    Thiago Silva

    I had no clue pace was most important in a good CB

    Neymar presentation

    But they didn't spend 1 billion, they spent 45m (on Lucas). No offense but I think it's pretentious to assume Neymar will offer nothing in return for the money. It may be entirely possible he will be underwhelming, but just as possible that he'll light it up. It's best to hold a neutral view...

    Neymar presentation

    PSG spend 45m on Lucas who also had no experience and he's done well. There have been some fantastic players who have come from SA and succeeded in Europe, with our without growing up in a European club academy. And look what impact players like Paulinho and Fred have for the Brazil NT. I can...

    Transfers and Rumours - old thread

    Targets like this probably get more inquiries and interest than we know about. I don't think they are hijacking all our targets, just going after obvious talent like we are.

    Spain

    I don't really see a problem with Fabregas, but I agree on Mata, he has been excellent this season.

    Confederations Cup 2013 - Final: Brazil 3-0 Spain

    I dont see how, Uruguay have been pretty poor in a few of their matches over the last few months.

    Re-watching Iniesta's goal vs Chelsea

    The technique on that goal was perfect. The ESPN commentator went absolutely ballistic http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xp1992_iniesta-goal-vs-chelsea-champions-league-2009_sport#.UaobFNLVD6U

    Cesc Fàbregas

    idk then, can't remember if the cry for CF's was as strong at the time, or if people just didn't think Cesc could fit into our slower tempo style. At any rate I'm with you because I see the positives he brings this club.

    Best "finisher"

    Amazing goal. idk why I never saw Messi as a particularly excellent finisher, probably because I focus so much on his dribbling ability to set up his shot chance. Eto was very clinical. Great timing as well in high pressure situations. I always saw Villa as one of probably the top 3 finishers...

    Friendlies

    That's true. And I'm not surprised about their coach, San Marino have one of the smallest player pools in the world I hear. Plus they are ranked below 200 iirc. What are the political motives? Not really familiar with Italy's football association or politics.

    Cesc Fàbregas

    I wonder if it was because of the transfer fee and drawn out saga. Seems like alot of users here have a strong disdain for drawn-out, hyped transfers. See: Neymar

    Ludovic Giuly

    I can do it. Just look at Sanchez Buy a player with pace. Never use pace.

    Cesc Fàbregas

    Pretty much bang on though at least he contributes a decent amount.

    Transfers and Rumours - old thread

    We could always just troll RM and give them Rafa instead. they would be none the wiser im sure.

    Cesc Fàbregas

    That's the issue with taking him out of Arsenal and trying to press him into the Barca mold again. But I was very impressed with Cesc in his debut season while many were slating him. I think he's had a tougher time this season for sure even if his assist #s are up. But I love the extra attacking...

    Friendlies

    That was my first thought but San Marino are soooo small compared to Italy, you would think that a year out from the WC they would be playing some significant friendlies. And I'm sure SM don't like walking out to get their asses handed to them.

    Radamel Falcao

    If it's any consolation, recent history is showing us that big-spending clubs may find domestic success but rarely reach the heights they are shooting for on the European tournament level. Chelsea may have on Europa league but I doubt that was Abramovich's goal when he fronted the cash for...
