off topic question: How the hell did Raul Bravo get the chance to wear RM jersey?

i can't even imagine him in a second divison team. who scouted him, if u think i'am going to far with this i'am sorry but this guy is just plain bad. his mistakes over and over seem to never go away. Hopefully u guys can turn him into the Real Madrid waterboy if he wishes to stay with Real Madrid :ewan:

28-05-2005, 04:29:AM

i think some one should get the new thread rolling on with the important stuff. (no not how we hate vitu). but things like transfers n so forth. i will take the honours.

Miguel looks to be a great buy if Madrid can pursuade him to join.
can anyone tell me about Jorge Andrade?!? like how much he would be and how long on his contract is left for Deportivo???
and what happened to the Phillip Lahm brigade who wanted this guy?? i think Madrid should try and get him. he is listed as a LB/RB which is great! if salgado or r.carlos is out then he could fill in either side. but i dunno if he will be benched. but if robbie.C is on the way out then he'd be perfect replacement.

and also Pizzarro14 believe it or not Raul Bravo is.... :nape: ....is..... :S part of the Spanish national team. here it is in writing: http://www.euro2004.com/tournament/players/player=43777/index.html

anyways its good to see that we're being linked to a defender this time rather than an attacker!! what do u guys think.

QYC

28-05-2005, 04:58:AM

Lahm is Bayern property and will return from loan this summer. He's out 'til next calender year and i seriously doubt Bayern would sell their #1 left back. We barely ever sell players we need.

FT 3-1

Owen, RC and Ronaldo.

Figo's last game... he showed a lot of courage, and the last thing he did at Real Madrid was the assistance for the third goal. :jap:

yes, because we will have a new sponsor : Siemens (H), instead of Siemens Mobile. :fool:

we ended the season in style. the players had that motivation that i thought wouldn't have been there. i was suprised Celades got 90 minutes. but he did it good and he showed that he has some great passing skills. :) does this mean Luxa want to keep him? hmmmm...

i was just thinking.. when Robinho arrives and if we sign Joaqúin..

how will we play?

---------Gravesen--------
--Beckham-------Zidane--
-----------Raúl----------
----Robinho-----Ronaldo--

or will it be

-----Beckham---Gravesen-----
--Joaqúin------------Robinho--
--------Raúl-------Ronaldo---

i cant imagine Luxa benching Robinho and we cant bench Joaqúin.

if anyone has any other ideas about our midfield and attack 2005-2006.
im very interested. :)

Robinho has confirmed he is in talks with the Gooners! :kader:

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! :rockman:

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 :brow:

-----------------------
http://skysports.planetfootball.com/list.asp?hlid=281227&CPID=8&CLID=&lid=2&title=Robinho+reveals+Gunners+talks&channel=Football_Home

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. :read:

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.

29-05-2005, 02:11:PM

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.

Ballack is not just an offensive midfielder. He has good defensive skills and would partner Gravesen in the middle. When we have the likes of Zidane, Figo, Raul, Solari, etc. in midfield, then Ballack would not be an offensive midfielder.

I didn't know Liverpool asked for that much. Still, he's four years older and has only one year left in his contract.

Ballack is used the best as a classic No. 8 with one playmaker in front of him and a defensive midfielder backing him up.

Real Madrid B can share players with the A team only if those players are younger than 25 y/o. But (if i'm not mistaken) if Real Madrid B gets promoted to 2nd Division, all the players must have professional contracts and they can't share players with the A team :(. That's the prize for having two pro teams.

If they are promoted, we could send R. Bravo there (H)... and he will send the team to 3rd div next year :(

i think they play at Las Rosas, the same place where the A team trains. But next season, they will play at La Ciudad Deportiva del Real Madrid(H), our new super-facility.

Casillas and Raul wont go anywhere, dont believe every rumour you read. And every team has their "Guti", a very good player that sits on the bench, and helps the team when called up.
And Zidane is just Zidane, every coach we've had has kept Zidane in the team, because they know that at any time, he can turn the game, no matter how crap he's been. Guti should go to another team, hes too good to sit on the bench here though. Sh*t happens when you have so many class players :).

Bad, bad, bad news :( :( :(

Guti wants to leave Real Madrid (http://www.as.com/articulo.html?d_date=20050531&xref=20050531dasdaiftb_3&type=Tes&anchor=dasftb)

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.

