I have no idea how people didn't learn from the summer we sold Ronaldo to Madrid and they let Sneijder and Robben go and we got neither even though we were crying out for a world-class attacker. Rooney in front of Sneijder with Nani and Valencia out wide, or Rooney behind Chicharito with Robben and Nani (or another left-winger as maybe we wouldn't have signed Valencia since Nani can play both sides but Robben only on the right) and we'd have won even more in Fergie's final few years.

People don't want castoffs but Madrid castoffs are often guys like Cambiasso, Ozil, Di Maria and soon it looks like Bale may even join them, along with guys like James and if they sign Mbappe or De Gea we could be talking about Benzema and Navas too.

Great hit but the keeper hasn't done himself any favours there.

Juventus is comfortably the best team of the tournament, its going to be a travesty if they dont win it. But thats tournament football for you...we can only hope!

Do Juve's stadium staff think the Fratelli's are actually Italian?

Everything is written for them. Madrid won't be the first club to retain the CL back to back

And well done to them. It says nothing about going 90 minutes in a final against a totally different type of world class attack.

Like I said, it'll be a close game. But to draw conclusions like Mbappe is shit because he can't score against the best defence in the world, which nullified what is commonly regarded as the best attack in the world, is ridiculous.

Sneijder was great for one season since leaving Real. Valencia is still at the club.

They do ? Most of their cast offs are better than most of our players so I think they are thick

What a player. Lovely technique on the shot.

Madrid will be getting a bit of their own medicine come the final.

Juventus concede 0.2 goals on average this season, don't they? That's superhuman. Their attack ain't half bad either, what a team they've assembled over the last couple of years.

Alves is trolling the entire FC Barcelona management team. I mean, how do you lose a player like that for free? :lol:

It's not either or. They'd have done well together I think with Sneijder as a 10 and Valencia's pace on the wing. And his one great and following decent seasons would have been well worth 20M less in Ronaldo fees.

Letting go of Alves would have been an ok decision if they had a capable replacement in mind and not Aleix Vidal

Martinez school of defending

another poster who didn't read my post? Tell me which part of what I said is wrong.

Probably the part where you said that Monaco are poor against any decent defence, by February they had overtaken Barca as the top goalscorers in Europe this year and as of now they have 98 goals in 35 league games. Also the fact you said Mbappe and co were overhyped without basing or backing it up with anything. We all read your post, it was utter bollocks.
