Benzema is so bad. OMG. He did nothing. Literally having 10 men would have not changed a thing for all the errors he made.

Buy Suarez for any price and build and insane team.

Spain now got:

- The ChampionsLeague trophy
- The Euros
- The Europa League
- The World Cup

[TruePride]

Congrats brah. Fuark a front line of Cr7-Suarez-Bale would be killer

Dude you have no idea. Real Madrid have been missing a top class CF who can create his own chances from nothing. Benzema is a great hold up player who can drop back in the number 10 position, but he lacks that magic on the ball that di maria has.

[indeeded]

waiting to sign his contract at Arsenal,

la primera is on the way!!

Arsenal, buying washed up players from big teams since 2004

I LOL when people were praising Wenger for buying Arshavin instead of Modric in 2008 (both went for the same price), LMAO. What a specialist in buying talent.

[4thdimension]

Argentina is looking hhhnnng for the WC. Di Maria, Aguero, Zaba/Demichelis, Higuain....all are in their best moment. We just have to wait and see what Messi and Romero are capable of doing.

They have a relatively easy way until semis too if there are no upsets, and from there anything can happen. My money is on them atm.

whatever man! You don't always win, the fun part is winning after years of failure, you need trolling lessons!

Will be interesting to see how they do this WC now that they haven't got a complete potato managing them.

He's still leaving out their best goal keeper for some unknown reason though.

[indeeded]

LOL @ the guy who deleted his post saying "Good thing Wenger didn't buy Modric, he would've fuked off after two years"

1) Modric was at Spurs longer than Arshavin was at Arsenal
2) Modric was sold for 36mil, Arshavin was sold for 5mil

LOL, Arsenal fans. SMH

Relatively easy? if there are no upsets for any teams in the world cup then they will face france in the last 16. portugal in the quarter finals. spain in the semis

[perrierAX]

but where was benzema

He didn't do much did he.

Benzema is so bad. OMG. He did nothing. Literally having 10 men would have not changed a thing for all the errors he made.

£100 Million or gtfo.

Damn, I hate RM.

I don't think Suarez is the type of striker that would fit RM's style of play anyway. He drops deep, drifts out wide, plays all over really. I think Aguero would be a better fit. Hope they get neither.

you need to update your sarcasm and joke detector and stop whining

All managers have made mistakes about certain players

[anibani]

probably they would face switzerland in the last 16… which would be pretty easy.

Funny thing is Arshavin was bought in January 2009 because we were in trouble, we got Nasri in the summer window. We had Fabregas playing in midfield so I can't see why he would go after Modric at that time. Wenger has missed out on many great players over the years, but Modric was never a realistic option.

[michael_xyz]

Prices for footballers are silly now (and forever more, I guess). £40m for David Luiz, LOL! It's all mad.

Exactly

This is what happens when people just look things up on Wiki and have no idea what they're talking about

[michael_xyz]

Who cares about Modric anyway. He was crap today.

[Margzz]

BEAS7

he's got an ok physique but still not as dreamy as l'architetto



this has probably come up before but if anyone has not read his autobiography I would seriously give it a read. I was hesitant to get it cause its quite short (200 pages) but its by far one of the most entertaining autobiographies I've read, so hope he writes another one after he retires.

brb, he's too small for the premier league

3 years later

brb, Im not surprised he's doing so well in the premier league

LOL Wenger

You just described what benzemas role is completely.. smh.. how wouldn't saurez fit?

[TBProdigy]

Luiz as a DM is absolutely solid and one of the best players at the position but paying 40m for a very limited unnecessary niche player is ridiculous

[Margzz]

I don't know - footballers cost a premium because of how rare their skills are, no one in the world can do what ronaldo or bale can do, so £80 million transfer fees aren't too surprising. £40 million for David Luiz is absolutely retarded though, seriously do not know what PSG are thinking.

[perrierAX]

People are going to be sucking up to Ronaldo as they usually do when he takes his top off, but lets be real guys, the real bad-ass today was Simeone. No fcks given, confronted the ref on the middle of the pitch after he had the nerve of playing one added minute, I mean, who the hell does this ref think he is. And then starting a fight with a RM centre-back while the game was still going-on. Looked like Varane was going to wet himself.

Who says you have to take defeat submissively. Start a fight I'd say, take as many down with you as possible, then tell everyone to go to hell.

they are ruining the football market, as chelsea and city have done before them, european countries are bankrupt and David Luiz costs £50M !!!!!!

[MasterQueef]

Can't wait for the World Cup!!

Because he is contracted to Liverpool.

yeah, because sky sports will still keep stories from 6 years ago

fail troll is fail

[Gentlemans]

You gotta be one of the best to play with the world's best

Ramsey will never play on a big team in his career, bank on it

Arsenal will be a force to be reckoned with next season. He is on a big team.
