Real Madrid (old thread)

[10Rivaldo]

but what if the proper sub doesn't ever get to play? mourinho didn't play santon in inter, why would he play di maria?

Mourinho was the one that brought up Santon in the first place, he didn't play much last season because he was injured...

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

There are several glaring inaccuracies in this article, which undermine the writer's argument. Firstly Yaya wasn't "sneakily sold", nor was he a "Pep favourite", we all know why Yaya left and it had nothing to do with Rosell. Secondly Rosell didn't dismiss Txiki, the Basque had already announced long before the elections that he wouldn't continue once Laporta left, although Sandro's desire to find a replacement for Txiki was equally well known. The writer also claims that Sandro stalled on Pep's contract negotiations which as anybody who followed the process knows is patently untrue given that the contract negotiations started pretty much straight after the elections and only Pep's insistance of carrying on his habit of limiting his commitment to 12 months at a time caused a minor delay because the board wanted a greater commitment. As ever Tim Stannard's grasp on the truth is tenuous at best, he's entertaining as a writer but lacks the insight to be a proper journalist.

Excellent post and spot on as always. Tim using Marca as his source for some of his article is quite simply incredulous.

Marca at it again today with their made up claims of an offer for Ramos from Chelski. Funny how there is no report of that in any other (credible) paper out there...

and for the 326523626 time both Marcelo and Drenthe (if he stay ) are LB .. just because you want to play him as LM doesn't mean he didn't spend most of his career with Real and Brazil as a LB .. that reminds me of GVT counting Lass as a defender

drenthe is a midfielder, you played him at LB. marcelo is a LB, sure, but he's much much better in midfield.

but by all means keep them at LB, just weakens your team.

stuff like having competition in places , great bench to avoid injuries is not counted when some biased cule's trying to find an excuse for their fairly obvious contradictions

you don't pay 25m for a squad player.

well, you shouldn't do.

but reial are notorious squad stackers, so by all means carry on.

And Pedro played as LW most of the time and scored his best goals as a LW with Messi on the other side.. but of course now he is useless as a LW just to suite your argument

he makes 99% of his assists and plays 99% of his best stuff from RF, he scores goals from everywhere, as this video shows:

now back in your box, sunshine.

I just came to see if your argument was taken apart Beast and it looks like it has. Do you still want to know when 'football reaches Glasgow'?

Indeed ..

drenthe is a midfielder, you played him at LB. marcelo is a LB, sure, but he's much much better in midfield.

but by all means keep them at LB, just weakens your team.

how many games has Drenthe played as a LM ?
3 games .
so based on those 3 games he is a LM ?
Marcelo provide width and energy in the team from the LB position .. he isn't solid defensively but so was Carlos the difference is Carlos had a solid defense when the solid defense was gone so was Carlos reputation and ability as a solid LB or did you forget Iker to Carlos to Eto'o to score in the classico ?

you don't pay 25m for a squad player.

well, you shouldn't do.

but reial are notorious squad stackers, so by all means carry on.

but when you pay 20 Million for a squad defender to sell him a year later is ok

you swing your opinion every 5 minutes.. have a solid opinion and stick to it at least to earn some self respect

he makes 99% of his assists and plays 99% of his best stuff from RF, he scores goals from everywhere, as this video shows:

now back in your box, sunshine.

So when Ibra-Pedro and Messi are playing they line up like
---Pedro---------Ibra------------Messi ? right ?
changing his position is a Barca thing it's been going on since forever and we saw it with Eto'o -Henry .. it doesn't mean he play as a RF/RW nor did it mean Eto'o was a LF
lol @ the 99 % .. maybe you should learn to count sunshine

I just came to see if your argument was taken apart Beast and it looks like it has. Do you still want to know when 'football reaches Glasgow'?

I concluded human intelligence hasn't reached Glasgow as well which is worse than missing out on football

drenthe was a LM before madrid signed him.

as for marcelo, we'll just agree to disagree.

but when you pay 20 Million for a squad defender to sell him a year later is ok

he was a clear project, a player intended to be a first-teamer that sandrusco forced pep to sell.

So when Ibra-Pedro and Messi are playing they line up like

not saying pedro didn't start on the left, or play on the left, I'm saying he played his best stuff from the right, which he did.

now hush up.

no gio. do you watch any football games where pedro, ibra and messi lined up together?

this was the formation and the exact reason why maicon had so much influence in that game.

here again. so shh.

The trio played plenty of games together J...
it's not a surprise you didn't watch it...

typical i may say
the drawing show a tactical move not a line up .. cause you provided width in both games and it wasn't Keita who provided that width but supported whoever switched to the RW

drenthe was a LM before madrid signed him.

as for marcelo, we'll just agree to disagree.

he played both LB/LWB/LM.. he is more a LWB than Lb or LM..

he was a clear project, a player intended to be a first-teamer that sandrusco forced pep to sell.

But the idea that you paid 20 Million for a back up squad player was not an issue when it came to Barca pulling it !?
i expect at least to apply the same set of standards .

not saying pedro didn't start on the left, or play on the left, I'm saying he played his best stuff from the right, which he did.

now hush up.

in terms of stats most of his goals was from the center .. but he is not a central forward , just because most of Messi goals comes from the center last season (me thinks didn't count too much goals ) doesn't mean he is not a LF
back to the main point.. if hypothetically we take your opinion that Pedro is better LF and that's where Messi play and he is always a starter , so will Villa and 70 Mil Ibra.. doesn't it mean Pedro and Bojan are the main victims with less game time ? and if the above is true wouldn't buying Villa be hindering Pedro game time and his progress (unless Ibra is sold )

Hercules game line up

-------------------------Adan------------------
Lass------Arbeloa-----------Carvalho--------Marcelo
----------Gago---------------Khedira-------------
Pedro--------------Ozil-----------------Canales------
---------------------Higuain

i mean zonalmarking is filled with idiots who really dont know the game as much as the gio does. right?

i mean pedro is on the right in the games they showcased with the 2 as you mentioned... how could they put him as a rf when he was a lf.

they really dont know the game as much as you do, gio.

 

[RM2011]

Pedro played the LW. because he could not better there he tried other alternatives. His right foot crosses were terrible.

 

[Hamzah]

You basically get all of your opinions from zonalmarking HOF.

 

[House of Flies]

Pedro played the LW. because he could not better there he tried other alternatives. His right foot crosses were terrible.

he never really played the LF. his position when bojan plays is LCF at most.

Pedro played the LW/LF vs Inter. because he could not better there vs Maicon he tried other alternatives. His right foot crosses were terrible.
