That would be shocking

Benzema right now sucks...but my pessimism makes me think he'll got to Real and magically become incredible :sad:...in any case, from a madridista perspective, it's a waste of money, but at least if Benzema fails you still have Higuain & Negredo to lead the line...which is plenty good enough imo.

15? 10 is the most i'd go for...theyll take it eventually...

i don't see how it's any different from what Madrid were trying to do with Negredo. Anybody know the official rule (if there is one)?

15 M for Albiol! Makes you realize how bad 16M for Caceres was last year?! :thumbdown:...I suppose he could still turn it around though

I don't understand...Higuain & Huntelaar are better than Benzema.... The Valdano quote about Liverpool & Chelsea a few pages back is awesome. His words on Barca players are much less so...

I also agree. With only one defensive mid, and a very attacking RB, there are sometimes not a whole lot of players back defending the counter-attack. Abidal sometimes is almost like a left-sided CB than a LB, and i think this role is very useful in our otherwise very attacking team....Having...

Even though Pep's shown he's good at man-management, it's probably a mistake to purposefully take in a "problem-player" (not saying Robinho is one) with the idea that Pep will "fix" him. To save some people from their egos would require miracles i don't think even Pep could manage...

nah, i prefer short-haired messi...glad to see he's got rid of the beard-stubble though.

I wouldn't complain about either...Mata is more of a goal-scoring threat, Silva is more of a playmaker. Mata would likely be cheaper though...and he's ex-castilla, which always sends a little bit of a F-you to Madrid :p.

ye, it seems we prefer mascherano instead of a more attacking player like cesc or modric who could fill in at CM. i guess that when either xavi or iniesta are rested, we'll go to a 2-pivot midfield. I can't say i like the idea as none of these DMs have any playmaking ability (a la xabi alonso)...

I doubt we sell him before we get another striker ourselves. so sit back and wait :zzz:

I like van persie, but how much would he cost? Wenger's doing his best to prevent an exodus from his underperforming team...not sure he'll let him go that easy. He'd be cheaper than Ribery, but Ribery would be a huge part of our attack, while Van Persie would likely start on the bench. I'd like...

My best friends are juve fans, so maybe i've been brainwashed by their propaganda, but i'll take a bet that Giovinco wil make it. He's played in Serie A and UEFA cup when he was on loan at Empoli. He has pretty good balance, and as long as he gets the ball in space, it's hard to get it off him...

"latin america" is different "south america" though, isnt it?

I'm not being pessimistic, still think we're the better team..but I don't see it as that easy. When players like Kaka, CR7, Higuain are on the field, anything can happen. Lose the ball 3 times all game and could be 3 goals for them.

i prefer adidas kits... *runs away in shame*

no no tackling is an important skill in a DM. If we play play those 3 together, the most sensible way would be as spain does...with a true DM behind them. Of course, i dont think it's likely we'll get Cesc anyway

Kaka, bring it on!!! :chucks: Of course, I hope u guys lose...but I welcome quality players to La Liga.

even Wellbeck's shown more than Macheda
