Won't do fackall in Europe, though.

I think they might do very well next season if they get their targets and keep Pogba and Vidal, the switch to 4-3-3 will also help a lot

But they'll still have Tevez up front.

Good read, wump. Hope Valencia can get back on track.

Mex, ok cheers. I have heard Berardi might go on loan for another season.

There is certainly a great amount of hope that will happen and there hasn't been any of that for a long time in those quarters. All it will take is for them to be smart in the transfer market and they will be a force again in a few years to come. Getting fourth place next year will be crucial though. It won't be easy with Athletic, Sociedad and Villarreal all fighting for that spot.

how do ppl see the holland-spain match going ?

i think it'll be a draw

1-0 Spain

Win for Spain 2-0

Why on earth did they allow Verrati to go to PSG though! I was pretty shocked when that happened. They aren't far from being being a force in Europe though. The right signings and they are suddenly one of the favorites.

Agreed, wump. Gonna be interesting to see who they sign.

Such a shame what happened to Valencia. Can you imagine what team a they'd have had if they could have kept hold of the likes of Villa, Silva, Mata and Isco.

Verratti was never their player Wump

Spain win 2-1.

Juve are bottlers. They'll never be a force in Europe again. Serie A need Milan to sort their act out for that to happen.

Spain to win 3-1. The Dutch are going to play 5 at the back?

Anyone else think Diego Costs is overrated as a footballer?, I'd still start David Villa in Spain's set up

I know, what I meant was they didn't make an attempt to sign him from Pescara.

surely serie A will return to challenge la liga and the prem in europe ?...eventually

So would I. Still the best striker for Spain, in my opinion.

Well they signed Pogba instead while still having Pirlo, Vidal and Marchisio so wasn't really a priority

No I don't want to imagine that. I would just become sad

Maybe in about ten years.

Serie A needs both Milan clubs in the Champions League

Inter can fack off

Prilo was aging though, and he would have been the ideal long term replacement.

Verratti wouldn't really have wanted to be a back up for the next 3 years though would he?
