Looks like Man U doesn't want to give up De Gea unless they get Ramos back.

Flo will get De Gea one way or another. Ramos is acting like a punk, stealing a page from Dani Alves

It would be quite a hit to lose Ramos...

that might mean more Pepe... eeeek

Barcelona had over €600 million in revenue during the 14-15 season.

The club earned a profit of €15m after taxes during that time.

Not a big fan of Bartomeu, but I would take him over Laporta. That guy was played a dirty campaign.

Real will still be top 2. Atletico will probably be third or fighting for second.

Madrid had bad luck with injuries while Barcelona had a really healthy season. Not diminishing Barcelona's success, injuries are a part of the game but they do play a significant role on a long season.

Madrid lost the league by 3 points despite key players like Modric and James missing significant time.

Hopefully both teams stay healthy this season.

dunno, that 3 points is bit misleading. it took a while for barcelona to establish chemistry but they lost points only in two games second half of the season(not including the last game they sat starters). since they are an established team, they are more likely to have second half form than first half form which means game over for la liga.

real meanwhile hasnt fixed any of their issues particularly defensively, in fact got worse by going from ancelotti to benitez. as things stand i say barcelona wins the league by double digits but still time left in transfer market.

Hmm. I'll take you on a bet that Barcelona won't win the league by double digits
