Premier League 2013/14
Haha I didn't understand what you meant at first, Thanks for the compliment :) -

Premier League 2013/14
The team isn't considerably suffering because of it, that much is clear. Comparing Chelsea's position this season with last season doesn't really spell out a lot of truth since there was a lot of managerial turmoil in the previous fall/winter. Look at Chelsea at the end of last season with how... -
Premier League 2013/14
Mourinho should've built on what was there before by adding his own contribution to the squad and tactics, not be completely rigid in his methods and as a result hurting the team in some ways. What was his purpose for bringing in several unnecessary players like Schurrle, Willian, and Atsu for... -
Premier League 2013/14
If he does leave, it should be to a club with a working project (not sure if Inter qualify as that yet). PSG could easily fit him and would be able to pay top dollar, but personally I'm hoping for a miracle move to Atletico, though I know it's not realistic. They need a creative #10 to build... -
Premier League 2013/14
It's horrible to the players really. He could've tweaked the previous system a bit more to enhance the roles of Oscar, Mata, and Hazard in the trident and then buy a new forward to fit it all together. Instead he opted to play favorites and stacked up even more attacking midfielders (Schurrle... -
Premier League 2013/14
Mata hasn't been the same player in Mourinho's system and after being stripped of all confidence on the bench. As of now, I don't see much left for him at Chelsea to be honest. He has been under-performing and doesn't get the time he deserves for a player of his class. He should transfer... -
Alexis Sanchez
Loving the way he's played this season. That video was great, especially seeing how the entire stadium erupted after his golazo against Madrid. His overall game has improved 10x since last season and I hope he recovers the goalscoring form he had earlier (not that he lost it, just going through...- DonAndres

10 - Lionel Messi - v3
Perfect timing for the return of Leboakatio, another brilliant tribute video right before Messi's comeback. Hope 2014 brings a boatload of new magical moments for Leo and that he succeeds with Barca and Argentina. -
Athletic Club
Athletic have a fairly good hold on 4th place right now being 4 points ahead of Sociedad and 5 ahead of Villareal. They might falter with some tough games on the horizon but I can definitely see them maintaining this league position if guys like Benat and Aduriz return to form.- DonAndres

Barça's Transfers and Rumors
His passing and vision are great and he is very intelligent positionally and in controlling the tempo. He plays kind of in between Xavi and Busquets right now but IMO he'd benefit greatly from being pushed up to a free dictating CM role instead of a pivot. His linkup and movement is extremely... -
Barça's Transfers and Rumors
Well Cesc and Iniesta do a lot more than Xavi defensively (less than Gundogan would) and Tito has proven as a coach that small-medium games can be dominated even without a team that presses like dogs. Of course the team should and do press and cover a lot more than last season, but we're not at... -
Barça's Transfers and Rumors
Sumlit's idea of Gundogan->Samper does make a lot of sense when explained, very thorough and sound logic, but I don't see it as the only possibility and it is a bit more complicated for the inclusion of both young midfielders. As Xavi starts declining, I think we all agree that we don't... -
Barça's Transfers and Rumors
It's been proposed before that Busquets shifts forward but I really don't see it. Xavi is much more mobile, constantly shuffling around and controlling all the passing play. Busquets doesn't move much relying on his positioning to fulfill his duty. Busi is intelligent enough to handle that role... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v3
Messi posted this on facebook, showing some of his recovery training. -
Cristian Tello
High praise for a player who's really only useful in 1 out of 5 possible scenarios. Tello is a player with a specific purpose but not well rounded like Alexis and Pedro who offer enough to be starters. His only edge is exploiting pace vs high lines which isn't a particularly common occurrence...- DonAndres

Premier League 2013/14
Not my proudest moment :lol: I liked Aspas a lot and figured he'd do better with better service at Liverpool whereas at Celta he carried the team completely. Nevertheless a prediction that went very, very wrong :p -
Valencia
The stadium project would probably be put on hold initially but with the money coming in they'll likely continue it at a later time. I heard that Bankia would accept the deal around 12 days after it was proposed which would make it executed without much trouble. Lim's offer agrees with all of...- DonAndres

Valencia
Peter Lim looks set to invest 700 million euros into Valencia which would wipe out their debt, help fund a huge influx of transfers, and pay for their stadium plans. New coach with a new owner means things will probably turn around completely at the club. This won't be like Malaga because...- DonAndres
