Vicente was beast, but I always worry about the injuries nowadays, how is Mata looking over there Wicket, bits I have seen he looks great. He can play LW but has played a second striker a lot as I understand it as well. Damn Valencia are stacked at LW lol

I havent seen as much of Valencia as I would like (mainly because streams of spanish competitions are bad and i dont speak spanish, besides that they play at saturday night usually). what i did see of him he performed okay though. Its so annoying that Valencia has all their good players at the same positions. Valencia played decent offensively all over although they have trouble finding a stable second striker (mata playing out of position was an experiment and he played hard and stuff but its not his natural position), they spend a whole lot of money on transfers of guys like zigic, morientes and a whole lot of other players.
Whas Mata a former red? If not what is your link with him ;)?

Do you think City will go after Affelay? Im not really sure how to feel if they do. I'd be sad to see him go but we can do a whole lot of improving with at least €15 mln (I wouldnt wanna see him go for less obviously)

My XI:
-------------------.Casillas.-----------------------------
.Evra.--------.Vidic.------.Ferdinand.-------.Maicon.
--------.Xavi.---.Mascherano.---Gerrard.-----------
----------.Ronaldo.----------.Messi.-------------------
---------------------.Torres.-------------------------------
I quite like that. I get Ronaldo and Messi in there which is big because they are the best 2 in the world imo. Shame Kaka is left out, but I think this is a heck of a team.

Honestly, who knows. It seems that Man City are buying eveeryone from everywhere. That said I wouldn't peg him as being someone Man City need to improve. IMO they shouldn't, but they might.

Wo gotta disagree there. I think he's still underrated. He's not flashy and wont get a load of goals but just ask Steven Gerrard how effective he is. Anyway my 11 would be
---------------------Casillas-------------------------
-----Maicon---Vidic-------------Terry----A Cole------
-----------Gerrard---Essien---Iniesta-----------------
--Messi--------------Torres-------------Ronaldo-----

Terry, really? He was pretty average this year and wasnt elite the year before.

Russia smoked Finland today 3-0 in Helsinki.
Looks like the stage is set for the Russia-Germany game in Moscow.

So Ronaldo is going to Real for Ł80million. I'm not a fan of this at all but like a lot of people are saying, it was 'inevitable'.

I would have rather taken Ribery, but I guess Perez knows what he is doing. It's his money not mine to burn. Hala Madrid! Welcome CR7.

real has a 300 million euro budget... so they've got money to burn through I guess. they've just gone through their budget with Ronaldo and Káká signed... amazing.
I still doubt it's going to be the instant success people are hoping for, but we'll see. The more superstars Madrid buys the more I'm rooting for barça to kick their ass.

I find the whole Ronaldo saga funny. Particularly because of the many friends I have who go for Man Utd.
Tottenham for Premiership Glory 09/10!!!!!

Ha I'm glad to see Ronaldo out of the Premiership. A bit afraid of what ManU will do with all that money. Hopefully they'll waste most of it on Ribery.
