So are Atletico sustainable? Enough money to keep their top players or buy good replacements?
I see some of ourselves and Dortmund in them. Big clubs with decent history who have been inconsistent but are doing sort of well now, but who are still dwarfed by one, two or three other clubs in our leagues.
By the way, so Spain now have a proper striker I see...frightening. Will be interesting to see them vs. Germany or Brazil or a fearless upstart like Belgium if they meet at some point.

I can't see them keeping up in the long run mate, tv money in spain is split differently to here, 90% goes to real and barca and 10% to the other 18, they basically need to make semis of the cl every year and then some.superseiyan said:aguero93:20 said:They play barca on the last day, could be the clincher.greasedupdeafguy said:9 wins away now for Atletico to win the title.

Atletico have won the league 9 times, they aren't like Man city, because are the 3rd most successful Spanish club- in actual fact a closer analogy is that they are a poorly run Arsenal. A better comparison would be with Valencia CF, though their peak period was around the time of the millennium and ours is now.

Atletico are a huge club. Espanyol would be a more closer comparison with us tbh.superseiyan said:aguero93:20 said:They play barca on the last day, could be the clincher.greasedupdeafguy said:9 wins away now for Atletico to win the title.

Looks like it is going to follow the Prem and be a 3 horse race to the finish. They all have Champions League fixtures to concern themselves over... Atletico and Barca will get a good feel for each other ahead of the last game of the season. I think Real will win it, just think Barca are a bit soft centered and will struggle to compete to the end particularly considering how important they view the Champions League, Atletico wont have enough, an injury or two to key players and they are a different prospect. But they are fearless like Liverpool with no real pressure to win it like the others. As hard to call as things here!
