    Can't see him getting sold for more than 40 million euros. A fee around 25-30 million euros given his contract situation and circumstances would make sense. Kroos (IMO the better player and not a player that almost "just" returned after 400 days out due to a serious back injury) was sold by...

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    Exactly. Many people tend to omit it when they analyze that game. To me this was the crucial factor that contributed to RM not reaching the final again this year. Along with wasted opportunities. Granted you always miss those but a fit RM team at home chasing a win would normally creates many...

    Mateo Kovačić

    Not sure what your problem is? Why should I make any lists? I already gave you a definition of what I consider a top club. I am ending it here as this "discussion" is clearly going nowhere.

    Mateo Kovačić

    My posts should make perfect sense. If Kovacic is able to perform like this on a consistent basis for Inter next season should he stay I imagine that all top clubs in Europe will be interested in him (almost) much like half of Europe want the likes of Pogba, Verratti etc. Yes, there are quite...

    Mateo Kovačić

    Read post 353 where I talk about top clubs. The point remains the same for my part. Of course but there is also a good chance of us being interested in other players more and Kovacic just being an option out of many.

    Lliga: Atletico Madrid - Barca 0-1 !!!CAMPIONS!!!

    I would be happy with just a narrow win and no injuries. I don't expect fireworks today. Winning the league today would be a great thing and then the Depor game could be used as a fixture that pays homage to the team. No nerves either of needing to win that game against a Depor team that is...

    Mateo Kovačić

    We are talking about absolute top clubs and genuine interest here. The point is that I could very well see him stay for another year and I doubt that this would hamper his development as some claim here as he contrary to popular belief is playing a lot this season. In his age and for the good...

    Mateo Kovačić

    Have you looked at the number of minutes that he has played this season? True he has been an unused sub a few times under Mancini and started on the bench a few times but he has played much more overall than he has been sitting on the bench or on the stands. This is not my opinion those are...

    İlkay Gündoğan

    The article says that according to MD's knowledge (they always write that whenever there is some seriousness about the rumor:lol:) he is very much in the race to become our new midfield signing contrary to last summer where he was discarded due to his serious back injury that kept him injured...

    Alvaro Morata

    Sadly I could see that happening because the guy is a declared madridista. You should have seen his interview to Spanish television after the game. He almost sounded sad when they talked about that goal. Not sure if it was serious. Yeah, it's been quite some second half season for him. He might...

    Mateo Kovačić

    I personally, as I wrote earlier, believe that Inter can sell him for at least 30 million euros in the current inflated transfer market. The maximum that I can see him being sold for is 40 million euros but that would almost require more top clubs to be interested in him. So far from what I have...

    David De Gea

    Fair enough. We have to agree to disagree here then. In the current market I can't spot a goalkeeper that RM can realistically buy that is currently as good as De Gea, as young and with such a big potential. I am not particularly worried either. I mean a really good goalkeeper can win you...

    David De Gea

    I watched him during the Atlético days (he was already highly rated back then but was kind of forgotten due to Courtois's great performances after his departure) as well but he is a totally different goalkeeper now. One always has to be cautious about the overhyping of EPL players but in this...

    David De Gea

    De Gea overrated? That's harsh man. I don't watch much PL football (as in games on a weekly basis) but I almost always catch the weekly highlights of the games and the commentators have been praising him to the skies this season and the past one. In the top games that I have seen with Man Utd...

    Penal Madrid

    Actually you would be surprised how many don't. Most view him as a gentleman which he also appears like (even in that interview) but if you dig deeper that's not the case. Thought it was telling that all the blame due to RM's poor results in the past 7 days is pointed at Carlo, the players etc...

    Penal Madrid

    Watched this rather long interview with Pérez the other day. Made during the 2013-14 season. Arguably the biggest mafioso in Spanish football and almost untouchable. It made me think about what a weak control of the media Rosell had in comparison and Bartomeu have. Not only that but Pérez is...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    I think that Mehssi meant that reaching the 18th place (we are currently 4 points behind 18th placed Tenerife) is possible. Not that promotion would be accomplished if we managed to get 4 points in the last 4 games because that would surely not get us out of the relegation zone.

    Marco Verratti

    Can't we kidnap this guy somehow? He is so small that he would fit into a handbag. Those you can carry as personal baggage inside the plane. Laporta might be able to turn something like this into reality. Can't see Barto doing it. In all seriousness he would fit our team like a glove but it...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    De nada. Doable? Definetely. Will it be very difficult? Yes. I tend to be positive by nature although always cautious but I wrote that we would get relegated back in January (around that time) here, so I have to stick to my word. The remaining schedule could have been much easier though. We...

    UEFA Champions League 2014-15

    Missed that detail. That explains it. Of course but basically a 50/50 split is too much. In any case you should be able to sell those tickets for big money. I know for a fact that many more Barça and Juve fans are going to travel to Berlin than those lucky 20.000 or so. Many of them will hope...
