Barcelona are in huge trouble after selling Pedro. Their team depth is looking VERY thin especially until January when Turan, Vidal and whoever else can sign. I know Suarez was out for 4 month with Munir and them filling in but even then Pedro was still there. Players like Rafinha, Sergi Roberto backing up an aging iniesta, isn't going to be good for them playing 65 games this season

As expected.

Confirmed by Simeone:

Oli will wear the number 10 shirt, by the way.

Just watching Depor vs. Sociedad right now. Boring match, but Inigo Martinez has been absolutely fantastic. I wonder if he'll move to a bigger club some time soon.

He didn't do a lot. He had a couple of moments where he linked up with Vela successfully, but a fairly quiet outing for him. Not many attacking moves to speak of for Sociedad.

Not too sold on their league Odds.

They may be difficult to take down on Copa and Cl, as ever.

Starting the season with a win is always a good thing. Bilbao is proving to be a tough opponent.

Soldado scores on his Villareal debut.

Of course.

Not very impressed with my RM...

I had doubts about Benetiz and he only added more fuel to the engine... How da **** do you go with that lineup?

poor display.... quite awful for an opener.... Ancelotti won CL in yr 1, gets canned in yr 2... I like to see the leash on Benetiz if this continues.

I still don't get why Ancelotti got fired. He was the ideal coach for that squad. It wasn't his fault that he that the team did bad.
