The Real Madrid Thread [2005 - 2006]

[justhammy]

If we sign Gago my i would be happy for the rest of the year! Such a player should NOT go to Chelsea! He has the technique and vision of a real Madrid player!!! GET HIM!!!

 

[jani]

looks like fun

hope Ronaldo gets his form back. one of my favorite players to watch.


btw, since you guys were linked with Diego Lugano, can you tell me more about him? Looks like Milan are being linked as well.

 

[Nuno]

From what I heard, Lugano didn't look to good for Uruguay in the games against Australia.

From what I heard, Lugano didn't look to good for Uruguay in the games against Australia.

He really didnt, maybe because of the jetlag ( if i am correct he only played the second leg in Australia ) but he make lots of fouls and didnt win too many of the balls clearly. He didnt impress me.

Thank God that Iker is resigned.

Iker resigned? :amika:


Anyway...

Real In Meeting With Keane Agent

Spanish daily Marca are reporting that Roy Keane’s agent has met with officials of Real Madrid.
The Irishman is a free agent after being released by Manchester United nearly two weeks ago and has been the subject of interest from several clubs.

Keane’s name first came up in a meeting between some of the Real hierarchy a few days ago and a sit-down with agent Michael Kennedy has apparently taken place.

The player is said to want something more than a six-month contract that the Merengues are willing to offer, although the prestige of the club may sway the 34-year-old towards the Bernabeu.

Real midfielder David Beckham has also spoken out in praise of his former Manchester United team-mate this week.

That would be funny as hell

We'd better not get another DM...

BTW Zidane also has a contracture and is doubful for saturday, along with Pavón... When this injury curse will end?

 

[Seven8]

Keane & Becks in the same team again - that would be awesome

He's not the quickest anymore but the less physical la Liga style would definetly suit him, aswell as the sun - come on Roy

Any news on when Woodgate is back ?

We will only get another DM if Gravesen leaves.
**** the injuries.

I also heard about the Keane rumor over our last match, hehe doubt that will happen, i didnt take too much notice to it.

 

[faceNside]

Luxa used this lineup in the last training (note both Zidane and Pavon are injured)

--------------Iker-----------
--Diogo--Mejia-Helguera-RC--
-------------Pablo----------
-----Becks---------Guti-----
-----------Baptista----------
-------Robinho--Ronnie------

No 2 DM

That looks so much better than anything Luxa has been using recently

Where is Salgado though??

 

[justhammy]

Diogo should play i think, and damn that line-up looks great!! (if Zidane plays even better, though Guti is great too)

Robinho Ronaldo and Baptista!!!!

why does he keep using robinho as a Striker????
he should switch places with Baptista...
he is a better striker, and Robinho is a better 10...
If i was Luxa i would use this...

-----------Iker----------------
-Diogo--Mejia--Helguera--RC--
------------Pablo-------------
--Becks-----Guti-------Robinho
-------Baptista-----Ronaldo----

Put Salgado in for Diogo and switch Guti with Robinho. That would look better. Diogo leaves too much space on the right and that wont be too good for us.

Play this
----------Pablo----------------
Becks---------------Guti-------
---------Robinho---------------
Baptista-------------Ronaldo---

 

[faceNside]

Neither Robinho nor Baptista are pure strikers, but experts in coming from a second line. I think in the match they'll switch postions every time...

But this time Robinho wont be alone, and will have 2 brazilian fellas, who are not bad at all, to help him

Well personally i want Baptista up there beside Ronaldo because he can head the ball better than Ronaldo and Robinho so he can take Becks crosses very nicely. I agree we could be seeing both switch positions often in the game.

No 2 DM's and Robinho is not upfront alone...things are looking better already that is if Luxa dosnt go ape**** and change everything on matchday.

 

[mega montana]

I'm so glad about Casillas new contract! And Helguera could be the next who extends his contract this afternoon, only a 2 or 3 years extension of course I'm glad the board is counting with the real madridistas at the end.

BTW I would bet my eggs Ronnie is playing this saturday

pics like this remind me of how sad i will be when roberto carlos leaves, always a smile on his face...except recently

good news about iker, shit news about helguera, dude's done

 

[R.9]

Play this
----------Pablo----------------

---------Robinho---------------
Baptista-------------Ronaldo---

I think that the best way to play for the next match.

The squad for Real Madrid-Getafe

Casillas and Diego López
Salgado, Diogo, Helguera, Mejía, Pavón, Raúl Bravo and Roberto Carlos
Gravesen, Pablo García, Beckham, Baptista, Zidane, Guti, and Tébar
Ronaldo and Robinho

ONLY 2 players left on our injury list now (Raúl and Woodgate).
things are looking better and better!

the Bad news is that Raúl is going to need a operation. which means that he could miss the WC2006.
Perez will look for a new striker in January. Cassano? Toni?

 

[faceNside]

Luckily that's not sure. He's receiving a low agressive treatment in order to avoid the surgery.

BTW now that Zidane seems fit, imagine who is gonna suck bench.

 

[Seven8]

what about Kuyt...

When will Woodgate be back ?
