Yes, you are always right. How come everyone hasn't figured that out by now? Just like when you said Atletico would be a bigger threat than Barca last season............... He's very good imo.

We should get him.

:gap:

Indeed he did, he was nominated for the Golden Ball for a reason. Madridistas just like to see things in a different way.

Yeah that was the league winning goal wasn't it. Good goal.

Age is a factor.

Fucking hell. Caparros has done a brilliant job. Huge mistake to let him go.

Saw that goal a while back, didn't know he's a Masia product. Cool.

How much money does Malaga have anyway?

I'm kinda hoping they get kicked out in group stages so Messi gets well rested for the season and Argentina gets a new manager early enough for the next World Cup. But knowing AFA they'll probably get a shit manager.

He doesn't need Xavi and Iniesta, he just needs a functioning team around him. He was great for Argentina when they had managers that weren't completely clueless.

The duopolies in Spain and Scotland are nothing like the hegemony in other leagues. It's not just a matter of who ends up winning the league, it's the sheer gap in quality between the top two and the rest. Look at Serie A for example. Inter won five consecutive titles, yes. But many of them came...

What's your definition of a mercenary?

Barcelona and RM took over this year, as Irv posted. ;) It's not a problem, if anything we don't pay our players enough. Iniesta earns less than players like Torres and Gerrard.

Yeah saw that ages ago and didn't find it funny at all. Is this Portuguese humor?

Mascherano left Liverpool for several reasons but money isn't one of them. He accepted a lower wage at Barca. And I don't think Tevez is a mercenary either. Man City is the only club that can afford to pay him his current wage. If he goes anywhere else, he'll have to accept a lower wage. I'm...

He has Dutch nationality, I believe.

Argentina's midfield in 2010 consisted of Messi and Mascherano.
