Real Madrid (old thread)

[Raed]

Raul is a leader by example not a leader who can motivate players with his words like Hierro , Puyol..etc
the Captain role will be Jose Mourinho , we cannot have Raul at the same time
i totally disagree about Granero but lets see what will happen under Mourinho

Whenever Granero played deep he wasn't functioning properly. He did not do well with defensive duties and part of his charm is his ability to make a late run into the box and have a go at the goal. Anywhere close to DMs he gets overwhelmed, but everytime he played more attacking he was a constant threat.

If Real are not counting on him then him and Cambiasso would make European team's life so difficult.

@Gio
is 'Ruben de la red' ready for next season?

 

[Beast]

Not deep Raed he never played there but ahead of the DM in the 4-3-3 last season
those where his best games like against Deportivo in the Riazor .
he must work on his defensive duties as well ..football nowdays has nothing called a central playmaker without defensive duties even Xavi do his shit .

Jose approved of Pedro Leone transfer and he will be moved shortly to RM

 

[Nándor]

Up to Jose to decide on Pedro , he could stay for an extra year in Getafe and come back next season .

regarding Mosquera i never trusted him maybe in Getafe we can see if he can cut it with Real
i support the Maicon dropping if Inter will keep requesting crazy money the same way they dropped Gerrard
i still feel we will get Maicon but i hope for a correct fee , i like where we are heading this transfer season

AS claim josé decided in favor of perdo león. so in short there will be official announcements i guess.

mosquera is not one of the castilla players i'm very keen on seing in the first team. so i'm pretty much indiffrent about mosquera joining getafe...in the end he also lowered the price for pedro león from 10m € to 7m € cash.

tricky...i don't see inter lowering the 35m € down to a reasonable price. therefore i think the money will be spend on a CB (vidic or david luiz), a LB (ashley cole as per san iker) and ramos will remain the RB.

what direction exactly do you like that the club is heading towards this summer???

 

[Beast]

No big signings , cheaper alternatives
i mean from Navas 35 Mil price to Pedro Leon 8 Mil is nice piece of business

 

[Abaddon]

Thank god no Navas.

 

[El Gato]

That's a good way to deal business and in Madrid it should be about making business good. There is no point in lowering your reputation by wasting whole millions on huge transfers which are not even guaranteed to pay off when needed (see Kaka, Benzema).

I'm only afraid that there won't be many alternatives to players the club wishes to sign. Mourinho probably won't give up on Maicon unless Inter won't go down to 25mln euros and if he will (IMO he should, because we already have a nice defense that can still improve under Jose, Albiol has sufficient abilities for La Liga and didn't do that crap in El Clasico, he simply needs to develop and he won't do if Ramos will be moved to CB). I'd like Jose to look up Coentrao, he is so much over Kolarov IMO, it's a priority for me. Unluckily it doesn't seem to be the same with Mou.

 

[El Rey]

Real need to make a left back a priority position to improve in my opinion. I don't think there is much chance of Real signing Kolarov now but I think Wolfe's suggestion of Coentrao is a good one.

 

[Peerd]

It would be amazing if Ronaldo plays so shit next season that Mourinho benches him xD
I wonder if the arrogant prick will still say he is the best in that case!

 

[Beast]

Actually CR always preformed better with tough managers so i'm expecting improvement

 

[diegomessi]

I really am expecting cristiano to be much more mature this season.. with the kid and everything i think we will see a different person

also I would have bought jesus navas over angel di maria... but of course his world cup performance (angel's) really put me off

pedro Leon.. not a bad buy however a somewhat strange one for Madrid

 

[Beast]

Pedro Strange but not Canales ?

 

[Aryagorn]

Pedro ready but probably not yet Madrid level and more importantly not yet a star... Canales, already a star, one for the future and would most probably be Madrid level!!

 

[Raed]

I have on idea who Pedro Leon is and perhaps that is good so I don't have to judge him. This has been a good summer since I don't have to deal with summer rumors and all that bullshit. All I know is that every day goes by and I am happier because that is one day less for Perez to make a big bang that would destroy me (stand up Benzima).

 

[El Gato]

Canales already a star That kid didn't play a game with his new teammates against a strong club. He played against Barca and got his ass whooped by Marquez (yh, that was Marquez, no kidding, u know that old dude who is starting to get rubbish). Don't overuse 'the star quality'.

Any info on Kaka ? Is he going to undergo surgery of his groin ? Because if he is then I'm more than glad to welcome one of the 3 (VdV, Granero, Canales) into the first team for the first two months.
