yeah, that Figo. I mean, he's not the first player to go from Barça to Madrid and he probably won't be the last, but it's always ugly. I suspect it was a combination of problems with Barça's management and Real Madrid's cash that got him there, but so far as I know it's never been really explained.

hmmm. tell you what, in the comment above this I linked some stuff for oneshottoyour and I'm too lazy to do the html tags again. but I will update my Barça primer (http://meretricula.livejournal.com/156226.html) to include some of the Figo saga. XD ahhhhh I love dragging people further into my fandoms. :)
