    La Liga 14/15

    Corruption is there but with all due respect then you can't compare Spain with Morocco on this front and most others. No offense meant.

    Serie A 2014/2015

    So much for Serie A and Italian football being dead and buried. http://www.forbes.com/sites/bobbymcmahon/2015/05/03/whisper-it-italian-soccer-is-on-the-way-back-and-juventus-is-leading-the-way/ Some good points. It would be fitting if Juventus reached the CL final while either Napoli or Viola...

    I disagree. Busquets is very much capable of doing just that. The thing is that he has not been required to do that. If you want to retain possession, which is not such a crucial element anymore under Lucho, a midfield trio of Busquets, Pogba and Don Andrés would be better than the likes of...

    La Liga 14/15

    El futbol español: jugado por genios, gestionado por idiotas. "Spanish football: played by geniuses, managed by idiots." So true.:lol: RFEF, represented by Villar who has been the president for 26 years, are bitching because they will only receive 4.55% of the revenue from the proposed new TV...

    Barca - Real Sociedad 2-0

    Suárez should definitely be rested or at least be benched. We can't risk him getting suspended for the game against Atlético at the Estadio Vicente Calderón. Pedro definetely deserves a start. La Real have the poorest away record in the league and if my memory serves me right, they have not...

    Douglas Pereira dos Santos

    That's not correct. I can think of Gabi Milito during the 2008-09 season if we are talking about Barça alone. Douglas is a huge joke and a misunderstanding. Said this a few times already but it really annoys me that he is part of the team.

    A distributor? Busquets says ¡hola!:busquets: Rakitic (look at his Sevilla days where he was the key midfielder and distributor) nor Pogba are poor on this front. Anyway you could play with Busquets, Pogba and Don Andrés from the start instead depending on the opponent. A midfield trio of...

    I doubt that anyone here would settle with just Gündogan alone. I for once would buy him alongside Koke if we could get him for 25-30 million euros instead of going all in on Pogba and likely paying 80-85 million euros. I get your drift though. Gündogan alone won't cut it.

    There is no doubt that Pogba has been the better player for the past 2 seasons, that he is almost 3 years younger and that he has a bigger potential. The thing though is that he is also 3-4 times as expensive as Gündogan and he is apparently demanding an insane wage too. Nor is it guaranteed...

    UEFA Champions League 2014-15

    It's the age. Andrea is 36 years old. When you reach that age you tend to become more wasteful and slower in both action and thought. Pirlo's game was always to a large degree about risk taking. If I were Allegri I would only use him as a substitute against RM if Pogba will be ready and play...

    As much as I like Koke, he is not worth 60 million euros. I would only pay that kind of money for players who would truly make a difference. The likes of Neymar, Suárez etc. I personally fancy Óliver Torres a lot as a successor of Don Andrés. Both for FCB and La Roja. A class act and he would...

    Memphis Depay

    Neither of the two were interested. If they were Depay would not be a Man Utd player. Let us not kid ourselves here.

    Memphis Depay

    Clubs like PSG, Bayern, Liverpool etc. were probably interested but Man Utd always looked like his choice considering the fact that Van Gaal is there. That he can earn quite a lot does not hurt either nor playing in the PL. It seems to be the main league of interest for the people of the...

    Memphis Depay

    Bitter of what exactly? Do you see bitterness (lol) in post 107 and 116? Depay would warm the bench at my club. That's not what I was alluding to. What I wrote is that I can't spot Van Gaal's common thread. What is his vision exactly? Whenever I have watched Man Utd they have looked...

    La Liga 14/15

    They will likely sort it out or FIFA will intervene. It's Ángel María Villar (RFEF) and Javier Tebas (LFP) who are fighting as usual. I think that a compromise will be reached otherwise we might be in big trouble considering the upcoming Copa América.

    CL semis: Bayern - Barca 3-2 (3-5 agg.)

    It would be ideal to kill them off quickly. A quick goal and the tie will be definitively over. I am hopeful. Only a monster collapse of epic proportions would deny us that CL final. If Bayern will come out attacking right from the beginning then expect MSN to have a field day if they receive...

    Memphis Depay

    Of course but I can't really spot the common thread. Maybe Van Gaal will surprise me on this front during the summer transfer window and next season. I still believe that you are at least 1-2 seasons away from competing with the "big boys" in the CL at least. Considering the poor state of the...

    Memphis Depay

    That's a good transfer but what will happen with the 80 million euros flop (so far) di María? I can't believe that Man Utd paid that much for him in the first place. Man Utd keeps spending and spending with close to no results to show for.
