Frank Rijkaard

[beef-supreme]

It seems to me that Rijkaard at Galatasaray is trying to sign some of the players that we were linked with before but for some reason or another he missed out on signing - Elano and Lucas Neill for starters, don't know who else will follow. It seems interesting though nonetheless, I'm sure the man has a philosophy and I'm sure it has something to do with weed.

Big Frankie is making something like a dream team of Level B football superstars at Galatasaray

He already has Baros, Kewell, Leo Franco and Elano, and the latest rumours are linking him with Roman Pavlychenko (or however his name is spelling)

I'm still suprised he didn't sign someone of his former Barca players, though. Guys like Oleguer, Santi (legend), Gio, Guddy, Belletti or even Sexy Lopez could make his Dream Team even more fantastic.

Reckon he'd go to Liverpool if they went after him?

 

[desoe]

I don't know. I don't think that the climate in England is good for Frank's botany activities. Not enough sun.

He's doing a good job at Gala and is enjoying it, he needs better CBs though. Also Elano is having problems with his team mates and apparently the sporting director bitched for him not playing much. He even had an argument with Arda Turan telling him why he doesn't pass to Elano , Arda told him you're not the coach Frank is. Also heard that Elano had an argument with Servet Cetin in training.

I think you are really underestimating Galatasaray.
Belletti and Guddy okay, but the rest, they wouldn't even fit in Barca Atletic.

Rijkaard talking about Pep "He's the best. He has shown it, right? It's no surprise, with the progress Barca is making, he is doing a great job, great. In light of the results, Pep has done better and deserves it" and about Xavi "He also deserves everything that is happening. He is one of the best players in the world. He is very talented and I don't think he is where he is from working with me, but for what he is achieving with Guardiola"

you gotta love him.

galarasaray play tommorrow at atletico Madrid.....


kinda words from Frank... my fav manager

 

[Valon]

I think Pathetico will murder them. Aguero/Forlan will eat their slow CBs alive.

 

[diegomessi]

I think Pathetico will murder them. Aguero/Forlan will eat their slow CBs alive.

Err apart from Sabri Galatas defenders are all slow like Marquez.

 

[knicks]

He was my favourite manager,when he was in Barcelona.
Thanks to Rijkaard now Messi is a star, (legend).

Thanks a lot Rijkaard for Messi!

Marquez on Rijkaard:

Under Rijkaard the team stopped wanting to win trophies?

"There was a lack of order. The quality and the desire to win was always there. But little-by-little we lost the discipline required. I think that was the main reason why the team stopped functioning."

Good quote.
