You are joking for sure.

That's really bad but that's a normal situation in football... anyway I think he will be out for a good time. He had no intention to break the leg of the other player that's a normal reaction. Figo also destroyed the carreer of the player Cesar Jimenez 10 years ago. Things like this happen: One thing is a normal moment of the game, other thing is what Pepe did to Casquero, or Keane to Haland, or Suarez for the third time. That's assualt and yes out of a football pitch can be a crime.

Real Madrid president said some weeks ago to Cadena Ser that definitely Pogba and Aguero won't play next season in Madrid. If we want him it doesn't seem we are going to have problems with that club... at least this season. I would buy him for any club in the world, but if he comes here I think we should sell Ramires and Mikel or Van Ginkel.

Now... And 1 year ago, 2 years ago, 3 years ago... That new era in football started today? Because there are 25 AM costing more than 30M£ that I can remember (Cristiano, Figo, Bale, Alexis, Hulk, Hazard, Neymar, Gotze, etc, etc, etc.) Yes you can buy ALaba for 30M£ or 40M£... Today prices are really inflated... but not for Shaw. It's a left back, at the age of 18 that played 0 big games in his life.

I can tell you 10 or 20 AM that cost more money (maybe even more). Tell me how many left or right backs you know that cost 30M£ in the past. Today James is the new Cristiano, or the new Pele?

And like the game we draw at home (I think it was WBA) the Everton game away, the Newcastle game away and many others where we had 30 clear goal chances and we missed them all.

I think this is to avoid pressure. Chelsea next season will be a lot better, and I don't think any team can improve as much as us. City already had a great team (but next season 1 year older, and they are not kids anymore), Liverpool and Arsenal don't have the money to do a super team, and Man United... is a surprise they obviously will do a lot better but they were mediocre last season. Man City is the rival but right now they have problems with the best player (Yaya), Aguero has a lot of injuries, and they have the finantial fair play problem also. I think we will start the season as the first favourites.

About Messi and Neymar...Messi have a diference between in games of something like 8 games, 6 penaltys for Messi, Neymar in Barcelona doesn't take set pieces and he is a specialist but he have there Xavi and Messi, he started half the games, had a lot of problems there... of course Messi is better than Neymar but Neymar is really young, and he for example scored 35 goals for the national team in Brazil, he was by far the best player in south America with at the age of 18 or 19, Neymar is special.And in the next seasons he will reach almost that numbers, there is no doubt about it. And for example if you have a winger that without penaltys score 20 goals and other that scores 10 there is no doubt about who is the best. This is not about what is more wonderful or not, it's about efficiency. And a great player like RObben can't compete with Messi or Ronaldo, the same way a great player like Hazard playing the way he plays he can't compete with Bale or Neymar. There is any doubt thar in the next years if Neymar and Bale play 30 games in the starting eleven they will make 25 goals per season at least?

Tell me how many wingers do you know scoring more than 20 goals in League in big countries (England, Spain, Italy and Germany, if you can't find many you can also check Portugal, France and Holland or Brazil for example) in the the past 10 or 15 years with no penaltys. I can start that list: Messi (is a false nine, but he was a winger some years ago) Cristiano Bale Let's see how many we can find. You are telling me that Tottenham plays a lot more attacking football than Chelsea. This is one of the worst seasons of Messi but he played a lot more than Neymar for example even with a big injury.

