It's not like getting Ozil would break Barca's bank. They bought lots of expensive players in the past that didn't fit. They can take a risk with Ozil.

Who do you think is a fit replacement for Iniesta? Pogba? Hopefully, they sign him. So many clubs are eager to snatch him though. I'd rather see him with Juve next season but it's unlikely.

i find pogba to be very over rated, i dont see why people think he is all that.

replacing ineista honestly seems like an impossible task. he is a very unique midfielder, and he has been playing with barca his whole life, his play style is entwined with barca and he understands the team very well, getting a replacment seems extremely hard.

 

the ideal replacement IMO would be thiago, who was in barcelona but Bayern Bought him, because Vilanova was an idiot and didnt let him play enough, so his contract clause went down to just 18 million. if he has played the amount of minutes in his contract his clause would have been much higher. 

 

i think sergio reberto has potential to be a good midfielder for Barca, but im not entirely sure he can replace ineista.

i dont like italian teams, and i dont like Juventus, but in the last game they proved they had the quality to compete. i dont think they will get hammer 3-0.

i have the feeling that Bayern isn't making the same mistake like 2 weeks ago.. going 2 up and then letting Juventus come back.. especially at home Bayern is gonna turn up the turbo.

Delighted to see another 3 points for Leicester. Just hope Tottenham stop winning so Leicester can increase their lead

Tottenham has more difficult fixtures I think.. With Liverpool, ManU, Stoke, Southampton and Chelsea.. Against Leicester's Southampton, West Ham, ManU, Everton and Chelsea.. I hope it's finished 3 games before the end in favor of Leicester.. Actually Arsenal has the easiest fixtures but it's Arsenal..

Leicester win helps a lot but can't dismiss those games in hand. A slip up and Leicester lose ground... this said the slip ups have been happening to everyone else not Leicester (see a few weeks ago mid week games).



Hmm, pie.

On a smaller note and for those that care, what do you think Forest owner expects from his managers? He just got rid of Freedman and they are now at something like 12 managers in 10 years. That's worse than Saints when we went through our bad spell. Meh... honestly I just like to take the mick out of all the Forest fans around me.

like every other championship team... get in the premiership for the money..  that difference is way too huge to be healthy..i think you'll see a lot more managers being sacked with the increase of TV money in the premiership
