What Mourinho really wanted was to coach Barca, he got really upset when they chose Pep over him.

Is there any chance of C Ronaldo leaving Madrid for Man Utd? The papers seem to be very definitive, and Calderon confirmed that Man Utd have been talking to Madrid about it.

Hahaha no, Cristiano Ronaldo has a one billion Euro release clause, RM aren't selling him for less than that.

I find that story utterly ridiculous. Serious question: how can you still put your heart behind your team when they basically announce they'll be doping?

What?

Neymar had his tonsils removed recently so this might be related to that, not everything has to be doping related...

Barcelona scores just fine. The front line is Messi, Neymar, and Iniesta/Pedro/Sanchez. I think we're ok.

Not when we face a team of not-midgets, like Chelsea or Bayern, we need a big strong lad up top for those sort of games.

Here is the reason doping is a problem in football. Anyone who dies of a 'undiagnosed heart defect' probably was EPO'd up to the gills.

Who cares, they get paid more money in a week than most people in a whole year to kick a ball around a field, the risk is minimal anyway, there are very few deaths in football considering how widespread doping is.

How many people dying is too many for you? The people dropping dead aren't the rich ones either usually, its the ones trying to break into the big time.

It happens in literally every sport on earth, some people choose to pretend it doesn't exist but if you like top level sports then you have to accept your favorite athlete is doping.

If Barca was poo poo and Spain was poo poo and they never won anything you and "Tom" wouldn't give a poo poo about Fuentes or anything and you wouldn't bother trolling this thread periodically.

Go post about in the doping thread or start one if there isn't one and stop making GBS threads up this thread if you care so much about it then.

Also stop pretending Spanish clubs are the only ones doing it because I don't see you posting constantly about it in the EPL or Serie A threads, the only time you or tom post here is to either poo poo on someone or to post about doping. You're boring.

No right minded person can count on Puyol. I love him but its irresponsible for a team to count him amongst their options. What Barcelona is then left with is one excellent CB, one good CB who is a liability on balls in the air, and one unproved CB who hasn't looked strong in his last outings. Seeing as how Mascherano has a tendencies of picking up cards over the course of the season I'm very worried. The team is just being stubbornly irresponsible at this point. Theyre allowed to sign players who aren't big name stars.

Honestly at this point I'll be happy with just a CB who isn't a kid and who is taller than 1.80m.

I don't think they're being stubborn. It's not easy to find a CB that will fit into the passing style of the team, and also someone who is good enough to displace the others already there. There is still time left, and 99% of the transfer chatter I read involving Barcelona involves them searching for a CB. Combine the difficulty finding the right player with the fact they just got a new manager along with their first three choices not being available and it's not shocking they haven't signed one yet.

The only signing this year has been Neymar. It's not like they've signed 5 players and no CB. They signed Neymar and have been working on a CB ever since. The management have all said publicly they are trying to find a CB.

La Liga starts next week though, they have to hurry up and sign someone fast, Mascherano wasn't exactly known for his passing before joining Barcelona and he adapted just fine, Puyol also can't pass for poo poo and he's team captain, we just need someone who can loving defend, leave the passing to Pique and the other 9 players on the field.

Theres a school of thought that says Rosell let him go because he didnt want the team to potentially be set back by heartbreak again should anything happen to him.

Thats not my school of thought though, I think Rosell should get to gently caress and let Laporta come back. The CB problems not being solved at all since his entrance is another symptom of his bad management IMO.

Edit: ridiculous mistakes

The one who's really awful at his job is Zubizarreta not Rosell, too bad Txiki Begiristain went to ManCity he was great.

Marca, literally 7 hours ago:

http://www.marca.com/2013/08/18/futbol/equipos/real_madrid/1376822231.html

Casillas comes back home. The keeper will once again defend Real Madrid's goal in an official game and will do so at the Santiago Bernabeu. Iker will be in the starting lineup against Betis and is favored, at least right now, to Diego Lopez. Ancelotti wants to recover normal feelings and will respect the captain's seniority.

From then on, it'll be Iker who will have to consolidate himself on the team, knowing that Ancelotti will not hesitate to bench him if need be. He must take into account that the coach considers him and Diego two great keepers.

What Ancelotti hasn't wanted to make public is the decision he's taken.
