Juventus looks really bad against LA Galaxy right now, even with a bunch of their regulars playing now (i.e. Pirlo, Marchisio, Giovinco, Llorente, Lichtsteiner, Barzagli). Maybe they just don't care about the game, but I dunno.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man

Italian teams are very famous for not giving a shit about friendlies and then rape in competition
Excepted for the last Confederation Cup :D

There's really not much point to draw any conclusions from friendlies maybe with an exception of players' individual displays of skill or incompetence. Most of the top team really don't give even 70% of their potential and wherever there are new signings, there is still huge lack of good communication between them and rest of the team. Plus the teams don't seem to be that concerned about defensive play whatsoever, so it naturally favours teams that play attacking football by choice. Frankly, noone can expect them to care about random pre-season games when they have from 40 to even 70 serious matches before them; it's like Starcraft fun showmatches before on-line season of mass gaming in Master League.

Any updates on Bale saga yet? There seemed to be so much stir about it and now, for a moment, total silence, except that they finally got Soldado (heard that it was one of the conditions for letting GB go). I wonder whether Tottenham board wants to be immortalized in Guiness World Record Book as the board that rejected the biggest bid in the history of the game.

So Settle beat Dallas that puts them @ 35. Portland and Vancouver tied, so Seattle is in the top 5 and Vancouver is out by default so that puts them in 4... in the West.

You can take your pick as to which Sunday paper is the least full of it:

-Cadena SER: Bale didn't leave his house all day Saturday, and has told Daniel Levy he won't leave unless it's to sign a contract with Real Madrid. No, seriously.
-Daily Mail: Tottenham owner Joe Lewis is now getting personally involved with the Bale negotiations, and will demand no less than £100m. Perez better hope this one is false...I wouldn't want to be on the other end of a Levy-Lewis negotiation tag team.
-Marca: Levy is "threatening" to force Bale to stay one more year. Also, Madrid want to make multiple payments for FFP reasons, with the first being no more than €25m.
-Telegraph: Spurs are furious at Real's current offer and won't even return to the bargaining table unless it is improved significantly.

The only concrete things to happen in the last two days were:

-Bale did not travel to Monaco for the friendly.
-AVB claimed in his press conference that the only communication between the clubs was Spurs telling Madrid that Bale is not for sale.
-Soldado said he wants Bale to stay.

Hope that helps.

Thanks! Holy shit, this is laughable; Bale going into house arrest... The rubbish newspapers could already start printing betting odds on how soon he will go on a hunger strike. Ridiculous drama.

BTW, random voice of a reason I recently saw on one of Polish sports forums (translated by me):

The biggest enemy of Real Madrid isn't FC Barcelona, FC Barcelona fanbase or any other top European clubs. The biggest enemy of Real Madrid is Florentino Perez - moronic president who, in name of fulfilling his absurd promises to the fans, is willing to pay 100 millions for a player worth at most half of this price. How the team is supposed to ever succeed, when the only policy it's owners know is to assemble all-stars from all around the world instead of thinking in advance if player X or Y really fits with a gameplan the team has. I'm saying this mainly because Mourinho understood this issue and now that he's gone, the whole Real Harleem Globtrotters circus appears to start over again.

Meh, I trust Perez a reasonable amount on the finance side. No point in having access to money and not investing if it will pay off financially. If RM's revenues are anything to judge by, he certainly seems good at it. Of course, footballing effectiveness is another question.

The thing is that he wants to pay Bale 120M to put him on the right, where he never played. Just dumb, if you want bale you let him on the left and ronaldo goes on the right, some say he is so versatile, let's prove it.

Actually Bale is most effective doing whatever the F he wants There have been plenty of games where hes just floated and the rest of the team is ordered to make adjustments around him (or so it seems)

Alot of games AVB's Mantra has basically looked like this..

"Give Bale ball"
"Bale go win game"

Similar to what Mancini's inter was like with Ibra.

but you dont get to do that RM. Doesnt mean he wont be good, but neither of those 2 scenarios makes him 100 million good, thats the issue with it.

In my opinion Bale is so much stronger than his mates in tot'num that it's a must to play like this. In RM Ronaldo already does that job.

multiple payments over how long is the question then. I can understand Tottenham's reluctance a lot more now, because if it's say 100 million spread out over 4 years that's not something Tottenham can really use in their plans to strengthen their squad immediately.

This is fucking ridiculous! 100M € for Bale is a fucking joke! He is not even worth 50M! He is nowhere near a CR7! This is a case of Ibrahimovic to Barca, Real president just wants to save his job and present a star - no matter how much debt they have to take on.

As long as Spain continues to back Barca and Real's debts instead of caring about the wasted young generation without any job, I don't see this ridiculous trend changing.

Please do explain how this deal would affect Madrid's financial position. I would like to see why you think this debt would be an issue.

So the guy gets the exact same (actually slightly better) stats last year as Ronaldo got for his last year at Man U (playing for a superior team) and he is 'nowhere near'? The guy is prime time. Not that I don't agree that 100m is a joke. But he is seriously one of the best prospects around now and has the potential to be one of the best in the world.
