Silencer;2378546 said:Again I will be following Real Madrid with more interest now that Wesley joined you and yes Madrid is turning into Orange soon
Silencer;2378532 said:Congrats with signing our best player, I really don't think you need him but that's another story. I'm sad to see Wes go but I wish him all the best with Real Madrid and you gain one of the best midfielders in Europe so treat him well or we (Ajaxfans) will come looking for you
djgperu1;2377954 said:i didnt think it waz a bad game...
we just missed Van Nistelrooy up front...
we attacked the entire second half.. and our CBs looked really good

Socrates;2378614 said:KingPaulV, I forgot to post this but I have read that Roma are getting closer to singing Cicinho. Would be great if it happened than we could get Henize for cheap as hell because they would rather not give him to Liverpool. LBs would = Henize and Marcleo. RBs = Ramos and Torres.
pede54;2378618 said:Heinze is a donkey. All muscle and no brain. WTF would Madrid want a player like that for. He's not even good enough for Man U so why would you guys be happy with a reject from that club? I think thatyou guys could do a lot better than Heinze really.
KingPaulV;2378620 said:well first of all, I would be happy with not having Heinze, I think that would turn into another failed experiement, like Cicihno did...but that's another topic entirely.
As far the chemistry thing; Well considering that its very likely that 4 of our starters will be playing with each other in Real and with each other in the Holland NT then I guess that should mute the chemistry question...hehe
On the performance of the team:
I got my doubts about Schuster, always have, you can research that; but, let's give the guy time. By August 31st we should look complete from his standpoint. All he needs to do is shut up and coach, because he is a good coach; but one thing that concerns me is that it seems as if the pressure of being the Real Coach is getting to him, even this early. In Getafe they would have been happy to just play the supercup, in Madrid, a 1-0 loss to a good Sevilla team away in a home and away system is near disaster; that is the reality of being the Madrid coach, can he handle it....we will know pretty soon.
Also, For those of you that claim this is the worse pre-season ever...I think that it could work in our favor. We played descent competition for the most part and lost to some descent teams...I certainly would not like to be like Barca, they went out and played all these amateur teams from East Asia (i know some of them are pro teams but they play like amateurs) and now they are touted as confortable CL Winners....looks can be deceiving what's the use of putting up 15 against D grade teams and losing La Liga or the Champions....
I like titles, as much as I like good football, but if I had to pick; I would go for titles....that's all I will say on the Schuster-Capello Issue..
Like I'v said before Cannavaro looks damn good this pre-season (and he did so in the last half of last season) so I'm not worried about him! Drenthe played LB at Feyenoord, but he makes too many Cicinho like faults () and he doesnt want to play at LB so he will probably be benched for Robben. I also heard that Marcelo is gonna be loaned out to some club (almeria I think), that would s*ck. He impressed me against PSV! But lets hope this is just some rumour (again).Socrates;2378716 said:From what I have read we will be using Drenthe as a winger not a fullback and also I think that's his more favored position right?
BTW that formation looks damn nice, all we need to change is the LB for either Torres or Marcelo ( or Henize:amika: ). The only thing that kind of worries me is Fabio but hopefully he does better this year.
Lol, his last season was f*cking sensational, he played like 30 games and scored 15 goals (+ like 20 assists) Thats ALOT for a midfielder. Dont worry about Sneijder, he will be there when neededyt23w;2378738 said:Can anyone comment on Sneijder's form last season? was he good, bad, average, sensational?
