    Article: Loan Watch- Issue #2 | Football, Liverpool

    BTW on the Pacheco deal there is a fixed price which is undisclosed, rumoured to be 2m euros. So if he plays well we can buy him for that price

    Sebastian Coates Bid

    Seen him a few times and he looks a very good, no-nonsense defender. Strong and good at tackling. Should be a good signing for you lot, I also hope it means that you will leave Godin alone now.

    Europa Draw

    Is that thing about Celtic true? Does anyone know when the decision will be made?

    Pacheco off to Athletico

    Because we are apparently close to signing Diego Ribas so Pacheco won't get many games there(we also have other players in that position) Falcao up front with decent back up and the wings are covered with Reyes and Arda Turan so there is no space for him in the first 11. There is also no point...

    Pacheco off to Athletico

    I am happy that you seem to regard him highly, the deal is that you loan him to us and then we do likewise to Rayo. It is reported that we have the option to purchase him for 2 million euro's at the end of the season so if he doesn't impress he will go back to you, although reading some of your...

    "How will Man Utd replace the likes of Giggs, Scholes and Van De Sar?".

    Depends on the opposition really, some cross a lot but our back line last year was all over 6ft and good in the air. Him shouting keeper is new and it is good to see him still progressing

    "How will Man Utd replace the likes of Giggs, Scholes and Van De Sar?".

    He never come out for crosses for us though. His strong points were quick reactions and distribution. Was surprised to see him start badly but he does sometimes suffer from nerves. At the bernabeu he was shaking under the pressure and made mistakes. However I still believe he will become world...

    Couldn't watch the game, was De Gea better for you today?

    Article: Barca era of dominance looks set to continue | Football, La Liga, Barcelona, Manchester United

    They are good to watch when your team are not playing them. Although, when your team plays them you get very frustrated, not just because they keep the ball for ages but they get away with a lot of fouls and dives which other teams wouldn't. Saying that though, beating them is very satisfying

    Aguero Or Carroll

    I support Atletico and I know Aguero is right footed but he is quality with his left as well

    Forlan, Diego....

    Last years pre season saw our stupid owners buy four non eu players and you are only allowed 3 in la liga so it was between Salvio and Diego Costa of who stayed and who went out on loan. Costa impressed more, so Salvio went to Benfica on loan with a 15m euro clause. Costa had a fairly poor...

    Forlan, Diego....

    Yeah, I was hoping the table would end up 3 Valencia 4 Atletico 5 Malaga 6 Sevilla the Valencia 'exodus' is just rumours from the English press I think, I believe that Mata will stay and they will be strong this year. I just hope Atletico can learn from them as when they sold their two best...

    Spain Vs. Rest of the World

    Futre and Kiko were quality players in their day so judging on those 2 it will be a match consisting of legends played at a really slow pace with a bit of magic every so often. Calderon has a good atmosphere when Atleti are playing so, hopefully it will be likewise for this event. Are you going?

    Forlan, Diego....

    Agreed, even more recently, after the Europa league we could have gone on to something but we finished 7th and failed in all cups. Futre was sensational, think he is playing in that la liga tournament mentioned in an earlier post (post no 31)
