Brings a wry smile to my face to see La Real in some trouble, if the rojiblancos beat Betis at home next week and La Real get a tonking off Barca then happy days we will go ahead of Los Merengues.
I still think Atleti will finish in the top 4 ahead of Valencia, they may be forced to sell either Silva or Villa in January due to their precarious financial state, any news yet on whether they have been able to sell their current ground yet? as i hear this is a problem they currently have. Even if Atleti finish just outside the big 4 i think unless there is a top quality replacement ready in the wings Aguirre should stay, from the looks of things the back 4 finally starting to look settled and better consistency with team selection have helped the transformation as of late. Only downside though is Ever Banega, what a dissapointment this guy has been, was expecting a lot more from him personally i'd pay to send this guy back to his webcam, not been impressed at all by him, Give Igancio Camacho a go from the bench, he must be better.
As for relegation, i though Recre would struggle this year without Pongolle, Carlos Martins and Caceres. Osasuna are below average in all honesty and it highlights just how good a job Aguirre did at that club before he joined Atleti. Good to see Getafe coming out of a tricky patch recently, a sensible run club is that who always deserve to do ok. Hope the allegations of match fixing are unproven. Real Madrid signing Huntelaar, could be hit or miss, a Nistelrooy or a Kezman, thats the risk you take with a signing from Holland/Portugal who scores goals for fun in those leagues. Real urgently now need another winger and a better left back, get Garay back from Racing at the end of the season as that will solve the CB problem, he will be a very good player in the next few years.
