Real Madrid (old thread)

[Corb]

One faux pas and Madrid will blow up.

 

[Beast]

We don't usually drop points in big games as we take them seriously
Its those small teams I'm worried about
The mallorca , Sociedad , Almeria etc

is this madrid team an important on last season team at the same point in the season.

English please?

 

[AnfieldEd]

I think he meant improvement not important

 

[Beast]

Its hard to tell now surely there an improvement in the CL and Copa not in the classico
On the other hand Manuel had a fit Higuain and CR and the former scored more than CR
People underestimate the importance of no Higuain who scored more than CR for starters
I guess tactically there is , scoring wise no best way to judge is end of the season

Where madrid are going to lose the season

and if they make it that far, the champions league quarterfinal 2nd legs are on april 12/13, with the semifinal first legs on april 26/27

visca barca!

You're forgeting a potential Copa final vs......Barcelona.

I cant believe Madrid are so desperate for RVN

 

[Beast]

Just because you have no clue about Ruud doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't appreciate that the man still has it
Anyhow the british press put Pavlyuchenko as an alternative but i doubt as usual they miss that small detail of being cup tied (idiots )

This will be judgement day(or rather days) in all probability for Madrid, Barca and any other major team...

Wonder why Falcao is not in the consideration... moreso considering he plays in Mou's homeland and is a proven one!!

 

[Beast]

I think due to Jose relation with the current Porto Manager (Jose understudy ) and the fact that Porto ask for gold for their players..
we are not paying a lot Estel , money for the transfers is over.. either loan or almost free transfer is what we are looking for
Falcao is a lot like Higuain .. he is not a number 9 , he is not what we are looking for

I think Mou wants a typical 9, a tall striker who can hold the ball and plays near the box and stays there

The argument that you have presented in the transfer rumors thread... It makes only sense to actually play a mega-buck, for the kind of striker you will anyway end up buying in the summer if not now, this January itself!!
And I was quite sure there could never be a lack of money with Perez at helm. I thought the only reason to not sanction a move in January is because they are intent to capture llorente in the summer

Falcao is definitely not one of the tallest but I think he does hold the ball well... Also he's got nice aerial ability!! So he might actually not be exactly like Higuain. Just my view though
