    2 teams I want to see do well. Dortmund obviously and Atletico Madrid.

    Barca x Villareal on later today. Should be a good game that as the yellow submarines are back on the rise.

    Dodgy penalty that Neymar scored from.

    Montoya is playing at RB for Barca tonight as well.

    Montoya is starting to mount a fair few games for Barca now, for this reason I don't see him joining in January.

    His decision making can be useless at times! Has talent, has pace, energy, good going forward but that final ball is shocking, well at least today.

    Napoli 4-2 Inter at the moment. Bit of revenge for Rafa with this this one.

    I can see why we were interested. Bit of a monster.

    Him & Henri Ryan both looking very good. Shows that BR can pick a good player <ok>

    Just think if we had CL we could have possibly got 1 of those!

    Top of the table and the chance to play along side Suarez? Could be enough to convince one or two big names in Jan? CL players who aren't happy at current clubs and the like

  15. We were never getting both IMO, if we had gone one of them then we might not have seen Sakho arrive since Skrtel and Coates didn't leave #budget

    True, my point was more around the fact that 2 players BR had picked out and was willing to spend big money on are producing the good. Add in Sakho who big money was spent on and is performing well, looks like he can be trusted to spend big money when needed. This might help convince the owners to allow him to sign a top quality player in Jan/summer rather than them feeling cautious due to having their hands burnt when Kenny/Comollo were in charge (ignoring Suarez)

  17. I agree. Also, I'm assuming big money is anything OVER £15m? :bandit:

    Over £16m then it doesn't include Henderson which will only start an argument as to whether he was money well spent of not <whistle>

  19. BR didn't buy Henderson anyway <ok>

    I was referring to the last part when I said trusting Kenny/commoli with spending big (ignoring Suarez).
