why are idiots like barthez and dida mentioned here? and why isnt gregory coupet mentioned?

Salary cap idea does not work for football to be honest because you will get teams like Osasuna with no commercial or matchday income, paying highly inflated salaries to their players. Basketball players have a higher mean in wages than footballer players (even more so when you look at La Liga...

Hmpf. Those essentially free loans are well justifiable for the demise of competition in La Liga BUT people really need to examine the entire picture here when it comes to TV revenues. Yes, EPL teams get the most amount of TV revenue but that occured with the rise of Reds (Liverpool, Man Utd and...

Erm, financially balanced and financially stable? really? I guess that explains why EPL clubs have so many underwriters.

sorta a dumb comment. EPL clubs despite sharing money (which is not really shared equally also), you dont see English clubs developing players. balancing money sorta equally in EPL has not helped clubs at all, it has massively inflated the wages received by their players. thats it. check out...

MOM performance

no one wants him, poor guy. he had it all when he was 13 only to lose everything at 28. cant even say that he actually earned a lot of money either. he was a beast in all the games. CM 99, 00, 01... so beastly

though sergio santamaria was the epitome of shit... he was never hyped as much as babangida was.

For the lazy people that dont want to read the Gabriele Marcotti List of 26 would be superstars- I present to you, the midfielder section Midfielders Haruna Babangida (Barcelona/Nigeria/18) - Natural winger who likes to cut inside and has been compared to Finidi George. Yossi Benayoun...

superb record for a winger whilst playing for barca b. could play on either flank and had speed as his main asset. was signed by barcelona from the famed ajax academy at the age of 15. i think at a time (or probably still is) the youngest player to feature for barcelona in a friendly at that...

/thread.

ibra- "leagues... "

LOL nevermind. My argument there is null cause I only looked at BBC African Footballer of the year. Boom tish. Game over for me.

which is sorta what Villa does too. How Villa gets a get out of jail free card, whilst Ibra does not is a pure mystery to me.

Decent is a massive understatement. He has had the same amount of assists as he has goals in the league. Also, to further extend this debate, he has had a better record than David Villa (in terms of stats) when you compare their debut seasons whilst playing a fewer amount of games than the...

La liga? His presence brought about the Pedro. Also, he was leading the team during the first half of the season. People do not give him as much credit as he deserves. He led a MUCH weaker AC Milan team to a title. Inter had a much better squad and yet, it was him that single handedly led the...

Could be said for Zlatan as well. Dominated 2 elite leagues and delivered titles everywhere. Assists as well as scores. Carried team singlehandedly on club league level. shame that his charm does not extend to the continental level.

erm what? did you see the game? if kleber didnt screw up the counterattack and was not for mascherano's tackle... the 2 on 1 would have been a goal. another mistake that he made was a direct pass to christian rodriguez due to a horrible touch. its not attacking flow. he keeps xavi away from...

CD, i will be correct in my assessment. Keita is not cut out to be at CM and that is considering all the talents that Pep has, mainly cause of 2 reasons- a) positionally terrible b) take too many touches until an eventual pass these two cannot be corrected given his age and...

he was everywhere in the wrong way. he contributed to all of porto's major counterattacks. xavi basically had no influence in the midfield cause of keita being so unaware of being free. horrible dm. he is good at playing on the left of the center midfield and found himself basically there at all...
