The Real Madrid Thread [2005 - 2006]

[mufc_daddy]

Robinho has confirmed he is in talks with the Gooners!

I want him to join Real but i have no problems with having him here in England as there will be more coverage of him!

I could see him suiting Arsenals style of play but he will definitely have to bulk up a bit coz he will get smashed. He's not a thug though, which is a pre-requisite for becoming a Gooner. Arsenal would surely have some fine young, left footed players if Robinho joins (Reyes, Van Persie). He wants to play with Henry though.

Theres only one solution; Bring both Henry and Robinho to Madrid! lol

Although highly unlikely. Maybe Robinho could be at Barca with Henry and Ronaldinho

Brazilian wonderkid Robinho admits that Arsenal have been in contact with his representatives about a sensational move for the Santos man.

Robinho has long been touted as the next big star to emerge from the historically football rich grounds of Brazil, and both Real Madrid and Chelsea are believed to hold a strong interest.

The 21-year-old has broken in to the Brazilian national setup after consistently dazzling displays for Santos, and has been praised by Pele amongst others for his prodigious technique and ability.

Despite initially remaining cautious about interest from Arsene Wenger's side, Robinho has now conceded that he is in talks with The Gunners and would love to play alongside French star Thierry Henry.

"Arsenal have been in touch with my people in the last few days and they have made me aware of the offer," Robinho told the News of the World.

"I am very proud that they are looking at me because a club like Arsenal doesn't come in for you every day.

"It would be a dream for me to play alongside Thierry Henry, we will continue to talk."

Arsenal will reportedly launch a £14 million bid for his services, and if Robinho makes the move to Highbury he would join the likes of Robin van Persie and Jose Antonio Reyes in a strike-force blessed with fledgling talent.

However, after being strongly linked with a move to sign the talented youngster in the January transfer window, Real Madrid remain at the head of the queue for his prized signature.

Arsenal can forget about him. he's coming to Madrid, as soon as Copa Libertadores is over for Santos.

It would be funny if Real Madrid is trying to make sure that Robinho goes to Madrid and all the sudden he goes to Arsenal..

AS today:

for the midfield there's 4 players who's on Sacchi and Luxemburgo's list.

1. Steven Gerrard, Liverpool
2. Mickael Essien, Lyon
3. Michael Ballack, Bayern München
4. Pablo Garcia, Osasuna

Essien has already stated that he wants a Bernabeu move over Chelsea.
Abramovitch and Florentino are apparently fighting for Essien and Gerrard's signings.

out of those, i think it would be best to get Essien. he would be like a new Makelele and he's only 22 yrs old. he got great offensive skills too.

We wont get essien because we can't have another no european player and i don't think he would like to be benched. and I almost certain we wont get gerrard now that liverpool have won.

 

[Drvar]

i dont like any of the four mentioned. Essien is a non-EU player, Gerrard imho would lose half his skills if he left Liverpool, i just have that feeling, Ballack is not ofr Madrid, same for Garcia.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

How is Ballack 'not for Madrid?'

Let's try and be sensible here... Ballack is a world class central midfielder who would add stability to our midfield defensively as well as somebody who can create. He is multi-dimensional and a great player to have.

Ballack is like a cheaper Gerrard.

 

[ZamundaMan]

And now it seems that Robinho will slip right through your fingers.

This is already being discussed up above, so you're not making any ground-breaking news by saying 'now it seems.'

Learn to read, then discuss.

 

[djgperu1]

i think real should put more interest in robinho first so that he wont go to any other team,
his manager has been talking to other ppl but real has to settle an agreement b/t the team and the player before someone else does so.

 

[Hendrik]

Ballack is like a cheaper Gerrard.

Says who? He's not gonna leave Bayern for anything under 20 Mil.

 

[RUSI]

Liverpool want 40 mil. for Gerrard.


Also, does anyone have a list of our top 5 scorers from this year to put on the first page...

 

[Drvar]

For the season 2004/2005 Player Goals
Ronaldo
25
Michael Owen
14
Raúl
12
Luis Figo
7
Zinedine Zidane
6


taken from skysports.com, dont know how accurate it is. i think Zidane has 7 goals this year.

btw, you could remove all the pre-season friendlies, transfers for the past year, and make it just blank for this year, and edit as we go along.

 

[RUSI]

I thought Owen scored his 16th yesterday?...

 

[becksfranksteve]

yeah me too

 

[Drvar]

well its what skysports said, and they're screwed a bit, i clicked on Zidane's page and they had 7 goals marked there. and they have 22 goals of Ronaldo in la liga.

 

[RUSI]
