With La Liga being dull, why does everyone want to go to Madrid? It's a bit like the SPL, only warmer. 

 

I can see they get Champs League football every year but most other top clubs are guaranteed now, with the way that CL is structured.

La Liga is boring, but it is not if you are going to play for Real Madrid or Barcelona. You make sure to be champion yes or yes every year of one or two cups.

For many years, Real Madrid and Barcelona have been able to expand very well in South America and every person born there dreams of playing for these two clubs. (I understand that also because of a matter as simple as the fact that we share a language).

Keep in mind that, although the Premier League is the best league in the world, there is no clear dominator. There was it with Fergie at Manchester United, but in the last 20 years things have been divided between Manchesters, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool... It's more difficult to feel identified with a Chelsea that wins the UCL one year, but the following year He doesn't play it because Tottenham, Leicester, Everton or, from now on, us also fight for it.

On the other hand, Real Madrid and Barcelona not only play the championship every year, but have dominated it for years. Madrid historically, and recently too. And they have benefited from this thanks to the unfair distribution of television money that they have had for more than 10 years for which they took 160M euros each team, while for the rest of the 18 teams in Spain there were 300M to distribute.

In addition, they have also had the two greatest stars of world football (Messi and Ronaldo) of the last decade as emblems.

Madrid and Barcelona is not the same as saying the Spanish League. And if you can't go with them, you'll go outside. The sample was what happened in its day with players like Silva or Mata (they played for Valencia, which was the third best team in Spain and had to go to the Premier) or with others like Cazorla.

Without going any further, nothing ago, Leeds in the Championship signed Rodrigo Moreno to Valencia, then their star striker. And there are many cases of players leaving teams in Spain that are Top 6 to go to teams that are fighting to stay in the Premier League.

PS: For a few years now, thanks to Simeone, Atlético has become a very attractive team also for some players.

30mil plus on a cm that has had 9 games in his  career but out of position at lb is good business? What?

 

Seems risky with our ffp constraints.

Still need a CB but you can't have it all.

Does this not turn Burn into a more readily available CB though? 2-for-1. Plus we have Krafth returning from injury who actually played well at CB when called on under Howe.

If we get Hall our transfer window has been a 9 out of 10. 10 out of 10 would have been a RCB of similar quality to Botman in addition to Hall and the rest, but that might have to wait until January or next summer.

This is a genuine question, and I hope you don’t take it badly.

 

Why do transfer stories interest you more than discussing other football things?

Brilliant work if we manage to convince them for the loan now plus buy next year. 

 

Potentially a similar deal for a CB too? Greedy little bastids we've become in a very short span of time :lol:

😂 I mean I do comment on things other than transfers often, or at least often when I'm actually on here. I even comment when the transfer windows are closed which kind of refutes your theory, but the players we have on the pitch is obviously very important. Not that I place talking about transfers above all else. So in short I don't believe your premise is accurate to begin with, and you'd basically need to be a mind reader to state otherwise.

He must have got a guess wrong. Tierney maybe.
 

 

He's said Hall for £30m is too cheap.


AKA someone has got it right and he hasn't and is crying like a pussy

The bloke should have given up when he came up with that shite about Paqueta getting his kids into local schools in Newcastle

As I said, genuine question. Thanks for answering.