On the recently conducted AS.com poll where it's _ALL_ Madridistas, 74% voted for Luxemburgo to be back next year. 17% voted for Capello, and 9% voted for Benitez.

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 :jap:

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 :brow: , 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 (Y). 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.

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

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!

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

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.

Is that why Luis Figo led our entire team in assists both in La Liga and Champions' League?

Come on.

Figo was our best player this season behind Casillas and Ronaldo.

Raikkonen

01-06-2005, 10:22:PM

what real has done with Figo is ridiculous. This guy was your best player in the first half of the season, while others played like crap(i.e. Raul, Beckham, Zidane, Ronaldo) then Luxembourgo(idiot) arrives and he loses his starting spot imediately, while players like Zidane continue to play.

Thank God he is finally leaving

This isn't Luxa's fault. He did what he thought was the best for the team: to sit one galactico. He used Figo as RW and CAM, and Figo didn't play good in any of those positions. Meanwhile, Owen was scoring in almost every game, coming from the bench.

In La Liga, with Luxemburgo as coach and:
Figo as a starter: 14 matches, 9 W - 1 D - 3 L -> 67% and out of CL
Figo in bench: 8 matches, 6 W - 2 D - 0 L -> 83%
(i guess he didn't lose his spot "inmediately" :rolleyes: )

He could have sit Raul, Beckham or Zidane instead of Figo, but i guess none of them would have bitch around like Figo :rolleyes:. I agree that he was one of the best players in the first half of the season, and he has been great for the past 4 years, but we must think in the "greater good": the team. If Luxa thought that the team would be better w/o Figo in the starting XI (but coming from the bench in every match), Figo should had agreed with him. And the fact is that the team was better w/o Figo. If Figo doesn't like to be on the bench, he can move to another team. I will feel sad, like i have said 100000 times, because he's one of my favourites players, but as a Real Madrid fan, the team comes first to me.

It's Figo's call. Luxemburgo already said it: "I wouldn't have any problem if Figo wants to stay another season". But if Figo wants to start every game until he retires and/or an extension until 2007, he should go. :jambo:

Drvar

01-06-2005, 10:24:PM

that was all the first part of the season. he basicly carried the team then, similar like last year when he was the only one trying. its sad to see him go, but hey, he did everything he could for us here.

I'm really afraid of how Robinho would fit in Real Madrid. I know he playing amazing in Brasil league, but there is way easier for player like him than in Europe. Someone could say that Carlos is also small player and he played great in Europe, but Robinho is even smaller (is that possible:rolleyes:), and he's not so strong as Roberto.

yeah, he's so skinny :(. But he can go to dinner with Ronaldo, i'm sure he will gain a lot of weight there (6).

Owen is small and skinny too, but he's fast as hell, like Robinho, and the brazilian has more talent. We should wait and see, i'm sure Luxemburgo will know what to do, he already coached Robinho in Brazil.

Real Madrid invite Juventus to bid for Samuel

Real Madrid are ready to listen to offers for defender Walter Samuel.

The Argentina international has failed to live up to his £18 million price-tag in his first season in Spain and Real intermediaries have been put on notice they're willing to do business over the former AS Roma defender.

Juventus coach Fabio Capello is a big fan of Samuel and is keen to be reunited with the stopper. Agents have already been notified of Real's willingness to discuss a deal - with a mooted swap involving Brazilian midfielder Emerson on the agenda for the Spanish giants.

Real GM Arrigo Sacchi is ready to cut his losses over Samuel, particularly as his Spanish passport won't arrive until Christmas, complicating the arrival of Brazilian winger Robinho from Santos.

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

if we have to sell Samuel to get Robinho, there's nothing to discuss. Bye Walter :ewan:

as long as we get a new defender, it's ok to let him leave.

Diego wasn't bad, but i expected alot more

yeah, we know... but Luxemburgo knows him very well, and i guess Robinho will start in bench. In Diego's case, he didn't fulfill the expectations because he had to replace Deco, who was amazing at Porto, and people thought he was going to be as good as him. Diego is a very good player, but there was too much pressure on him.

