The league will be over when they face RM though. It'll be an ultra-motivated Sociedad side (unless they manage to seal qualification by then) playing at home against a Madrid side who I can see playing a second-string lineup and not giving a shit. I can see Sevilla away causing them problems...

Wigan dominating? I'm not watching the match but City have 5 shots on target to Wigan's 0 (17-13 total) according to Goal.

I wanna take advantage of Alba's offensive abilities (he's been better offensively than Alves this season), so yeah. If Alves does start though, it'd probably have to be Alba who stays back. Maybe find a way to make them take turns attacking? I can see something like this working: Alba and Alves...

It worked in the second leg against Milan (with Alba as one of the CBs). And we won't use it all the time, nor will we ever start with it, it's just what'll happen whenever Alba pushes up and Suarez moves to a striker position (which we could need in big games).

Starting budget: 25m (since Neymar's already been bought for 25) Players out: Valdes (12m), Pedro (15m), Villa (12m), Alves (26m), JDS (3.5m), Afellay (10m), Fontas (2.5m), Keirrison (0.75m), Roberto (loan), Rafinha (loan), Muniesa (loan), Cuenca (loan), Bartra (loan) = 81.75m euros Total...

Well, Puyol was playing when we lost 2-0 at the San Siro and lost 3-1 to RM. Masch was playing when we beat Milan 4-0 at Camp Nou (and did quite well besides that chance he gifted Niang). Neither should be starters any more though, Puyol is old, injury-prone, slow (which Pique is as well, which...

He's a great squad player. Extremely versatile (can play in a shitload of positions, etc) and just a damn useful player to have. Not to mention we need the depth. Not to mention those long shots :worthy: :worthy: :worthy: Only problem I have with him is his injury proneness (though something...

Barca and Real do buy from La Liga teams, but they don't buy from each other (except rare cases like Figo). I think that's what people don't like about Bayern, they tend to buy from not only lesser Bundesliga sides but from their biggest competitors (currently Dortmund) as well. I don't really...

PSG's owners would be proud. How about: ------------------------------Neuer/Buffon----------------------------------- Lahm/Alves---------Silva/Ramos------------Hummels/Pique-------------Alba/Alaba ------------------------------Busquets/Pirlo----------------------------------...

I think this loaning youngsters to Ajax thing is a good idea. We should go ahead and do it with Rafinha, Roberto and Muniesa.

Yeah, I have a feeling Messi getting injured had something to do with playing against Celta right after the game in Bolivia.

He's probably our best option. MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Fair enough. I did say I haven't seen much of Bayern. I can still see the 2 attacking FBs thing working with a better CB pairing and better pressing. Maybe try getting them to take turns attacking or something? Alba can be a pretty good defender when he actually defends (see the 2nd leg...

If I had known my post would start this discussion about my post count, I wouldn't have bothered :lol:

Is the Monaco thing confirmed?

A$ Monaco :pep:

Dedicating my 2000th post to the GOAT :D

Yeah, despite my reaction in the previous post, I don't see us not getting a center back. We can't be that stupid :lol:

WHAT? God I fucking hope that's a joke... How reliable is that source? Silva is awesome and all, and I think he might be our best option, but not signing anyone if we can't get him is just crazy. Edit: It's most likely bullshit, but still...

There's no guarantee that Marquinhos or Martinez will turn out like Varane. Besides, Varane didn't become the starter immediately, he needed a season and a half for that. Not to mention that when RM bought Varane, their defense wasn't as shitty as ours is now. We need a new starting CB now, not...
