Just another reason to dislike Arda. What's stupid about all of this is Roberto is actually proven to be able to perform in El Clasico and Arda hasn't been proven to perform against anyone. That 40m price tag.

For someone who calls himself Observer you sure do seem pretty damn oblivious...

*shrugs* This is the exact type of thing people said when Mats was conceding goals during Bravo's injury, so...

Rather interesting that this happens immediately after Mats makes waves complaining about not playing. Although poor, I wouldn't blame either goal on him, really.

Forget signing a backup LB. Alba should be our backup LB when we sign a real one.

You know what... Nevermind.

Bringing him on instead of Roberto was stupid. We were already on the backfoot down that flank and subbing in Arda actually made the situation worse. His only contribution in the entire game was taking a shot that was blocked close range. Just criticizing how bad he is isn't making him a...

If he's really going to get Roberto's minutes he's actually causing harm to the team. Subbing him on when he hasn't had an impact on our midfield in four months is a total joke.

If you badmouth a game/players and give examples it's "Why did you bother watching", but if you badmouth a game/players it's "I bet you didn't even watch the game".

Does Sevilla think we're stupid or something?

For some reason that gave me a flash of Bravo and Mats pooling their money together to try and reach that release clause. :lol:

It's actually very likely he would. Certainly more likely than overtaking Bravo.

Two of those are games he should be nowhere near even if he was healthy. This looks to be almost entirely for the Euros, but will he even start?

Dwayne Wade is several times the athlete and physical specimen Mathieu is, though. It's kind of strange to even try comparing them...

Yeah, Mats is much more in the Valdes/Neuer mold that Pep would like. If Mats went to City I can easily see him taking the starting spot.

So the contempt for him only applies if he leaves for City? That actually makes even less sense.

He's not guaranteed to be second fiddle behind Hart, though. Hart himself is very prone to poor spells of form and I can easily see him getting dropped for a CL winning keeper if the opportunity came. It'd certainly be more likely than overtaking Bravo if Lucho decides not to reverse the roles.

You'd have contempt for a player leaving in search of playing time? Lol

I'm not denying any of that. I'm saying I saw this coming the moment I saw these signings and said he should leave as a result, only to be met with "But he's 2nd choice RCB". He could and probably would be a much better player now if he took off the moment he realized he'd never be anything...

The only time we saw Bartra play mainly behind Pique as RCB was when Bartra was our only option for 3rd choice CB. He played next to Pique quite frequently in that time frame as well. After we purchased the Ginger and the Cripple we saw Mathieu become the LCB while Mascherano took up the RCB...
