I have a feeling this thrashing will make him a better coach.

Bartra isn't a natural RB. He'd be a huge downgrade on Alves in that position. I agree that Alves isn't what he used to be, but we can't bench/sell him just for the sake of it. If we bench/sell him, we need to start someone better in his place.

Weren't we trying to buy Luiz? That shows that we had enough money.

Really hope Atletico wins. They deserve it. They certainly deserve it more than any of the other 2 teams left. Also, this is probably the best chance they'll ever have to win it.

Fixed.

Agreed.

No need to play like Chelsea or Stoke, but we shouldn't be slaves to possession either. Possession isn't the only way to play the game.

I can already imagine a Real-Chelsea final... 120 minute borefest with Chelsea winning from a last minute corner or penalties. #GoAtletico

Hope Atletico wins it. If Chelsea goes through, I have a feeling they'll win :puke: Better than Madrid winning I guess...

Maybe they both need each other.

Anyways, either tiki-taka has been found out, or Bayern's current team simply doesn't fit it.

So much for us not challenging for the CL for a while, eh? ;) Anyways, I agree with you. I just hope the board does their job this time...

Cycle? They made 2 CL finals, but they weren't that good before 2013. The 2013 team was a completely different one than the 2012 team.

He could just be attending out of respect. It's not like he has anything else to do.

No worries. We have a 34 year old Xavi :zubi:

Benatia would have been better for around the same price, perhaps lower. I wouldn't be too pissed if we got Laporte though, he should at least be a great buy for the future, plus he'd be an immediate improvement to our current defense (not that that's saying much), even though he won't be as...

Isn't 36m his buyout clause? Which means we're not dealing with them, just paying his buyout clause. If this is true, of course.

Bartra starting RB? :lol: inb4 we pay 40m to his father and the deal ends up being worth 130m somehow.

He's not worth 36m, but let's face it, these days, hardly any player is worth his price. I'd be fine with getting him. Better than spending it on Luiz at least.

:zubi:
