i am, but in a different way. had we bought cuadrado, we'd have wasted too much, and benching an expensive player would've been awkward so it would've been cesc/alexis all over again. painful to watch cuadrado being a starter most of the time and failing us. there's no way he'd be used as rarely...
jeez, what's the big deal. i'm just as glad we didn't get benatia as we didn't get david luiz. while i think benatia would fit bayern i doubt he would've been better for us than for example mathieu is currently. he would be no better for us than brazilian dede for example. i'm sure most of us...
my mistake, but still, everyone was criticized, messi has been crucified, but alves is a scapegoat and no one protects him but himself and he is even criticized for protecting himself. that's how cast out alves is.
xavi's press-conferences are even more annoying than alves'. at least to me. also i don't remember anyone booing xavi, or dissing him in public, internet criticism doesn't count
add to it the fact that a few years ago he was a rightful and a serious contender for ballon d'or, now he wouldn't even win a sideway passing award if there was one :DDD
when xavi was at his best he was in ballon d'or top 3 list and rightfully so, many times it was said that he deserved one, but no one can say that he deserves any individual award for the performance of the last two years.
