you did last season , lets see how you fare this season...(CWC is for last season IMO as it's a direct result of your trophies )
you are by far a front runner for the liga but lets see how it pans this weekend , first lets see what you do today vs Seville

Szalai is a pure no 9 player.. tall /good finisher but he needs to develop more on the professional level ..
something playing in 3rd division won't help . his stats are good but i don't think he will ever fit in Real Madrid first team
Mainz could be the best choice
alright, thx. also also a player mainz doesnt have yet. will have an eye on him in my fantasy league.

Why so serious Gio?
Am I ?
He knows that these next three weeks will be the end of the road for Madrid.
Our end of the road was the Osasuna game , but i'd like to see what Benzema can do now that he has no one to bench him
it's important to keep pressure on Barca as well

Let me know how he is doing as i don't see enough of Castilla now that they are in third division

how the hell are a team with such a racist name the third most valuable sports team in the world?

there's something seriously wrong with that picture.

also united's value just underlines the tragedy of the glazer's takeover and how it could fuck the club.

He just got old (and got old pretty badly imo as he is only 32 but can't really sprint like a normal person).

Time for a new life, Raul. You've had it.

well i think partly because he was a first team for a very long time .. how many players in the world can say they've been there since 1994 on that level ? (apart from Giggs ) .

for Madridista (some of us and me personally ) it feels like Raul is 42 not 32 .. age effected him badly and i think he is mentally affected this season by sitting on the bench for the first time since the mid 90's .

I think a new pasture could be very useful for him , it was never about pace for Raul so Serie A or even EPL would be ideal for him @ this stage although i feel it could be the MLS

he will always be remembered for the good

while giggs doesn't appear to have deteriorated as much as raul, he's managed very well by united. doesn't play every week, is often given a few games off so he can have an extended run, etc. I don't think real have the desire to manage raul. and really his status at the club means that would be tricky anyway.

Sure thing, he grew old prematurely but so was his career. He didn't start blossoming at his 22-23nd like a lot of players, he did it a lot faster and played waaaaay over the normal minutes you would get as a 17-19 year old. So his career years just came a few years earlier to the normal prospects. At 32, probably every striker gets old, but he got old badly. Though, when you have a career like that, you should let it rest and accept that your time has come. As you said: he is falling and it won't get any better as the months go buy and the multimillion dollar players keep landing at Madrid.

In a way, I do fear the same for Messi for instance, certainly with his growth hormone shizzle in the past.
