    Can Atletico Madrid really challenge the Big Two in La Liga?

    It’s a pattern that is more often than not set in stone. La Liga’s top two pulling away from the ‘best of the rest’ as Catalan giants Barcelona and capital side Madrid set the pace for the Primera Division. However, it isn’t the Madrid side that would historically spring to mind.

    The problem facing Spanish football

    Some football fans believe La Liga is slowly becoming the biggest and best league in the world. You can't exactly blame them; Spain does posses two of the world’s biggest sides in Real Madrid and Barcelona, arguably the greatest player of my generation in Lionel Messi with Cristiano Ronaldo coming a close second and the national side currently holding onto the World Cup and European Championships with a smug grin on their respective faces.

    Kun Falcao prove there is life after Aguero at the Vicente Calderon?

    Die hard La liga followers will acknowledge that Athletico Madrid have now been lampooned with the label of a ‘feeder club’, despite winning the Europa league, players such as Jurado,, Simao, Aguero and De Gea have all left respectively over past seasons.

    £18Million is a lot of money for any player, its a price that seems to fit the position of a new number 10, or a tricky winger out on the left, its a price tag that comes with a lot of expectation right off the bat, for that much money, a player needs to be a game changer, a breath of fresh air for a team in need of that extra kick. It hopefully brings in an experienced head amongst the team, or someone who knows the game well to slot right into his new surroundings with consummate ease.

    Is Agüero the first of many

    Is Sergio Agüero the latest world star to join the Premier League, or is he in fact looking to be the first successful global signing since Tottenham Hotspur signed German World Cup winner Jürgen Klinsmann in the Premier League’s early years, way back in 1994?
