La Liga 2014/15

He's no bad but not on the Steve Guppy level

 

Lopetegui (Porto manager) was the other one. It'll be interesting to see who the fickle * have in for next season.

 

Ronaldo's never been likable (apart from that summer he knocked England out the World Cup) but this season he's gone even further down in my estimation.

Thing is, he'll be absolutely delighted that he's wrapped up the Pachichi while Barca celebrate winning the trophy that matters.

 

Before the season started I had not really expected Barca to win the title because I feared Neymar, Suarez and Messi wouldn't get on too well. So glad I was proven wrong and Barca won the title.

Congrats to catalunya

 

Honestly what's the * point in taking that job, it is the ultimate poisoned chalice in football management

 

Apparently, Gündogan on his way to Barcelona...

 

I think Barca should have signed Kroos last year to replace Xavi, madness they let him go to Real Madrid, he would have suited Barca perfectly and at Real he doesnt really fit in as they dont play a passing/creative/possession game they're more direct or counter attacking and he doesnt really suit them well.

Gundogan is still quite dodgy since his lay off last season, not recovered to how he was before.

 

PSG offer €125 million for Ronaldo

Offt

 

Would be a good deal for them but I can't see him leaving Madrid just yet

 

Neither can I mate but stranger things have happened, and I take it they would just pay any fine coming their way due to the financial fare play rule :smiley-laughing002:

 

Haha true aye no doubt PSG will take the fine if they get Ronaldo.

 

Aye I'm pretty sure their last fine was for signing Ibrahimovic and Cavani :smiley-laughing002:, * football world has gone mad with some of the money thrown about

 

Think you could be right

Aye the world has gone mad with money in football

 

If its true they should take that and also punt Bale for as much as they can get and sign Hazard and Reus.

Modric Kroos
Reus Isco Hazard
Benzema

They'd be able to play more creative football with Reus and Hazard who are more technical players better at passing moving, creating and keeping possession than Bale and Ronaldo whilst also probably able to get 50 goals a season between them but upping the goal tallies of Modric, Kroos, Isco, Benzema and playing more like a team.

Could also use some of the money on the defence maybe go for a couple of players like Alaba and Hummels.
​

 

Decision to be made over Ancelotti's future in the next few days, huge mistake if Real let him go. Rafa Benitez at the minute is only a rumour, he hasn't been approached. Porto's manager will see out the remainder of his contract. Klopp would be a possibility IF Carlo leaves. Paul Clement is expected to take over at Derby for next season (Carlo's assistant), rumour has it Real are trying to bring in new technical staff which might just tip Ancelotti over the edge & force him out. Big summer ahead for Real Madrid in terms of staff & transfers. Tonight also could see Iker's last game in a Madrid shirt but if he's staying until the end of his contract 2017 and De Gea arrives, Keylor Navas will be sold. Bale will be a Madrid player next season and I'll have my house on it. Perez wants him to be the future of the club after Ronaldo. Carvajal will not be leaving to Manchester United either, even with Danilo arriving from Porto it's just competition. Arbeloa though, I expect to leave.
