I've been a regular watcher of La Liga since the 90s and this is about as weak as I can remember the league. The fact that solid but unremarkable teams like Betis and La Real are top 4 contenders says it all.
Its not a league without quality whatsoever - I keep watching it after all - but often in La Liga there are a couple of really exciting teams beyond just Barca and Madrid, who are trying to reach into the CL spots, with players that you can just tell are going places (think Valencia 2010). But I don't see that at the moment. The fact that teams in a relegation battle in the Prem can spend more on transfers than 17 or 18 La Liga teams is having an effect.
for fecks sake.Awwwwww here goes....all aboard.
Make it stop! I want to get off! 
Sign him on day 1 of transfer window or bust.
Sign me up, I'm ready for round 2
Do you really need to ask? Unzip and join the fun!
With all due respect, you are mixing several different aspects.
- In your previous post you said that the Spanish league lacks quality. The Spanish League has quality and players with a lot of skill.
Another different issue is that you compare it with past golden ages.
And we're not talking about an English team being able to spend much more money.
At Real Sociedad there are very good players like Zubimendi, Oyarzabal or Mikel Merino, to give an example.
2 illustrates 1, and 3 is an explanation of why. If you disagree, no worries, I just say what I see.
Another summer of him saying no and waste all that time while Jude signs elsewhere and then we are left with Fellaini on loan. Typical united summer
That’s the spirit.
Pretty hilarous saying this while we managed to have probably the best window since Fergie left last summer
This is true. I don’t watch as much as La Liga as I used to but when I do there is a clear difference in quality.
It’s not surprising considering the 20 teams in the premier league are apparently in the top 25 richest teams in Europe. All the money and interest is in the premier league.
Worst transfer saga probably ever
No thanks
No thanks
Nah, Sancho had 2 separate threads. We went again the summer after he didn’t sign and eventually the cafe made it happen.
Everybody has a price, especially at Barcelona.I hope we don’t pay a penny more than we agreed last year.
We aren’t typical anymore. We are Erik and Johnny M’s elite Manchester red glory machine and we will not be denied!!
Still don't understand why so many want someone so bad who clearly has 0 interest in playing for the club. Baffling and embarrassing at the same time considering the stature of the club. Di Maria all over again.
So you’re saying you have vibes…?
He should actually cost less. He's another year older and has one year less on his contract.
I hope we don’t pay a penny more than we agreed last year.
How is the economic situation different?
Holy shit, that means Sancho dominated the caf in two consecutive threads?
You'd think we were Spurs or some other nothing tin pot club going by the embarrassing comments in here. "oh please Frenkie join us look how much better we are now". Sickening. We should be looking at players who find playing at Manchester United a privilege, we are one of the biggest clubs in the world ffs, we need to start acting like it in the market. You think Madrid/Barca/Bayern go out and beg players who have no interest in playing for them?
Yes I’m pretty sure he did.
Exactly and Barca are another year desperate.
It doesn’t change the fact La Liga has considerably less quality to what it used to. Outside of Madrid and some of the Barca players, there isn’t much to see.
True! No excuse why this can't be done nice and early in the window.Exactly and Barca are another year desperate.
We go again
A casemiro/bruno/de jong midfield should be more than enough to see us compete for both the league and the cl.
Hope we get it done this time around.
Hope we get it done this time around.
Not a patch on the infamous Wesley Sneijder and Arturo Vidal.
The cycle starts again. I am ready.
Yesh. Schertainly
Ya know it, after all the Dutch do love a cycle!
He’s got the Midas touch, but he touched it too much…..
Way worse than both
This ran all summer and was obvious the player had no intention of leaving from day 1 yet in day 100+ we were still in for him
I gave zero fecks about Vidal but yeah the Sneijder summer was shit as well and so was Thiago before he joined Bayern
Teas has said Barca won’t be allowed to buy in the summer and have to sell
