As title says.

Barca 13 points ahead of Madrid, title over?

Who will sign Falcao?

Will Dortmund win the European Cup?

Is Messi the greatest ever?

Etc.

Yes, no chance Real will come back.

Who will sign Falcao?

Real Madrid in the summer.

Will Dortmund win the European Cup?

They have a chance. Best counter attacking team I have seen since The Invincibles.

Is Messi the greatest ever?

Obviously.

Etc.

Love the thread.

Thanks, I'm glad there's another Messi fan on here. I'm what you'd call a Messi 'fanboy'.

Why Real Madrid though? He's more likely to end up at Barca than at Real imo, can you really see Atletico letting him go there? Nailed on for City or Chelsea I think. The Torres + cash swap deal is so obvious.

He is a Real Madrid fan. He's too good for Chelsea.

Saying that...

Can't believe this. On several news sites now, gutted for him if it's true, he's been doing so well

Maybe, although he is probably the best striker in the world right now and arguably top 3 player. I'd opt for Iniesta though

Rooney, van Persie, Ibrahimovic and Cavani are better in my opinion.

~~Cuthbert~~ · 12-19-2012, 08:50 AM

Why would you think Rooney is better than Falcao? Falcao has been consistently good now for three years, he's world class. Rooney is a level below. Van Persie, dunno, they're 1 and 2 for me, Ibrahimovic is class fair enough, Cavani is class, neither of the latter two are playing as well as Falcao now though, he's clearly the form striker in the world and like I say has been for the past three years. There is nothing he can't do.

I think they are all better footballers. Falcao plays in a team that is entirely set up for him to score goals, the others aren't exactly the same. Aside from Ibrahimovic, they all add more to the team in different ways.

I think any of them would score just as many in this Athletico Madrid team, but also provide more assists.

I do love Falcao though.

Also very sad to hear about Tito.
