That would shake up things for Madrid...

We have 14 players. Jeffren, Afellay and Bojan are either good enogh or they are not. No team can play the same three forwards week in and week out for the full year and expect them to perform. Pep either has to play them more or let them go... Afellay in particular is the #11 of the Dutch team.. and het gets los minutos de la basura.. nobody is going to prove his worth in 10 minutes. Madrid bench is a big advantage here Thu, 21 Apr 2011 22:54:39 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2011/opinion-pieces/two-out-of-three-aint-bad/#IDComment144937703 http://www.totalbarca.com/2011/news/recovery-session-at-the-ciutat-esportiva/#IDComment140779984 your ideas suck! stop posting them.

Chiellini is not even the same type of player as Puyol, Robben will never be at Barca and Pedro would never be a sub for Robben. Hes earned his spot on the first eleven.. wtf is wrong with you lol Thu, 7 Apr 2011 17:14:58 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2011/matches/man-of-the-match-poll-result-video-andres-iniesta-vs-shakhtar/#IDComment140779736 http://www.totalbarca.com/2011/news/strike-decision-put-off-for-24-hours/#IDComment138543294 La Liga is managed like a third world country.

The teams getting relegated get a balloon payment to help them cope with relegation and not go bankrupt. Once again, look at the EPL or the Bundesliga. PS: Our Segunda Division is sad too.. Wed, 30 Mar 2011 05:50:48 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2011/news/strike-decision-put-off-for-24-hours/#IDComment138542945 http://www.totalbarca.com/2011/news/strike-decision-put-off-for-24-hours/#IDComment138542331 I am sorry but you do not really understand how big the problem is, I have been a Barca fan for 20 years and I have seen it get worse and worse. We spent $40M on Ibra and then another $40M on Villa... Malloraca is going into administration for less than $60M. This team finished in the top 10.. and its not like they have spent money on players.. they even sold their captain and most of their more markeatable players. Mallorca finished on the top side of the league and they almost went into administration, they could not even go to the Europa League and even if they did their squad wasnt deep enough to compete. In England and Germany, the last team on the table makes more money from TV revenue than our 8th placed team makes. You talk about these teams needing to improve their canteras.. but their canteras are damn good, Sevilla, Villareal, Atletico, Valencia, Mallorca, Getafe... where do you think they get most of their players? Their canteras are so good that they go further in Europe than teams like Manchester City and Liverpool that have a lot more income. I do not want the spanish league to become another scottish league and slowly but surely thats where we are heading. The EPL and the Bundesliga are growing and growing because they are better managed leagues... Think La Liga cant fall? Look at Serie A. The "agreement" is ridiculous, Barca/Madrid get almost 40% of TV revenue without needing to do anything...

As a club we should want a better league, the rest of the clubs need to be able to compete from a financial perspective. Almost half the clubs in La Liga could not pay Messi's salary if they used all their TV revenue.. look to England/Germany, there is a reason those leagues are growing...

Alves is great but there are many right backs who would fit in perfectly... Alves is turning into the Roberto Carlos of Barcelona, he wants a raise and an extension every 6 months. There is no way he should be getting paid more than Pique, Puyol, Villa or Valdes.

Man City actually has one of the best academies in England... its a good club to develop in. Not as good as Barca, but good.

If you truly are an analyst you would understand that firms like Deloitte must follow IFRS rules when it comes to auditing procedures. The accounting adjustments made by Deloitte are sound and its clear that the previous administration chose to inflate its profits to go out on a "high". I am pro-laporta, I think we will not have a better president (even tough I hope for one) but during the last 12 months Laporta only had his own political agenda on his mind.

Americans have yet to caught into the incredibleness of the world cup (I made up that word). The thing I miss the most about home is how the country stops when a match is going on....

There are 6 EPL team and 1 Championship for 7 British Teams. 7 EPL 5 Bundesliga 4 Serie A 2 French League 2 La Liga Weak... Unless there is some kind of tv-revenue sharing agreement I'm not sure teams like Valencia, Sevilla, Atletico, Villareal and Deportivo will ever be able to compete heas to head with Barca and Madrid (and the other European Pwoerhouses).

Maybe with a midfield of Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc and a DM.

The only reason he would not want to talk about his renovation would be because he will not renovate and does not want this to damage his season. If thats the case I hope we stick with Tito Vilanova.... not mourinho.
