Probably missed a bunch of free transfers...


Questions for next season
Can Mourinho exist in Madrid? Will they finally turn all this money in silverware?
Will Barca continue to play this dazzling football?
Will somebody else come from nowhere to make some noise?
Do I have any clue what I'm talking about...

We will see.

Real
Barca

I don't think Hleb is essentially a transfer, he's just recalled from loan IIRC.

Yeah, you're right... just added him to the list cause, well, he wasn't on the squad last year.

Will he make the team? I kinda doubt it. Barca is looking to cut wages if I'm not mistaken. If somebody offers reasonable money, Barca is probably happy to deal him.

This is the league to watch this season.

Will Mourinho be successful?
How will Mehmet Topal play?(I may be the only one on this board to wonder about this)
Will Di Maria be a bust?
Where will Atletico finish?

And many more

Would be funny if Di Maria fails at Real.
Jose's first signings at Inter, Quaresma and Mancini, both failed too.

es por eso que hoy vengo a verte, sevillista sere hasta la muerte!

lets get that 3rd spot!

I kinda think Di Maria will fail at Real.

for the last 8-10 years I never really considered Real Madrid as a huge threat before the season started as their philosophy was well... not well thought out but with Mourinho being Manager I'm really concerned they're gonna take the crown away from Barca.

It's time to see how capable is Mourinho. It's his first real test with a big team. Only because of this, I think Real are favorites of winning La Liga. It'll be interesting to see how Barcelona reacts to this and how good can they handle the pressure.

Just curious about Raul Gonzales future

Obviously no club in the world is as big as Real, but Mourinho's already proven himself at 3 different big clubs (if you consider Porto as a big club)

That is what I think too since Madrid got Jose, but I wouldn't be surprised if Barcelona won again So Madrid can be the laughing stock again

Schalke 04 is his future.

Don't forget Felipe to Atletico. One of Brazil's best LBs, it's a shame he left Deportivo.

The only real big club Mourinho has ever been in was Inter. Porto is an important team in Portugal, period.
Chelsea is a big team thanks to Mourinho and Abramovich.

^You can't deny the mans success though

No, not at all. In fact, I'm "praising" him. He has won everything (or 97%) of the leagues, cups, finals, etc with the teams he has been with. That 3% is the Champions League with Chelsea

Just watched Madrid vs Club America.

Ronaldo is so fking good its unbelievable at times. Real's defense is so terrible that I half expect Mourinho to invest 90 mil in a center back and 2 full backs.
