He is 100% staying at Barca. 100%

There should be some doubt because this is the optimum moment to sell him. If they don't he will leave for nothing. It's an opportunity to rebuild for them.

Going the same way as United did a few years back. It will take some work fixing that pile of wank in the coming years. No Messi, no money and their manager played some absolute woeful football at Everton.

I'm reserving judgement on Koeman as he has slightly better players at his disposal now than he did at Everton.

Suarez also staying lol, asked Messi to take a paycut, Vidal in training after flight cancelled. Si such revolucion

I am (part) Spanish and I recognise it to be an alliterative “in” joke playing on such previous iterations as the Isco Disco...

I can also say unequivally that Spanish people do, in fact, mambo, even if we did not invent the dance!

I never suggested Spaniards do not Mambo - simply pointing out, Mambo is neither Spanish nor Argentinean. Rather it seems quite obvious the joke was to use a latin dancing term that began with an 'M' without observing origin

I did not make a thing of it, just pointing out the obvious - it's a bit lazy and would've been even more apropos to use say Malambo

When debates about cultural appropriation ensue on this forum you know then that we’re all doomed.

 

[Dobsy]

Thread title is poor if not ignorant stereotype of spanish speakers? Mambo is neither Argentinian nor Spanish.

Malambo, sure but Mambo?

I politely submit that you're overthinking this one. It's just a common dance word with the word M in it.
