If Pedro goes we won't have backup for neymar until January...
I really doubt this season will be as good as last, more injuries, less motivation, teams figuring us out, repeating is the hardest thing in football.
in the current team what he's doing is great. a guy that can score tons and shows up in big moments. he's already shown he can be more of a messi and also be the main creative player , but doesn't do it much for barca because we have messi and suarez. he's done it for brazil and even barca when...
the other option is to structure it that champions of weaker leagues play strong 3rd place teams from better leagues. you'd never see teams from certain countries again, which would be sad.
the same applies to the top leagues too. the balance of power shifts to a cl club in any league, that's part of what makes it such a presitgious competition.
also the champions from lesser leagues sometimes do well. apoel made the last 16. celtic have made the knockouts three times beating the likes of man u, ac milan and barca aswell.
i like this rule. champions should be rewarded, and teams from lesser footballing nations should have a chance to qualify.
i take it the reason most people are bitching is that valenica have to play monaco, so what? if they are good enough they'll make it.
I'm gonna give Kane a chance, not comparing him to Müller, doubt he'll reach that level, but people thought the same thing about him when he was first starting.
He seems a little different from guys like Austin.
