Last Sunday the Barcelona president, Sandro Rosell, was a guest on a TV show called 'Hat-trick Barça' where he discussed all the latest 'Azulgrana' news, as well as offering a few opinions about Real Madrid. "I wouldn't have paid €100 million for Bale. The Barcelona members would have gone mental, but if they pay that much then it's because their members allowed it to happen; and that's that I guess", said the Barça boss.

He did praise the Kaká transfer, however: "Selling Kaká to Milan for nothing was a good move by Madrid. That's one huge salary off the books at least. Selling Villa was also a good move".

On the subject of Neymar's arrival, Rosell revealed that "when he was signing the contract with us he was still receiving emails from Madrid". The Brazilian is apparently fitting in fantastically well: "Messi and Neymar get on great. When I go down to the dressing room I see them getting on well, fantastically well actually".

Rosell, who hopes to "announce Iniesta's contract renewal in the near future", said that he's counting on Zubi for the future too: "We offered Zubizarreta the chance to renew his contract. I love his work, and who he is as a person too".

The club president also touched on Tata Martino's first few weeks in charge. The Argentine manager recently criticised the price that Madrid paid for Gareth Bale, and Rosell said: "We need to tell Tata that he can't always say what he thinks, but he spoke from the heart".

Talking about Tito Vilanova, he said that the former manager seems to be doing well: "I had dinner with him the other day and he looked well. He's fighting, he's putting all his energy into it, and I hope he comes out alright on the other side".
