Does Santi have any testosterone whatsoever? πŸ˜†

That's a lovely way of welcoming Biggus back Tone.

Most elegant player in the world. The way he destroys poor SouarΓ© 0:47 into that clip is just mean.

If only he would improve his final ball, because right now that is sooooo disappointing.

It's a bit of a letdown but you can't have everything.

Look for 4:40. Destroys somebody's son

Most other top players, Messi, CRonaldo, Robben, Douglas Costa, etc are all about lightning quick movements and the contrast to this guy beating players in slow motion is just beautiful to watch. My description of him would be a faster and more efficient reincarnation of Riquelme.

The kinetic economy of Ozil's close touch is so optimal.

Last season Michael Owen said Sterling's a better player than Γ–zil.
With the stats in front of him, he said "I'm not much of a stats man"

πŸ˜† In all fairness you need to shake your life up if you start to hear yourself saying things Michael Owen would probably say.

In fairness Sterling is not only better than Γ–zil but also "probably better than Welbeck".

I love Bellerin. Peter Crouch's little brother...  πŸ™‚

i lol'd hard at them saying 'german quality' over and over. love those videos

"Crouchie" πŸ˜†

God I miss Ektaur, it's an addiction. Nice vid, but I went AAAH! :gape: in the end, after enjoying the best FB couple in the league 
when that Face filled the screen.

I love Monreal πŸ˜† He is not easily impressed

You can clearly hear how Monreal's relatively poor command of English really hampers him in a situation like this one.

Monreal sly-dissed 'ecktoo' with his "the other side" comments.

I think it was Patters who said that Γ–zil is the only guy he's seen who not only catches people on the wrong foot regularly when he dribbles but actually sends them running the wrong way. So accurate. It happens at least once in every game. Just look at this compilation of little skills and touches from last season:

I still can't believe we signed this guy.

Yep, his playing style is really unique. I really can't think of anyone who is similar.

Think the clearest similarity if any is with Zidane

Thought this was pretty funny. The boys being wound up, but taking it really well. Per is a smart dude! 

Thought this was a bit interesting too, when Monreal spoke of how his transfer here came about. First, we were late of course, January 31. Started with Santi tapping him up. It seems as if when Santi had established that he wanted to come, then we got in contact with Villareal, and it was quick from there. Not that I have imagined otherwise, but we are no better than other clubs when it comes to these matters.

You are absolutely right of course.
