The squad is good enough to win the next 3 Champions League titles in a row. There is no should though, there's a lot of factors including luck and how a player might handle a moment of high pressure. With Messi, I think 2-3 in the next 5 years is reasonable to aim for.

Courtois will have two years left on his contract at the end of the season. If he is prepared to run down his contract then there is nothing Chelsea can do and they would have to decide how much of a loss they want to take on him. Cech is still only 31 so he has at least a few good years in...

Yep, 48% to the player, 52% to the taxman.

First of all, he's missed the first 3 league games. Secondly, he has to adjust to a different footballing culture. Thirdly he has to face parked buses. Fourthly he has more competition for his place with Di Maria so will likely play less minutes than he did at Spurs. Fifthly he has to find a way...

No, it's 52% of 35M which is around 17M.

League goals: Cristiano: 32, Bale 12

Because Arsenal are a C grade team. They've never won the Champions league, and it's coming up to a decade without a league title, in fact they're not even challenging for the title nowadays, they're only really competing for that 4th Champions league spot. The primary cause is the defence...

The obsession of a Cule is the style of play. Winning trophies is just the icing (Spoilt glory-hunters excepted).

Great signing for Arsenal. Bit pricey and not the position they most urgently needed to strengthen, but this is one of the best midfielders in the world entering his prime.

Bilbao do not need the money and don't want to sell. If the release clause is payed, depending on the contract it could mean there are some taxes to be paid on top of that so it could go over 40M. It's funny contrasting the efficiency of Spurs spending spree with Man U and Arsenal both failing...

Rotation already began with Busi and Alves being benched against Malaga.

He played as striker or second striker. He wasn't just a goalscorer, he also had vision and could play little throughballs or chipped passes from just outside the box to send someone clean through on goal.

Messi shouldn't play if he isn't fully fit. The game on Sunday against Valencia is more important so they should do what is best to get Messi ready for that game.

If Ribery was younger his value would be 50M+. He would also have very high wages compared to Alexis.

Our possession game is our defense. Masch and the DM making early interceptions is a key part of our possession game and thus a key part of our defense.

Glad to see he's started rotations. Both Alves and Busi were benched for this game. We've got a home game now against Atletico, and then the big game away to Valencia where they need to go all out to win. Then it gets easier and hopefully Xavi and maybe Pique/Masherano can start to be rested as...

When Barca first signed the deal it was with Qatar foundation. This deal was passed by the assembly. It did however contain small print that in the middle of the contract the sponsor could be changed and that is what they have done. So it is not a new deal, it is the same deal but the sponsor is...

Alexis did well against Malaga. It was a tough away game, there was no Messi and Pedro was ineffective the other side so Malaga put a lot more focus on him. He wasn't outstanding, but was one of the best players on the pitch.

Guys a matchwinner, he's going earn us points again this season.

1 goal conceded in 3 games suggests the defense has improved. I also don't see how Madrid have frightening options when their only established striker is Benzema. They've also been very very lucky to have 2 wins in their first 2 league games. The bigger challenge will be the Champions League...
