The Real Madrid Thread [2005 - 2006]

[R.9]

I really hope Real Madrid can sign Robinho fast to see him in Madrid jersey.

 

[Parker]

He was decent.
Robinho had some nice moments but our defense neutralized him for most of the match. He was the first to be substituted.

That's what I'm afraid of - when he will be play in Europe defenders better then brazilian will easily neutralize him.

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

fantastic news about how bad Robinho wants to play in Madrid the #8 shirt is waiting for him

...is the #8 jersey a fact? the number is an important part of a player, simple the saying a # is enough to remember a popular player

...9, Ronaldo
...10, Pele Maradona




...8, Robinho

 

[RoyIsALegend]

5 - Zidane

 

[RoyIsALegend]

(nobody answered my question can Ballack play as RW/RM? )

Ballack definitely cannot play on the wing like a RW does, but he can definitely play as a RCM, but this spot is occupied by Beckham anyhow.

i'm just guessing, because...

# / Player
1. Casillas
2. Salgado
3. R. Carlos
4. ? (Borja could be loaned)
5. Zidane
6. Helguera
7. Raul
8. ?
9. Ronaldo
10. ? (Figo will he leave? will he stay?)
11. Owen
12 or 13. Diego Lopez (GK)
14. Guti
15. R. Bravo
16. Gravesen
17. ? (Portillo could be loaned too)
18. Woodgate
19. Samuel
20. ?
21. Solari
22. Pavon
23. Beckham
24. Mejía
25. ? (Third GK?)

in La Liga, the players can't wear a number higher than 25.

and even if Figo leaves, NO WAY Robinho would wear #10. He has to earn it first

5 - Zidane

yeah, but he chose that number because it was the only one available between the 1 and 11 (Sanchis, who used to wear that shirt, retired one season before Zizou came to R. Madrid)

Ballack definitely cannot play on the wing like a RW does, but he can definitely play as a RCM, but this spot is occupied by Beckham anyhow.

thx so, he could replace Beckham in that position, if the english is suspended or injured

 

[Crusad3r]

Number 10 for Ballack!

 

[Raikkonen]

Number 10 for Ballack!

seriously? i thought spanish people wouldn't want Ballack

4 -> Ramos?
8 -> Robinho?
10 -> Ballack?
20 -> P. García?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

No, Ballack can't play on the wing, or even as a RCM, he is strictly in the middle. Why even buy him to play out of position or back up Beckham? He should be playing right smack dab in the center of the midfield every day. Back far enough to play defense (because his D is pretty good), but up far enough so he can get involved on offense and most importantly get his head at crosses. He's a tank, he can (and should) play every single game.

Ballack won't wear your ****ty #10, he wears #13. Please don't buy my favorite player from my favorite club and my second favorite national team fellas. I don't want to buy a Madrid jersey

EDIT: Oh yeah, and he'll immediately shoot up to second most attractive member of the Real Madrid team. What a handsome man.

as.com is again talking about getting rid of Samuel and Owen !

If Ballack comes, he'll wear 13. What if Owen wanted the # 10

 

[oussimoes]

So the robinho deal is done thats great. By the way brazilian player that have RO in the name are always great like ROnaldo,Robinho,ROnaldinho an ROberto carlos and ROmario so i hope he will be the next player to come in this line.

this is my line up for next year:

--------------Casillas------------- the subs: Guti,solari,portillo,raul,helguera
---------Woodgate--Samuel-------- lopez, Ramos and bravo
--Salgado-----------------Carlos--
--------------Gravesen-----------
----Beckham-------------Zidane--
----------------------------------
----Owen----Ronaldo----Robinho
If we done this it will be great and we must be champions next year.

 

[Seven8]

this is a line up for next year which I'd like.
(if Ramos & Robinho comes, Woodgate is fit and Figo stays)

--------------Casillas--------------
-Ramos-Woodgate-Helguera-Carlos-
--------------Gravesen------------
--Beckham----Zidane--Robinho/Figo-
---------Owen-----Ronaldo---------

subs: Salgado, Samuel, Guti, Solari, Raul & Figo/Robinho

PETITION give Becks #7,17 or 10

 

[oussimoes]

My line up is much better and by the way nobody gives garcia and sub place or a line up place! is he so ugly?

 

[datboy]

My line up is much better and by the way nobody gives garcia and sub place or a line up place! is he so ugly?

because Gravesen is better.

some news:

MILAN REJECT PIRLO/GUTI SWAP

UNITED LEAD OWEN RACE

and did anyone see R6 goal against Argentina?? what a canon!!

 

[Seven8]

Gravesen is indeed a very underrated player (appart from Everton and now Real Madrid) where we know him now.

Saw Roberto Carlos goal = rocket

 

[Drvar]

Roberto Carlos's goal was ******* amazing. You just cant save a shot like that .

 

[Raikkonen]

why the **** would Real Madrid sell Owen, Samuel and Solari??

for the first time in, i don't know, 4 years?, we were between the top3 teams with less goals allowed... and now they want to replace Samuel with Ramos. if we sell Samuel, and Ramos ends up being a big flop (like Mejia), i wouldn't know what do to: to cry, to laugh or both. what really piss me off is that all the newspapers are asuming that Woodgate will be 100% fit for next season. come on! the man hasn't play a professional match since march 2004. i don't care if Samuel receives a yellow in every game, i prefer him over Woodgate or Pavon (let's not talk about Mejia and Bravo, PLEASE). besides, if we're after Ramos because we need a backup, it would be stupid to sell a starter! we would need another backup (Woodgate won't last two months healthy)!

about Owen, 16m euros???? this MUST be a joke. the "midget" has been amazing this season, he scored more goals than Raul and Zidane together, playing half of the time, giving us crucial wins (Albacete, Valencia, Dynamo...), and if Floren wants to make a "clean" Owen-Reyes swap, he must be on drugs. imo, Owen = Reyes + at least 5-10m. Jose can stay crying in London

Solari... eh, this deal wouldn't be bad, Guti would have more chances, we would get cash and maybe (i wish) an option over Adriano. but if they want to replace him with Baptista... :nope. Baptista is so overrated, and he would come only because he loves money. Solari has said a hundred times he loves Real Madrid, and he has showed an incredible commitment with the team.

final words: Milan wants a Guti-Pirlo swap??? muahaha, i can write better BS than that.

PS. Portillo to Zaragoza on loan, almost confirmed. Villa would move to Valencia because Kluivert didn't pass the medical test

 

[RUSI]

I agree 100%, man

I really hope what the papers are writing is not what the club really thiks because it is f*cking stupid.


I have no idea why we would want to sell Samuel and Owen !!!
