Real Madrid (old thread)

You didn't include Kolarov

My bad so 42 players it is as i took off a 19 year old player

But Ducky will miraculously hide 11 players and get rid of 6 only
that's without taking into consideration
1- Robinho
2- Balotelli

so that's 44 players

edit : actually it's less as they have some kit numbers missing so it's 37 players without Robinho and Super Mario

 

[10Rivaldo]

Are you sure you've counted correctly? Your list only has 31 players...even including Kolarov, Robinho, and Balotelli, there's only 34 players. Also there're some players that don't count as one of the 25 like Weiss who is only 20

The one's in red are under 21.

You are right
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_City_F.C.

36 players without Robinho .. and add Mario that's 38

those are not reserve squad though

The one's in red are under 21.

Yep but those in Red are not in your reserve , no ?
plus the two mentioned (Robinho + Mario ) without mentioning possible other targets

 

[AnfieldEd]

I like the new system, it means you are forced to give youngsters a chance.

Obviously Mr Wenger hates it.

Balotelli is under 21 isn't he? You don't even have to include them in the 25.

If Robinho is included that makes it 25. Etuhu is 22 but is out of contract. If we sign Milner (which is looking unlikely) we would have to sell/loan out another player.

How can a Madrid fan harp on about squad sizes?

I thought he would think the opposite, I think the system suits Arsenal more than anyone else. It affects you the worst though.

Benzema over Higuain no way... Benzema is doing a great job again
He never fails me
http://www.as.com/futbol/articulo/apatia-benzema-preocupa-mourinho/dasftb/20100731dasdaiftb_8/Tes

with "benzema over higuaín no way" you are refering to...

1) benzema will not stay josés no.1 choice cause he will ruin himself and the article surves as proof for benzema ruining himself or
2) you don't believe my saying that josés idea is benzema as no.1 striker?

well, if it's

1) => i agree...obviously, since i already said in my post:

unless benzema keeps worrying jose with his attitude, having his mind elsewhere.

2) => i have to disagree. starting striker according to josés plan/idea is benzema, not higuaín. the article you posted includes that claim as well:
"A priori, parte como el delantero favorito de Mou, pero si no termina de mostrar su mejor nivel perderá ese estatus en favor de Higuaín, que la temporada pasada acabó en estado de gracia."

Ducky in Spain maximum squad size is 25 since forever

Not really. Plus I would love to play some of our youth academy players too. Wenger is on record as saying he does not like it.

 

[Aker]

I know, Ed. I'm saying he should agree with it as they don't have to change a thing.

Your academy players are just the scraps from United's and City's catchment area that we rejected. Same with Bolton and Wigan, that's why they don't even bother.

The press will try to make him as number 1... a lazy player doesn't belong in Jose tactics

take note Benz and Kaka

you never know what might have happened over the summer. maybe they both went to the store and bought themselves a brain to replace the peanut with..

When was the last time Wenger liked a change?

 

[El Guadiana]

Ahahaha...Wenger th senile old fox oh dear!

Kelvin Etuhu is English an homegrown, i think u got him mistaken for the fulham Etuhu.
Regardless of it all, City squad is big! and I am loving it cos they can hopefully beat United home and away next season, lets face it that should be there maximum ambitions...

Kinder like Espanyol suddenly having a sheikh owner... they shld only aim to humilitate Barca and pack it up.

 

[gvt2000]

For someone living in Spain you should know more than to take an "article " as the actual facts .

Actually both Marca & AS talked a lot about the monetary part of Guti and Raul termination i can't remember Guti details but i do remember Raul details as i posted it several weeks ago .. and for the record Raul 8 Million Euro was a give away from the club and he didn't ask for those 12 .. use your head how can he ask for 12 when his salary is 7 Million ? it doesn't make any sense
it's a made up story

Do you mind posting the source saying the money raul got was a gift and not a demand?

Rodrigo to Benfica for 6 million, Madrid has a 12 million euro buyback clause effective for 1 year.
