Apparently he did gently caress all in training and ate a lot. Surprising.

All the brazillian players have a fat face like they are abusing prednisone or something. It isn't right and it doesn't look aesthetic.

With Suarez suspended, Alexis sold and Tello loaned out what will be Barca's attack in the beginning of the season, Neymar - Messi - Pedro? Who's the backup? Looks weak to me, think we're gonna see the other clubs get a big lead on Barca right at the start of the season, especially if Neymar and Messi break down and need more treatments. Not to mention the defense. Things are looking grim.

Deulofeu and Rafinha too, it's not too bad.

I was a big Diego Lopez advocate last season and always felt he was the better player despite getting trolled daily by Casillas fans, hopefully they've changed their tune after his big blunders in the CL final and in the WC.

I thought Casillas was better but that was because we hadn't seen him play and I was only basing that opinion on previous performances, Mourinho and Ancelotti obviously saw his performances during training and dropped him.

RM won the CL in spite of Casillas really, not thanks to him.

They found some problems with Adriano's heart :stare:

I hope it's just typical Brazilian eating/partying too much and not a side effect of some particular "medication"...

With Aquino, Giovani, and now Jonathan dos Santos at Villarreal (and Espericueta too in a way) sign me up as a plastic for this upcoming season.

I saw Espericueta play last month when then Mexico U21s played my local team. He was head and shoulders above everyone else on the field. That dude is good.

Barca are trying really hard to sign their centerback, Mathieu, a player who's only really known for bombing forward...

I like Mathieu and all but only if he was being signed to replace Adriano.

if you can plan it right, seeing Barca v. Espanyol at El Prat is loving amazing. I like the atmosphere of that stadium much more and the away support in the derby is insane.

The LFP has only released the Segunda fixtures so far.

Barca are probably trying to get them to schedule the first Clasico for after Suarez ban is over and RM are probably doing the opposite.

All major leagues makes a draft which is then showed to the big TV companies who makes changes accordingly. It's also why El Clasico will def feature Suarez.

It's rigged, it's even openly rigged because the LFP admitted to making changes to the fixtures so RM and Barca don't have to play Clasicos right before or after CL games to avoid situations like a few years ago when we had like 6 Clasicos in a row or something ridiculous like that.

I thought it was super-boring. Then again, I think Clasicos get pretty boring outside of the domestic league. Atletico winning La Liga was the best thing that happened in a while.

I'd love to one day go to that game, at either stadium. I'm hoping to have time to tour El Prat next time, last time I sorta dragged people by it just to look at it from the outside but I'd like to see the inside, it looks quite nice on TV. It's a bit off the beaten path from where we plan to stay, though.

For anyone that cares (no one), FourFourTwo had a nice piece on the Valencia takeover by Lim which is still in limbo, apparently. Damned if I can find it, but basically, the club's foundation has approved the deal, now it's down to the bank, but fears are that Lim will pull out over all this delay because he wants to be spending splashy money already. Valencia will never get it's poo poo together but if they ever do, and finish the Nou Mestalla, with the way they find and pump out talent, they could definitely be a real player in La Liga again.
