Those haaland and mbappe wages would be crazy tho

Trust in President Perez

#

Luckily bale and Isco are leaving

#

And hopefully we can get rid of hazard too

#

That’d be nice

Like Bale

storm quest
#

This is 100% bales last season here

chrome slate
#

And hazard

storm quest
#

Kind of a bittersweet story

#

But I will miss him

#

His time is just done here. It’s the best for both parties

BTW, keep a good password and activate 2fa. Good method to keep your account safe

#

I meant bale but that too

chrome slate
#

He gained weight, became unfit and then got injuries

storm quest
#

Cause i had very high hopes for hazard

chrome slate
storm quest
#

But someone in his situation doesn’t belong in Real Madrid

#

When Bale had said No to Zizou, and instead preferred golf over club football, I knew this guy is done

storm quest
#

How do you feel about a rudiger signing for free. Would alleviate some cb shortage problems, which is nice but I don’t watch Chelsea games so I don’t know exactly how good he is

chrome slate
#

Rudiger? I don't think he is even interested

#

He is at Chelsea and good there, winning titles

storm quest
#

Just been seeing his name for a while now. Last few months actually. Something about his contract renewal at Chelsea Not progressing

#

Teams like Bayern Chelsea and us apparently are interested

chrome slate
#

There are more chances of him going to Bayern

storm quest
#

That makes sense

He's German kunfused

Being unhappy is kinda expected

Rudiger got exposed at Germany NT

He's ok but he looks better than he is because tuchel

Real Madrid going on a tear the past 5 matches

bilbao had chances to score first but they’re non clinical

if we can get through Sociedad and Atleti

title is ours to lose

lmao

i mean

rn real are clear

but us, soceiodad, sevilla and betis all have a chance

rayo as well💀

snuck in Betis and Rayo

Sevilla already dumpstered

they are third...

last season was so exciting, even sevilla had a chance

this season, its either Real or Atleti to win the league

rest are all just to make up the European spots

if oblak wasnt in such poor form atleti would be closer

frank robin

much closer

shows how important he is to us

barca aren't as bad as the table suggests

desert saddle

Barca are not touching the title

they should first focus on getting to top 4

exotic kite
#

they dropped too many points yes

#

they will get top 4 tho

desert saddle
#

Xavi purple patch will run out soon

frank robin
#

barca will focus on getting top 4

#

yes

exotic kite
#

barca have been unlucky

#

they are consistently producing more xG but cant finish as well and have below average keeping

frank robin
#

skill issue imo

exotic kite
#

partly yes

desert saddle
#

Real Madrid has to sort out their defending

exotic kite
#

but they will also be easily higher than 7th at the end of the season

desert saddle
#

we really gotta stop being shaky

#

its not just La Liga

exotic kite
#

yeah they are 8th best itl this season before counting for shot stopping

desert saddle
#

Champions League also matters

frank robin
#

i think there will either be new signings in january

#

or Ancelotti will sort out alaba and miltao

#

coz rn, its just benz and vini carrying

kindred stag
#

how tf r RM not losing

#

theyr playing shit every match and getting away with it

frank robin
#

they are playing shit defensively

kindred stag
#

at least we play more entertaining football

frank robin
#

as i said, vini and benz are scoring like 3 goals every match to win

desert saddle
#

just because you get to dominate vs teams like Dynamo Kyiv

kindred stag

didnt Athletic nearly beat you when they played you this season?

or win against man city

we actually have a good record vs Bayern

frank robin
#

i think we will get knocked out in the quarter finals

#

idk

desert saddle

Ill accept quarters for us

given our lack of squad depth

#

but semis wouldnt hurt either

frank robin

last szn it was semis right?

kindred stag
#

porto right?

frank robin
desert saddle
frank robin
#

if we make it out of the group, we will get knocked out in the quarters

if not

then maybe europa semis

or simeone sacked

if you dont win then you are out right?

frank robin

imagine simeone sacked😳

if Simeone gets sacked, Atleti are done

yessir

that man made you what you are

the dude has made atletico

before Simeone, Atleti were almost nothing

#

you cant possibly sack this dude

kindred stag
#

his tactics r the reason of ur success

frank robin
#

simeone and atleti go together perfectly

kindred stag
#

yh

#

Simeone got you Europa in 17/18

#

everyone wanted him sacked but he bounced back

frank robin
frank robin
kindred stag
#

simeone got the job just after you guys got promoted back to la liga right?

