No way we finish outside top 2. The 3rd best team in league is Atletic/Sevilla. We still have a better player than them in every position, everyone is just jumping on a train to say how shit we are, but we still are pretty much better than everyone else..
All these players are past it though. They've been flogged to death the last 10 years by club and country and won everything, there's no hunger or energy left and they haven't been backed up by great new talent (only Neymar who saw the writing on the wall and left).
Busquets, Iniesta, Suarez, Rakitic, even Pique look shot. Xavi, Puyol, Pedro and Alves have all gone. Shite like Arda, Gomes, Deulefeu, Paco and Paulinho are meant to replace some of these players, while Real have stocked up with the likes of Asensio, Isco and Kovacic. Neymar was meant to be the future and now he's gone.
The club is fucked for a generation thanks to awful decisions. All we can do is enjoy the final years of Messi at the club. Wasted years for him though.
