Indeed, still there are not 4 contenders.
Don't you agree?

How does the premier league have "2 big". In terms of trophies may be. Liverpool and United the most successful, but in terms of financial "safety" and competitiveness, the Premier league has 5/6 quite easily

@Ysellian Plus add in the fact Everton normally give the big boys a game, maybe not this season but they might be better if they keep their players under Martinez.


Yeah, true. Many of the title finishes actually come down to how well they performed against Everton funnily enough.

Maybe not every season. Most season, it is just two teams (United+someone else), but I think the point is that it's not just the same two teams EVERY SINGLE SEASON.

In just the Premier League era alone, there have been title challenges from smaller teams like Blackburn (who even won it, one year) and Newcastle. Liverpool were up there every year until recently. Arsenal won three in seven years. Chelsea won three in seven years (including two in a row). Manchester City finally broke through to win in 2011. Next season is looking nigh unpredictable.

Edit: LOL @ that Cavani transfer. They better not be offering Torres as part of the deal if they are paying that much money.

The problem in Spain is that everytime that a team improve a little (Athletico and Malaga this two years, Valencia, Sevilla and Villareal some years ago), in some moment the economic problems fuck that improvement. Sevilla won two UEFA leagues in a row (2005 and 2006) and one Europe SuperCup, now they don't classify for UEFA and they have to sell Navas. Villareal was awesome and now in the second division. Malaga almost eliminate Dortmunt and now is going to be screwed with Pellegrini, Isco, etc leaving. Valencia won two leagues and raised two champions league finals. Then, they continued to raise lot of great players, but they don't have money to keep them (Villa, Silva, Mata, etc. ). I just hope that Ahtletico get a good forward next year and continue Simeone work this two years.

Wow 10k posts and I had a 2 year start on you... congrats
Was looking at an article the other day with a headline something like 'Barca has spent 300m finding a partner for Messi' (thats after they bought Neymar) and I was thinking about how important of a player Eto was and how stupid the decision was to swap him plus 30m for Zlatan.
Is it just me or do you guys think that players that come into Barca (particularly strikers) that weren't homegrown have a hard time adapting to the extreme tiki-taka and because of that their general value goes down? What player has left Barcelona better than when he came in?

EDIT: Not saying in the history of Barcelona, just the Ronaldinho period and after
EDIT2: Or maybe Barcelona just don't sell the players that haven't failed until they get the most out of them

The spanish league discussion is so wrong. Yeah the tv rights are unfair, but most of the difference was made by stupid managerial mistakes. The spanish clubs have been so bad with finance for so many years now that what is happening is just logic... Barca and RM have many issues, I don't even know how they can afford to spend 60m€ (officially...) on one unproved guy; but they are so big and have such huge fanbases that they can survive where the other teams just die or lose every good player they have every year.
The day they start doing the things right, they will have the right to complain about tv rights (that I find 'fair' in a strictly economic point of view)...

The Valencia team was my favorite back then too! Villa Morientes Jaquain the crazy white haired goalkeeper lmao. So much fun. Was a fucking REAL achievement when Chelsea beat them in the Champions League all those years ago

Santiago Cañizares. What a boss that man was. Was so sad when he cried after the shoot-out against Bayern. Shame he was always the second choice. First behind Zubi, and then behind Casillas.

Why would you sell a player that's in his best moment? If you want to be the best team you don't sell those

The only ones I can remember are Ronaldo (really bad move by a terrible president) and Yaya Touré (Busquets took his spot in the starting eleven).

The Etoo for Ibra swap was the most retarded move indeed.

PD: Cañizares was a beast and a huge douche too

Lol no hands of Lukaku xD The next Drogba him <3 so strong, so quick, SOO GOSU! But i believe if we're keeping Torres or even if no Torres i think Lukaku might be going on loan to a team with European football.

Canizares was a boss, with his blond hair and his psycho eyes. Still remember him crying after losing in 2001.

Transfer has been officially confirmed.

Aston Villa have also signed Bulgarian forward Aleksandar Tonev.

Anyone watching WCQs atm? Croatia losing to Scotland, lol. And to make it worse Belgium are beating Serbia 1-0. And Kompany just took a knock after a collision with Serbia's keeper D:

Austria leading Sweden by 2:0, I am so surprised!
Lets hope they can keep their lead, Sweden managed to get back after being 0:4 against Germany so it's still dangerous and def. not over yet.
