Real Madrid (old thread)

It's the catalan press who link us to them.. although during this summer.. they had more credible news when it comes to our transfers then Marca & As

Cesc is not needed at all... De Rossi could replace Xabi efficiently .. however Italians in Spain are not always a success

 

[Serkelet]

What a waste of Granero, such a great player with very good future. I hope a big team gets him so he can progress, and doesn't get stuck in a low level club like Getafe.

Real Madrid sucks for so many reasons... Like not giving chances to their youth.

juve will play 4312.

buffon
??, cannavaro, chiellini, GROSSO
marchisio, DJILA, sissoko
DIEGO
amauri, del piero

with the capitals being new signings. and tbh that's quite a formidable lineup as sissoko and marchisio are good from box-to-box (and there are others like camoranesi) and then you have djila to sit and protect italy's first choice central defensive trio of buffon-cannavaro-chiellini. it would be a great signing, tbh.

Good but not great

Diego is great and is their marquee player. Giovinco has a great future and Amauri is good but the rest as I say are good but not great except Buffon of course. Chiellini for me has to do it in europe before I call him great.

 

[Beast]

As talented as Giovinco he won't cut it on the wrong run... he is too light weight

 

[AnfieldEd]

If he is light weight then serie would suit him would it not?

 

[Beast]

no.. i think they will try to bulk him a little.. Messi look like a giant in comparison..
i do believe he will move eventually.. sadly his body would crack under heavy marking /tackling

 

[Metaphysical]

giovinco won't make it at the highest level, even in italy.

he is TINY. I don't mean in height (not important) I mean in build (very important). maradona and messi, for example, are midgets but very powerful and stockily built so they can hold their own when someone tries to muscle them off the ball. giovinco just falls the fuck over. he makes iniesta look like djila. and it's not even like he's a 16 year old or somethin', he's 22!

 

[AnfieldEd]

Well he is still young so can still develop physically. Maybe.

22!

he'll be 23 this year.

you generally don't "develop" that much beyond then.

he can hit the weights but that will impinge on his speed and agility which are his greatest weapons.

 

[antonnn]

He'll be 23 next year, same age as Messi. I agree he is tiny and it might be a bit late for him to bulk up.

 

[Beast]

very late.. he can add a little muscle here & there but he won't ever be strong enough to the level of football required to compete in serie A top dogs

 

[Gnegneri]

meta, who is djila?

 

[Valon]

Dilja is Diarra,the big one.

 

[Hassan TPAH]

they should've given Giovinco drugs like Barca did with Messi...
