PaulC Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Back to La Liga. A good win for Villareal yesterday and Valencia hold Atletico with a late equaliser which means they are only a point off Atletico, with Sevilla and Villareal a further 5/6 pts behind. It could be an interesting finish with El Clasico coming soon and I feel if Barcelona win that, thats the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) looks like Vietto going to Real Madrid in summer for 20 million and they have Danilo from Porto wrapped up as well Edited March 12, 2015 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Think Danilo looks nailed on to happen. Not sure on Vietto. Interest is there maybe but that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 United and Liverpool also have an interest in Vietto. Not sure it would be the right move for him move moving to Real now. He's had one season at Villareal after moving from Racing Club. Like to see him stay there another season, who knows they may be in the champions league next season either through finishing 4th or winning the europa league. Big game tonight against Sevilla. i think the winners of that tie could well go on and win the europa league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 It's an interesting one. I think he should probably stick around for another season but if he did move in the summer to Madrid he certainly has the potential to make that striker position his own. Benzema is a very good player but consistency can be an issue with him and I do honestly believe Vietto will turn out the better player. Problem is this season when they have been behind in games the options on the bench aren't up to much really. Jese looks a shadow of himself before the injury and Hernandez hasn't made an impact either. I think they will sign a striker in the summer but Vietto probably seems too much of a threat to Benzema so maybe they will look for another loan deal unless the club have had enough and get someone to rival him again. Adebayor/Hernandez signing and letting Higuain go suggests the club haven't looked for someone to rival him for a while but accommodate him in the squad. Maybe that might change in the summer.

PaulC Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Yes without doubt, Vietto is one of the best young strikers in world football right now. His options are going to be numerous. Theres the buyout clause of 20 mil euros as well, so every big club in Europe will be looking at him. Maybe we could do a part exchange deal with Benteke How has James Rodríguez done for Real. I know he was the star of the world cup but sense he hasn't lived up to expectation. Edited March 12, 2015 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Benzema isnt going anywhere, he is Florentino Perez favourite player hence why managers usually got in trouble for preferring Higuain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regular_john Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 So, I'm going to be in Barcelona next weekend and would very much like to see El Clasico live and in person. Question - how the hell do I do this? Is there any chance of getting tickets without spending £500? I've never been to a Barcelona game, let alone El Clasico, so have literally no idea what the chances are of getting a ticket. Thoughts? Advice?

villa4europe Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 My general advice for trying to get barca tickets in this country is don't get them through anyone operating in England, the commission they want is ridiculous, try and find an English bloke / company living in barca who will get you the tickets and deliver them to your hotel, think I paid about £10 per ticket extra that way, some English sites wanted £50 extra per ticket These thomas cook football specials etc are a piss take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I think your best option at this late juncture is to see a tout outside the ground and pay €250 for a single seat in the upper upper upper mezzanine. Either that or go via a ticket exchange site which is essentially the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted March 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 13, 2015 I went to El Classico for my 30th back in 2004 I never had a ticket but rolled up at the Nou Camp before kick off. Managed to get 4 of us tickets through socios basically Barca have fans from all over Spain so my guy was from Majorca his normal companions could not make it so he sold me their tickets for face value. Was on the 2nd tier towards the corner flag. In the bars for the week leading upto the game you get touts offering tickets for 400-500 euros. I was willing to take a chance at the ground though.

Stevo985 Posted March 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) There's an official stand on La Rambla that sells Barcelona tickets. It's about halfway between the Columbus monument and Placa de Catalunya, I'd guess slightly further up than Placa Reial. It's in the middle on the main strip, on the right hand side (if you're walking towards placa de catalunya) Might be worth trying there if you want an official ticket. No idea if they'll have any or what they'd cost though! Edited March 13, 2015 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Isn't it called Las Ramblas? Also interested in how James is getting on at Real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Wonder if Bale will return to England next season. Obviously Real would have to sell him at a huge loss, but not good when the supporters and the leading newspaper are against you. Valencia will go 3rd tonight.

NoelVilla Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 De Gea changed for Bale…some money to of course. Its La Rambla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Anyone surprised Vietto didn't get a call up to the Argentina squad? higuain, messi, tevez, aguero, lavezzi... icardi is playing really well this year too as for las rambla, las ramblas is just the plural, the whole stretch is more than 1 street all starting with rambla and i think they might even incorporate the some of the side streets too so neither are actually wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 For me only Messi and Aguero are better than Vietto right now so yes I am surprised he hasn't been called up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
