Real Madrid Thread [2008 - 2009]

Villa is better than all of those players, except maybe Ronaldo who isn't a pure striker anyways. Villa - Higuain - Ronaldo - Kaka should be a lethal attack, though it remains to be seen how well they'll play together. And the three best offensive players in the world are still in Barcelona.

If you say so.

 

[Dytza]

If you say so.

But isn't him the one who says it. Statistic, names and seasonal team and personal performances d.o it

 

[Socrates]

What's Pellegrini system?

Usually 4-2-2-2

One DM, one CM, 2 free roaming AM that can go out wide or cut in, one SS, and one ST. Usually plays a fast paced one touch football, his Villarreal team played some really nice stuff at times.

Sevillista - Sure he is better than Raul and Hunter but I perfer Higuain over him TBH, the guy made incredible progress last season and will continoue to be a beast. I also perfer Ronaldo over Villa but I think we should focus our efforts on other positions, the attack IMO is good as it is right now with Kaka and Ronaldo once he sings. Also the price Valencia want is a bit much for my liking. Another reason is that I don't ant Higuain to be on the bench and if Villa comes and Higuain is benched than I will be pissed. As long as all 4 play than I will be happy with it.

 

[Sevillista]

If you say so.

I do. Messi, Xavi, Iniesta.

 

[Coruja]

Too many stars isn't synonim of championships in my way of seeing things. You have players, good enough to win everything. So why bother in buying more superstars? To they starting "fighting" each other to be the best in Madrid?

I think Madrid have proven that transfer fees are irrelevant.

While I think that Villa is a better striker than Higuain, the latter has proven that he is passionate about the team and that is rare in Madrid and should be held on to. If there's room for both players, I think you would be crazy not to want Villa. For my money, he is one of the best pure strikers in the world, if not the best, which I think he demonstrated in Euro2008. With Kaka and Ronaldo behind him, and Pellegrini's system, he will probably be pichichi.

While that may be true, I still think it's too much for Villa and a positions that I think we already have covered but yes him, Higuain, Kaka, and Ronaldo sounds like a tasty partnership.

[Arnau]

He has also said that it's going to be hard to sell some players, like Wesley and maybe Hunter. That's a weird formation by the way.

Hopefully we can get a RB, LB, and CM in than the squad will look good. I don't think we really need Silva or Ribery anymore.

I tought something like an 4-3-3 system:


-----------------Iker------------------------
---------Pepe----------Garay---------------
Ramos-------------------------------(???*)-
---------------Lassana----------------------
---------Kaka'----------Diarra---------------
--------------------------------------------
Higuain------------------------------Ronaldo
----------------Raul------------------------


* - strong in defence and efficient in attack.

 

[ARIAGA II]

I'm gonna love 2009/2010's El clàssic, so many stars!

If it was up to me it would be like this, taking into consideration the players we have been linked with.

---------------Iker----------------
Maicon---Ramos---Pepe---Marcano/Cashely/Clichy (hell any decent L
---------Lass---Xabi Alonso-------
----Kaka---------------Ronaldo----
----------Higuain---Villa-----------

And with Ibrahimovic and Ribery (rumour) going to Barcelona.

Looking to watch all classicos!

Sorry for the off-topic.

 

[cfdemarco]

I will be amazed if you guys wind up with Villa...in light of this week's spending I don't think you guys will be willing to pay what Valencia is going to demand for Villa.

Also, talks of Ribery make no sense, you just bought the best two wingers in the world, what would the point of buying Ribery be?

Don't even dream about it or try it out in PES 2009,FM 09 or FIFA 09 .

I remember we were rumored to be intersted in him and that Arsenal would sell for around 18 million euros. Is he untouchable?

 

[ARIAGA II]

€18 million Euros!!! After all that Kaká and C.Ronaldo money (which magically appeared) you think anyone will accept that! Yes he is kind of untouchable at the moment, plus Arsene Wenger is going to see himself as the saviour of football at a time like this, so he is not going to simply bend over to be poked in the hole.
