The situation generally seems to have been badly handled. There seems to be more interest from Germany and the institutions in making an example of Greece than there is in finding any sort of solution to the problems in Greece.

Not at all. He was a solid player for that Juve. The standard of this Juve is rather a lot higher, though.

Mellberg Mk II? Think Juve have progressed beyond that level.

Refused a new deal with Villa and is available for free. Haven't seen much by way of rumours as to where he's going.

There's a surprise.

I could understand selling one of that pair, but not both. Problem was that they kept playing Xavi too long instead of moving on to Fabregas or Thiago.

What a marvellous club they are.

huztini.com, surely.

Why do Barca even need to sign these players? I thought there was an endless stream of great players coming from their wonderful youth teams.

:boh: Possibly. I have no idea of what standard of side they are.

They lost their promotion playoff, so are still in the second tier. :D

Yeah, he's a generally useful player Cuadrado.

:boh: We've strengthened since last season. Got a new keeper in (after our keepers cost us in virtually every big game last season) and signed the best left-back in the league. Just thinking about getting past these Macedonian chaps before contemplating the season as a whole, though.

Who?

Don't worry: Aberdeen's season starts tomorrow, so I'll be distracted somewhat.

I don't mind that midfield, but you have to play Dybala as one of the front two to give some creativity and Juve need a backup to Dybala so they aren't entirely reliant on him for creativity.

And they've never been relegated.

Agreed.

You may have to revise that now that Osvaldo is a free agent after having his Southampton contract terminated...

Yeah, don't see him him being a key player for Inter. But I disagree on giant fullbacks. They can be just fine as lokng as they are in the right system and have the right player playing in front of him. Andrew Considine, for instance, with Johnny Hayes in front of him, is wonderful.
