I am still not convinced over this. I feel confident enough to say we'll make no more signings, and are closer to doing exactly that than going for Aguero or Neymar. There would be concrete rumours by now and I just know Atletico will not sell to us without going round it the hard way and...

You're right raed, hence I think the media have got this 4-3-3 story all wrong. If it is so, then I'd say Ozil is the one likely to lose his place instead, which no one considers due to his flying first season and add to that the stats that back up his success, assists, passes ECT. There is a...

I don't know if I said this before but I have been thinking that Di Maria may well be used more as an impact player, perhaps off the bench or as a tactical move. I don't think a new formation of three midfielders favour him. This is of course down to how we line the middle up. I have been...

For sure Beast, he is another Robinho. Although not the worst thing to be, afterall we got the best out of Robinho and I firmly believe that had he stayed in Madrid he'd have continued his development to be a deadly effective forward. I just don't think we'd be bothered will all the tantrums...

Unlikely. Paper talk, we won't stump up the money, the only player that Mourinho will sell is Kaka which Perez will not ($$ shirt sales). He wouldn't lose a no. 9 I.E Higuain/ Benzema, either to replace with a flashy forward like Neymar.

Eugenio was one of the candidates that pulled out. He has struggled for financial backing in the past and could not raise the 25million Euro's to run for presidency.

Nooo, it's all wrong bRaed. wrong.

What about, pah! ? So.. Seen the new Madrid shirts? I think it looks like something the Williams sisters will be wearing at Wimbledon this summer.

And Khedira? I must admit the more i saw of Sami as the season went on the less and less i thought of him. Stiff and awkward, too slow on the ball, a little clumsy at times. Perhaps not a suitable buy afterall.

We're dipping our toes in the water. I very much doubt we'll stick to a structure like this for the long haul, Raed is right, one day Valdano will likely return, or someone similar in the same capacity. So what we see now is the club unleashing the full potential of Mourinho. I just cant wait...

"Mourinho did not make any demands. He asked for more autonomy in line with how English clubs are organised," Perez said. "Everything that we do we do because they are the right decisions that do not take into account personal sentiment," he added. Valdano reportedly opposed the appointment of...

The board voted unanimous, they felt the President had become disconnected from the club, the manager not close enough to the behind scenes decision-making. It was agreed to adopt a more 'premiership' style set-up.

And it has been confirmed in the presser earlier. Perez stated the reasons being down to restructuring the club, removing the sporting director takes the board closer to the manager and vice versa. Valdano spoke to the press briefly explaining the situation before bidding farewell.

You either love or hate the man. All due respect where it is deserved, he has served the club well as a footballer and has remained loyal but he is bigoted and generally just serves his own opinion and not necessarily the best for the club. Official announcement will be delivered by Perez at...

Valdano has actually left the club already. The announcement will be tonight. Initial rumours suggest that there has been a conflict between transfer policies.

Pedro Leon has a major ego issue for a guy who has achieved nowt. This started back in november/October time when he wasn't picked for a liga squad. Then when he was and came on as a late sub and ignored Karankas instructions to hold his position and not get caught out for last 10 minutes. Shame...

Apparantly it is a goal keepers shirt. Well, up into the last match day, Baptista had scored in six consecutive league appearances. Only Aguero has scored seven in a row this season. So yeah I'd say so, he's been on top form and has in turn led Malaga up from 19th to 9th since the arrival...

Liverpool esq.

That is fugly. When have we ever played in red?

Load of paper talk! Ronaldo has told reporters he won't leave. Madrid say they won't sell and city have just announced they have not bid. This is another Guillem Balague 'exclusive'.
