Joaquin signs for Valencia

Joaquin is a new Valencia player. Valencia and Betis have just reach an agreement, in which Joaquin will leave the anadalucian club for 24 million euros (16 million pounds). Although Valencia is a club I dislike, I wish the best for Joaquin, a great player. And I have to admit that Valencia's teamn this year is so strong. I'm glad we'll see Joaquin and Villa finally playing in the Champions League.

However, I wonder where did Valencia get all that money

I think Valencia have now spent almost as much money as Real this year. Is that right? Do you have the figures? I remember them being something like 60+ mil euro for Real and 30+ mil for Valencia before Joaquin, so now they've spent about the same.

Quite impressive. When they sidelined Aimar i was quite sceptical about their chances this year, but they're slowly building a great team again.

Same goes for Atletico, with signings such as Aguerro, Pernia, Mista, Seitaridis and a few others.

La Liga will be very exciting this year.

Brilliant signing for Valencia,i am a big fan of Joaquin

Valencia has definitely made the biggest off season signings in Morienties, Tavano, and Joaquin. They'll definitely challenge for the title this year.

Real Madrid is also looking strong despite Zidane's retirement.

Atletico is looking good also with those signings they made.


Barcelona deserves to be slightly favored, but they'll have to work even harder this season to win their 3rd title.

marios, I am sure Aimar will be missed at valencia.
If valencia can add torres, they will become notorious.

PR316, no need to work harder. we got zambrotta and thuram. our weak link is going to be valdes only.

great signing for valencia, Jaoquin and Vicente on the wings will be great with Villa, tavano and Morientes up front and they could challenge for the league again.

Don't get me wrong, Barcelona definitely are the favorites. But I think the competition is getting stiffer.
