Real Madrid (old thread)

Start "almost" every game he will , play for 90 minutes he won't ...
even last night's game he ran out of gas around minute 70.. still the guy scored and his style doesn't require running , he already has 3 runners behind him all we need is someone in the box not like benzema who run away from the box.. Ruud is that man .
ideally he fits into a 4-2-3-1 formation and will improve our chances/game a lot more than Benzema

Well he won't be going now, so who is next on the list? Ian Rush?

 

[Beast]

No King Kenny

Let's wait and see , it's the same thing happen every time i think we all agree it's a more negotiation tactic than anything and i understand they can't function without him .
Klose already said he would love to join but Ruud fits us more in almost everything including he is not cup tied like Klose and above all we can't afford another period of adaptation which is zero for Ruud

Started watching Barca after the treble winning season?

RVN is one of the best strikers in the penalty box. Give him a ball and he will deliver. With Real's current system he will crush the lesser sides even harder..

Wait what? Where did you get that conclusion from? RVN going back to Madrid is not going to make one once of difference, we are FAR better then what we were back then and the league is better aswell. People stop living in the past and move on, your worrying about nothing.

van Nistelrooy isn't even a starter for Hamburg, is he? He's only playing right now because they're missing three of their strikers.

I think so yeah, so this rubbish that people are talking about him supposedly helping Madrid beat Barca is BS.

Hey, nobody is glorifying Ruud like he was the greatest blessing for RM's attack. The only thing that is 100% sure is that he would bring the quality of finishing back to Real Madrid. He isn't as fast, he doesn't have enough stamina to sustain the whole game and he doesn't play a major part anymore.

Barcelona and Cules probably shouldn't be afraid of him on his own, but they can't underestimate him like they can do with Benzema. French meathead deserves every ounce of criticism, but it is stupid to do the same with Ruud and say something like 'Who cares? We still have the best team in the world and one transfer of the guy who is past it will not make any difference'. He doesn't have to prove it to you that he has the abilities to net them in, because he already did for last 10-12 years. Show some respect.

Ruud scored in 3 out of the 4 classico's he played

 

[Raed]

YOU JINXED IT! I have been saving that for so long! Good going Beast, now you shall shoulder the blame when he doesn't.

 

[Beast]

He will , he loves Victor Valdez and Puyol...
the man is a big game winner , let's hope we finalize it first

While discussing with some madridistas friends of mine a while ago, a friend mentioned that to win La Liga, a team must win almost all the away matches, something that Mourinho didn't show that he's capable of in the teams that he coached.

 

[Daemul]

Agreed ^ Mourinhos teams dont really win that many away matches.

 

[Beast]

You mean winning 6 drawing 3 and losing 1 while winning all 9 @ home is bad ?
you do realize the United away record this year is won 2 , draw 8? Milan away record are just like us ?

 

[Antimilan]

It's not bad... but to challenge Barca, those statistics are not good enough. Can't afford ties against sides like Almeria... if you want to be crowned champions of course.

You have to consider the current Barca is out of this world , they are a historic team .
One will be judged along side the Ajax , the Brazil 70, Real 50's and Milan 80's ..
We are trying to break them but it will take time and consistency , you cannot beat a team formed from couple of years ago with a team formed 6 month ago.
Add to that the main striker is out for year and it had it's effect on Real (check our goals before and after Higuain ) , we play with a striker who scored in the league the last time vs Espanyol in week 4 !!
All considered we are doing a great job and with more time to gel and consistency we will eventually reach that level but it's not easy and no one said it is , the important part is if we are moving in the right direction or not ? and IMO we are .. the team is strong and they try to overcome adversaries i personally think we are top 3 side in Europe atm which is quite good considering where we were before .
