MaestroZidane
YELLOW CARD: Untrustworthy
KingPaulV;2664636 said:I've heard reports that he might not run at all, though I dont suppose they are real reports anyway....I also heard that he has learned his lesson and that he will leave the sporting side to the experts and worry about making the club money and using his contacts to acquier the good players we need to make a real run at Europe.....
To this day I still ask myself.....why did he fire Del Bosque....he could have coached us to this day....he was wonderful and great coach and great tactician....also a great man manager....
anyway, so its time to look to the future and firstly the changes that are inevitable.....so Madridistas lets make our list, who goes and who stays....
This is my opinion and my opinion only feel free to discuss
Casillas-Untouchable
Dudek-Out, old and outdated
Codina- Keep him he will be the 2nd Keeper, he's actually really good
Torres-Out, He regresed tremendously last year, and this year; another Cantera guy can fill his spot
Heinze- Out, Past his best years; makes too many costly mistakes
Marcelo-Stay, Has proven to be a real option as a winger, should never play again as a LB, but I would keep him as a winger
Ramos-Stay, He need a coach who can manage his lack of tactical and professional discipline; but has great upside
Cannavaro-Out already going to Juve
Pepe-Stay, if he would learn to be less dirty and keep his cool in key moments he would be a world class CB.
Salgado- OUT OUT OUT
Metzelder- Out, injury prone, plus doesnt have the level for this club
De La Red- Stay, he was wonderful when active, unfortunately he might never play again
Javi Garcia- Out, pretty much useless this season, i think the pressure of being at Madrid got to him
Guti-Out, past his prime, too immature....not what we need
Gago- Stay, I dont love Gago, but when he was given confidence before Lass came in he was playing great, the only one who was playing great, so I know the potential is there
Lass- Untouchable!!
Diarra- Out, the other Diarra just took his job while was gone...sorry!
Sneijder- Stay, One more year, no more, he needs to cut the crap, if not, out
Van der Vaart- Out, he's unhappy he wont be productive here
Robben-Stay, yeah he's selfish but he's also pretty electric when he's on
Raul-Stay, Only cause of who he is, however he would be nothing more than a complimentary bench guy for me, he is past his time...still a legend, still ok, but way past his time...I LOVE HIM! tho.
Van Nistelrooy- Stay, Im interested to see how he will play after this long injury, could be his last year in all reality...he was on fire before he got hurt thought
Higuain-Untouchable
Hunterlaar-Stay, A real scoring threat....HAS to stay, he's the next Van Gol
Faubert- Out, he was only a loan anyway
Parejo- Stay, Guti say hello to your replacement
Drenthe-Out, Doesnt have nowhere near the level to be at this club
Saviola-Out, pretty useless as well, he never performed when given a shot
Palanca- Stay, only really saw him in one game, and against Barca he was pretty good, for a guy playing out of position, give the lad a chance i say...
I agreed on all your point, and SPECIALLY the one with Raul. I feel that a big improvement will be made the moment he becomes just a substitute player.
Guti, it's a shame that his head is all over the place. If he would only be a consistent player, he would be a complete player. Sneijder, You have a chance to take over his place if you get your act together.
De la red, Anyone has an update on his health status?? haven't heard anything about him for a while.
Juande Ramos -- I'm probably in the minority that would like to see him stay. He did wonders the moment he came in, and bringing in Lass was a major move. We need consistency in coaching and I feel this should be the first step in that direction.
