2014 La Liga Race

Atletico+Madrid+champions+La+Liga+Spain.

 

Can Atletico repeat or will the Summer exits prove to be too much to overcome?

Last year Atletico completed the dream league season, but it's been a Summer of change at the top of La Liga. Atletico has been poached to an extent, and Barcelona has brought in plenty of new talent like Luis "The Count" Suarez. Defending European Champions Real Madrid also have had another influx of serious talent with the additions of Toni Kroos, Kaylor Navas and James Rodriguez. While it remains to be seen what will happen with Di Maria and Khedira, it looks to be a two horse race again where Barcelona and Real will battle wire to wire for the League crown.

Your thread is a lot fancier than mine.  Boo!!!

 

I do not follow La Liga as much as other leagues but I loved seeing Atletico beat out the other two, if only for a season.  What are the chances they, or anybody else is competitive through at least the first half?

They'll be competitive for sure. Just don't think they have the horses to stay up top for the long-haul.

Come on Real! Let's win La Liga this season.

Bale looks much improved, Ronaldo is healthy and only 6 goals away from breaking Raul's record, Navas is as good as advertised, Kroos is a passing guru, Di Maria is back with the team, Modric remains underrated, Benzema is shaking off the rust, and Isco is looking sharp.

James, on the other hand, has been such a disappointment and Khedira is being a sulky whimp.

 

People thought Bale was a bum last October too. Give James time to get acclimated to the team.

    • Didn't know where to post this but it is panthers relevant since eventually we'll have a couple wr in Coker and tmac that will get paid. Jaxon Smith-njigba just signed a 4 year $168.6 million contract extension that now makes him the highest paid wr in nfl history. For now
    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.
