The_Rev Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Oops. Still, Mark Hughes once played for Wales and Bayern Munich in the same day and it didn't do him much harm so maybe Eibar will thrive on having a second chance in the cup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Gary Neville losing again. Valencia have been pretty poor, Sociedad should've been 1 up long before this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 transfer ban for both Madrid clubs, I expect some heavy movement now from Real before end of window. Maybe back in for De Gea or a big name striker maybe Aguero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Wouldn't surprise me if they got this summer through an appeal, like Barca did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Just tuned in to watch Valencia Rayo and within a minute Valencia let in a goal lol. If they lose this one Neville's going to be under massive pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 getting outplayed at Mestalla as well by Rayo, he will be under enormous pressure funnily enough they are doing well in the cup and when Koeman was there they were atrocious in the league with them in a relegation battle and won the cup so maybe lightning strike twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Koeman still got sacked shortly afterwards I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Just caught up on some of the goals from earlier. Has Gareth Bale turned into Dion Dublin or something? He's just scoring header after header after header this season. There have been whispers about Real planning to cash in on Ronaldo while he's still worth a bit of money (PSG keep getting linked) and I think if this transfer ban hadn't have happened then it might have happened this summer because Bale looks like the sort of player who can fill in for Ronaldo. Maybe he won't' be as prolific but I'm not sure that actually matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Bale's problem has always been the transfer fee. His stats at Madrid are very good in their own right and he's produced in big games...well the first season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I'm not even sure it's the transfer fee, it's more Ronaldo's seemingly weird attitude to not being the most expensive player in the world and people (including the media) in Madrid's willingness to pander to him. I'm not sure you can make any argument against Bale being a huge success on the pitch in Madrid, he's averaging a goal every other game which is great for anybody but for a guy who role in the team doesn't place as high a priority on scoring as Ronaldo or Benzema it's doubly impressive. Bale scores all kinds of goals too, the trademark screamers are still there but he can get in behind the last man, he can poach and all of a sudden he's scoring headers like they are going out of fashion. A fabulous talent, I don't think we've had a Brit do so well overseas since Chris Waddle was strutting his stuff in France 25 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I meant more why people criticise him e.g. when he misses a chance or dosen't perform in a big game...it's always "an 80m player should be better or scoring that." Also people saying he should be scoring as many as Ronaldo does etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That centred on his lack of application during games, especially towards defending, and I have to say there was a degree of validity to it. The stats don't reveal the whole truth of his time in Spain, it's been patchy and not an unqualified success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 But Bale has always been that kind of player. He's an explosive footballer, he's rarely the guy who dominates games but more a guy who will win you tight matches and produce decisive moments in big games. Madrid knew what they were buying and I think they have got precisely that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) I see Suarez is now top scorer in la liga with 18 goals after his hat-trick tonight. When you count his assists as well, he's right up there now with the best in the world. Edited January 17, 2016 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
