It's not like they sold him on the cheap. They got 30 freakin' million euros, for a player who is worth 20. Max. Let alone the fact that he had a release clause on his contract that allowed for him to be bought for around 22m. And stupid English clubs did not take advantage of that.

Can you get a better sponsor than that?

Could have been much better.

Most probably.

Quite promising this Alcantara is. Is it not possible that we now possess the top 4 midfielders in world football?

Definitely, the defending by the Villarreal players in that 1st goal was terrible, it's as if they all expected the other to do something.

What clubs are participating in...

Mediocre player, has never scored a single goal against Stoke. Offload him already. A loan deal to AS Roma would be the right way to go.

I have agreed that La Liga has its fair share of problems, especially the massive gap between the Big 2 and the rest. But this is used by many, to dismiss La Liga in general, forgetting that all the other major leagues in Europe (bar the ultra-wealthy EPL, whose problems will soon surface as...

You twist my words as always. You say you have a passion for Spanish football, well I certainly hope that that is the case, because up to now, most of your posts have been focusing (and exaggerating) the negative aspects of it, and virtually nothing at all about the its strengths. I have...

Precisely, leagues, and European football go through cycles. This is a Barca/Madrid cycle in Spain, and Man U/Man C cycle in England. It will not go on forever.

Thiago Messi Cesc *Iniesta was pretty darn good as well. Keita was the only player that disappointed, I think that his time with Barca, is fast running out.

I have heard that Bate Borissov are interested in Hleb, not sure he is good enough for them though.

If a team like Barca have space for team action for a player of Maxwell's quality (or lack thereof) then there is something wrong with the world. But we at least should get something for him from AC Milan, but with their stinginess, that seems unlikely, better loan him to some Villarreal or...

He looks good technically, but still has a way to go. I have to watch more of him to have a complete opinion.

So which league do you approve of then?

Look at rule "C". And even if what you are describing were to actually happen, then it would still be preferable than the current of situation of teams like those Arsenal and Chelski that are filled with foreigners. If Chelski, Citeh and Arsenal were allowed to only have 3 foreigners each, then...

So what is it that you want to see being done Wolfe? You want Barca/Madrid to give their money to the rest of La Liga?

Well, there are thousands of reasons for that rule to be brought back.

In very broad terms, I would say the following rules should be enforced for European football to become better. 1) A maximum of 3 foreign players. (naturalised citizens would also count as foreigners) 2) A 50% squad requirement for club-raised players to be made mandatory. 3) Salary caps...
