    Martin Montoya

    I am not rulling Montoya out and I have been one out of many fans that have not understood Luchos treatment of Montoya considering the poor form of Alves (to put it mildly) and the laughing stock that this Douglas is. Yet as I wrote then I am not entirely convinced by Montoya at all. Especially...

    Martin Montoya

    Maybe. Not entirely convinced of that though. It's not so much his crossings. It's just that he is not very convincing when going forward. Carvajal for instance is light years ahead of him on this front. Probably has a lot to do with confidence, trust and consistency as well. Yet to be honest I...

    FC Barcelona history

    Thank you mate but I was more thinking of social media here. Why? Because I have contacted them before by email (I am a socio) with other issues and they did not reply. I might have been unlucky though. Calling them would probably be going overboard a bit. I will try again nevertheless.

    Premier League 2014/15

    Liverpool is a perfect example of what bad management and lack of foresight can do to a absolute top club. In 1990 (the last time they won the league title) there was Liverpool and everyone else in England (almost). Nowadays Liverpool is more famous for being the laughing stock of rival fans. I...

    FC Barcelona history

    Can anyone help me contact the department of FC Barcelona that deals with managing their webpage? The case is that they have made a small mistake on their English webpage (also Spanish) regarding the Copa Eva Duarte. More precisely then they have omitted the Copa Eva Duarte trophy that was won...

    Penal Madrid

    LOL. You have no idea of knowing that and once again the transfer ban happened under Rosell's tenure not Laporta's. This is extremely simple yet you omit it. Not my problem. Read again. I said that we are entitled to expect more for the reasons I gave. That does not equal expecting another...

    Penal Madrid

    The club was not following the rules. Hence they were punished. Not under Laporta's tenure but under Rosell's. It's this simple. The current board is to blame. Not "far more difficult". We still remain an absolute top club and have all the right tools to succeed once again. You know very well...

    Martin Montoya

    Every other option is better than Alves currently (almost) but Montoya is nothing special to be honest. He is usually a stable performer that is above average defensively but is very average offensively. I would not regret him leaving had it not been for the "excellent" transfer ban that the...

    Penal Madrid

    Does not matter. The transfer ban did not arrive during his tenure. How so? Nobody is ever to blame for everything nor can anybody be credited for everything in terms of success but the current board is to blame for a HELL lot of the current ills at the club. That is undoubtedly the truth...

    Penal Madrid

    A very poor recognition that came after ridiculous criticism of Laporta. No I am not. I wrote earlier in this very thread (a few minutes ago in fact) that success is impossible to sustain at all times. Laporta's 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 seasons were a living proof of that. Yet you fail to...

    Penal Madrid

    I don't see you challenging the facts that I wrote at all. Nor are you able to give the deserved credit to Laporta for his instrumental work for the club that every blind man can recognize. How do you reach the conclusion that I want Laporta back in 2016? I never commented on that. To answer...

    Penal Madrid

    Please don't be silly. You sound like a Rossell apologist. Can any senior user here confirm that this is indeed the case? Because that's what I am likely to conclude from your two posts just in this thread. Ridicolous claim. There is always an element of luck involved in sport. Now before...

    Penal Madrid

    Yes and who appointed Pep? Yes, you guessed it right. No other than Laporta himself mate. The past 10 years of unprecedented success that we as fans have enjoyed is largely thanks to Laporta and his team. Nobody should be able to deny that. Laporta was not running the club into the ground...

    Penal Madrid

    Zubinútil has probably never even seen Kroos play. Pérez recently stated in a interview with Marca (I am fluent in Spanish) that Kroos was bought BEFORE the World Cup. Most likely talks were already very advanced long before Lucho was appointed in May as any club could negotiate with Kroos and...

    Penal Madrid

    Far too soon to conclude that yet your current run is amazing. 22 consecutive victories while averaging almost 4 goals on average in all of those games. Insane. 4 consecutive victories from equaling the "world record" of Ajax. The team seems more stable and happier than ever. Ancelotti has to...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    He is not yet running riot which has mainly to do with the adoption process, him being out for 4 months and most importantly the role of Messi in this current team. Had Messi not been there Suárez would have probably scored more goals. Anyway judging Suárez by only the number of goals that he...

    Bundesliga

    You don't have to state the obvious. "Some people" here are mostly local Germans. Does not change the facts I wrote. Besides I was referring to the average neutral football fan when I wrote that. I doubt that their prime interest is whether Leverkusen or Schalke 04 ends as a distant 3 or 4 team...

    Bundesliga

    "Who will win the Bundesliga this season?" Is that even a serious question?:lol: Dortmund, the main rival of Bayern München, is currently "only" 30 points behind after 17 games! Pathetic is it not? Imagine FCB being 30 points behind RM after just 17 league games. The Bundesliga, as much as it...

    La Liga 14/15

    Paco has not proven his worth at any top club and his Rayo team is extremely naive tactically wise. Not really the sort of "experiment" that we need to take in case the club fires Lucho which would only happen due to lack of success on the field. What we need is something that RM realized back...

    Hello everyone. I just joined today but I have occasionally been following this forum since 2008 and I have been a fan of FCB pretty much since my early childhood. Almost for 15 years now. Can somebody tell me why I am not allowed to post yet? I have made 4 posts in 4 different threads but I...
