that was a very nice interview josé had with AS. a few conclusions can be made i guess as to...

- guti is out, while raul depends on what role the player see himself to be in. starter => out you go. bench player with an important role for the team due to his experience and character => happy to see you stay.
- sergio ramos will have to make peace with the thought of being switched to the CB position permamently. josé claiming he has enough potential to become one of the best CBs says it all.
- josé will not aim to copy previous models like chelsea/porto/inter, but instead he will try to give real madrid its own identity. that being attacking football first, but when necessary, the team will also have to defend...fair enough.
- players like coentrao & di maria are out of the question. the former being like marcelo and di maria not being a resonable signing at a buyclause price of 40m €. on the other hand players like gerrard & lampard gained monumentum.
- kaká will definitly stay.
- i like his words about how he is looking forward to turn a player who had a bad season into a player who will have a great season (very much likely to be kaká) and i also liked josé aiming to make a canterano become a "star" next season who hasn't even been there this season. marcos alonso & pablo sarabia come to my mind. the first would provide something diffrent than marcelo (as wanted by josé) and sarabia would be very usefull in the goal of bringing back the wingplay.

--------------------------

quite interesting things are about to happen. i think, as far as the players are concerned, the most noticable change will be how they train. i remember robben claiming his great form with bayern is due to the training. in spain they would train rather easy, while at bayern they train much harder.
i can see josé changing that dramatically.

@14: No he will bring in people that he trusts, so he will definitely bring in at least two and Madrid will have to balance the books by selling some of the players.

So who does he sell Jose?
And who did he take from Chelsea that he trust ? no one ..
He could sell more in the midfield than the defense , don't forget we already have Metz moving out for free with Ramos back in the CB he has 4 good defenders ,Arbeloa on one of the sides for solid back up and Maicon on the right side
Who's Kolarov?

Yeah the Maicon deal looks very likely. That will definitely improve your team and Sergio Ramos can go back to centre-back.
Lazio LB and yes he is convinced Ramos could be a better CB

Diarra,Gago to start with .. Guti (based on his declaration )
than you have those who might receive a big offer .. United are rumored to be offering 22.5 Mil for VDV , Kaka 40 from Chelsea..etc


not to forget man united is also rumored to offer 20-25m € for lass.

but right now tbh, i don't see NONE of them going due to lack of availability regarding their replacements. madrid won't get de rossi and/or javi martínez. the only linked player gettable is essien. but that came from england, so i doubt the credibility regarding madrid seriously being interested.


Maicon & Kolarov
maybe go for a CB .. a tough one

sergio ramos will be his CB. judging by words, he's got that very clear in his mind.

I feel he will be a starter after he adapt .. but he could also be deployed as a LM .. really hard to tell what will happen

Yeah fair enough. Only reason is I'm thinking of raiding your CSKA for Arbeloa so i can continue with my Spanish Athletic ;) Already stole Llorente :lol:

stole Llorente and not Negredo ? shame ..how about Gourcuff ?

Yeah I was going to take Negredo, but then a couple of hours before making the bid, the news came through that Negredo wasn't going to RSA and Llorente was... Added to the fact that Llorente is originally a part of Athletic + he's better than Negredo...
No Gourcuff as he's not Spanish ;) Sevilla (unmanaged) bought Negredo so your squad is only 21 players.

He can only blame himself for many things .. Sneijder was not really missed due to VDV rise who was one of the best players we had this season and it's normal that we balance the books though Robben (or any LM ) would be useful i don't think it would have helped with Pellegrini infatuation with 4-2-2-2 which has no wingers in it and lack of contact with Perez is actually a good thing we does a coach want the president to be involved in the team affairs ? he had Valdano with him all season and that's the way football clubs should be ..
if Perez was involved you bet he would complain of the president involvement , he is providing some excuses but please anyone would be really happy that a president in a Spanish club isn't involved in his business
and by the way he didn't complain from pressure from above but pressure in evaluating his work end of the season which is normal , to quote valdano words today Pellegrini wasn't a failure the project didn't meet it's targets and failed ..

But he wanted to play with wingers, just lacked the players to do so, plus nobody really discussed the sales with him... He had no contact with Perez, but as I understand Pellegrini he knew the orders on how to play and who to field, just didn't get them directly..

I think Mourinho is a good shorthand solution to be honest, he is bound to win something. I just think Pellegrini could have build more of a stable, long term project. Anyway, La liga will be the strongest its ever been, but unfortunately only two teams with a chance of winning it.

and according to pérez project was stability, with stability meaning winning titles.

I just think Pellegrini could have build more of a stable, long term project

could be...however, pellegrini lacks what it takes to motivate players, improve them and get the best out of them. that's where mourinho is second to none.
