Disco Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Wonder if Atlético will keep their streak in finding strikers: - Torres - Forlán - Agüero - Falcao - Costa That's quite the list of #9s. I think they're after Angel Correa and he looks like a quality little player. Obviously not just a short-term answer. Plays on the wing nominally when I've seen him, albeit only once or twice.

Village Idiot Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Let's not forget that Atlético have a bigger debt than Barça or Real Madrid. They'd be a corpse by now if not for their success during these last seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Lot of speculation that Rakitic is off to Real Madrid. Makes no sense. They have trouble keeping all their AMs happy as it is. He's been linked to Atlético throughout the season, though. Let's not forget that Atlético have a bigger debt than Barça or Real Madrid. They'd be a corpse by now if not for their success during these last seasons. how on earth are they managing that? By selling their star striker for €40m in a few weeks and probably spending half of that on his replacement, plus using the CL money in the same manner. Their debt repayments are reportedly around €40m a season or so. For many years they have easily been one of the worst run clubs in Spain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's that, certainly, but the owners are massive crooks too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Leverkusen have some cracking players coming through like, can see them like a few Joiman clubs (Schalke, Gladbach, Wolfsburg and Freiburg) being picked off during the summer months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Shame that he came through Bayern's system and he was sold to Leverkusen with a buyback option. Is he actually any good by the way? never seen him play and not really seen his name mentioned outside of Football Manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he actually any good by the way? never seen him play and not really seen his name mentioned outside of Football Manager. His appearances usually come from the bench so it's tricky to judge but from what I've seen he looks naturally talented but very raw as you'd expect. He can be really frustrating and has been guilty of overcomplicating things, but with the right coaching he could be a top player, much potential.
