Certainly looking better than the longer, curly hairstyle he had before which didn't fit with his receeded hairline.

I usually hate season break, and I'm glad when friendlies start. But this season, with the treble and the elections, I haven't even noticed the break. It's too soon to start a new season. We should receive a "best club 4ever cup" and be rejoycing at least another month.

Very nice preseason schedule, 4 big teams to test ourselves and LA galaxy to get some money$.

[Myesyats]

You haven't even noticed the break? lmao Every day without football sucks donkey balls and I can't wait for the friendlies.

Also lmao, our first three 'official' games

August 14: Athletic-Barça (Super Cup)
August 17: Barça-Athletic (Super Cup)
August 22/23: Athletic-Barça (Liga)

Well there's also a game with Sevilla on 11th Aug (European super cup)

[free_cat]

No, I'm still a treble champion celebrator.

Arda can't stop smiling. He really must be living his dream.

[windkick]

Yea every video/picture I've seen of him in training he is smiling ear to ear lol

Happy for him tbh

[Myesyats]

According to Mundo Deportivo Aleix Vidal and Arda Turan will not be able to play friendlies thanks to the FIFA ban

Samper's preseason training

[Myesyats]

Battle of generations

[windkick]

REALLY hope Samper gets a short at some games this season. Would be ok with the team selling the Brady Bunch kid for this wonderful specimen to take his role.

[Khaled]

Ter Stegen will cut his holidays short. Had permission to rest until 30 July, but will travel with team to United States on Sunday. [sport]

MAtS

[Myesyats]

He really wants that number 1 spot doesn't he? I love the guy

[Myesyats]

Reports say that Lucho told Munir and Sandro that only one of them will stay with the first team. The one that impresses less will go out on loan.

[Myesyats]

lmao this advert

[windkick]

lol, wow kinda full of themselves eh? Funny though

[Myesyats]

off to the US

[Myesyats]

First friendly kick off around the world

[Myesyats]

Luis Enrique: "Don't know if season will be calm. We want to do something historical. To start, we'll try to win another 3 trophies in 2015"

"Copa America players had a very long season and now have the same time off as the others, won't change that because of tour."

"I'd prefer not to go on tour, there are more disadvantages than good things to it, but I understand clubs need it."
