La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2016/17

^  It won't.  He's just gonna be a problem at the club.  Like the last time he was at Barca and just like he is right now at PSG.  What a liability.

Get Griezmann instead.  IMHO.

Definitely agree with this. Neymar is a fantastic player but his attitude stinks. He’s a really, really shit person. He doesn’t have the right mental state to be a world class player, he’d be so much better if he did.

Griezmann is a top player, Barca could do a lot worse.

I don't think clubs pay players for their personalities. As long as they score goals nobody will care. There are thousands of examples. They even see it as an advantage sometimes. In this case they think "ok this guy is an asshole but he is our asshole."

No one wants that. Suarez was an asshole but guess what, Barcelona transformed him.
After he signed to Barca he stopped biting and getting punished for inappropriate behavior. If a player doesn't behave properly he harms his club as well.

On the other hand one might think and say; Suarez was an asshole but Barcelona still transferred him even though they knew he was an asshole. Did they also transformed him? Yes. But It wasn't a sure thing, it was a bit of gamble.

Suarez, an asshole but a good player, in the end made his way to a big club like Barcelona no matter how shitty his personality was.

Still the different between Neymar and Suarez is that Suarez wasn't so arrogant but "stupid". He was a bad guy because he was dumb to realize that this was something bad for his career.
On the other hand, the media was writing that Neymar is the best player in the world when Messi and Ronaldo retires and he believed that so much that he stopped trying to be the best. He is just an arrogant guy, and once he became like that when he was young, he will never change.

I also think that Griezmann is a top player and I think he will fit well into a club like Barcelona.At Atletico he used to get a lot of attention from his friends to give him by giving him a lot of good balls,it will a bit dofferent at Barcelona because they play the tika taka with a lot of passing to each other but I think Griezmann will learn how to be compatible with this way of play and why not Barcelona to win the Champions League this year.

I think so, even selfish players like Suarez can adjust the strategy of Barcelona, Griezmann will be a much-needed player in Barcelona
next season, The Barcelona trio will return to life and it will make Barcelona return to conquer Europe

Not happening with their current manager.  I think Real has a better chance to do it with Zidane being given full control over management and direction of the club.

The memories feel like it was just yesterday. How time flies past so fast.

How do you respond about Zidane who confirms that Gareth Bale will not be in Real Madrid for the upcoming season? I still don't know which club Gareth Bale is next season, it's interesting to know.

I’m not surprised as everyone knows that Zidane doesn’t like Bale, and has been trying to sell him since last year and Perez refusal to sell him was a key reason why he resigned. There’s no clarity yet about Bales next club as it could be Tottenham, Manchester United, PSG or even a Chinese club if no one agrees to pay for him. A new rumour doing rounds is a direct swap with PSG where Madrid will get Neymar, and PSG will get Bale and additional cash which is a win win deal for all the parties involved.

hmm, this is very interesting if real Madrid sells Gareth Bale to PSG, maybe the chance to get Neymar can happen, but as we know Barcelona won't let that happen. I strongly agree if Bale becomes a PSG player and I hope he rejects the Chinese club's offer because as a star player he must remain in the top European league.

I think that Bale should go to Psg together with Neymar and Cavani these would be a dream attack for any team to have and maybe this time Psg will be a true contestant for the Champions.Bale at Real Madrid isn't doing great at the moment and not much space has been given to him so the best he can do is to go away.

Bale is supremely talented bit he has a few things that aren’t good for potential suitors -

Age
Injury record
Wages

Clubs would be willing to gamble on his injury records and to also overlook his age because at least he can still offer 2 or more seasons at his current level, but the major turn off for clubs will be his cumbersome wages, and he's definitely not go to settle for anything way less than his current wages at Real Madrid, So he probably would rather sit out the remainder of his playing days at Madrid under such paycheck.

I read some stuff from Zidane being quite disrespectful about Bale. He’s scored in about 3 CL Finals for Real. At any other club he’d get the keys to the city. I think they should show him more respect & love but I guess all good things cone to an end.

I wanted to see him in the Serie A and especially I think that he would be a great addition to Inter.
But, as news come he is going to join the Chinese League. It is a good opportunity for him to gather some money before he retire.

from TOKYO, two Japanese players, Takefusa Kubo and Hiroki Abe, were recruited by two Spanish giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona. The two young Samurai players were considered to be of great potential.

Rival is truly extraordinary, this proves again that Japanese players can play at the European level. Real Madrid and Barcelona both have players from Japan and these two players are indeed talented. I was curious how later in El Clasico, would the two players from Japan be played together.

I understand your view, and maybe you're right about Real Madrid and Zidane not managing the situation in the best way possible. It is clearly for Zidane to have come out which such a statement in a public interview, It would have been more respectful if the conversation had only ensued between both parties.

Bale on the other hand should understand that these things happens in football, there's nothing like being indispensable in football, every player has their prime, and their relevance to any club is paramount only at such level.

yup, he is very talented, but with his frequent injuries this makes the club lose a little to buy him because injury means that he will contribute less to the club.

This will be good for the development of Asian football because those 2 players prove that Asian talent is also able to compete with European players, I hope they become new star players in the football industry.

Bale = Injury
Maybe it is true that if we think of bale, certainly what we have in mind is injury. I have to admit that Bale is a very talented player, but if he is susceptible to injury, surely people who want to buy it will think. If the club really wants to buy a bale, of course they must see this fact.

yes I agree, how it used to be through its predecessor, there are several names like NAKATA, PARK JI SUNG who play in Italian and English leagues who have successfully played in Europe. I hope this time can also bring Asian good names

He used to be injured many times.
I think that now he is in a great form (the only negative point is that he is older that in the start of his career) and he can help any team he joins a lot.
It was very sad not to seeing him developing and growing his talents in Real Madrid. I hope that he will join another team in this transfer window and show that he is a valuable player than he used to be.

I think that every club should come to terms with a large fee for a player, if he is worth it.  If a team shows good results, then they will always be able to return good money later.  And in this case, age is equivalent to the professionalism of the player.
