Yeah, I still call to bring Rafa back. :lol: There's a few still here. Raed, Sergio/Pippo, Beast, Jordan/TH14, Sunny, and so on. Meta just left fairly recently.

Hey I remember you! Long time no see.

:pep:

Fixed.

Why would he say that about a guy who Ed and HBA told me was a world class fullback. :pep:

Mind you being healthy enough to train and fit enough to play are very different things. Nobody should expect much of Abidal this year, but if we get to see him play at all this season that alone would be a big boost.

That would actually be brilliant...but at this rate Llorente is leaving on free transfer and is almost certainly leaving Spain. But if they could pull that off...I mean Llorente is no Tigre, or even a Forlan, but they could be better off if they use the money to bring in Beñat plus other upgrades.

Koke has been pretty good, Gabi is reliable but unspectacular and Raul Garcia is somewhat revived by his loan to Osasuna, but their midfield isn't dominant in any way. They could really use a game changer like Beñat, who is linked with them, but they are probably losing both Falcao and Arda...

While he was always a bad decision maker when it comes to knowing how to shoot, it's clearly become a mental issue this year. Him and Pedro have both become trigger shy.

Such a sense of entitlement..if we don't blow out the Bayerns of the world it's not good enough.

Diego Costa is probably the second best right now when he's not getting himself sent off...their central midfield sucks but Costa and Turan have been good supporters. Those two and Falcao are the ones who do most of the work. The CB pairing of Miranda and Godin is great..Miranda is one of the...

This.

More than that, with their recent play they will be lucky to get 3rd place.

He's also a good forward and a great compliment for Falcao. He's far better than Adrian, who barcaforum members tried to convince me was better than Alexis last year. :lol:

Alexis is most comfortable in the Messi role and being pushed to the side (along with his injuries) is one reason why he's never been comfortable for very long. I was hoping when we signed Alexis that he'd be used to give Messi a break and to switch off with Messi to split defenses (something...

http://www.football-espana.net/26883/two-sides-diego-costa Good article on Diego Costa, one of Atleti's more underrated players and a glorious thug.

You just missed calls to get rid of Pedro and Sanchez and an obsession with Aguero and Cazorla (I guess Cazorla is the new Cesc then?), he wasn't around long enough to be pushed off the deep end. :(

Well this is the thing; if Messi ever goes down like we all panicked about last week it's one thing, though for all we know Tito has tricks up his sleeves and the small sample size conclusion of no Messi = doom everyone was complaining about after the Benfica match was just an experiment in a...

I'll give him credit avoiding talking about Cesc or anything off topic (that would lead to a racist rant) that allowed him to get away with it for like a good week. I should have got suspicious when he became obsessed with Barca selling Pedro, Villa AND Alexis to buy Aguero and Cazorla; that...

And then the guys actually brought in to score goals - Ibra and Villa, are marginalized because they aren't comfortable playing with someone who needs the ball as much as Messi. Have you not noticed the trend here? But don't worry, all we need to do is buy new expensive flashy forwards to play...
