Ulloa is in my team too I'm thinking of transfering him for Cisse after this weekend if he's really got his mojo back, though.

When's the deadline for transfers, tomorrow 11.30? I'm staying put until then

I will keep him, but captain Agüero instead.

Every fucking week man, and every single time I have dropped him and he's got like a hattrick. I'm not falling for it this time

Interesting Copa del Rey draw. Atlético, Madrid and Barcelona on the same side of the draw, with only one of them getting to semi-finals. http://img02.mundodeportivo.com/2014/10/17/Asi-queda-el-cuadro-de-la-Copa_54418001767_54115221154_600_396.jpg

In sadly increasingly non-shocking news, Thiago tears again a ligament in his first day back in training.

Yeah, not surprising though. They rushed too many of the U19s to the U21 squad when the likes of Alcácer, Carvajal, Koke, etc... got drafted in the first team. It's a shame though, I know football at the Olympics is an afterthought, but it's still the Olympics.

Heh, Kenny Dalglish will present Suárez with the Golden Boot this wednesday. They are holding separate ceremonies for him and Ronaldo, which is a bit weird.

The Spanish FA has asked for a 3-month ban to be handed to Zidane for managing Castilla without the proper badges. The Competition Court will rule once Madrid present their allegations.

He'll get through this, I'm sure. Vamos Galgo, ¡puedes con ello!

I'm bored at home, does it show?

And the last batch! Fran Escribá - never played professionally. Francisco Víctor Fernández - never played professionally. Albert Ferrer (+bonus Josep Guardiola) Gaizka Garitano

Javi Gracia Paco Jémez Cosmin Contra Sergio González José Luís Mendilibar

Marcelino García Toral Jagoba Arrasate (best I could find, he never played above Segunda B) Nuno Eduardo Berizzo Joaquín Caparrós

Tempted to do a La Liga one... Simeone Luís Enrique Ancelotti Ernesto Valverde Unai Emery

Regarding Senna, he switched when he was 27 because he had never been given a cap, which was always a mystery to me since he was a fantastic player.

I admittedly was trying to WUM you a bit there, apologies

He's lived here since he was 4, though. He certainly has more ties to Spain than to Brazil FFS. What? His parents are Brazilian. Anyways, was just taking the p*ss as the players choose where they play, but you can't say he has more ties to Spain than Brazil. His whole family is Brazilian. That's the biggest ties you can have to a country imo at least. You're aware of before playing Barcelona he lived and played for Flamengo for 5 years or something. Aye, when he was like 2 some footballing career at that age. I don't look at people's ancestry when assigning "Spanish-ness" anyway. You live here, you want to have the passport and qualify for it? Then you're as Spanish as paella. This is hardly like Costa anyway, lad's spent most of his life and football career in Spain.

I wish. With him we'd finally have a decent nr 9 since Adriano. Luis Fabiano was good as well, but Diego feels like a step above. f***ing Spain. Senna, Thiago, Diego Costa, now Rodrigo as well. or rather, f***ing CBF that seem unable to convince anyone Have a word with yourself, Thiago wasn't even born in Brazil You've got the younger brother though, he wants to play for Brazil

What's that? 30-team league, every team plays against each other just once, and then you have an extra game against your "historic rivals" - if you don't have one you play against the team closest to you. Relegation as they've been doing it (lowest 3-season average points gets relegated). They also add an extra tournament that only past league winners will take part into (18).

Well, that was quite ungood. Don't think VdB has a clue of how to fix this, his late changes were quite nonsensical.

To be honest, even with so many personnel changes, Spain looks stunted.