including prime barca and madrid era

desert saddle

if Ancelotti wins La Liga, he will have all top 5 league titles in his cabinet

he consistenly got us to 2nd and third during the prime barca and madrid era

massive credits to the guy

we have 4 positions to fill up + Mbappe

Mbappe, RB, CB, CM, and ST is a must

for next season

he also has a talent for making world class gks

frank robin

lmao

kindred stag
frank robin
#

rip

kindred stag
#

but realistically tho we could sign a 40-50 million player in the summer

#

but thats all

kindred stag
#

and thats if our wage bill clears

frank robin
#

if you sell some players then yh

#

like coutinho out

kindred stag
#

umtitty and longlegs should go

frank robin
#

dembele out

kindred stag
#

and coutinho

kindred stag
desert saddle
#

for us, we have to sell lots of players

#

and we are planning to

#

Jovic, Mariano, Vallejo, and Ceballos are 4 that have to be sold

frank robin
#

we need to get oblak on form

#

thats it

desert saddle
#

especially latter 3, Jovic still has this year to prove

#

I will also throw in Asensio unless he does well this year

kindred stag
desert saddle
#

Isco leaving for free

kindred stag
#

oh

desert saddle
#

same as Marcelo and Bale

#

oh I forgot we gotta sell Hazard

#

get his ass out

#

all that weight

#

benzema will find it tough to carry him on his back

frank robin
#

lmao

frank robin
kindred stag
#

yep

desert saddle
#

with Mbappe, our attack should be sorted

#

and we got depth there

#

just need consistency

kindred stag
#

you never know

desert saddle
#

Rodrygo as backup next year

kindred stag
#

how these big transfers tend to go

desert saddle
#

we need a striker however for backup as Jovic and Mariano are just bad

#

that Alvarez kid can work ig

#

and for LW, idk

#

someone random

#

just not Hazard

#

I would say Asensio but my dude cannot play on the wing

grave glen

missed all the cdr matches

was he good at one point?

or what

#

Thought it was official by now, but it seems like Orbelin Pineda to Celta Vigo is still imminent.

#

He’ll join in January.

hasty hearth
#

this might potentially be a good signing for vigo hopefully

plain elbow
#

He’ll definitely add some depth on the wings. He’s got competition though, but Pineda is a bit versatile too.

#

He’s gonna be competing with the likes of Nolito, Brais Mendez, and Cervi.

#

It’s also rumored that Denis Suarez is being put up to sale.

hasty hearth
#

denis suarez is still on vigo?? damn

#

He also doesn’t want to extend, even though the offer on the table includes a pay raise. He’d be one of Celta’s highest earners ever.

We need trippier back up and lodi back up

Hopefully manu sanchez comes back from osasuna we need him badly

yeah that too

carrasco has been playing lwb right?

His on loan on Osasuna and is going a good job

with lemar and griezmann

he got Mirandes to a CDR semi final in 19/20

Who’s worse in terms of play style- getafe or Burnley

fading ember
#

Getafe

devout geyser
#

Getafe

slender olive
#

Then instead of calling getafe Spanish Burnley Burnley should be called English getafe

plain elbow
#

Burnley are at least a bit more daring going forward, and actually have forwards that fit their style of play.

grave glen
#

Getafe no doubt

#

which is sad, because Getafe is not la liga’s worst squad

#

they do have some interesting players

#

as of late they have picked up some form, must be said

ember ruin
#

Isn't Getafe hated by most Spanish clubs?

grave glen
#

yeah they’re hated cause they barely have a strong fanbase

#

they usually not filling their stadium

#

so people dislike them being in top flight

#

plus with bordalas, who is now at valencia, they played dirty destructive football

#

always trying to dive, wasting time

#

and at last, getafe has historically been a club that madrid uses to loan its fringe or young players

#

Not as much today, but certainly a couple seasons ago

Ohhh ok

Spanish football is truly finished

Deportivo La Coruna 😍

Hope one day we can see them back in top flight

devout geyser
#

I think everyone should take a look at Malaga

#

they are on a decent form

#

and are 7th in Segunda rn

#

if they keep it up, they could make playoffs

#

Teams that will join Round 2 automatically:
Atletico Madrid
Real Madrid
Barcelona
Athletic Bilbao

