Official : Jonathan Woodgate to Real Madrid

[ZamundaMan]

As much as we hate these boards, they run clubs, and they are really just businessmen conducting business. They see a profit, they will jump the gun, and will leave the coach in a limbo(then they fire him when he fails....Queiroz). That's just how it is.

none moreso than F. Sheppard.
he's a great businessman ... which isn't always in newcastle's favour i guess.

anyway i think i've made my peace with the situation either way.
I'm hoping we can now bring in young Dawson from Not. Forest and give Taylor his needed run in the 1st team to maybe become a proven premierleague player.

Still nothing official on Real's official site.

Its only a matter of time though.

Sven will have a tough choice if Woody does go and play regularly as often as Sol, Terry and soon to be Rio.

what number woodgate wear?

lol ... he'd only just switched to #6 at newc

 

[mufc_daddy]

16 is my guess.

 

[ZamundaMan]

Sven WILL play Woodgate ahead of any defender if he is performing well at Real. Especially since he is playing in a foreign league, he will have that much experience over the rest of his team mates.

 

[ShearerM4]

well it's like magic innit.
like Smith playing up front now he's signed for ManU
or Saha suddenly automatic choice once he'd signed fir the devils.

 

[ZamundaMan]

yup, just like Paul Scholes playing in LM for England just because he is Paul Scholes, even though a player from a Mid-table club could have filled a position he specializes in and maybe performed better. It's how International football is, you play for a big team, your guaranteed a spot.

i guess he will wear number 4 in RM.

cant imagine what RM will be if Woodgate really goes to there and if every the players dont get injured constantly.

------------------------------Casillas--------------------------
Salgado------Woodgate--------Samuel---------R. Carlos
Figo-----------Beckham----------Helguera---------Zidane
----------------------Raul------------Ronaldo----------------

do u think Morientes deserves to be a regular alongside Ronaldo? i think he is very good but Raul's status is very high in RM.


Oh...where should they put Owen then? He cant play the defensive midfielder role then....lol so he will be on the bench

 

[WilliamFAlmeida]

I like

----------------Casillas
Salgaldo Samuel Woodgate Carlos
---------------Helguerra--------------
Figo---Beckham----Zidane----Raul
---------------Ronaldo----------------


Madrid really need a LM now.

 

[henry#14]

maybe his fortunes will change

 

[Champ]

Woodgate to Real M, what a strange transfer...

 

[hanek45]

20 MILLIONS

:funny: Holy Sh!t...



Is he really worth it.. damn thats expensive..



Hey, can someone give me (us..) a small description about him

please..

 

[SB9Dragon]

Woodgate for 20 million? Sorta funny how Real were bitching about Cannavaro's salary and they hand out 20 mill for Woody.

Good signing for them, though I'm even more happy that for now Cannavaro is still an Inter player.

 

[buzzer555]

Yeah, real needed the extra man in defends.

your wrong... there is no way he would rest rio or sol (especially not sol) and even john terry is ahead of woodgate. i would even prefer king because hes an agile big man

 

[Frostwolf]

Ledley King is very similar in playstyle to Campbell, I'm surprised people don't rate him considering how well he played last season for Spurs and also at Euro.

 

[TOON ARMY]

He's a good old fashioned center-back. Wins his headers, makes great tackles, throws himself infront of any shot, quick, very organised.

I highly rate him, good luck to him.
