Too good? as in he'd expect bigger team? I don't think so!
F.C. Barcelona has some decent forums, some of them are full of bandwagon supporters and politic idiots, but one of them is full of good football supporters, and knowledgeable guys (it's some sort of Barcelona's newkit). I lurk around there sometimes and Giuly is regarded as much more than a squad player, instead, they've wondered always why he wasn't given more chances. I must say I didn't know him well at the start of this season, but the guy convinced me.
The guy, is shouting in order some big club knocks at his door. He only admits the official bid from Galatasaray but adds that right now he thinks only in Liverpool. In my football book that press quotes must be read like "Oh I have some offers, but I'm waiting for the good one".
He has probably said he had no contact with Benitez, because the Barcelona surrounding press has already mentioned the link to Liverpool, and in those cases, the usual thing is to say there's nothing official.
I do think he's a good signing. Definitely better than Victor, if you ask me. I hope Rafa goes for him!
