myself raw at the thought of Mascherano coming. Maybe loan to buy? But honestly it's more likely that Hazard or Ribery will come. Guardiola has been playing him too much as CB to let him go. Unless Barca buy a top CB I can't see him leaving. Keita will leave before Mascherano will. We would be unstoppable if we bought Mascherano and Alex.

I can think of a few things what Agnelli's words about Barca could be about.
1. Sanchez, eg. if they buy him we will focus on Aguero, Rossi or someone else

I'd say Conte would have loved to have had Sanchez and probably wanted him more than Aguero (if he wanted him at all). But obviously Sanchez wanted Barca.
2. If Sanchez arrives at Barca we could try for Bojan

or maybe Pedro.
3. If Barca buy any players (which they would) we could try for Afellay because he plays wing and midfield and they would be both crowded with more players
4. If another midfielder comes we could try for Keita.
5. Maybe he thinks Barca are the standard to gauge how prices are.
6. Barca could have been the team to start off the big transfers?
7. Mascherano? With Fabregas arriving they would have an overcrowded midfield.
Tell me if I've missed anything.
