If Lucho doesn't want to compete for another treble, then yes. :mou:

Two years. Hope it's not true, price would be a rip-off. He's easily worth 35M or more.

Actually the most likely scenario for Ronaldo to get the award. No way Messi would win if he went to jail even if Ronaldo didn't score for the rest of 2015. :lol:

Thank God he is not. UEFA will still try everything to make Ronaldo win. Don't be surprised if the voting deadline is extended again. :lol:

Well, Ronaldo managed to win the Balon D'Or in 2013 after a trophyless season with RM while beating a player that was an instrumental part of a Treble winning team. Sounds awkwardly familiar.

Who cares?

They were pretty great to watch when they went unbeaten for three months. At the time people were even talking about Liverpool being a serious contender for the CL spots as well. Seems that one freak result at the last day makes a team horrendous throughout a season... ;)

Basically just pick two of Gündogan, Kovacic, Oli Torres and Tielemans. Not that difficult...

Clear foul from van Nistelrooy on Carvalho btw. And even with that goal counting it would've been 2-1 for Man Utd and as a result, extra time. Not exactly an impossible scenario for Porto to go through. Even the "Invincibles" legend wasn't as clean. They pretty much just played for a draw...

Lol

Good signing. Think about our last Sevilla signings and what they've brought to us. Alves and Keita in 08/09 -> Treble Adriano in 10/11 -> CL + La Liga Rakitic in 14/15 -> Treble Vidal in 15/16 -> :pep: :worthy:

Good point. Probably because (a) EPL fanbois - going unbeaten in a league where "everyone can win" is more worth than in other leagues that are "two teams leagues at best" - and (b) it's Arsenal's biggest achievement of the last 15 years or more. Considering they went trophyless for nearly 10...

Yeah, but in the end they are an underachieving team considering they are regarded as the best Premier League team of the last 20 years (ahead of United 07/08, United 98/99 and Chelsea 04-06) yet achieved way less than those three. Some even claim they could go toe to toe against prime Barca. :lol:

Agreed. The "Invincibles" might as well go down as the most overrated and overhyped side of the last 15 years or so. If they were so invincible, why couldn't they win more than just the Premier League? Especially in a CL season where Porto and Monaco were the finalists. Quite ironic that they...

Honestly can't see him trying to mark Messi at the first goal. Better angle: AlarmingScientificDeermouse He's much more leaning towards Rakitic. Obviously you could argue that Vidal lost Iniesta and Pirlo made a really bad decision to step forward at the moment of Neymar's pass because he...

Where did I say that? Please stop claiming stupid things as such. This has no bearing at all on whether I want him here or not since I didn't draw any conclusions from him losing his marker and didn't even say that he was reponsible for the goal. I'm just disproving the following statement...

He was marking Rakitic but lost him in the end. The goal is not his fault alone but he could've prevented it.

Agree. People saying that he was physically dominant last night have to keep in mind that he was up against the likes of Iniesta, Rakitic, Dani Alves and Busquets who aren't physical at all. Furthermore, the notion that our football is much more direct is vastly exaggerated. Against top teams...

And how exactly is a player rumored to go for 100M underrated? It's not that Pogba is underappreciated here - pretty much everyone agrees he's a good player - but rather that many would not want to spend this huge amount of money for one single player.
