They're a weird team like, occasionally brilliant, occasionally suped up Pulis ball. Always dying for the shirt though and can't ask for more than that.

Spent shitloads for their level a few years ago and where deep in the shit financially. Simeone has saved them. Now they have wealthy investors and I think they're close to being debt-free. One of the major reasons why Simeone has stayed imo, they've turned the corner financially and can now choose to sell star players, no longer forced.

The College Dropout Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Leicester remind me of them in some ways. Post-January at least. Usually the most motivated team on the pitch. Simple formation, won La Liga playing 4-4-2. Narrow. Excellent defensively. Choke teams to submission, through sheer will and force. Goals from set pieces, top strikers and "magic". Essentially, team over individuals. Organisation. Hard work. Excelling at the basics of the game. Happy to not have the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant to see They have spent about 200 million Euros in the last couple of years. Falcao, Turan, Griezmann, Carrasco, Felipe Luiz, Jackson Martinez to name a few. They just have good turnover.

They where in bed with Mendez with 3rd party ownerships. Until the Simeone era, as in the last couple of years they had tremendous debts. The Aguero - Falcao era was a little shady on many levels.

They've been at it all night and I think I remember Cabaye getting angry with a ballboy at Goodison once No. Is Cabaye not just always like that? His antics have been ridiculous pretty much every time we've played against him. It wasn't just Coleman last night, he had a few spats with McCarthy and Barry as well. Put an awful, shithouse tackle in on Baines. Tried to pick a fight after the final whistle. Won't be a popular opinion here but I can't stand him, one of the biggest cunts in the league.
