Real Madrid Thread [2007-2008]

About signings:

Seems to me that our club doesn't really know exactly what they want or don't know how to go about getting who they want. All this talk about Kaka and Co. is the usual rhetoric. Our lovely friends Barcelona have moved quick on who they want and who they "need". Henry done, Abidal close to signing, Chivu close, etc. I hope we get who we need (of course, probably waiting for Schuster to be official) without the usual circus and clubs trying to squeeze all the blood out of us.

Calderon doesn't even have the decency to tell Capello that he is no longer wanted. Seems like it's a bit disrespectful to keep him hanging. Lets just tell the man he's not wanted so we can all move on.

i think madrid do know what they need , who they want well it depends who is available and the price tag, iam pretty sure robben is the first one to land in madrid, madrid knew they needed a pure wingman, cause robinho isnt really a wing, like socrates mention one time madrid dont have real wings, another gap is a new CB which imo its gonna be betwen milito and andrade, cause its probable next season ramos is going back to sideback and well they would need at least 2 cb's to rotate and pair with cannavaro, one is metzelder and the other is whoever you get, madrid are also looking someone to replace r.carlos , and theirs been some new speculation recently about drenthe, which imo is stupid giving you guys have marcelo and torres its would just be a waste of young talent really, still if madrid feel theirs a gap missing in that position it should be heinze they should get, in the midfled it all depends if capello stays or schuster comes, if schuster comes iam pretty sure and offensive midfielder is comming ( diego perhaps ) , giving if capello stay's we all know he likes to play with 2 dm's, the only thing i dont understand is why you guys would need a new striker ( tevez ) , with a guy like soldado, raul , ruud, robinho.
but all in all it think madrid do knew what they need and who, imo they are beeing smart just like barca, so good luck in this summer.

I'v also heard of that. I really am worried about this. This isnt good at all! Lets see how it develops! But for now.....HALA MADRID! And btw, that board meeting that supposed to be Monday is tomorrow at 12:00! I think they will announce that they will sack Capello. Really a shame to handle like that with a coach that brought you the title, but this board is really corrupt and stupid that its normal for them to do such things.

Yes if it is true than it will be very very bad for us but it will be even worse if we just ignore it and pretend like nothing is going on.

About transfer's, it all depends on who the new coach is what he wants to do with the team ( Torres at LB or RB, Ramos at CB or RB, and etc ). If it was me I would move Torres to RB and have Ramos be CB. I think the position's we need to fill are

LB - Henize, this way Marcelo won't be in a bad spot as Henize is older and can rotate with Marcelo.

CB - Andrade, should be cheap and would work well with Ramos. Cannavaro can be the backup with Sergio Sanchez as the 4th CB.

RB - Torres as the starter and Cicinho as back/play against weaker teams so we won't be so exposed at the back.

LW - I would first try to get Reyes for cheap and play him as an actual LW and let Robinho be the RW. Quaresma could be an interesting option given that he can play both wings but it still might be risky to get him. In terms of backup I would try my best to keep Mata and promote him to the first team but as a backup, as far as I know the Valencia is still not offical yet.

RW - Not to sure TBH, if we get Reyes than we have Robinho to start the RW but we also need backups. For the RW not really sure, Nieto does not seem good enough and there is not too many cheap options that will be happy on the bench.

ST - Ruud need's someone who can play for him when he is injured or needs a rest. Soldado's seem the perfect fit but he wants to go back on loan to try and make the Spain 08 team so therefore I would sign Saviola for free ( It would be stupid as hell to sign Tevez ) and allow him to rotate with Ruud. This way when Soldado get's back Ruud will most likely be gone and we will still have 2 good ST.

I think the rest of the positions are covered and I don't think we really need an AMC ala Kaka or Diego if we play a flat 4-4-2.

exactly what i was talking about, except about diego.

 

[Socrates]

The problem I have with Diego or Kaka is that we would have to change our tactic to fit them rather than buying someone for our tactic. Right now we have the team for a 4-4-2 ( with a CM-DM in the middle ) and if we got Diego than we would need to change it to a 4-2-3-1 and that would cause problems for some of the players.

 

[untouchable]

Yeah...sack the only guy who's been able to win you something in 4 years. Real smart.

 

[Hepoas]

Hey guys! Congrats with the gold.

 

[Drvar]

to the thread starter:
Can you edit the thread title so it has that same icon last years' had? It may sound silly, but its alot more recognizable that way .

 

[justhammy]

Really we should consider Quaresma! The guy is fantastic!

And btw, who saw Brazil yesterday?! They lost 2-0 but hell Robinho was magic!! The guy is fantastic! We should give him a little more chance to play more in a central position with freedom to move. Damn the guy is freakin good!

EDIT: http://www.goal.com/en/articolo.aspx?contenutoid=338403
Bernd Schuster has been released! So there it is. There is our new coach. Good luck Capello, I wish you all the luck in the world I still cant believe this sh*t! F*Cking Calderon!

nah i missed it, any videos.

on the whole right wing thing robinho is crap at right wing i agree with justhammy, robinho should play as second striker with ruud thats his best position, we should defenetly try for queresma, i saw robinho play on the right twice last season and it didnt work at all, because he isnt a natrull winger.

ive just done that and changed the name of the thread but it doesnt seem to be coming up for some reason.

damn justhammy u beat me to it.

calderon is such a dick ******* kaka loving mother ****er, i hope he gets booted out, the guy doesnt know anything about respect or honour treating capello like he is a peace of ****, capello the best manager period good luck to him.

anyone watching real madrid tv mijatovic is giving a press confrence it offiacall he is sacked, why is there a sence of deja vu about this.

The whole thing is that he would not just stick to the right wing, he would be given freedom to roam around and switch with Reyes to confuse the defence. He could also switch with the SS ( Raul on the left wing, Reyes on the right wing ) so it would be very versatile to us.

 

[MaestroZidane]

hahaha our president is a F****K joke. Way to go, sack the only guy who wins us a title in four years, restores order in the team and brings them together. It really tels you that they don't know what they are doing. I am So F*****K mad right now. Maybe I will change my tune if we get wins in the first part of the season, otherwise I will just wish to tell calderon to go F**K himself.

 

[Hepoas]

Atletico Madrid have a deal with Quaresma, if someone buy then we can also buy and get yes.

 

[PSVFOREVER]

Please hire Ronald Koeman. That'd make my day.

 

[shrekiejai]

Interesting strategy of sacking the coach that just won the league. Thought you guys would've learnt from last time. It's as if your board don't actually want to win the league!

 

[Nuno]

The board is the biggest problem our team has. They're f*ckin pompous idiots.

 

[$teauA]

Capello was sacked ?

 

[Num Lock]

i'm amazed, i know Caps may be too italian for Real Madrid but i mean come on he coached them to victory.

 

[$teauA]

He wins their first trophy in god knows how long and the board sacks him... That board has the mentality of a mid-table Eastern European club.

 

[Help?]

Haha, your board of directors is ridiculous. Del Bosque wins the title, few days later sacked. Capello wins the title, few days later sacked.
