The possibility of James Rodriguez being totally overrated is very high.
Losing Di Maria would weigh much bigger than getting Rodriguez and Falcao.

Best team ever @ Mensol? Come on. I don't see that at all.

i agree except for the fact that real is playing high speed counter football so im not sure a slow kroos fits that too well

Oh you come on, James Rodriguez is younger and showed better performance than Di Maria at WC, He is going to be even better under Zidane. Falcao is one of the best finisher out there, one can say that his finishing skills are as good as Suarez.

James Rodriguez's shirts are already on sale in Spanish capital.

The problem is that they will have to abandon the 4-3-3 without Di Maria, and Ronaldo and Bale didn't play well together in a 4-2-3-1 setup last season.

You talk as if James was already such an accomplished world class player. What did he do before WC? Scored 9 goals in Ligue 1? Good to know.
I don't doubt that he has a lot of potential but he has to prove first. Especially in a team where he is just on amongst many.
Sure, Falcao is also very good but a whole bunch of great players do not automatically build a great team, we should all have learned this by now.

Don't understand me wrong, they might very well become even better than last year because they have a great coach. But best team EVER? You know there were teams who won the CL thrice in a row?

Buy a second shweinstegger? Does such a phenom exist?

Yaya Toure?

edit:


Great friendly, pretty entertaining. Love that the third Sounders goal was 3 young homegrown players from our Academy. Yedlin was brilliant in the game too, burned his mark so many times down the right side and put in great crosses. The penalty was the only mistake he had, showed some inexperience putting that arm up.

Why did you take this serious MapleLeafSirup? Even if they arent going to be best team ever, they'll be close to it, at least on the paper.

Kroos is decent but he's scored some great goals with shots from distance which he's really good at. That's why people probably rate him a bit too high.

The thing with Kroos is that he is super hard to judge. He doesnt fill the stats sheed nor has a massive amount of ball contacts like a Lahm or Thiago, his strenght is more giving balance, having great positional play and his side to side passes.

He played a lot of games recently but you could argue he benefited from injuries. 2012/13 he wasnt there in the end against Barca and Dortmund (Robben was out of the starting eleven, who knows whhat would have happend).
13/14 he played a massive amount of games but in a Bayern team that was enormosly plaged with injuries. In the current roster if anybody is healthy he would battle with Thiago, and Schweinsteiger for 2 and depending on the system with Martinez, Alaba, Götze, Müller for 3 spots in the lineup. Would he play this much i dont know.
Same with the National team is there a starting 11 spot for him with a healthy Khedira, Schweinsteiger and Reus as well as Özil and Götze beeing in shape?

He is great but he is at his best if the system works for him and in a team with Bale and Ronaldo this will not happen. If he would have joined ManUnited and Van Gaal builds a system around him he would be the best player in PL without doubt but i am a bit afraid that he will be there for league games and overall depth and not play in the big games.

I can never understand directors like Woodward who go on TV talking about how rich Man Utd is and how there's no set budget because of how much bank we have. Arsenal did it last season and every team tried to rip them off.
