Good, reliable and consistent performer. Not as flashy, or as elegant as some of the other Spanish midfielders though. He is just terribly unlucky to have been born Spanish in a way, in terms of international opportunities.

Makes our Ibra deal, look almost bearable...

They wanted to get rid of the Copa, so they can concentrate on the La Liga. (survival that is)

We 'll land him. But 60m is too much.

If I am not mistaken. This ban will not allow Suarez to play until 11/02/2012, when Liverpool play United away. How awesome is that? The FA know how to market their product, and Suarez will have all the time in the world to prepare for his revenge against United. How cool is that? Or do...

Even though I consider superstition to be well, nothing more than superstition, I can't help but consider that badge as bad luck... But that is probably just plain stupid.

Yeah, my point being that we should be extremely conservative when it comes to our youth players. The odds are stacked against them. If a couple of them manage to break into the first squad in the next 5 years or so, then that would be excellent, but just don't hold your breath for more Xavis...

But as I perceive it, there never was a 2003 a deal, nor a 2007 deal. The Spanish Clubs negotiate their TV rights individually, and Barca and Madrid were the only clubs capable of demanding more and more from TV broadcasters. The rest could not follow suit (this is the inherent logic of...

Because of Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Cesc, Puyol, Pique, Busquets, Pedro, Valdes, Thiago and their success, people seem to believe that is only a matter of time before more players of this caliber miraculously spring out from La Masia. No matter how good our academies may be, no matter how wise...

Distribution was never even. The case has been, that Real Madrid and Barcelona managed to massively improve their TV deals over time, whereas the rest of the league has more or less stagnated. But there will be a new deal by around 2015. If La Liga manages to get more cash in total, then the...

Where did you find this information? And how did the rest of the league agree on this?

If these guys had to face Barca B, they would ship 6 or 7. ^^

It is amazing how many times the South American teams have managed to win the old Intercontinental Cup. 22 v 21!!!

How was the revenue distributed in the early noughties when Deportivo and Valencia were winning it?

:worthy:

Impossible to tell really. Things can change very rapidly and unpredictably. But as things stand now, there is no possibility of that happening anytime soon But here's one for you Ed. When will Liverpool win their league?

This is the 5th consecutive European victory in this competition. The last European side to lose, were Barca back in 2006, going 1-0 down to Interncional. I hate the sound of that.

That is correct.

This chick is epic btw... :worthy:
