I think JamDav1982 is right on this one. Pep never really rated Bartra. The argument that Bartra was not a part of the first team does not stand as players like Thiago, Tello and Cuenca played a lot of games. Also Bartra is older than all of them. I don't understand why Stric got mad... :shrug:

If Diego Lopez and Adan have one. Why not Victor as well?

DAT logic. :icon_neutral: Hercules won 2-0 in Camp Nou. Barcelona won the Champions League. Hercules was the best team in the world.

Anyway, do you, Beast and DonAndres, think that Carvajal is going to be Madrid's starting RB? Because I personally doubt it.

Thiago can play very well the deep midfielder role. He can easily play next to Carrick. I don't know why you consider Thiago as an attacking midfielder, as he never played there for Barca or Spain, opposed to Kagawa, to whom it is his natural position. Anyway, let's hope that he will stay here.

Bartra: "Thiago brings togetherness to the group. While on the pitch you can tell he inspires the team to play and to keep possession." You can even tell it from the TV screen!

If you try to be objective, please don't imagine Peter Crouch doing his trademark robot dance celebration after scoring a header from a corner. :pep:

There is a huge difference and that is Varane's speed and height. Alba and Alves are mediocre defenders, but they get away with it just because of their sheer pace. Bartra in my opinion is a poor man's Pique, without Pique's amazing ball playing ability. Also Bartra is no kid either..He is 22...

Haha, I totally forgot about this guy. There is Moses as well...

Does anybody know why Chelsea bought Schuerrle? Especially, considering that Mourinho said that they will keep Be Bruyne... Are they planning to sell Oscar, Mata or Hazard? Or is it another: -I have a lot of money and I buy players that I don't really need just because I can- kind of transfer?

You keep saying that, but I don't think you know how exactly that would be possible. Last year there was better rotation because Pep was playing the 3-4-3 system. This year Tito kept playing Iniesta as LW and there was still no space for Thiago, because it was Cesc that played. Or do you think...

Although it is not Cesc's fault that the management prefers him over Thiago, there is definitely an element of truth in saying that if Cesc wasn't a part of our team Thiago would play more minutes. I don't know how you can deny it. I hope that they both stay, but that Thiago will get the amount...

I am pretty sure that if we make a good offer they will sell him alright. Cesc, Thiago Silva or Cristiano Ronaldo (and many more) weren't available, but the transfers happened. Barcelona has a 50 mil+sales budget to spend every year... I think we can at least try and buy this guy.(De Gea)

Almost got injured...Poor lad :( He is playing as a midfielder, as well. :detective:

In my opinion De Gea is much better option than Ter Stegen... I don't know so many people prefer Ter Stegen... Who was the player that shot that crazy free kick?

I expected more from Netherlands from the results they had in the two previous games. :( Isco is unstoppable today! Inigo doesn't look like the defender we are looking for... He is not very fast, very tall or very athletic and he is very expensive as well.

De Gea :worthy: Inigo :facepalm: Iscoooo and Muniain!

Morata is very selfish, but Sarabia is not! Nice goal!

No surprises there! If you watch the way he scores for Barcelona as well. He is like our own personal Gerd Muller :pep:

He was perfect tonight. Every coach should get a hold of this game's video and teach young fellas how to play the defensive midfielder position.
