Looking good I have to say. Over the last few seasons I have really taken a liking to Atletico and wish them luck. (more luck than Real who I despise with all my heart)

How is it overkill, Nolan? Simao will play on the left wing, Reyes will play on the right wing, and Luis Garcia will most likely be used as a super-sub since he’s still slightly injury-prone.

First of all I’m glad to see an Atleti blog, The Offside is finally getting some La Liga presence.

As far as the signings go if you can get a defender you will be looking pretty good. Getting Luis Garcia, Simao, AND Reyes is kind of an overkill but I guess all this quality can’t hurt. I think Forlan was especially a wise move, he’s better than Torres at the one thing you especially need – getting goals. I think he will compliment Aguero very nicely.

Javi is Luis Garcia’s cousin and we’ve been after him for a while.

As for being more exciting than Liverpool, maybe, we’ve got a lot more firepower this year, but we can actually play defense as well.

The funny thing about this transfer season is that despite selling Torres to Liverpool, Atletico has ended up looking more exciting than Rafa’s team.
