La Liga 2015/16

Gimenez is fantastic. Probably one of the best young defenders I have seen.

jones

Undiano fucking Atlético over as usual

Vietto equalises finally, great work by Jackson for the assist

Bryant

Keylor Navas saves Real again...He's been in great form.

@[deleted] I'd take most of the Atletico side to Arsenal (besides F. Torres) 😆

I feel that Correa really reminds me of Aguero...I don't think he would leave Atletico so easily though. They stuck by him through that heart tumor and found the best doctors to operate on him.

jones

The first 75 minutes were very tense, the last 15 were incredibly open.

Thoughts on this match (who cares lol):

Keylor Navas was incredible and Real are lucky they don't know how to use a fax because he's been as good as De Gea was last year this season. That penalty save vs Griezmann is one of the best I've ever seen
Mourinho is a fucking idiot for selling Luis, not even looking at how shit Ivanovic has been Luis is way better at LB than Azpilicueta. Had Bale in his pocket while playing like a LW most of the game
We definitely have to pounce on one of the attackers Atlético will have to sell next summer, Griezmann, Correa, Vietto and Ferreira is overkill when Simeone is sure to play one of Torres or Jackson in a 4-4-2. On recent showings I'd even take Torres tbh

😆 Didn't see your post earlier. Yeah Correa might not want to leave but this is the level of talent where you just force the club's hand, 80m will at least make them think twice about it. The comparisons are obvious (Argentinian at Atlético) but I'd say he has even more to his game, his dribbling is better than Kun's was at that age. Last time I was so sure that a young striker would make it to the top was actually Agüero.

We need to poach some of those Atletico scouts. They sure pick up some fantastic talent on a regular basis.

Clrnc

We actually don't. Correa was well known to many clubs as a top talent. What matters is we have a manager to act on them.

jones

Correa was certainly known, Gimenez on the other hand I don't think anybody heard anything of, they paid roughly 500k for him and he's already a massive steal. Either way we would do well with their scouts and a manager to act on them.

Don't the Spanish clubs still have an advantage over us when signing players from South-America?

jones

Not looking at factors like language barrier, culture shock and the weather differences Spain doesn't have the visa problems that we regularly face when we get players from the Americas. That's only a problem if we're getting unproven youngsters though, if we bought a Neymar or someone of that ilk and paid a corresponding fee that wouldn't be a problem either.

Klaus

I think anyone who cost more than £10 million automatically qualifies for a special talent visa in England these days, so it's not a worry when big money is involved. It does make it difficult to scout youth, but I agree with Jonesy - Correa looks like the kind of talent you'd happily pay that much for. I've seen him twice now and he's been incredible both times.

Herbas

I do not follow La Liga at all, but saw the bench of Real on their match with Levante:
13 Casilla Cortés
18 Vázquez Iglesias
20 Jesé
21 Cheryshev
28 Llorente Moreno
29 Mayoral Moya
32 Lienhart

What the hell, what is this bunch? Do they have massive amount of injuries, shallow depth squad or what?

QuincyAbeyie

Modric, James, Benz, Carvajal and Pepe are injured.

Meatwad

wenger use to pounce on these quality french players. now he just window shops.

Rex

I soooo wanted us to sign Griezmann in January preceding last summer, and then I desperately wanted us to sign him last summer. We did sign Alexis though, so that sort of made up for it. In retrospect, we should have signed both of them.

Mirth

Yeah, someone like Greizmann would complete our front three

Meatwad

we had the perfect in with sociedad too. we'll give you 12m and vela's rights ... done and dusted. only competition was atletico and we pay much better than them.

Tactics

I probably underrated Griezman when he was at Sociedad but I still don't rate him as most people do. To me he's a bit like Theo, with better technique minus the blistering place. I reckon he'll always be a tier below the real top class footballers.

Talents like Correa,Martial etc on the otherhand you just know are going to be among the very best footballers in the world baring any injuries.

BTW Santi Mina is probably worth keeping an eye on for Valencia, was really impressed by him yesterday.

Griezmann didn't want to come to Arsenal, what did you want Wenger to do? Since when did Wenger use to pounce on expensive French players anyway? The last one I can think of was arguably Nasri.

Nah. Griezmann is definitely one of the best 5 players in La Liga. He's carrying Atletico this season with his goals.
