Jimmy's Future In Doubt

Last updated : 22 August 2002 By Rich Godden
Speaking to Spanish newspaper El Mundo Deportivo, Jimmy said "Barcelona are one of the big clubs and Louis van Gaal one of the best coaches in the world.

"We are talking about an excellent combination and I would like to form part of it.

"At the moment, Barcelona have the potential to win the Champions League and I could contribute to that.''

Hopefully it is just a case of Jimbo being misquoted but to lose the fiery Dutchman would be a major blow to the Blues, although the £20 million that Barcelona are reportedly ready to offer would help to ease the blow.