----------Casillas-----------
--Salgado-Samuel-Helguera-- (Pavon)
-Ramos------------R.Carlos--
---------Gravesen----------- (Maldonado)
--Beckham-------Zidane----- (Guti)
---C.Ronaldo--Raul---------- (Robinho)
---------Ronaldo------------ (Owen)

How about this line-up?

we can't play with 12 players :fool:

we won't get Maldonado because he doesn't have an european passport :(. Instead, Real Madrid will sign Pablo Garcia (http://www.as.com/articulo.html?d_date=20050602&xref=20050602dasdaiftb_14&type=Tes&anchor=dasftb). imo, he's not as good as Maldonado, but he would be a nice add to our team. The agreement would be public after the Copa del Rey final (June 11th).

i think Luxemburgo will use Raul as midfielder next season, so we will have 2 forwards (Ronaldo and Owen, i hope) and 3 players who could play as midfielders or forwards (Raul, Guti, Robinho), because Portillo would be loaned to Zaragoza (http://www.as.com/articulo.html?d_date=20050602&xref=20050602dasdaiftb_53&type=Tes&anchor=dasftb) :jap: . I really hope Owen stays, he has been great in his first season at Spain, but RM could sell Owen for around 23m euros after his performance vs Colombia. (http://www.as.com/articulo.html?xref=20050602dasdaiftb_17&anchor=dasftb&type=Tes&d_date=20050602). I wouldn't sell him even for 30m, because we would have only 1 forward (Ronie) if he leaves, and there aren't too many great forwards in the market to replace him. Besides, Guti could leave for 20m euros (http://www.as.com/articulo.html?xref=20050602dasdaiftb_20&anchor=dasftb&type=Tes&d_date=20050602) :(. The club is counting with him for next season, but if he wants to go, and someone offers 20m or more for him, Real Madrid would let him go :nape: .

I have a doubt.... why do you need another winger if you have Beckham I mean look him play to Madrid and then look him in England NT, he already improved in Madrid i know but he always do a wonderful job in England NT, so i dont see anymore the need of bid Joaquin or C Ronaldo, but if u want a winger i rather Cristiano cuz he can play both sides, See ya!!! :ewan:

------------Casillas-------------
--Salgado---Samuel---Helguera-- (Pavon)
-Ramos----------------R.Carlos-
-----------Gravesen------------ (Maldonado)
--Beckham----------Zidane----- (Guti)
-----C.Ronaldo----Raul---------- (Robinho)
------------Ronaldo------------- (Owen)

How about this line-up?

It's good, but unfortunately, in the sport of soccer you are not allowed to play with 12 players. The teams are allowed to play with 11 in total; 10 out and 1 goalkeeper.

Anyone wants to place bets on Portillo scoring against us next year? Ex-Madrilenos ALWAYS feed on us.

On another note, imo selling Samuel is one of the worst things we can do. We have no one who can consistently play well in his position(Pavon IS a bit suspect, and we'll have to wait and see if Woody will bear fruit) so we will have to spend big bucks to replace him( Rio Ferdinand etc.) We'll probably have to buy a backup keeper to replace Cesar too.

P.S. What happened to the young attackers and midfielders that played in the cup matches last year like soldado, alex perez and even juanfran? How about if we build them into quality players for now and forget about buys like essien and robinho?

Portillo is garbage.

He won't score against us even if he played, but that's irrelevant because since the Morientes fiasco, Perez will not let loaned-out Madrid players play against us.

Anyways, Portillo is terrible, couldn't score for Fiorentina in Serie A and was being dropped from the team consistently. He'll suck at Zaragoza, too.

so Pablo Garcia, it is then. i don't know much about this player, but Sacchi and Luxa made the right choice with Tommy. so im not worried. nice to add some Uruguayan flavour to the Blancos.

he has lots of experience in both La Liga and Serie A. played in Milan 2 yrs.

the AS article about Garcia says, that there will be one more midfielder signed. an offensive one.

Samuel interview

he says i want to remain in Madrid. i feel very comfortable here and my family is very well in Madrid. i want to gain titles. going back to Italy doesn't appeal to me at all.

ever since colonization times they forced everybody to be catholic and it really makes sence to have Spanish teams with crosses on their symbols.

