Mat Kendrick's Dentist Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 22 hours ago, VillaChris said: Jackson Martinez for the money they spent on him was a massive flop although they recouped most of that when China came calling. Lacazette's an interesting one...looked brilliant for Lyon a few years back and still scores regularly as you'd expect in the French league. However he's been passed at international level by all the outstanding young French strikers coming through...didn't make the cut for euro 2016 and same could happen for the world cup so can understand he thinks it's now time to step up a level and play for a regular CL team. Guess that guarantees Greizmann is moving on. I'm hoping the opposite is true! Griezmann and Lacazette are long-time friends, having come through in the same France age group (both Lyon lads too). Griezmann has even told French press that he wants Lacazette to be included in the national squad on several occasions, so I'm hoping Atleti are signing him to appease Griezmann while getting an excellent player at the same time.

Zatman Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Sevilla lost again, Sampaoli really has lost the plot in last 2 or 3 months since he was linked with bigger jobs either he has ran the players ragged or he has only one game plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Soler? He's been a bright spot under Voro. As has Zaza, which some will find hard to believe! Still seems to be a big split between players and fans though. Cancelo turning on his fans (and vice versa) after his goal this week was just the latest example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Valencia fans are one of the most impatient fans in the world. The expectations are huge and most dont realise yet that they arent in the top 4 anymore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Madrid derby this afternoon. Atletico doesn't really have anything to play for, but I'm sure they like nothing more than to derail the Real title bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Just had a look at their run in and tbf bar playing the Clasico away it looks pretty easy, Madrid have a very tough away game to fit in v Celta Vigo near the end of the season. Hard to see Barca actually dropping many points. Dodgy one might be Las Palmas away as they've been pretty strong at home this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Its could be all down to el clasico with the draw favouring Real. Atletico at least have made it more interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
