Yes. We've been linked with every right midfielder/winger in Spain in the last 12 months (we're pretty desperate for one). Personally I have an unfounded notion we'll sign Xabi Prieto from Real Sociedad.

Well you decided for some reason to bring back Fowler, so I suppose that could definitely happen.

They'll be crying in the streets of Madrid tonight if they lose, but rejoicing in the streets of Barcelona.

All of Spain will be crying and going into a deep state of "Why us?? Why us??" if they lose

Aragones is a terrible coach..he seems to be hurting Spain more than helping..

Average Spanish fan might look something like this at the moment:

No, not in Barcelona and Catalonia they won't. Or parts of the Basque country.

That was my point.

redmarkYankees · 06-19-2006, 04:23 PM

They've got 3 very talented, very creative, very similar midfielders on at the moment - Xavi, Xabi and Fabregas - but no-one (a la Steven Gerrard) to grab the game and inject some tempo. They lack a little drive, as Spanish teams often have...

Barcelona players and Barcelona system are being used...surly a vast majority there are supporting the team.

I think it might have something to do with the siestas they have. I mean which other country sleeps during the day?

I know, just reinforcing it. I suppose it gets overstated a little - I'm sure some will be upset, as they don't have a Catalonia to cheer on anyway - but they'll certainly be blaming all the Madrid/'Castillian' players.
