    Xavi Hernández

    There is still a chance to make money from the loaned out Hleb, Caceres, Henrique, Keirisson (did i forget someone?) ... even if its rather slim

    Dmytro Chygrynskiy

    Well yeah, its hard to tell what other transfers the Chyg transfer prevented, esp. as there werent too many names highly discussed. It was basically down to Masch and Villa, and both were above 25M. Maybe they even didnt bother to negotiate over other players b/c their money was saved for Chyg...

    Dmytro Chygrynskiy

    In regards to what i wrote in the other thread and to clear things up, my criticism isnt solely directed towards Chryg. Even more, esp. when i use the transfer sum as key argument, its directed towards the decision makers much more. If a 25M signing, esp. a defender (and in all honesty, how...

    Dmytro Chygrynskiy

    I actually go even further. I not only expect him to perform, but to do so right away. 25M is a huge sum bound to him now, and it should give return asap. Its not a player in the 5M region that you can speculate on.

    Dmytro Chygrynskiy

    Just watched it. Of all his actions in the 1st half there were only two good ones: those two long balls on Maxwell and Bojan. The rest was mostly backpasses on Pinto (even some unprecise ones), a few sidepasses, a few mispasses, a few fouls, a few missed tackles and a few scenes were he 'was...

    Jonathan Dos Santos

    Actually i hardly noticed him, besides that one great pass on Henry.

    Xavi Hernández

    Xavi looked quite unfocussed tonight. Had a couple of easy losses and lacked those special passes. He might just be exhausted. Hopefully.

    Sergio Busquets

    Screwed up horribly on one occasion that could have lead to a penalty with a different ref. But yeah, he had some great moments otherwise, both offensively (strnog runs and movements) and defensively with great tackles. I never seen his talent as obviously as tonight, and it gets even clearer to...

    Who will win the World Cup ?

    England. Cold weather; best coach; strong squad with few weaknesses (lack of strong forwards if any); key players in their best age; very solid and constant performance, yet unspectacular and thus a bit overlooked; less pressure than the big favorites etc.

    Best World Cup Ever

    I respect their culture, i dont ask anyone to forbid the vuvuzelas or anything ... or did you see me do so? But the thing is still that the sound IS highly annoying, much more than the crowd in 2002 (which i actually didnt really notice tbh).

    Europa League win or Semi-final Champions League?

    losing in the cl semi means that you were competing in the highest club event, which is what you should strive for

    Best World Cup Ever

    yeh, those vuvuzelas are prolly gonna hurt ... lets hope it doesnt waste our WC experience ... or maybe the TV stations are gonna put some kind of filter over the match sound ...

    Hehe, i think i still have the panini sticker album from 82, hidden somewhere in my parents cellar ... fricking hilarious to go through it after all those years passed ... those beards and haircuts ... insanity! ;)

    Best World Cup Ever

    Nah, he played in 94, where he even scored twice iirc, so Atletico was willing to buy him from Bayern (for more that they got him for!). I think he participated in 98 as well, but w/out any noticeable contribution as far as i remember. Hm ... i guess 94 wasnt to bad either ;) Oh wait ... it was...

    Best World Cup Ever

    1982 was my first WC and its prolly the shady, somehow romantic memories that make it the best for me. The match between Italy and Brazil (with Zico, Socrates, Falcao etc.), the penalty shootout in the semi vs France and the lost final vs Italy, where i won 5 DM from my Grandma (which was a...

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    transfermarkt.de has it too, but they got it from Europolitan (whatever that might be). Shows how bad the Bayern management currently is after rejecting a 62M+Bosingwa offer this summer and after Ribery basically didnt play or perform for Bayern this season, which shouldnt have been a suprise...

    HOF's worst eleven to wear the Barcelona jersey in this decade.

    I never understood how Barca could have bought Andersson. You didnt have to see much of him to know that he was slow like a slug. It worked out for Bayern, that played very deep back then with their CL winning squad (they basically countered everyone out), where he was allowed to work withing a...

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    Ah i see. Then i was wondering about the absence of Bayern there, until i found out that they never won the euro supercup ... suckers ;) Must be almost 20 or so. Several supercups and world cups added to the 9 cl and 2 uefa cups. Still silly to still distinguish between UEFA cup and the cup...
