That's because you're only thinking about Barcelona, yet there are a good number of teams that would also be affected by Catalonian independence. They'd have enough teams to form a league of their own, so whilst everyone is banging on about Barca none of you have considered the others. As for the t...

Keane plays in an unsettled at least, defence. Is Tarkowski better? I still think Mee brought out the best in Keane and is doing likewise with Tarks. Once Everton get that team settled, you'll see Keane flourish. Potentially we may have another gem but he is still learning for me.
