    Real Madrid (old thread)

    because despite the increased interest after the World Cup, top teams were hesitant to pay 13m for someone that would cost 6m in six months and then 0m in twelve. Madrid clearly decided that paying 13m and beating everyone to him would be worth it due to his talent, hence they made the move.

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    you're conflating two separate points, one is right and one is wrong. in the last 10 years, Barça has started to show the fruits of Cryuff's long-term strategy. the work of Rexach and Beniages is starting to be seen in the first-team. and now that we're on that carousel, I don't see us getting...

    Martin Caceres

    two things: 1. he needed two years of being a regular disaster for Juve and Sevilla before he found his groove. we couldn't have afforded him that kind of time. 2. his success is coming in more defensive teams, and mostly at fullback. both of those things means he had to leave to make good on...

    it should be the Arab Youth Protestors as they actually managed to overthrow corrupt systems of government. they affected real change. the 99 percent are just sitting around complaining a lot; I support their cause, but they're going about this in entirely the wrong way.

    Neymar - v2

    as a player in South America, you can't get much more substance than winning the Copa Libertadores. I know he's not as good as his hype, and would need to seriously improve his work-rate if he ever came to Europe, but you should stop hatin' on the kid because he has a stupid haircut and was...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    yes and he has only really excelled as a central forward. it's not about having experience playing there, it's about where he looks most natural. and he does his best work in the middle. his has great horizontal freedom and that is part of why he excels, but he's nearly always putting in work...

    Jordi Alba

    exactly. I mean, the 33 y/o Abidal and the 26 y/o Adriano are much better ages to allow Grimaldo and later Fran to eek into the first-team.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    dominant? fuck outta here. Coates was dominant. Lugano was dominant. Muslera, Caceres, Rios, Maxi, Perez... these motherfuckers were dominant. Alvaro, Suarez and Forlan took turns in being the dominant force in attack. and for sure of those 3 Suarez was the most impressive (although Forlan...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    so, you gonna admit he's not suited to our team because he plays centrally? or do I haveta bring it up a few more times? not denying his class, especially lately where he's been ballin' out of his fuckin' mind, but it'd be a huge risk to try and assimilate him into our Trident, just like Aguero...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    you look at players like Asexis and Pedro, and you see guys who regularly work their magic around the edges of the width of the box, and even beyond that in genuine wide areas. they can operate centrally, but primarily they don't, and that is why they are such a superb fit with Messi. even Villa...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    not in the box, within the width of the box. it's a horizontal issue, not a vertical one. that is why I brought up Aguero, he's also a player that does his work in a central area. and we already have The Best Player in The World to do that, and then Asexis backing him up if he got injured. so...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    he wouldn't fit in at all. where would he play? as a wing-forward? he doesn't peel wide like Villa was prone to, he does nearly all his best work within the width of the box, so why bring him in to play wide? it'd be like bringing in a less talented more consistent and cunty version of Aguero. a...
