But will Adriano's transfer affect his status as a B team player?

Yup, look at what happened with Rafinha, got loaned to a mid-tier club that needed him with a coach that believes in youth (Think what you will of Lucho but he started Rafinha and Munir over Pedro) and now we have a player who just might become a starter for us in the coming years.

Is that still confirmed what with Adriano's transfer?

Well this season will likely be the decider of whether he'll have a normal football career or a Ronnie type one, Ronaldinho stopped caring everytime he won something big, PSG plays great first two seasons....wins world cup, Barca plays great first two seasons.....wins CL and says fuck it. We...

This has to be bs, if not that means Lucho doesn't like either Mathieu or Vermalaen.

We have to stop praising Busi, clubs might be catching on to how good he is :lol:

Looking at countinho again I like him even more, his creative skills and what not aren't something we really need since rafinha/messi/neymar/iniesta can all match/beat him that (maybe not rafinha but can't know until he plays more) but that shot of his that rises and dips from crazy and that he...

Unlike Valencia Pedro brings a scoring threat and is literally made to run onto through balls from a wide position and has both feet to use. He'd be perfect imo.

I was thinking the same thing, honestly its probably best to let go of all the "older" players and stick with the new guys.

Aint that something :lol:

Jese and Isco are different, both are young unlike Pedro. And both are in positions of theoretical need for Madrid in the coming years, Jese as Ronaldo's Replacement and Isco in midfield (Modric isn't getting any younger). Although I'd rather Isco leave and come to us :D

Rafinha for Messi is the perfect sub because he is the only one that can play like Messi does on the wing. With pedro there the creativity would shift to either neymar or the midfield. On the left could be a problem BUT Suarez can play on the Left if needed Messi in the middle and Rafinha on the...

Yup at this point its easy to say that he was worth all the trouble. Simply wouldn't be able to compete at such a high level with Pedro/Alexis on the left. And he's only going to get better.

The difference is clear. Although to be fair Neymar got served some of those goals on a plate :lol:

Ik it was just preseaon but Rafinha already showed that he's up to the task of deputizing messi if need be better than Pedro can on the RW atleast, we'll miss him on the left for sure but only until Turan gets here and Sandro just might be stepping up at the moment so you never know.

Sell him, buy him back if he improves. Theres simply no space for him and he doesn't fit the current RW mold, the only players who do are Rafinha and Halilovic. Halilovic is currently better than him imo and Rafinha is FAR better than him he's on a whole other level than those two. Adama would...

That is true. He should have had one or two goals so far this pre-season. Hopefully he can get on the scoresheet soon, I would hate to see him shipped off for being unlucky.

Even though i thought Munir had more of the "it" factor, that factor doesn't matter if he doesn't step up and Sandro is stepping up right now. If he keeps playing like this he'll get more time and improve. He's surely taken the lead over Munir in the race for the first team spot at the moment...

And during the WC Hazard stood there and let his teammates do the work while Neymar quite literally carried his side forward and got a broken back for it.

The irony of it all. Came as one of the next big things only to feel crushed by the weight of Messi then finally clawing his way up to a good level and get sold for a guy who just got done bitting a chuck out of an italian :lol: Also to Morten's defense, we do have Messi which makes things a...