It says that he is at best one more player in Barcelona, Believe me when I say that Barcelona fans see Barcelona games, and know how their players play. Alexis is a really good player, I would buy him for Chelsea, and before the world cup I said it here (maybe today is a little more difficult because he is playing well in the WC), but he will be a star player in a team like TOttenham or Atletico or even Milan nowadays. In big clubs he will be one more player... And Hazard is a lot better than Alexis in my opinion. Even Ibrahimovic is not a player to win a Ballon D'Or and Fabregas also, they are great but... and people liked Etoo and Ibra, the problem with them was another one. Both of them had problems with Guardiola and Messi and obviouslly they couldn't continue in the team. The problem with Alexis is that he is not that good and Barcelona needs money to buy another players. One thing is talent another thing is the performance of the player in one game, in one competition or in one season. Even with a bad and difficult season Neymar had good numbers in Barcelona(he was not in the starting eleven a lot of times), he leads Brazil with quality, and scored a lot of goals in Brazil in the past. Bale did it well in Madrid even with a lot of games out, he did it perfect in Tottenham. And both are young, in the first season out of their country, and already have something great to show in their past. No other young player can say that. ANd more important when you look at their numbers they will definately score 20/30 goals per season in the future in a consistent way. SOmething no other winger today will do.

Well... and Alexis is 3 years older, is in the third season in Barcelona, never scored more than 20 goals in any competition (in Barcelona, Udinese or River or any other team), no one in Barcelona likes him, and before the world cup they were trying to sell him for something like 30M€. You look at Neymar numbers this season (and I said it was a bad first season for him in Barcelona) and in the past and Neymar is a lot better than Alexis every day of the week.

Neymar has 26 games... but he started 19... that's not normal and only is hapening because Barcelona has a great team. A 22 years old guy. in his first season in Barcelona, with a world cup in his country that season, and the ex president is almost in jail because of the way he was bought. You know the difference between Alexis and Neymar? Neymar is better, younger, played a lot less games, and Neymar already scored that number of goals... something that Alexis won't do. I'm not saying they will reach that level, I don't predict the future... 50 goals in one league like Messi or 17 in CHampions League like Ronaldo (and every time more than 30 goals for the past 5 or 6 years in League)... maybe no one can do it.But the only players that will do something like that (something like 30 goals in league) especially being wingers are Bale and Neymar.Because their numbers show it.

And when Bale was scoring 21 goals in the Premiere League it was all luck (with the same age Hazard has less 10 goals without penaltys)... or because of the great players he had in the team. Bale started 24 games in Madrid for the League, he was not in the stating eleven in 14 games(Neymar started 19, half the games in La Liga). And he has that numbers. The numbers Ronaldo and Messi have are only comparable with the ones Bale and Neymar have. When Neymar and Bale play in the starting eleven 30 times per season, in the second or third season in Spain they will score more than 20/30 goals without any problem. No other winger can do it, and that's why Bale and Neymar are right now the future in football. Hazard is really good, but if he wants to be the number one he needs to improve a lot. Being like Robben is really good, but Robben is not a player to fight for the Ballon D'Or every season. In reality he fought for none of them and he is great.

2 years ago the best player in the PL. THis season in his first season in Spain 22 goals (again no penaltys), for sure the same number of assists, determinant goals in the 2 thophies Madrid won. If you think it's not good enough I don't know what would be. Bale is like Cristiano, not as good but the guy is impressive and will be one of the contenders for the place of best player in the world. THis kind of players - Cristiano and Messi - are directly involved in 80 goals per season in their teams. And Bale and Neymar will do the same in 1 or 2 seasons.And that are the best players in the world. When we say, INiesta is incredible, RObben is incredible, or no Ribery is the best.Some people like a lot the tiki taka style, others something more direct. But in the case of this 4 players, it's a question of numbers,and it's undeniable. Btw, Bale was better than Neymar in the club without any doubt.

I think he will have problems in the club (maybe he will continue in Liverpool not just because of the punishment but because Madrid os Braça won't want a player like this). FiFA should punish him for months, for not only what he did but also because it's the third time.

Neymar is not at that level in this momentbut he is that kind of player they are. Neymar is not between the 10 best players in the world, But he wll be. He started 19 games (half the games) in Barcelona in La Liga, in his 1st year in Europe. It's not what was expected but he is really young. For example Messi was out for months with an important injury and played a lot more than Neymar. Hazard also did it in Chelsea... he started something like more 14 games than Neymar.and nearly the same goals (without penaltys), Neymar is clearly a player that will score more than 20 goals (I would say 30 goals) per season every season in the future, ANd this season was in my opinion really bad from Neymar in Barcelona. But... he is special.

