What about the Dortmund rumours? Surely for him it's the best decision (footballing-wise, not financially):
Lewa
Isco-Reus-Kuba , with Reus-Isco rotating, all of this under Klopp.
Yes. The rotation between the three would be delicious once Neymar and Tello improve. Tello has the potential to be world class, but this point last season I was saying the opposite so I can see where JamDav1982 is coming from...
Vilanova won't guarantee Thiago more playing time than he did few weeks ago. Coach thinks he has been honest. Player will now decide. [md]
If this is to be believed and Thiago leaves, it'll be my breaking point with Tito.
Yup, very optimistic offer for a world class proven striker and a very good young talent who performs on the rare occasion he gets the chance. Almost insulting that this offer is just for one of them, then again it could be just paper-talk.
That'd be fine by me, losing him for 18m would be a disaster. He deserves more playing time anyway, and Xavi needs to play less games in order to maintain his brilliance for semi-final time (both CdR and CL).
Just wondering, did we ever get an official confirmation about the 18m release clause? I mean Tito said he didn't know it exists, but that didn't really confirm it does exist... was there anything else apart from newspapers' claims?
David Silva? He has to be the most inconsistent and over-rated footballer in the Premier League. I'd say he drifts in and out of games but he usually stays out of them apart from perhaps 5 minutes throughout the 90, on a good day.
Mata stats:
It's not 'like' that, that's how it is. Can't find it now but there's a picture of Ronaldo with almost the whole half to himself then comparing it to Messi with 8 around him in the same game, that's why Xavi needs to help Busquets in shutting down space (even if it means Xavi will have to be...
He's already capped for Brazil, that's impressive. How good is he, though? This video was linked in the original Sport.es article
but YouTube videos aren't always the way to go.
