldinho he isn’t permitted to partake in the Summer Olympics, despite being named in Dunga’s squad as an overage player. This makes absolutely no sense.

Ronaldinho’s transfer saga is making C-Ron’s looks pathetic, but the Catalonia club are determined that the Brazil man not play in the games.

This is despite the fact that;

i) He’s a bit unfit at the moment and could do with the games
ii) He’s not in the clubs plans so they would hardly miss him
iii) He’s about to run over to Milan if you believe the press stories that appear bi-daily.

Barca however, are adament, because the games do not feature in any FIFA calender, so clubs are not obliged to let thier players play. Obviously, as R10 knows he has no future at the club anyway, he could just give them the finger and play anyway (I hope he does). It seems odd that Barca don’t want to let him go, but they don’t want him either.

Still, lets all recall happier R10 moments eh?

I miss that Dhino.
