No big signings , cheaper alternatives
i mean from Navas 35 Mil price to Pedro Leon 8 Mil is nice piece of business
ah, i see what you mean. however...you know that it's not over till it's over. meaning: there is nothing official yet as to what exactly will happen with pedro león. as much as i'm convinced, that real will sign him for around 7m € + mosquera, i don't see him staying at madrid tbh (i said this before). my guess is, that he will be loaned back to getafe and the club is going for a diffrent right winger to keep - cristiano is almost certain to play on the left.
i also don't trust the "silence" in this summers transfer window. no big signings, cheap alternatives...smells a bit fishy to me. i wouldn't be surprised if that's nothing more than jose trying to keep the activities very quite in order to lower the prices of certain players - baring in mind, that almost every player this summer was rated at 30m € minimum by their respective clubs.
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.
btw, i forgot...welcome
coentrao is too much like marcelo...rumor has it, that if real don't find a LB - better said, if the deal for a. cole fails like the one for kolarov - marcos alonso will join the first team. that would be fine with me.
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.
kaká said the other day, that he does not intend to undergo surgery. remains to be seen wether or not that has changed.
regarding kakás sale...he'll not be sold
unless his injury worsens. mark my words
the home grown players are players registered for 3 seasons by the national FA before they reached the age of 21 so i believe Ramos,Arbeloa,Iker,Xabi,Albiol,Granero are home grown players
u can also add Canales and Pedro Leon to the above names
as far as i read and got explained it to, the rule is about home grown players as in
canteranos. therefore the article named - with regards to the team as it currently is - arbeloa, casillas, adán & granero as the only home grown players for real madrid.
providing this is true and refering to the names you meantioned, that furthermore means:
- r. albiol = valencia
- canales = racing santander
- pedro león = real murcia
- xabi alonso = real sociedad
- sergio ramos = fc sevilla
