Sounds like BS to me. Is it a reliable source? Well, we were in shit form that week when RM beat us twice in a row. Remember, we did get a draw against them with Adriano and Masch at CB (and almost got a win). And we were close to making it 4-1 in the 1st leg of the super cup (and then a...

It's not like Valdes is completely irreplaceable. If he wants to leave, let him.

I would prefer Thiago/Cesc IF Xavi's not at 100% or has to play on painkillers or whatever. If he is at 100%, then by all means, he should go ahead and play. Remember, he was bad in the first leg against Milan, as well as the cup game against Real. Like you said though, there's a good chance...

I hope he's back for the PSG game, but I'd rather play Thiago or Cesc than a Xavi who's not at 100% or on painkillers...

Looks like there's a new record he wants to break: score for every team in La Liga. He'd better step it up if he wants to beat Mascherano :lol:

Ah yes, how could I forget. Messi can only score and assist, while Ronaldo can also dive, act and score own goals. Guess Ronaldo is more complete :lol:

More goals with less shots and more assists. He's a better scorer/finisher than Ronaldo and a far better playmaker (with shit finishers around him quite often). I don't understand how people can say that Ronaldo is more complete.

I think it's because he's one of the most available/cheapest options . Not to mention he's young, world class potential, already a great GK, etc, etc. De Gea and Courtois fit that bill as well, but they're likely to be much harder to get.

I hope so too. Tbh, I'd rather have Thiago or Cesc play than a Xavi who's not at 100%, and IMO, it should be able to get us a decent result.

Wasn't that vs Madrid? Don't believe that happened against Milan. If Xavi and Alba are both out, I'm guessing the lineup for the first leg will be something like this: Valdes Alves-Pique-Masch-Montoya Thiago-Busquets-Iniesta Sanchez-Messi-Villa We should be able to get a decent result with...

Damn... really hope he's back for the PSG game. I can see Thiago or Cesc in midfield working though. Xavi can still have a great game right after an injury though, as the Milan game showed.

He could also be a good counter for us to RM and other Mou teams (and cunty teams in general, for that matter)

Now that I know about that 10 game rule, him being promoted makes sense.

And he isn't that red card prone for Spain. The Mou effect maybe? :mou: Or maybe it's just that VDB is good at keeping his players disciplined or something like that. I don't really care about this, since I didn't follow football then, but if we somehow got Ramos, that would be the perfect...

Well, :rosell: did say that there's an RM player he'd like to sign... Such a shame it's never gonna happen, it would be awesome if it did.

Maybe buy him and loan him back?

I believe our budget will be 50. 60-65 if Valdes gets sold, and I'm guessing he will be.

Pepe: that's cute.

I'm guessing we'll use something like this for the first leg: Valdes Alves-Pique-Masch-Montoya (Alba if he's back by then) Xavi-Busquets-Iniesta Sanchez-Messi-Villa We should be able to get a decent result with this lineup IMO. Though Ibra being back and the makeshift defense will hurt us.

Or Pepe... whose resulting dive would have got Suarez sent off...
