Real Madrid Thread [2007-2008]

[Drvar]

i want Marcelo or Torres back at LB, Drenthe didnt look good there. otherwise, some great stuff last night from the defence up .

 

[KingPaulV]

no no hammy that Barca game is final...0-0

 

[datboy]

Heinze will be our LB. as soon as hes fit to play.
Marcelo will probably be loaned out. i think it would be good for him.

 

[mega montana]

wow, i really hope puerta is ok

you never think someone so young would have a heart attack

lol! I meant something like the downfall has started

Btw, Granero nr. 18 Bloody fantastic! He looks like a very big one! BUT no De La Red it seems. O well, we got one of them so I'm happy. And for me Granero is with Bueno our biggest talents atm. Bueno is just 19 and Granero 20. But now that he got a number (and a proper one) lets hope he gets a chance somewhere this season!!

Bueno,adrian, and granero should be loaned.. they will probably not have enough minutes this season...
wont even make the list...we have way too many players

balboa and de la red will play in copa del rey games and probably CL...group stage games

Hey guys whats the latest new on Alves in Spain, here in England on Sky Sports news it says Alves sat out Seville's game last night and his move to Madrid looks imminent.

 

[datboy]

The Fantastic Bore.. umm i mean Four couldn´t score against Racing.

Alves will be Madridista soon.

As much as I like Alves, I dont think we need him. Ramos looks fantastic on the right flank. I gotta say that Ramos might not have Alves' pace, but the rest is pretty much the same. Ramos is a better defender though. So I dont know why we should get Alves. The AS story is a lot funnier, Alves to Farca. Ronaldinho to Chelsea! LMAO!

My guess is if we got Alves would mean that we are going to move Ramos to CB with Pepe beside him which would be very nice...but I don't think we should do this move, too much money man.

 

[datboy]

i can assure you that Ramos-Pepe is much better then Canna-Pepe
but we have offered 36 million and Del Nido wants 42.

i would welcome Alves.

Check this out from as.com http://www.as.com/articulo/futbol/Alves/Barca/Ronaldinho/Chelsea/dasftb/20070826dasdaiftb_40/Tes/ It's in Spanish though. Basically says Alves to Barca, Ronnie to Chelsea! That can't be right! I wouldn't mind getting him actually. He's fantastic. We can find a spot for him, easily. Perhaps have him at RB with RAmos next to him, Pepe, Torres/Heinze/Torres/Marcelo(he probably will get sold though). Rotate Cannavaro (yea right!) w/ Pepe, Metz....or we can play Alves as a RM? We'd be even deadlier w/ Alves. If we offer cash + some player it wouldn't put such a big dent in our wallet. And who are we kidding? We spent so much already that spending a bit more won't be a big deal.

In other news, Villareal totally humiliated an already pathetic Valencia side 3-0. Valencia players were diving, acting, abusing the ref, etc. all game long. Quite embarrasing. They have a sh!t team to say the least. Villareal looked very good and will be on a high when we visit them next match day. Will be a big game for both. In other news, nexcomers Almeria made fun of Deportivo at the Riazor of all places by handing them a nifty 3-0.Farca and the Fantastic Sore couldn't beat a sad Racing even witha man down!!! They will fall into the Galactico curse.

is anyone here a member of 'rojadirecta forums' ?
i just registered, but the activation doesnt work. they have the Madrid Derby but and i was wondering if anyone could give me the links for it?

 

[Becks is God]

yea from what Shuster was saying he would play Alves RM, that would probably mean Robinho benched though and that would suck allthough Alves and Robben on the wings would probably give the team more balance.

So the team would be:

----------Casillas-------------
------Pepe----Cannavaro--------
Ramos-------------------Heinze
---------Diarra------------------
---------------Sneijder-----------
-Alves--------------------Robben-
------------------Raul----------
--------v.Nistelrooy-------------

 

[KingPaulV]

Hey there fellas for those of you that could not watch the Real Madrid game, here is the entire second half in two parts in a Youtube video. I am still trying to find the first half for you guys but this should quench your thirst a little...

also Puerta is improving according to Del Nido

F that then! Robinho must play. Take off Raul and put Robinho behind Ruud...Now that's what I'm talking about!

If we got Alves I really doubt we would play him at RW and at the same time bench Robinho. If we got him than we would have 2 players per position and neither Torres or Marcelo would be sold. As far as I understand, Marcelo is waiting for Pepe to get his EU passport because right now we have 4 non-EU's so he has to wait for Pepe to get that cleared up. So if Alves came than it would be

GK: Casillas and Dudek
RB: Alves and Torres
CB: Ramos, Pepe, Canna, and Metz
LB: Henize and Marcelo
DM: Diarra and Gago
RW: Robinho and Higuain
LW: Robben and Drenthe
CM/AM: Sneijder and Guti
SS: Raul and Saviola
ST: Ruud and Soldado

Than we have extra players like Salgado, Baptista, and all who we could not sell in the off season so are stuck with and also we still have our cantera players. I agree Datboy, Ramos & Pepe>>>>>>Pepe & Canna. My only thing is that it would be too much to get Alves, it would be better to offer less money and give them some of ours ( like the beast for example ).

 

[justhammy]

I cant imagine Real Madrid without Robinho. It's just impossible! The guy adds too much to the team that it would be very stupid to bench him. Especially after his perfect Copa America display!

Btw, next week El Pipita will return?! I cant wait to see him on this team. He has big competition from Robinho though. But its always good to have such a big squad!

That looks f*cking great. But one thing though, Torres wont play for the whole season if we are going to use him as RB cover. Why?! Because if we get Alves then he would be first choice. If Alves gets injured, then I guess Ramos will go to the RB pos. Even in the worst case scenario when both Ramos AND Alves are injured (lol) I think Schuster will choose for that fool Salgado. So I guess thats it for Torres

 

[OrgulloVikingo]

Our squad is disgustingly deep. The only problem that may occur is restlessness and people b!tch!ng about not starting...which is somewhat expected, I just hope it doesn't unsettle the lockeroom. That's where a great coach comes in. It will be another test for Schuster.