#

Agree

devout geyser
#

tbh

#

round 1 wasnt that bad

#

not many upsets but you cant expect much from non league teams lol

devout geyser
#

I actually want them to make a decent run

#

in CDR

#

hope maybe Athletic get to play them

#

if we do and its at Riazor, im going to that game

#

because Deportivo's stadium is very nice

grave glen
#

Round bye

#

Malaga back would also be nice

devout geyser
#

Real finished 2nd

#

Barca won CDR

#

Athletic were runner ups

grave glen
#

Yeah

#

Barca will have to go to extra time in round 2

devout geyser
#

also Athletic won Supercopa

#

so even if we didnt get to the final

#

we wouldve made it to Round 2 automatically

grave glen
#

We are extra time merchants in CDR

devout geyser
#

we are late goal merchants in CDR

grave glen
#

@grave glen who you support

#

Barca

#

Nice

devout geyser
#

lies, you supporting Kyiv soon

grave glen
#

Only for 90 minutes tho

#

Yes

devout geyser
#

imagine if they get Barca to R16

grave glen
#

We choke we get laughed at @grave glen

devout geyser
#

if thats the case, build Kyiv's statue in front of Camp Nou

#

Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao are offering La Liga clubs a better alternative to the CVC deal. Clubs would receive 2 billion euros over 25 years with an interest rate of 3%.
@partidazocope

#

oh dang

grave glen
#

Is that good or bad??

devout geyser
#

ill just summarize

#

basically Primera and Segunda clubs will have equal amount of money funded in each of their leagues

#

And of course that fuck Tebas doesnt want it

#

Fucking idiot

#

Good for florentino, laporta and whoever bilbao president is

#

Fun fact

#

Those are the only fan-owned clubs

#

Coincidence?

#

Fuck you tebas ur as terrible as the rest of em

devout geyser
#

he is our president

#

man is a huge Basque nationalist

#

he wants Basque Country to have a national team in UEFA

#

we all know that's impossible since Basque Country belongs to Spain

grave glen
#

Lol

devout geyser
#

and he is a good chef

#

he won an award for being the best chef in Spain once

#

he owns lots of restaurants in Basque Country

grave glen
#

Athletic Bilbao is hands down the best managed club in La Liga

#

Regarding economy, academy, sporting development etc

#

Fantastic example of how to run a club

devout geyser
#

we do things quietly

#

we dont spend a lot of money in transfers

grave glen
devout geyser
#

we still have that Kepa money in our bank

#

why would we spend 75m on a goalkeeper when we got someone promising in academy (Unai Simon)

#

Simon cost nothing and he is already twice the keeper Kepa is

#

if not more

grave glen
#

Wait so did Laporte want to leave or did u just sell him.

devout geyser
#

he couldnt turn down that offer in January

#

he already rejected City in the summer reluctantly

grave glen
#

O

devout geyser
#

since we were pretty bad at that time

#

he jumped ship

#

I dont blame him

grave glen
#

Bilbao sold Javi Martinez and Llorente too back in the day

#

Ander Herrera

#

Would u take him back?

#

good players

devout geyser
#

he said he will keep following our club

#

even when he left

#

he suggested we use that money we got from him to improve the team

grave glen
#

How much did u get?

devout geyser
#

City gave us around 60m

grave glen
#

Laporte stayed year after year

#

Was pretty loyal tbf

devout geyser
#

tbh City activated his release clause

#

we couldnt do much

#

we did force Chelsea to pay us 75m though for Kepa kekw kekw

#

also release clause

hollow kelp
#

Kepa was good at Bilbao

#

but Unai Simon is better anyways

#

plus Kepa flopped at Chelsea

#

and Mendy replaced him

devout geyser
#

Kepa was good yeah

#

for us

#

and he wasnt that bad in his first season at Chelsea

#

but then he sucked lol

grave glen
#

Remember Bielsa’s Bilbao

#

🥵

devout geyser
#

yes very good team

grave glen
#

Trashed united 3-0

devout geyser
#

and then we lost Copa del Rey and Europa league in the same week

#

couldnt handle prime Barca and Simeone's Atleti

#

fucking Falcao

#

in his peak, man was on another planet

grave glen
#

The manager doesn’t have to be basque right

#

For athletic

#

no

devout geyser
#

no

#

not anymore

hollow kelp
#

If Catalonia is not independent then Basque most likely won't be either

frank robin
#

yh

#

btw

#

did iniesta invent the la croqueta?

devout geyser
#

yes basically

devout geyser
frank robin
#

really?

devout geyser
#

yes

#

we have been wanting independence even before the civil war

frank robin
#

oof

#

if basque and catalonia gain independence will barca, espanyol and bilbao still play in laliga?

grave glen
#

Basque and Catalan independence is an interesting topic for a history/politics server 👀

#

Should stick to la liga discussion ngl

#

It can quickly derail

frank robin
#

true true

#

i think real will continue their form until january of feb

#

and then they will fall off

#

and we will catch up

#

hopefully we get our form back up

devout geyser
#

Atleti was in this kind of form last season

frank robin
#

lol

#

yh

devout geyser
#

but then they began slipping

#

and eventually Real Madrid and Barcelona caught up

#

although Barcelona went lower at the end of the season

#

2 underrated players. Best argentine CAMs of the 2000s. Played a lot of derbies one against each other, whether it was in Argentina or Spain

#

But at the end of the day, who do you prefer at their prime, Juan Román Riquelme or Pablo Aimar?