Maldonado > P.Garcia ; Maldonado is younger and improving. Besides I don't want to take away the best player from "el Vasco" Aguirre, only if he gets a new job in La Liga with another team...will I be ok with the signing of Garcia.

- Will Portillo be starting @ Zaragoza?
- Woddy's improving his shape and practicing, ain't he? :D

yeah, i know :( but we can't get Maldonado well, we could get him... if we sell Samuel

i think Portillo won't start at Zaragoza, but if Villa leaves, he would be a starter for sure.

I have a doubt.... why do you need another winger if you have Beckham I mean look him play to Madrid and then look him in England NT, he already improved in Madrid i know but he always do a wonderful job in England NT, so i dont see anymore the need of bid Joaquin or C Ronaldo, but if u want a winger i rather Cristiano cuz he can play both sides, See ya!!! :ewan:

this all 'RW thing' it's because we will only have one RW in the squad (Beckham). Both Joaquin and Cristiano can play as RW and LW, so any of them would be a great sign.

What happened to the young attackers and midfielders that played in the cup matches last year like soldado, alex perez and even juanfran? How about if we build them into quality players for now and forget about buys like essien and robinho?

they're fighting for the promotion to second division (more info here (http://www.soccergaming.tv/showpost.php?p=1808947&postcount=118) ). if they get promoted, i guess those players will stay there. if they stay in third division, some of them will be promoted to the first team or loaned to another first division team.

Anyways, Portillo is terrible, couldn't score for Fiorentina in Serie A and was being dropped from the team consistently. He'll suck at Zaragoza, too.

he scored 4 goals in Fiorentina: one in Serie A, and 3 in Coppa Italia :jap:

Could Pablo Garcia be a good signing for Real Madrid?

He's a good player, not a big star, but he does the dirty job in the midfield. He would play in the place of Gravessen.

Barça tried to sign him last season to substitute Davids but Osasuna asked to too much money then.

Dunno, he's like 30 now, right? So he's not getting any younger, and Real aren't using him that much, so the best of luck to him in England I guess.

It doesn't really matter if Real Madrid isn't using him much or anything

He's out of a contract on July 1st and is welcome to sign anywhere he wishes. And he's 29.

Today's news

The signing of Pablo Garcia will be Offical after Copa Del Rey final. (http://www.as.com/articulo.html?xref=20050603dasdaiftb_11&anchor=dasftb&type=Tes&d_date=20050603)

Sergio Ramos - The 2nd objective. Madrid have offered 15 million. (http://www.as.com/articulo.html?d_date=20050603&xref=20050603dasdaiftb_8&type=Tes&anchor=dasftb)

Michael Ballack - 3rd objective. offer for him is going to be around 15 million. (http://www.as.com/articulo.html?xref=20050603dasdaiftb_16&anchor=dasftb&type=Tes&d_date=20050603)

Luxemburgo requests Benfica defender Luisao. (http://www.marca.com/edicion/noticia/0,2458,639404,00.html)

wow, Ballack for 15m? that would be nice :jap: a cheap CM. as long as we don't spend +40m on Gerrard, i will be happy.

Santos lost 3-2 vs Atl. Paranaense in Copa Libertadores. If they get eliminated next wednesday, Robinho's signing would be official next weekend (Brazil has to travel to Germany to some Mickey Mouse Cup on June 15th, i think)

And Luisao? :| :| what for? if we are after Sergio Ramos, why another CB? we already have 4: Helguera, Samuel, Pavon and Woodgate, and with Ramos, we would have 5.

i guess this summer will be very interesting:

OUT
Celades
Cesar
and probably Portillo and Borja (to Zaragoza and Getafe), + Figo (?)

IN (pure speculation)
Ballack
Robinho
Pablo Garcia
Sergio Ramos
+ a RW (Joaquin?? or C. Ronaldo?? we can't have both)

and a probably line-up (just dreaming)

-------------- Casillas --------------
Salgado - Helguera - Samuel - R. Carlos
-------------- Gravesen --------------
- Beckham (?) - Ballack - Zizou (Raul?)-
------------------- Raul (Robinho?) ----
-------------- Ronaldo ----------------

Bench
D. Lopez
Ramos
Pavon
Woodgate
P. Garcia
Solari
Guti (?)
Owen
RW?