DOn't think they are, Bale in his last season playing in TOttenham did that. When you have a wnger that scores more than 20 goals with no penaltys he is amazing. You can't score 20 goals in that position without playing 20 really good games, and that's consistency. Neymar is different, Neymar is like Cristiano, Messi and Bale. A really great player, that plays well in a lot of games but also have incredible numbers. That are the Ballon D'or kind of players and the most determinant in any team. Even Robben and Ribery, they are not that kind of player... and Hazard is far from the quality of this 2 players.

RIght now Bale is also better than Hazard, he scored 21 goals without 1 penalty 2 years ago with the same age Hazard has, And he is playing for Madrid scoring decisive goals in Copa and in CHampions. Ribery is also in another level. FOr me Neymar is by far the best young player in the world. He needs to do a lot more in Barcelona but his talent is really clear, and he is a little younger than Hazard. Hazard needs to do more if he wants to be one of the best players in the world.

Suarez is imposible for multiple reasons. Madrid want him and in reality no player would say no to Madrid in normal conditions , he will cost more than 80M€ to Madrid and for Chelsea he would cost even more, and finally Mourinho was not that kind with him so I think he would want to go to any other team than going to CHelsea. He is the best in the world... we can't have him...

Anyone that saw La Liga can say Diego COsta was a lot better than Benzema. By the way, no one likes that much Benzema in Madrid, and also in France. 2 years ago the fans would pick Higuain instead of Benzema, and Higuain had also a lot of problems in Madrid specially in big games.

That's not true, Mourinho in the "title game" against Bacelona (7 points ahead with 4 games to play) was not wearing a suit in the camp Nou. In the day Mourinho won the title he was not wearing a suit. He wasn't wearing a suit also in the semi final against Bayern Munich in that same season, and again not wearing a suit in the victory of Madrid against Barcelona in the super cup in camp Nou and in the Bernabeu in the next season. In Inter I can't confirm because I don't remember that kind of thing. I know in Real Madrid because some papers said he wanted another brand, the same way they say he changed the man that was cooking for Madrid, or he didn't let journalist or fans to fly in Madrid's plane (something that before was usual before Mourinho arrives in Madrid).In Madrid they like a lot this kind of stuff, specially the papers. "Title game": The day Mourinho wins the title in San Mames: 1st leg of the semi final in Munich: 2nd leg of the semi final: 1st leg of the super cup (second game of the season): And many more. And that was by far the best moment of Mourinho in Madrid, with something like 95% of aproval from the the fans, winning against Barcelona for the first time in 4 years, Mourinho was god in Madrid something no other manager could do. The connection between Mourinho and the fans of Madrid no other coach had at least in the modern times (maybe Miguel Muñoz 60 years ago).

I don't know what is happening about the way Mourinho dresses in Chelsea. But in Madrid it was reported Mourinho didn't like the suits and he didn't use them many times (some papers say Mourinho had to pay fines to Madrid for not using the suits). After that Madrid changed the spanish brand they had for Giudici

Costa is spanish champion, 27 goals in La Liga, lost the final of the Champions League and made 8 goals in the competition. Costa is in another world when compaired with Lukaku.

Mourinho wanted to coach Portugal 4 years ago in 2 games but Florentino Perez didn't let him (it was something for 1 or 2 weeks but I think Mourinho would also want to go with the team for the major event after that 2 games, and that was the fist controversy of Mourinho in Madrid). Of course right now Mourinho wouldn't coach only Portugal. Mourinho said already he will coach Portugal in the end of his carrer, and he didn't coach ENgland already because he doesn't like that much the idea of coaching a NT that is not his NT. But Mourinho is so attached to England that one day it can happen, we can have Mourinho as England national coach in the future.

Don't worry he will do it well here.
