La Liga 2013/2014

Rex, you're so precious.

Tactics

Atletico are really a mirror image of their manager (Diego Simeone). They are dirty dirty side, but extremely well drilled I must say. No one should say La liga is only about Madrid and Barca anymore, Atletico Madrid are a very impressive side these days. can definitely see them challenging for the title.

Koke is a brilliant little player - he'll soon be a subject of interest from bigger clubs IMO.

Bale is really limited for a top player; his control, passing and dribbling in tight spaces are that of pub footballer. Really hope he succeeds otherwise Levy will be hailed a genius for selling a dud for 100m.

Its all fair against the evil empires of Real madrid and Barcelona. Plus its not as if they dont have their fair share of dirty cunts/cheats. (Busquets, Alba, Alves, Pepe, Ramos, Arbeloa, Di Matia to name a few)

Clrnc

Courthois is one of the best keepers in the world already at such a young age, and owned by Chelsea 🙁

Looked like a massive cunt too. Will fit in nicely at Chelsea.

Didn't he say at some point last season, that he has no intentions of returning to Chelsea though?

Alfonso

Saw a bit of the Madrid derby last night. First time I've properly seen Atletico play and I was quite impressed. It's good for La Liga to have a third team challenging.

That Diego Costa is an absolute nutter, the new Edmundo.

Diego Simone looks like a Cuban gangster as well!

Not really. I just prefer to have players at the club that I actually like. We have done a good job, finally, of getting rid of most of the ones I dislike, and I would prefer if we didn't sign any new players I hate.
Not that I imagine my preferences have any bearings on the actual outcome, but a guy can hope!

Timbob

We've got rid of players that weren't good enough and/or didn't care very much. Don't think Costa falls in to either category. But fair do's my little cupcake, i understand why you don't want us to sign the big bad Diego Costa.

:-)

Rex

Costa had 10 league goals last season in 24 starts and 7 appearances off the bench. Being the focal point of Atletico's attack seems to have done him a world of good, but the reality is that it is far too soon to draw definitive conclusions on him as a number 9. He certainly doesn't warrant a club like Arsenal to overlook his volatile personality on the pitch.

Captain

He'll be Spain's starting striker at the world cup...

lorddulaarsenal

Think Negredo will be

est

He's Brazilian, no?

Still counts as a cap though.

Think that you're locked in once you earn a senior cap.

Rex

Read that he is now eligible for Spain. He needs to be selected first! I'd love to see Ramos' reaction should that happen. Funny, since he is one of the players he has spat on...

On 5 March 2013, Costa was called up by Brazilian national team coach Luiz Felipe Scolari for friendlies with Italy in Geneva and Russia in London, both taking place late in that month.[27] He made his debut in the first match, replacing Fred midway through the second half of the 2–2 draw.[28]

In September 2013, the Royal Spanish Football Federation made an official request to FIFA for permission to call up Costa for the Spanish national team.[29] He had been granted Spanish nationality earlier in the summer.[30]

They asked FIFA 4 days ago: http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2013/09/25/seleccion/1380129055_899810.html

My spanish is crap, don't know what the verdict was.

Rex

Think it will be ok. Hope it is, for the comedy point I mentioned above. This guy could seriously fuck up the Spain side from inside!

I think friendlies don't count. Schalke's Jones played for Germany (his country of birth) in friendlies before deciding to play for the USA.

Think you have more of a problem with it than Ramos seen as they gave each other a big hug at the end of the game.

Meatwad

i think rex just has a personal vendetta for some strange reason. he's a good footballer that the vast majority of teams would love to have. he's no more a cunt than your van persies and ibras, although he has the added benefit of probably being someone that could win a street fight.
