Real Madrid (old thread)

Well it looks like you're going to get Arbeloa and Albiol. Any idea when they will know if Ruben can play next season?

Waiting for the US doctors report.. we will never take a risk on De La Red... unless he is 100 % healthy .. they won't allow him to play.. having De La Red fit is saving 25-30 Million on Xabi

 

[antonnn]

Yeah, that's why I asked, if he's fine then you don't need to shell out on Xabi. I think De La Red will end up better than Xabi providing he is healthy.

You guys going to buy a LB? Or will it be Marcelo/Torres(he can play LB as well as RB right?) for next season?

 

[Beast]

marcelo is great

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

De la Red had one good season with a shit team, where he obviously stood out. You guys have built him up to something he isn't, well not proven anyway. Reminds me of the Soldado fiasco.

 

[antonnn]

He actually did well for Madrid when he played last season before his heart problem, unlike Soldado, who's average.

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

How many games did he play though and against whom?

with Getafe, with Spain with Real till he fell down... u'r soooo shitting in your pants Alexis

Why should he be scared of a player who could drop down dead the next time he plays a competitive game?

Sunny is clutching at straws... we are not talking about his health condition but his quality Adam

 

[Cule Angles]

His quality isn't an issue at the moment seeing as he's not even playing football, as for Sunny's post I think he makes some valid arguments, since DLR's near death experience there has been an escalation in people's assessment of his quality which has yet to be proven to the extent that some suggest.

 

[AnfieldEd]

He is good but not near Alonso's class yet. I do hope he fully recovers though as I wish no player that sort of problem.

 

[Beast]

well it is an issue if u read Sunny post CA, there was no escalation from anyone.. all that people said he has the potential to be our own Xabi Alonso.. and his quality has maintained and gave Real a much needed balance through out the games he played earlier this season
since his injury our results took a very dramatic turn with successive defeats that led to Schuster sacking

I'd take DLR over Xabi if he is fit

 

[Snyde]

That's absurd. DLR doesn't have anything on Xabi. Period.

This is what I read and it is insane. Unless you take into account his transfer fees+salary you'd be insane to chose DLR.
