He was never a world class CB to be fair. He just looked very solid under EV. Umtiti before his knee injury was world class. Perhaps just as good as Varane. You really can't compare the two when fully healthy.

Would this team still be near complete bankruptcy with a salary cap? That's all I'm saying.

my point is it would certainly prevent situations like the one with Messi. Messi is making more than 6-7 NBA team combined salaries which to me is insane. That's not even including all the money he gets from sponsors. source: http://www.basketballinsiders.com/nba-team-salaries-at-a-glance/

Players so no single player is played an insane amount and make it more difficult to form super teams. Of course it's still possible with star players taking a paycut like Durant with Warriors and the Heat big 3. Also a salary cap prevents situations like this where a team is stupid enough to...

Don't want to derail this thread completely, but I do find it ironic how all sports in the US (even MLS) have a salary cap on all teams to essentially redistribute wealth. However, in Europe it's basically an absolute free market.

For those that are saying that Messi alone brought us all the marketing revenue, is it still worth to pay him that much? Didn?t CR7 also bring in a ton of money to RM and now Juve also? Does his salary include his contributions to marketing?

Again the issue is of not having a decent striker on the team. A few fixes could make this team a La Liga title contender (decent striker and replace Lenglet with a decent CB).

This made my day :lol:

Willing to bet members of this forum would do a better job investing for Barca than the goons that run our finances

With our recent "luck" we will probably get Sevilla or Athletic Bilbao

Connor himself is about 175 cm which is just slightly taller than Aldo and Mendes

Completely disagree. Connor ate alive a prime Aldo and a prime Chad Mendes who to me were much better fighters than Poirier. I just don't think Connor is as sharp anymore as he was before. His entire fighting style is based on counterpunching and being sharp with them. I think perhaps age is...

Man MMA has to be the most unpredictable sport. Poirier was a scrub to Connor a few years ago. Connor comes back and looks nowhere near as sharp as he was even in the Cerrone fight. Crazy, but I'll take my L. Not sure if he can come back from this. Made too much money so motivation isn't fully...

Only Zlatan can stop Zlatan

There are many many players that look very good for midtable/top teams but turn out shit for us.

Looked motivated which to me is always a good sign with Leo. His problems tend to occur when he doesn't look hungry.

He benefited a lot from Valverde's defensive setup. The midfielders would do a better job covering the CB's too and overall we didn't play as far up the pitch as we do now. He got exposed heavily as soon EV left. He is exposed heavily now because he has to be in situations where he never was...

He fouls a lot in stoppage time, probably three matches in a row now where I remember him makin some dumb foul near 90 mins or dying minutes of extra time.

He is probably done starting for a few months, can see him just be a rotation for Pedri but that's it. He needs consistent game time and he won't be getting that here

Rather have Bartra than this clown.
