    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    We've played a 4-4-2 diamond a bit this season (a repositioned 4-3-3 basically), it's how Cesc operated as a false 9 towards the end of his time there (late december and january) and Messi has too in recent games. The wingers become wide forwards and running targets, Messi drops into midfield...

    Transfers and Rumours - old thread

    That seems to be a really practical transfer, doubt they can pull it off in January though.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    This :lol: No need to complain about Messi's scoring rate. We all know that when it explodes, it'll really explode.

    Spain

    Should be higher than Reina and Lopez, but it's hard to tell as of now. He deserves to go, though he wouldn't get any playing time.

    La Liga 2013/2014

    And Costa ends his drought, scoring off another brilliant attacking play from Los Colchoneros Then Rayo add a 2nd quickly after to make it 2-4

    Oliver Torres

    Suffered a nasty shoulder injury today vs Rayo, hope he returns soon. :(

    La Liga 2013/2014

    More competition is better, we don't want a Bundesliga situation going on here in la liga. Besides what Atletico are doing is an extremely admirable underdog story, even if they are a threat you can't help but be impressed by what they are doing. Besides if we have the proper reinforcements...

    La Liga 2013/2014

    Atletico by far BTW beautiful team goal for a 2-0 from Arda, smart play from Sosa to assist on his full debut.

    La Liga 2013/2014

    A team with as flimsy a defense as Rayo was always going to be demolished by Atletico

    Athletic Club

    Athletic beat Osasuna 5-1 today. Aduriz with a MOTM performance, Susaeta and Ibai continue to be the most underrated players in la liga, and Sola scored his first goal. We have a safe, 5 point lead for 4th place and with the amount of depth in the squad, CL football looks increasingly likely.

    Seung Woo Lee

    Preseason friendlies perhaps. If Dongou could jump Juvenil B then I don't think Lee will spend more time there than this season. It'll be Juvenil A next season and then probably the B team in 2015/16, which is when the ban will be automatically lifted as he turns 18 if it hasn't already by then...

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    It's just refraining from an official announcement. The board also said that "Neymar is one of the players we're interested in" before we officially signed him, even though we had a deal with him for almost a year before that. Ter Stegen wouldn't have said "no comment" on the Barca move if it...

    Sergi Roberto

    To clear anything up, they weren't directed towards you it was simply a reply to you. You seem sober in terms of your analysis on Sergi Roberto even if you do share a different opinion. I'm just making a comment based on those who rated him because they wanted him to be better than Thiago or...

    Juan Manuel Mata

    An open letter from Mata to Chelsea fans/players/staff: Hi everyone, As you can imagine this is a very important day in my life, and with these lines I would like to express the memories and emotions that come to me as I write. This letter is written from my heart, and first of all I would...

    Munir El Haddadi

    I don't think it's really a good thing to lose a player like that, but there was nothing the club could do and if he wanted to leave then it's his decision, no one is stopping him.

    Seung Woo Lee

    His passing and ability to find/linkup with his teammates is unbelievable for his age as a CF. He knows exactly how to use his teammates for himself and help them, which really shows that there aren't many "flaws" in his game to iron out. He just needs to adapt with each age level until the...

    Penal Madrid

    This attempt for a 4-3-3 is laughable. Hope they drop points and give us some breathing room

    Rafinha Alcantara

    No one's saying he'll dictate the game at Barca, just that he'll maintain his style of play which isn't the same as Cesc or Iniesta in straying that far forward naturally (really that's mainly Cesc nowadays, Iniesta plays in a fairly central position most of the time and doesn't attack much). At...

    Rafinha Alcantara

    He can. If Iniesta-Cesc (two midfielders who play more advanced and with less defensive effort than Rafinha) can play together and succeed, I can't see the reason as to why Rafinha can't play alongside another AM considering he is more suited to do that than either of those two. Besides, as a...

    Rafinha Alcantara

    Not exactly, I'm just saying that he's a player who drives forward from deep and will track back in defense. He's definitely attack minded (although still good at maintaining possession) but he's not the type of midfielder who only roams forward and thus opens us up defensively. This is great...
