The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/27655905David Villa gone to New York City. Lol, Atletico would really f***ed up with all this exodus.They've already replaced him with Correa who is a pretty massive talent from Argentina.

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 They've already replaced him with Correa who is a pretty massive talent from Argentina.Heard that he is not a striker. Atletico do need to find a lead striker to replace Costa and Villa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Heard that he is not a striker. Atletico do need to find a lead striker to replace Costa and Villa.He's a second striker, just like Villa - i.e. plays next to the main striker or behind him - so in that sense he replaces Villa. They need another leading striker to replace Costa though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm not often watching Atletico matches though.By the way, Villa move is official now.http://m.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2014/06/02/new-york-city-fc-announce-spain-national-team-forward-david-villa-clubs-firs The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Leo Baptistao or whatever his name is will probably get first spot if Costa leaves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Diego Ribas? He's like 30... He was also on loan from Wolfsburg....maybe I'm thinking of someone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 ...maybe I'm thinking of someone else I think you're thinking of Oliver Torres, he was out in loan to Villarreal this past season. Not ready to be starting yet I'm guessing, didn't make that many appearances out on loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucio 5,418 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 they can bring in o.torres, baptistao , guilavogui , ruben perez , saul niguez , asenjo ,all back from loan. plus they will have some cash to spend. will probably be ok, although , i doubt they will have a chance at winning the title again. probably still in and around top 4.

Was tipped to be Spains future #1 once upon a time. He came back from an injury to find De Gea usurp him.. Then when he left Courtois became outstanding too!! Where's he gone now?

didierforever 7,349 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I think getting rid of KDB could prove a massive mistake . how? he was bought for 5-6mil and sold for more than thrice that price. add to that the fact that we already replaced kdb with salah and yet were in a profit of 2-3 mil. financially it cant be a mistakein terms of the player. kdb was not going to be a CAM for jose. he was behind oscar, willian and mata in that aspect. he was our 3rd choice LM (behind schurrle and hazard) and 3rd choice RW (behind willian and mata). even if u look at the stats. kdb got 5 starts (hull, united, swindon, arsenal, sunderland) and was poor to average in terms of play and had just 1 assist.salah started 6 matches (stoke, swansea, sunderland,pool, norwich and cardiff), he had 2 goals and 2 assists despite his finishing being hopelessly poor. he could have had a hattrick against swansea and cardiff. salah in his short while here has shown that he is willing to fight for his place. he is willing to grind it out. kdb in his performances was poor. never looked like fighting. he may turn out to be one of the best players or a ballon d'or, but at chelsea he would have had been successful. selling kdb was right for the club and the player.
