    No injury worries for Giuly
    http://www.fcbarcelona.com/eng/noticias/noticias/n04062808.shtml

    Ludovic Giuly underwent a successful medical examination on Monday lunchtime and demonstrated that he has recovered from the hamstring injury that kept him out of EURO 2004.

    The day started for Giuly at the Asepeyo Clinic near Barcelona after which he moved on the FC Barcelona Sanitas Centre for Sports Medicine in the Nou Camp where he took a full range of tests.

    Hamstring OK

    Speaking at a press conference after the medical, Dr Jordi Ardévol, head of the Club's medical services, confirmed that the player was in excellent condition and that he had fully recovered from the hamstring injury he picked up a month ago in the Champions League final against Porto.

    However, as a precaution, the French international will receive special treatment to observe and prevent a recurrence of the injury.

    Jordi Ardévol also confirmed that the ligament injury to the right knee that the player suffered three seasons ago has completely healed.

    They've signed Larsson as well, no?
    Yes, I think...

    This is what I found: (is in spanish)

    Los catalanes engrosan sus filas

    El Barcelona empieza a concretar la lista de fichajes pendientes y en breve cerrará las contrataciones de Giuly y Larsson


    oh yeah, I think it's a fact already :)

    I think Barca will get Deco too...

    As I have been informed Spanish media claims that Deco is a done deal!
    The news about Deco joining Barca has come as a surprise to many... not that they are aginst it but they are not sure if he is needed!

    Barca has also been linked with Ballack!

    Larsson seems to be a done deal!

    And some reports suggest that they are also very close
    signing Zlatan (which I don't mind at all)

    as one of the football GOD's Mr. Cruyff said: Zlatan has a lot to improve!
    3 years in a row with only 10-15 goals in the Dutch league isn't anything then mediocre!!!
