    Thiago Translantara

    He made errors in his time here but it's obviously not a huge indicator for a young player. Every transfer has a push and pull factor, his was no different. Pep was the pull factor that brought him to Bayern specifically, but it didn't push him out of the club. What did push him out was Tito...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Luis is la liga's best LB, he won't cost anything less than a fortune and would be the caliber of a player to start all games which is impractical for our transfer endeavors. If we were to get a defensive fullback, it'd be under the assumption that Montoya doesn't pan out AND to one day take...

    UEFA Youth league 13/14 - CAMPIONS!

    Whatever happened to that 6'4 CB at Arsenal who came from Barca, I think Ignasi Miquel or something like that? Anyway I haven't heard much about Toral at Arsenal other than him having injury problems and not being that great. Considering the midfield depth they have already and the ones for the...

    Neymar vs Hazard

    The close control does matter. It, along with his natural center of gravity and balance, allows him to change direction more quickly and move with more agility in game play. That's why Hazard is so effective with cuts, close touches, accelerating away, etc. Neymar can go on the occasional...

    Spain

    It was weird, I'd see him linking up well in one moment and then miscontrolling a straightforward pass in another. He isn't a technical wizard but then again neither are Negredo or Torres. Out of all of Spain's strikers, only Villa is adept technically. If I was VDB, monitoring Jese's form...

    Thiago Translantara

    It's understating Xavi in his prime to say that Thiago is that good right now. It's hard to predict how good Thiago can become, but Xavi was just in a realm of his own in terms of passing intelligence and tactical awareness in his prime. Now in a deeper and more conservative role he's not the...

    Thiago Translantara

    Prime Xavi is a huge exaggeration, but he's having a very fine game. Not the best midfielder on the pitch because of the Don, but definitely one of Spain's better players over the night. Probably near Iniesta/Pedro considering that they subbed off earlier, and definitely top 3. He's completed...

    Pedro and Iniesta best players so far quite easily.

    Spain

    Earlier Iniesta was in the center and left area, Cesc was roaming AM, and Thiago/Busquets central mainly. It looked crowded before but now the game is a bit more end to end so there's more space.

    Spain

    :lol: not intentionally bashing Cesc, but there's an overcrowding in the middle with him on right now. Also I agree with cule4life, we could use a chat for a game like this if possible.

    Spain

    Thiago fitting in like a glove, even Costa linking up fairly well with Iniesta when he gets the ball. Thiago and Iniesta is such a good MF pairing, both marauding everywhere and have very slick turns/passing. Cesc seems like an unecessary addition for this lineup today as there's less width to...

    Iniesta!!! Beastly play early on. Really wonder how things are going on between Costa and Ramos :lol: Costa playing slick tiki taka with Iniesta and Alba, barely believing my eyes right now

    WC Golden Boot '14?

    Ronaldo's become a very clutch goal threat in important games for both Portugal and Real, so he's a definite possibility depending on how far they go. Messi could be head and shoulders above anyone, he just has to reclaim the "edge" he had up until 11-12. That's not to say that he's in some sort...

    Saul Niguez

    He's best as a DM, Atletico's heir to Gabi. In defense he's error prone (especially with Rayo's backline) and doesn't have the same tendencies that a natural CB does much like Mascherano. I don't think it's in our best interests to buy him as we have Bartra for a young CB and we probably only...

    GOLLL Morata, great one touch finish from outside the box after a Leno error and now a golazo from Isco too :lol: longshot in between 2 defenders.
