So far I don't even have any opinion on Gomes, Umtiti and Digne, but I gotta hand it to our board for making all of this happen on the down-low and just shocking us with these announcements out of the blue. We're too used to reading the same story in the news every day for 50 days before a...

Here's a shoutout to DonAK for his good post a month ago, well said:

22 is Vidal's number.

Yes, I was thinking about that, too. Poorly thought out comment by Lucho. You'd think a guy at his position would know what not to say in public.

I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Mascherano try out the RB spot.

Vidal and Bob covering the RB spot. I might wanna sleep through this season... By the way, interesting how he didn't even mention Douglas, the only actual RB. :lol:

I never meant "keep them regardless of Lucho not counting on them". Obviously what I said is wishful thinking, unrelated to Lucho's statements. I can't understand why he'd reject two players that he can have for free and could be very useful to him in this FW/RB situation we have now.

Keep Tello and Montoya, at least for this season. Them coming back from loans is happening at the absolute perfect moment for us.

Not very smart from Lucho. Granted, neither Tello nor Montoya are phenomenal players, but at this crucial moment where we don't have a decent forward replacement, and we have 3 players for the RB spot, two of whom are not RBs and the other is Douglas, Lucho has the perfect opportunity to take...

We all already know that defenders never get the same recognition as forwards, so I just skipped that part. All I'm saying is, Cristiano has basically been one of the two favorites to win Ballon d'Or every time for years now. And now that he's won the CL and the EC, I just can't see how it...

Listen, I hate everything that he represents, and I think he's incredibly overrated. But I even I wouldn't deny he was important in winning those two trophies. He was below his best level, below the level that you expect of such a highly rated player, he was invisible in some crucial moments...

I agree. The thing is, Ballon d'Or is not a lifetime achievement award. It's for performances and achievements in one particular year. Messi is the better player overall, everyone knows that, even if they don't want to admit it. But if Griezmann, Bale, Cristiano, Neymar or whoever else has a...

Most of you know I hate Cristiano with a fiery passion, so take this into consideration when reading the rest of my post. If Cristiano shouldn't win the Ballon d'Or, who should? Can we at least agree that the answer is not that simple? Messi is easily the better player overall and had a great...

Not that it has anything to do with this thread :lol: but there are phones that are waterproof but can't handle saltwater for extended periods of time.

The article that I read said that his phone broke down in the water, but that one of Messi's friends/relatives took the photo with his phone.

Cool story. I also read that Messi invited him in for drinks and that he offered him his jet ski to return to the shore, but Suli kindly refused and swam back. :lol: :worthy:

I still can't accept that they won't make the logo yellow like the Nike logo and kit detailing.

Sorry, I just woke up. :lol: I thought you were jokingly asking who was the beast, because you don't remember no beast. :lol: Good question. :lol: I remember at least a few of us being excited after seeing that first appearance of his. But you're right, it was never a satisfying transfer, even...

I started writing my reply to the original post with the link, I didn't even see the other (humorous) replies until now. :) I also grabbed the opportunity to address this topic that comes up too often on the forum. :lol: I remember when people were going crazy over a pic of Messi where his...

He looks fine. People in this forum are always overreacting to photos of players' stomachs. Messi, Suarez, Arda, Alba, etc. When you're discussing whether a player's in good shape, the main thing you're interested in is fat percentage, and you can't calculate that based on a photo. And you most...
