Rijkaard inherited a youth system with Iniesta, Valdes, Messi, Bojan and Dos Santos in it. That's about £200m worth of talent. He was also allowed spend big money on Deco, Ronaldinho, Etoo and Henry. He did a good job, but in the end he wasn't able to control the egos.

Nice one for using my 10 Divorces fact aswell, Rash.

Etoo = The Cameroonian Cisse? Jesus fucking christ that's a whopper, the guy is one of the 3 best forwards in the game, he's scored 75 goals in 105 games for Barca and 14 in 15 this season.
Flame grilled!
