Spain's domination of European footy

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

2 EC winners in the past 4 years plus a losing semi. 2 world-record tfr fees in the space of a week, buying the most recent 2 World players of the year...where will it stop?

 

What will platini have to say? I'm sure he's working an angle to put the skids under them?

platini will say 'spanish clubs are not in debt like english clubs are' i expect.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Yes - as Real Madrid are gifted their cash - they don't have to repay it, or if they do, they repay at a euro cent in the euro

[Sion]

Aren't Barca seriously in debt? They've been talking about not having much to spend this summer as they're paying some of it off.

Platini criticised the two big transfers. Just didn't get much press.

[Case]

The country itself are reigning European Champions and on a 5,000 match non-losing streak. Or summat.

Many of them are in a worse state than our clubs - Valencia being an obvious example.

true i did see that. i honestly don't really give a f*** what platini says these days, he's in a political role where his remit is to feather his own nest, not particularly improve the game. imagine the clubs see him that way too, just a minor irritation.

I think he's broadly irrelevant because the clubs are stronger than he is. He can only nibble away and a lot of his nibbling is rubbish.

he's head of an organisation which makes money off the game for doing very little. a glorified record producer really. he's terrified of the clubs breaking away and becoming autonomous.

La Liga will be the top league in Europe - and will soon have the best talent in Europe as their tax laws will allow the top 3 clubs or so to pay their players more

Only for target practice

[Leo No.8]

I love the success Spain are having.

 

I'm hopeful that after Spain's years in the wilderness ending ours will too in terms of the title. The fact that we own the most players in the best international squad in the world must bode well for us.
