So atletico was not inferior, because they were 2nd for a long time, but Barça being the 1st from round one, and with 15 points of advantage on the end doesnt make them the better team... That logic.

Exactly how will our defense be better next season?

He's betting that a defence with CBs that are not injured all the time will still be better than what happened last season.
Its not about injuries at all.And if you talk about Puyol he won't get over of his injury problems,he seems to get injured more and more often right now.And Pique Mascherano is simply not trustable,its been two seasons with that bad defence and the most still trust them?Its clear that we need reinforcements..

You'll get a new CB, maybe even two.
And I'm also part of those that think that your defence will be better this season, even if you didn't get TS.
Doesn't seem realistic,we struggle for one CB and nothing is going on yet.
To be honest i never got excited or believed in Thiago Silva's transfer here.He was lost last summer from the moment he signed to PSG.But of course they went for it just to say that they tried until the end..

I guess we are going to buy only one CB and this one will be really expensive...why ? Because we are Barca and not Bayern or Dortmund who invest little money and get incredible player out of it. No name no player for Barca.
No, that 100 points was your peak. And many would say it needed a lot of help from the referees to get it. This last season your team declined, not just because of a bad attitude but genuine decline. Alonso and Di Maria are two clear examples of players who declined. The 4-1 thrashing you got away to Dortmund also showed the true quality of your team. You had your full first team, got a gift of a goal and still got played off the park. Barca lost 4-0 to Bayern, but had Bartra in defense, that's right, Bartra, Messi and Busquets carrying injuries, 2 illegal goals and a coach fighting cancer. Let's not mention you being outplayed by Utd.
You might think Ancellotti will turn things around, but I actually see a lot of potential downside with him. The main reason you've been more competitive in Clasicos was because of Mourinho. I don't see that continuing, in fact I see more chance of things going back in Barca's favour. You sold your best striker. Your two most important players likely past their peak. If Madrid can build a lead in the first 5 games they have a chance, but otherwise I think Barca should win the league easily this year(although I shouldn't say this because I might jinx it).
Nah Carlo is a great coach. He can only be good for them. Jose brought the team to a high standard, Carlo will take them those last few meters, and there will be less controversy and more focus on football. He knows how to take us on too.
They'll be very strong with him. It's just in the first year there's still adaption and that's why we have the advantage for the league in the first year.

Sounds like wishful thinking to me. Bale isn't worth anything like the numbers being talked about here, but he'll certainly strengthen Madrid.
Bale is not worth anywhere near the money Madrid are paying for him, it is silly money and because they lost out on their number 1 target Neymar! I think Suarez would be a much better buy and transform their team, but Bale and Ronaldo make the same runs and play very similar. Ronaldo will have Bale in his shadow!
