The Real Madrid Thread [2006 - 2007]

Yo I also think so! And Tevez is NOT better than Van da Man or Robinho!!!!

Tevez should not be compared to Van Nistelrooy, as they are totally different players. And I would say, Robinho has more skill, but I think Tevez is more effective. He has more grit and heart.

Also, Van is getting up there.

I kind of agree, I think he has more grit or more effective than Robinho because he is bigger than Robinho so he can push his way through people more while Robinho can't but there no question about his heart. He has been really trying this year even helping out the defence quite a bit.

Anyway next season we will have a forward line up like this, ST - Ruud and Soldado. SS - Raul, Robinho, Higuain, Cassano, and maybe Baptsita. I hope we sell off Cassano and Baptista leaving us with 3 SS and 5 forwards total if you include Ruud and Soldado which is great for a 4-4-2 so that way in case of injury or fatigue we have great cover. We really need to focous on wingers and that's it really I am quite happy with our midfielders ( Diarra, Gago, Guti, De la Red, and Javi Garcia is plenty for next season ). Also we need to improve our FB positions.

Well I can safely say that I'm sure you've seen more of Robinho than I have this year, so I'll take your word for it.

The word I'm looking for for the difference between Tevez and Robinho is "garra" in Spanish, but I don't know how to translate it properly.

I think Tevez has more "garra" than Robinho. But I do think Robinho will get there when he develops more. Tevez has advanced a lot this season and his finish to the year has been nothing short of phenomenal, something like 7 goals in 10 games. He basically saved West Ham.

I do agree with the rest of your assessment. Madrid could do with better wingers and SB. Also someone creative like Diego (I hope you don't get him )

 

[MaestroZidane]

Had he failed with west ham, then I would agree that he is overrated. But he himself took west ham and carried them on his back. If it wasn't for him, west ham would be relegated. In the last ten games he had 7 goals. Tell me, who else has done the same thing in his first year in the premiership??

Having said that, I don't believe we need him since we have too many strikers as it is.

I see, in case I do agree with you about Tevez and more garra. I have heard the phrase before so I know what you mean and yea his end to the season was great.

My only problem with Diego would be that we would need to change our lineup a bit, I admit I don't know much about his playing style but many compare him to Kaka so I am guessing he won't defend much in which case we won't play a 4-4-2 which would mean that we would play a 4-2-3-1 and we have way too many forwards to do that. I would be happy with a Diarra and Gago pairing in the middle as long as we have very good wingers like David Silva, Reyes, Sergio Garcia, Ribery, or Quaresma so the could make up for the lack of creativity in the middle. Also Raul, Robinho, and Higuain would help with the creativity and Gago will imo eventually become a Pirlo type player so that will help a lot.

 

[CarlosDanger]

True.

Well, I guess it really depends on who you get. Quaresma would be a great acquisition, and you know he would hate playing us, so that's a plus for Madrid.

I guess it also depends on whether Capello stays or not.

All i have to say is that C.Ronaldo is not coming to madrid now that ManUtd won the premiership. Kaka only way to get him is if Ronaldinho goes to Milan Tevez no thanks too many people in that position

but we can get Quaresma as he can play in both LW and RW
Diego is the same type of player as Kaka but he doesnt have the fame as kaka does:boyaka:

Saviola would be way better than Tevez he gets way too agressive and can turn out to be another Cassano which we do not need!

 

[Gene Reginato]

It's hard to compare Robinho and Tevez, the latter was awarded best south american player twice, but was completely overshadowed by the former during the time they both played in Brazil.

 

[Javyol]

Jesus Navas played really well for Sevilla in UEFA Cup Final.

I really like the idea if we can get Quaresma and Diego.C.Ronaldo and Kaka seem very hard to get for now.

Typical to not see any defenders on your dream list, specially with Cannavaro possibly leaving.

No where in his post did he mention that being his dream list, so much for trying to take a stab at him though.

 

[yt23w]

wow, what a win for us! incredible! except for the 1st half defense....eeek

yeah, to throw my 2 cents worth in, No to Tevez, i'm sure we will try for Kaka and C.Ronaldo ANYWAY!!! but Quaresma (from what i've heard) is a great option. lets keep the Portugese wingers tradition alive (or start one)

Id say Raul will still be at the club but wont play as much, i TOTALLY Forgot about Cassano, he will leave in the break, so we will be down 2 Support Strikers,

but it ALLLLL depends on the coach. if Cap goes then the next coach might want a different formation, and require different players!

i will post more when my head clears. damn this flu!

 

[Javyol]

Does anyone know what position Miguel Nieto plays?

Whaaaaaaaaaaat??? It's still not sure that Salgado will leave us???
He was a very good Player but now too old!
What about Players from Real Madrid Castilla like Javi Garcia, De la Redand Mata? Will they leave us or will they play for us next Season? Because then we won't need a Replacement for Emerson if he would really leave us!

 

[MaestroZidane]

What about Reyes??

 

[Javyol]

What about Reyes??

If the Reyes swap with Baptista is permanent then we will have to pay Arsenal 3 million pounds.

I believe we should promote the following players:
Nieto
de la Red
Javi Garcia
Mata

Maybe Simao could work on the left.
