Could'a would'a should'a. If Spurs still had Modric and VDV we'd be flying too.

Fabregas and RVP both world class, Clichy, Nasri and Song 3 great players in their time at arsenal.

Modric was good until he wanted to leave but has been horrible in spain, and VDV was pretty good but of the class of the previously listed players

Atletico are coming 2nd. I said 4th in Spain would belong in the mid table in the PL.

I'd back us any day of the week to take on Malaga or Real Betis or Levante.

Don't worry about Malaga, Arsenal got owned by Schalke who are 7th in the Bundesliga, 17 points off the pace.

And also, if it's such a weak league, why have all the recent major PL signings come from clubs outside the big 2 - i.e. the "crappy" teams?

I'm talking Torres, Mata, Cazorla, Michu and Falcao in the future.

1) :lol: Michu and Falcao major signings?


2) "Torres, Mata, Cazorla". Yes i can see that the signings of Spanish national team players from the above average in La Liga to the above average in the prem clearly shows the La Liga is stronger... wait wut?

Your complex makes you say the strangest things.


And the EPL isn't?
:lol::lol::lol::lol:

I hope so, but i doubt it.

You haven't seen Falcao play have you? He'd cost upward for £35 mil, Michu wasn't a major signing but he's gone from a nothing special La Liga player to looking like a superstar in the EPL, it'd be the equivalent of Bobby Zamora going to a team like Levante and destroying the likes or Barca and Athletico, if that happened you'd be having a laugh and telling us La Liga was a joke
Guys like Mata and Carzola were decent in La Liga but they're both arguably amongst the top 5 best players in the EPL.
In fact if you had to name an EPL top 5, I'd say guys like Aguero, Silva, Yaya Toure, Mata, Carzola, would be there or there abouts.

Of course i have seen him play, but why a POSSIBLE transfer to the prem somehow shows the EPL is a weaker league than La Liga is something he will have to explain.

I also think one or two are slightly over rating the impact Michu has had here. He has scored a few goals but he plays for a lower placed club. He also plays upfront for Swansea who bought him as a midfielder from Spain. Its also only half way through the season so lots could happen yet.

The fact that he played in midfield and still only scored 9 goals less than Falcao in the league actually shows that either scouts are better in the EPL or some of the other clubs wanted to have him to replace there internationals but were out bid by the monster of a club that is Swansea.

Either way its a rather strange argument.


Mata and Carzola decent eh? By decent you mean played for teams who were among the best of the rest and had full international honours.

Shame you think the best players for Valencia and Malaga were only decent. It makes a mockery of any claim about La Liga being the best league. I actually thought these teams were very good until they had to sell players. Guess i overrated La Liga but your the expert...


The top 5 in the prem you mentioned. Carzola maybe, he started well but has faded, the rest no.

Scholes and Giggs once were. They're not now. Evans never was and never will be.

Lol at Evans working himself into the conversation in a Ballon d'Or thread.

I've said a lot of stupid things in my time. But comparing Jonny Evans to Gerard Pique is too much stupid even for me.
