According to the Times, La Liga is close to adopting a collective revenue model for television revenues. I think that's a good thing and am surprised it's even a remote possibility.

Since the Times has a paywall, have a free site link about it too:

Can't wait till James Rodriguez shows up to the Real locker room all excited to start training and Arbeloa, Carvajal, Illarramendi and the rest of the shitcloggers nobody cares about are already doing their gay rear end runs and he tries to join them but Ronaldo stops him and pulls him into a dark room, Sergio Ramos, Bale and Kroos already getting their sweat on with the real heavy weights they've been hiding, Pepe sticking a needle up his arm just smiles at the boy. James is looking at this all unsure and doubtful, this isn't how they used to do it in France but Ronaldo just winks and tells him "You can spot me" and he knows it's on, no way back from this....drat is it hot in here?? i'm sweating

Deulofeu is a lazy little gently caress who will never make it because he relies on pure skill.

Yeah so you should definitely give up on players that are doing suboptimal things in the U19s because they'll never be able to be trained out of it, you're a loving idiot

This seems a bit harsh. I think the biggest problem is he has had years and years to learn to play the way Barcelona want him to. They want forwards to defend once they've lost the ball and to pass first dribble next. Deulofeu seems unwilling to play this way. He is very talented but doesn't fit the system. I'm not sure why it makes you so angry that Barcelona don't want him.

He would have more of a chance of playing the'barcelona way' if they hadn't decided to just loan him out to whoever would take him. Its yet more comically terrible mismanagement which exemplifies modern day barcelona.

Nah, Deulofeu is not a case of terrible mismanagement. He's not good enough to play for them. There are plenty of examples of modern day Barcelona doing retarded things, this isn't one of them.

Barcelona's problem is that they don't think Deulofeu is the type of player they want him to be and yet rather than work with him they're fobbing him off in his formative years to whatever club will take him and praying they do the job for them. This is the Chelsea strategy of youth development and they will definitely just end up selling Deulofeu in the next couple years if this carries on, which would be a mistake because he's incredibly talented. It's almost as if they're forgetting he's still only 20.

It's almost like you're forgetting they've been working with him for like 7 ears already and he won't change. You're also forgetting there are lots of other incredibly talented players at Barcelona that do play the way they want already.

It amazes me that you people think that making the conscious decision to chase the ball after you lose it has anything to do with developing as a player or maturing.

He's lazy. That's not something that at 20 you suddenly mature enough to learn. He relies on skill because he's a lazy little gently caress. He doesn't play defense because he's a primadonna. He walks all the time because he doesn't think he needs to run.

These aren't issues that he will learn by getting older and more experience.

Can't say that I'm surprised that Ronaldo fans are forever consumed with who's considered the best in the world. It's a lot like their idol Ronaldo, only worried about silly individual statistics and perceptions of himself while Messi is content to help his team be at the top of the league with no concern about his individual accolades.

It's one of the many obvious reasons Barcelona will walk the league this year.

Maybe if you hadn't spent €117 million on Neymar you would have enough money to buy a quality defender. Makes you think.

Worth every penny, and now they have 5 quality central defenders. Top squad management imo.

Oh yeah, Ronaldo is a great wingman in the club for sure. You can just tell. Pepe and Marcelo having no luck on the dancefloor, those ugly looking Mother Fuckers trying to grind on the beautiful ladies and they just back off, don't want nothing to do with them, my man Cristiano sees this and immediately stops talking to his fans which he does all the time and goes and breaks the ice with the girls with his killer smile and lets them know what great guys his friends are and how he wouldn't score all those goals if those guys weren't covering for him. I've never witnessed it myself but I mean, you can just tell what type of guy he is. Unbelievable charisma, getting his buddies laid on the regular while taking nothing for himself. Not only a better player than Messi or Neymar, but also a better man, that's what life is all about.

I think he's a bit desperate tbh, he sees the goal difference between himself and Ronaldo (Ron has 15 in 7 matches, Messi has 7 in 8 matches in the league) and can probably once again feel the Ballon d'Or flying away from his reach, and he's trying desperately to grasp it with his little midget fingers but it gets further and further away. Just speculating here, but looking at his recent nervousness he's probably been having nightmares where he forgot his suit and shows up naked to the awards show and everyone points at his small hosed up dick and all he sees is Ronaldo laughing at him and hell, I can't blame him, gotta admit Cristiano also shows up in my dreams once in a while.
