I am very happy. Dembele was my first choice to replace Neymar, and for once, I am happy the board agreed and got it done. The fee also seems reasonable in today's market.

By the way, even if I had a choice of Mbappe vs Dembele for the same fee, I am not sure I would have chosen the former. I truly believe in Dembele's potential.

Dembele rather predictably is their new #11. Much more of a natural replacement for Neymar than Coutinho obviously, if that's what they were after.. a like for like. Reality is I think Barca's approach to finding a Neymar replacement was scattergun.. target some teams who aren't guaranteed league winners but have top internationals and rock their bus until they finally give in.

Real Sociedad de Fútbol v Villarreal CF tonight, should be a good game.

Yeah good weekend of footy coming up, off to the Liverpool Football Club vs Arsenal Football Club match on Sunday myself.

Is that your idea of a joke?

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #725 on:** August 25, 2017, 07:19:10 pm »

David Villa has been named in the Spain squad for the upcoming internationals! The fuck is Lopetegui doing?

Chakan · « **Reply #726 on:** August 25, 2017, 07:20:25 pm »

Someone might have to blow the dust off him...

ggcc14 · « **Reply #727 on:** August 25, 2017, 07:20:58 pm »

Well why not? He's doing an incredible job in America and it's still David Villa.. the guy is absolute goals.

I do think having Lopetegui as manager is questionable though in general, done a good job with their unders but that's it.

Samie · « **Reply #728 on:** August 25, 2017, 07:22:37 pm »

I'm expecting Juan Carlos Valeron in the next squad personally.

You must be joking on the fee. BVB bought him for 15m EUR, you're paying 10x a year later.

woah who is this Maxi Gomez for Celta.. 6'1ft Uruguayan centreforward. Scored two on his debut vs Sociedad, scored after ten minutes tonight vs Betis. Scored 28 in 47 games for Defensor Sporting in Uruguay.

Notably 10 goals in 12 league games in 2017 in Uruguay, in redhot form.

La Liga has been graced with some brilliant Uruguayans: Walter Pandiani, Gus Poyet, Canobbi, Chevanton, Godin, Luis Suarez, Forlan etc .

Alberto Aquilani could make his debut for Las Palmas tonight. Now 33 years old.

Justice done, barely anything in that.

Barca are a shadow of what they once were. Honestly, I'd back us against them. Messi the only thing to fear in this team these days.

oojason · « **Reply #735 on:** August 26, 2017, 06:40:56 pm »

Messi scores to make it 1-0 on 55 mins - his 350th league goal

2-0 now, Messi on 66 mins - https://imgtc.com/w/JJbzKQ6

Atletico doing very well against Las Palmas so far.

SandyShore · « **Reply #737 on:** August 26, 2017, 09:51:19 pm »

Correa will have a breakout season this year

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #738 on:** August 26, 2017, 10:36:17 pm »

Lovely goal from Koke. Las Palmas look like relegation candidates though.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #739 on:** August 26, 2017, 10:49:16 pm »

Another great finish from Koke. Won't see too many better braces than his this season.

dalarr · « **Reply #740 on:** August 27, 2017, 09:26:55 pm »

Asensio with a nice finish. Our group in the CL looks easy on paper but if we want to win the damn thing we have to beat these lads. It's a daunting task.

The 1989 Brit Awards · « **Reply #741 on:** August 27, 2017, 09:27:41 pm »

it was a good goal but couldn't the keeper at least try to save it?

dalarr · « **Reply #742 on:** August 27, 2017, 09:28:53 pm »

I'm no expert but it was a well placed and powerful strike.

Real Madrid just can't keep clean sheets against Valencia. I don't think they've managed it in the last 8 or 9 games.

pinky · « **Reply #745 on:** August 27, 2017, 09:55:58 pm »

It's been a good game so far

Keita Success · « **Reply #746 on:** August 27, 2017, 10:11:25 pm »

I recently saw an article that stated that Messi contributes to 20% of Barcelona's income. Anyone got a clue as to where I can find it?

2-2

Asensio again. The lad is some player.

2-2 Asensio free kick.. the defender in the wall ducks under it

Asensio

Benzema has to be the worst Real Madrid player right now.

ApfelStudel · « **Reply #753 on:** August 27, 2017, 10:59:29 pm »

Is Benzema always this wasteful?

what a miss by Benzema

rawcusk8 · « **Reply #755 on:** August 27, 2017, 11:01:39 pm »

No way Kovacic leaves Real.. he's starting to feature alot more now.

I said Neto was a downgrade on Cesar

Anyone else really hate Casemiro and his shithouse tactics the moment he gets touched.
