For 18M, absolute bargain. He really fits our players and playstyle well. Adapted very quickly to a new environment and has already proven he can step up his game from Sevilla to Barcelona. Very happy with him :)

Having an abysmal match. Damn...

Very static and tough first half. Not a lot of creativity to break Villareal, who play very compact and constantly close down our players very effectively. I see us dropping points rather than us winning, today.

Another two goals, he is on such a hot streak right now. 7 goals and 3 assists already this season, in 6 matches IIRC. What a player :)

This.

Let me just do this, I really need to: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA We are idiots. This board can just stay and do whatever the fuck they want. Benatia, wish you the best being coached by the best manager in the world.

We can always agree to pay them 0.01 less than the total amount to avoid taxes (if they agree of course), which you only have to pay if the clause is triggered IIRC. That's why Illaramendi cost more than Isco (38 vs 30), since Sociedad held on to the clause while Malaga accepted +- 30 for Isco...

Wait, where am I suggesting Mandzukic is of the level of Luis Suarez? I just don't believe spending 81M on Luis Suarez is much better than other options. It gives the board an excuse to save on a world class CB and a very good RB (either prospect or proven). And Mandzukic not a 'Barca type'...

More than 45 would be awesome, but I expect him to score around 40 maximum. Nice couple of assists, though. I expect around 15-20 assists across all competitions.

Manduzkic for 20-25 and save yourself 60, which is more than enough to buy Godin, Benatia, Hummels or another good CB and a RB as well like Danilo, De Sciglio, Piszczek... If not Manduzkic, Jonathan Soriano. NO

Although it's obvious both play at their best playing next to a certain profile CB, like Puyol or Subotic. But in the end, Hummels is miles ahead of Pique.

Rory is on a heater, wow. 3 tournaments in a row, including 2 majors and a WGC.

Johan Cruijff GOAT.

Max Verstappen, now 16 years old, confirmed as F1 racer for STR next season. I knew he was immensely talented, but so young in F1 is huge. He isn't even old enough to drive in The Netherlands or buy the champagne he gets on a podium.

I don't think that's what he's saying, but simply stating the fact that life is different for a lot of players now and they need a coach to guide them to new heights. In that, Cruijff is right. As he always is. :wub:

Two very good games by Depay, although still makes his mistakes. What an exciting prospect, two nice free kick goals today and a beautiful assist. Hope he stays for another season...

Somehow it still saddens me to see Puyol allied with the bang of thugs that is the current board and Rosell...

I'd say read Sid Lowe's 'Fear and Loathing in La Liga' if you want to get a nice view of both sides for the last 100 years. And if you are interested in Francoism in general, I'd say have a look at his book 'Catholicism, War and the Foundation of Francoism', which I will personally start reading...

Making profits! Seriously, they will just use this to boast about the 'great' things they have done for this club and why we can afford a 600M project run by total idiots. Lack of a sporting project and an actual vision of what needs to happen with the first team and the entire club year by year...

If we actually sign Vermaelen... :lol: But hey, can't do shit about it anyway. Might as well hope for the best. But before he is signed, I really hope Utd signs him. And that we also stop the chase of Cuadrado. Just get Benatia...
