You keep banging on about how they're better, yet there is no proof of how they'd fare in Barca's system where they'll be left literally on their own 70% of the time instead of being helped defensively by Arbeola, khedira, Alonso and Di Maria. Ramos is a very good defender who is prone to a...

The thing is, your assertion is baseless when this amazing Madrid defence concede more or less the same amount of goals as Barca over the past couple of seasons where its been at its absolute worst (playing DM's as makeshift centrebacks, Pique in rotten form, puyol out all the time), despite...

He gives them balance yes. He's solid, in that he doesn't venture forward aimlessly and will give you a 6 or 7 out of 10 defensively more often than not. Carvajal has a higher ceiling than Arbeola, but all things considered, he isn't a significant upgrade on him at this point, if he is at all.

Disagree, Madrid are not as adventurous as Barcelona generally and that is a huge factor, in almost every big game(under mourinho at least) they sit back and hit on the break, which means plenty of bodies in their half to help defend. They also play with 2 Defensively minded midfielders, Barca...

There's no way a defence that conceded 42 goals last season( more than Barca's defence at its absolute worst by the way) has a "much better" defence than Barca, that's just nonsense. The jury is still out on Carvajal by the way, Arbeola might be shit going forward, but he's very solid...

I still don't believe it until I read an official statement from Madrid's website, like this seems like one big joke/troll or whatever, I feel like I'm in a twighlight zone. Like I know Madrid have done some batshit crazy deals in the past but this? This is absolutely incredible, this IMO will...

Pep trying to play the Barca style with Bayern is setting himself up for failure IMO. They don't have the players to play it as well as Barca, it will be an inferior version of the Barca team at its pomp that teams were starting to get a hang of anyway, except they can't keep the ball as well...

Moyes on Fabregas: "I can't tell you if there will be another bid.'' Moyes on Fabregas: "I never at any time said I knew we would get him. I just said we had made offers. They have been rejected." Sounds like he's given up.

To be fair, it's only his first competitive game so maybe not wise to make judgements this quick. However, from his 2 years in the first team at Barca I couldn't help but feel he was overrated. He has never taken the game by the scruff of the neck or anything like that to warrant the hysteria...

He's a disaster waiting to happen at DM, what the fuck was Pep thinking, he's taking his mad scientist steeze to another level. Martinez, Bastian and Gustavo are better than him in that position. He'd be fighting with Muller, Shaquiri, Kroos and Goetze for the two positions higher up the...

Thanks!

At a press conference or....? Any links?

The same could be said of Pep.

FCBarca, do you think Pep is absolved of blame considering.. -The fact that Cesc was signed under the Pep regime -The fact that Thiago was complaining about playing time WHILE Pep was Barca manager -The fact that the release clause was stipulated WHILE Pep was Barca Manager..

If it was him they'd have announced it today.

Ok, so Tito gives him the games, its up to 60%. Buyout clause now 90 million, what the past week showed us was that Pep clearly wanted him anyway it panned out. Bayern aren't going to pay anymore than 30 million for him, considering how desperate he was to play for Pep they would have been able...

Excellent post. Sadly, you're wasting your time as it'll be ignored, it's like talking to a brickwall. Its absolutely mindboggling how you can present people with FACTS like this and yet, they keep spouting the same rebuttal, but hey ho...

If the player wants to move they have no option but to sell, for what price is another story.

Sorry, I quoted the wrong person, I was responding to this Hamzah quote..

It's a pathetic excuse, if everything went perfect for him, he'd get between 40-50 games at Bayern. Last season he got 36 games here, EVEN after missing 10 plus games, I'm not buying that.
