The Real Madrid Thread [2005 - 2006]

who cares about polls? benitez has already said he has no interest in coming to madrid...he's a great coach, but so is luxemborgo

no surprise about celades and caesar leaving, any news on raul bravo leaving?

 

[Raikkonen]

I think this article is a little bit biased... Guti is not the best player Madrid has had in the last ten years [so it states the article], I think the best player has been Raúl. [Even though the last two campaigns were not-so-good, the overall record is awesome]. I also think Guti has had many chances to probe what is he made of and he has wasted 'em [i. e., against Juve]. On the other hand, well... why doesn't Solari complain as well? Imho, Solari is waaay better than Guti, and yet he is still in the bench.

it says that Guti is the best 'canterano' of the last ten years. Raul isn't exactly a 'canterano', because he started in Atletico de Madrid youth academy, and when Jesus Gil y Gil closed it, he moved to Real Madrid

Guti is complaining because, in spite of the fact that he can play in a lot of different positions, none of the coachs (Capello, Del Bosque, Toshack, Luxa, Camacho, Garcia Remon, Queiroz...) has given him the chance to be a starter for an important part of the season. He has been a bencher since he moved to the first team.

Solari isn't complaining because he has a new contract , and he's more humble than Guti. He has said a lot of times that he can't be a starter over Zidane, because in his opinion, Zizou is one of the best players of the world and a living legend . Besides, Solari is often called to his NT and he has played and showed his worth in other teams (Atletico, River Plate). Guti has been in Real Madrid all his career, and he thinks he can't fight for a place in Spain NT or improve his game if he's always on the bench. In some way, he's right, but moving out wouldn't be good for him or for Real Madrid.

IMHO, Luxa is a great coach. As soon as the next season starts, we will see his full potential, since... this last campaign, he took the team in mid season, and, yet, look what he did. In the second part of La Liga we were the best team, closing the gap between Barca and us from 13 points [correct me if I am wrong] to only 4. With new players [and hopefully the comeback of Woodgate] we will be one hell of a side.

My thumbs up to Luxa!

I heard on the TV..That on some internet poll.....94% of Real Madrid fans wanted Rafa Benitez as your new coach...Is this true?

If so you can F.uck right off, Hes ours

I hope you know that Rafa start his career in Real Madrid, so you should thank us for him

 

[pullstones_jr]

Please God, don't let Guti leave....and drop-kick Raul Bravo to a galaxy far, far, away

Butragueño wants Pablo Garcia

He would cost like 8m euros. He isn't a great player, but he's way better than Celades or Borja. We would use him as a backup for the DM position.

Woodgate won't have vacations: he will train during June

i bet he will get injured before July 8th . If he's fit for the pre-season, i will use a Raul Bravo sig for 1 month

Sacchi and Butragueño showed his support to Real Madrid B players

hala madrid! i want to play with RM B in Fifa 2006 :fool:

Helguera thinks that signing Samuel was a good decision

at last!! now, AS and Marca can shut their mouths Samuel must stay.


damn, i forgot the most important news:

Florentino called Figo yesterday: the portuguese is free to negotiate with any other team.

Inter is keen to sell Adriano... in exchange of Figo, Solari, Samuel and $$$ :fool: yeah, yeah

[Pizarro14]

Madrid don't even dare to take Ballack from us



hopefully its not true but it would be great to see a German in Real Madrid

 

[Drvar]

ahh i dont know about Ballack. theres something strange to me about Germans outside the Bundesliga. maybe its the haircuts, i dont know .

 

[Crusad3r]

Madrid don't even dare to take Ballack from us



hopefully its not true but it would be great to see a German in Real Madrid

the last one was Bernd Schuster

 

[Nuno]

Where would Ballack play? We have 3 in midfield. Zidane, Gravesen, and Beckham. Our midfield is fine as it is. All we need is a new DM to backup Gravesen.

What i admire about Ballack this guy has all the tools a midfielder needs.


he is a great header, play DM role, play Offensive Role, a LEADER, isn't afraid of anyone, great shooter, never gives up and gives it all for the 90 mins on the field. I hate to lose him, and i'am not saying this only because i'am a Bayern fan

more than half... :fool:

personally, i couldn't care less if we sign him or not, but this is his last chance to prove his worth in one of the top 3 european leagues (Liga/EPL/Serie A). if he wants to come to Real Madrid, great for him. if he stays in Bayern, great for him too .

[Nuno]

Well, he is a player with galactico qualities so even though we don't need him, we'll probably end up with him anyway. Ecspecially sice it's his agent who's trying to start rumors.

Becker: Ballack could leave

Michael Ballack's agent has warned that the Germany international could leave Bayern Munich.

Contrary to reports in Bavaria suggesting the influential midfielder will sign fresh terms with Bayern, Dr Michael Becker believes his client may be attracted by a move abroad.

Real Madrid are one of the clubs tracking the former Bayer Leverkusen star and Becker admits that few players would turn down the opportunity to represent the Bernabeu giants.

"Everything is possible," Becker told As. "He has a contract until 2006 but it would not be very intelligent on Bayern's part to hope that he fulfils it because next year they would not get any money if he leaves.

"Ballack knows he is going to sign his last great contract."

Real could face competition from other clubs with Barcelona past admirers of Ballack's talents.

"I do not know of any player who would not like to play for Real Madrid," added Becker.

"It is certain that Barcelona tried to sign him but Bayern did not want to lose their player then.

"However, the circumstances are now different."



I seriously would wish him all the best if he does really head over there and wouldn't worry about him getting a starting spot. I know he will and he has like 4-5 more years in him and still be class.

Beckham gets injured alot and zidane will prob need quite alot of rest next year as he will be even older so i think luxa wud just interchange alot
