Aleix Vidal

[FCBarca]

Really now? He's such a hardcore Madridista that I always figured he was from their academy, having seen him with their Castilla team. The guy even said he wanted to beat Barca "For the Madrid fans"...

That's because he's from the capital but he formed as a youth primarily within Atletico's academy before being poached by their local rivals

I'm guessing Aleix will be presented in our new 2015/16 kit right?

I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks on our players. We've got those presentation pics, but it's a bit different to see it outside of a staged studio setting.

It doesn't mean he isn't Castilla product ,He only played 2 years with Atletico and he has joined RM at the age of 16 .Munir joined us from Atletico at same age and we consider him La Masia
Busquets and Puyol both joined older than that and no one says they aren't from La Masia

No one should be claiming Munir is a cantera product when he arrived at 16, that's like claiming Cesc is an Arsenal product because he was poached at 15

Morata is from the capital and arrived at RM when he was already playing for the youth NT, impossible to claim he was formed there

Welcome to Barca. Seems like a good buy. Good luck!

Why are you taking a dig at our academy? The only decent youth player you've produced since the Raul/Casillas era eliminated you from the Champions' League.

I never said our own academy was any good, or rather the faith in our academy is non-existant. Doesnt mean i cant have a bit of fun with Barca, cause they are now going for the galactico-route.

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 ->

This deal reminded of something... We went for Beckham but uncle Flo hijacked the deal thou they didn't need him at the time so we ended up with Ronaldinho...
Now we went for Danilo he did the same while having carvajal and we end up with Vidal
The rumored fee is (12 ME + 2 ME +2 ME + denis suarez) looks like good deal almost half of Danilo's cost
May be his wages will be less also since no one was in for him other than us....
Personally from the few times that I have seen of both players I think we ended up with the better player that suit our style

GOOD TIMES

Welcome! Some big shoes to fill.

Didn't really watch Sevlilla's games, how is he? He looks fast, but can he defend? Is he skilled enough to hold on to the ball, form triangles, etc?

 

[Yannik]

sooo.. what exactly is he going to do this year until january 2016?

I thought Morata was a madridista. Sometimes they play at atleticos academy just for professional reasons but are still real fans.