#

Riquelme any day of the week

#

A commanding presence

#

Just a special player to watch

#

Had some exquisite vision and assist passing

#

Saw him live actually

#

#Riquelme

#

really? where did you watch him?

#

Boca Juniors visited Santa Laura (Unión Española) back in like 2012 or 2011 I think

#

And I went to see my club

#

It was Libertadores 2012

#

Well, i'm glad you recognize class. Riquelme has been kinda forgotten lately, or at least i felt it like that in worldwide football

grave glen
#

We lost the final sadly

#

but damn, it was such a crazy squad

#

Well Riquelme had his best years in South America i guess

#

He kind of flopped at Barca

#

Riquelme was a different kind of CAM that you see nowadays

#

And in Villareal he did well but then had problems with the coach I think

#

So his stay there was short

#

He used his body and physical ability to always bet for the 1 vs 1 and dribble

grave glen
#

Commanding like i said before

#

Kinda weird to see a CAM nowadays using his body and try always a one vs one duel

#

When he hd the ball, he wouldnt lose it

#

You couldnt take it from hima

#

At Barcelona, he had trouble with Van Gaal

#

And he simply controlled the game like that

#

Van Gaal kinda screwed him since he never played where he knew

#

Just a beauty to watch

#

As a CAM in the heart of the attack

#

He wasn't very fast, but if you gave him some time with the ball, he was deadly

#

I saw that he had the most assists in the 2000s decade

#

But another player i liked as well was Aimar. His case is worse because nowadays nobody remembers him even though he's a Valencia legend

#

I remember him

#

Valencia back then was dope

#

Aimar-Ayala

#

Ayala forgotten defender

#

Probably one of south america’s best center backs

#

Aimar left for Benfica then, right?

#

Yep

#

Btw, there also were Copa América champs

#

You 20 something lad?

#

There's Ayala missing there. He, Samuel and Aimar were part of Scaloni's coach team

#

Its refreshing to talk about older gens for once

#

Walter Samuel 🔥

#

Inter 2010

grave glen
#

And i know for a fact that there will never be another CB duo in The Americas such as the Rat Ayala and the Wall Samuel

grave glen
#

That’s dope

#

Did you ever see Gary Medel at Boca

#

where are you from mate?

#

Or was that before your time

#

I’m chilean

grave glen
#

I was young

#

Pitbull

#

But i remember him

#

And alexis at River

#

Old times

#

We never got any other player like him

grave glen
#

From champion to bottom of the league in the span of one year lmao

#

Holy shit ur right

#

Cholo had that river

#

lmao

#

There are some things in SA football that you just can't see in Europe

#

Yeah the vibe is entirely different

#

South american ball is just passionate all the way through

#

From the constant dribbling, the arenas and the chants, the fans

#

The verticality

#

Can we agree that there will never be a more enigmatic brother rivalry than this?

#

It might lack the discipline and tactical order that euro football has but

#

Imagine having to mark your own brother in a UCL semifinal

#

Its unmatched in pulse, verticality and vibe

grave glen
#

Iconic

grave glen
#

I will never forget the Libertadores 2013 group stages

#

It ended with Tigre and Palmeiras with 9 points and Libertad and Sporting Cristal with 8 points at the bottom

#

Imagine ending last and only one point above the first in your group

#

btw since you're chilean i think you'll remember this amazing squad

#

Yeah holy fuck

#

They were absolutely monsters that sudamericana

#

The bayern of south america back then

#

I was a fan, especially from Gustavo Lorenzetti

#

Loved watching em

#

Jeez, that midget was a magician

#

It cost us a lot to beat them back in the 2012 Libertadores semifinals

#

I think they were the only squad in winning the Sudamericana with 0 defeats

#

Lorenzetti, Matias rodriguez, Eduardo Vargas

#

Charles aranguiz

#

Chelo diaz, keno mena

#

This was actually the other half of that copa america winning chile

#

Still, it was truly a shock when they lost the Recopa Sudamericana to Ney's Santos and the Suruga Bank to a random japanese team

#

The first half was the generation of vidal, alexis and bravo

#

The second was these universidad players

#

Sampaoli's U de Chile > Sampaoli's Sevilla ||(And Argentina too )||

#

it was such a crazy year for us here in 2011. U de Chile playing worldclass football, River getting relegated, Messi's hate at his peak, River getting relegated...

#

I remember that so well

#

Southamerican football was in shock
