The Real Madrid Thread [2006 - 2007]

[Socrates]

Like I said I would keep Capello only because we don't have any other good option's ( reading recent comments by Schuster I don't really want him ) and also the squad has trust in Capello so I would keep him but limit his transfer activity. I am sure he won't be here too long so I don't want a bunch of Capello transfers and also him selling players that I think we should keep.

Let's see how many players we get linked to this summer, it's going to be a long summer.

I also want to say a special thanks to Carlos, Beckham, Helguera, and Salgado. All of them came up when needed ( even if Salgado was **** for most the time ) and I am happy that all of them got one more title before their time at Madrid was over. Carlos and Beckham are already gone and the other 2 are sure to be gone aswell.

 

[Jaouadinho]

also pavon and minambres.

i thought salgado did well on sunday i remeber when he went up the pitch and took it past 3 or four players that was his best game thins season probably because he knows he is oing to leave and that was his last match.

getting shuster would be a big mistake he playes worste football then capello getafe have conceded the least goals in la liga and i think scored the fewest as well.

we should keep capello next season atleast, bring back soldado and we need a right winger to replace beks, and maybe anothe defender if helguera leaves because we have already got metzelder.

 

[Nuno]

I'm so proud of our team. Capello must stay. I don't want to start from scratch all over again. Calderon better not do nothing stupid.

BTW thanks for the wallpaper datboy!

 

[Becks is God]

Thank you Roberto :Bow: it'll be wierd seeing him play in another teams colours.

 

[justhammy]

Thank you Roberto! LEGEND!

BTW, Metzelder is coming. 1 July he will be here. (old news i guess) Also Calderon said that he almost has the yes-word of 3 other players (hope he isnt talking BS) Who would those players be?! Robben? Zapater? Alves? We will know more in the coming weeks.

EDIT: Once again we are on the edge to sack a succesfull coach. AS has published something today that gets on my nerve (even if its not sure). Portugal, the Santander coach (I think) has stepped up. He will follow Mijatovich up. And the chance is big that Schuster will take over then.

You can say what you want, but sacking Capello would be so stupid, that its even nor funny anymore. Mijatovich did a good job this year too. Why get rid of a succesfull duo?! Pretty weird this! I wont believe it till its 100% sure, but it would be absolutely nonsense!

The Champions played a friendly in Israel tonight against a Tel Aviv All-Star team. final score was 8-0.

Goals - Guti (4) Raúl (1) Negredo (3)

I think letting Capello go is not a dumb move after all. I mean the players he lead to the tittle are partially gone. He hasn't been very player 'frendly' either. I mean the first part of the season all of you called for his head. Capello knows that and he also is eager to bounce back to a new platform. Having said that Calderon should consider major labor shift in the defense. Carlos is gone, Salgado just doesn't have it. Yeah Metzelder and Cananvarro are a decent duo and Ramos is ok too but that defense need depth and at least another good winger. The midfield needs a Beckham like presence and a playmaker would really help feed Ruud better. Emerson time is up.

Well it was not a great year, it was a great finish to a year but not a great year at all. As I have said before even in our last 12 games we struggled a lot, his starting eleven never really worked ( Emerson-Diarra can't create, Reyes and Higuain should have played more mins, he also ****ed Marcelo over ), and his tactics were not even right. Remember it was not until our players more or less said **** the tactic lets get some goals in which we started to play a higher d-line and put more players forward. Not only that but most of all Capello was never meant to be some long term project, he was here to win a title ( and he did so great job to him ) but that's it. The only problem really ( for me at least ) is that there is no good replacement, no thanks to Schuster.

Also looks like Baldini will go back to Italy and Portugal ( Racing manager ) will work alongside Mijatovic. Not really happy about Baldini leaving as he did very well for us in making our transfer's happen ( we got the players for a fair price imo ).

I found nothing anywhere on the net, and thought maybe someone here knew about it, what was the idea behind the Real Madrid - Peace Team match, exactly? It's a nice concept and all, and I enjoyed watching it, but I just thought that a charity event, or promotional thing like that would get more attention.

 

[Sevillista]

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Real Madrid Castilla's relegation.

 

[MaestroZidane]

maybe because most people treat them as a different team overall. I did hear when it happen though.

An off topic post - I just order my campeones 30 shirt, a bit pricey but hey, a team can only win their 30th title once. Hala madrid!!

I believe how it happend was that we were invited to play the peace match in Isreal and we agreed to do so, realmadrid.com has been talking for the last 2 weeks now.

And yea Castilla did get relegated which sucks but people are too busy talking about the first team. I know that sounds bad but it seems like the youth teams are going to keep being neglected. Well looks like some players will either get promoted to the first team ( not very likely ) or loaned out ( very likely ).

I agree with you about the fact that we didnt play great this year. Ofcourse thats true, but its just not good to sack a winning coach. Look at Del Bosque, he went away and 3 years there was nothing. And like you said, there is no good replacement. Capello is a coach with reputation, Schuster isnt like him. Im not a fan of Capello, not at all, but he won La Liga and therefore he did his job. Also, sacking him would mean paying him his contract. And if you believe the rumours about that then its a f*cking HUGE amount of money Calderon should pay.

Really, if there were other good coaches to replace him, I wouldnt mind. There just arent (or not yet)

It's being reproted that we are trying to pip Juve and buy Milito before they can. We have an agreed price with Zaragoza ( 18 million euros ) and are now working with the player to finalize the deal. And to think we could have got him for a really cheap price but he had a "knee problem" so Woody was the replacement.

we have plenty of players in that position i would pefer us to buy someone who is young and cheaper, or promote someone from castilla.

Alexis would of been perfect but mijatovic ****ed up and valencia got him.

Alexis wasnt cheap either I think. And I dont see much difference between Milito and Alexis, both great defenders. Alexis is younger but thats it.

Actually if I remember right Alexis had a pricetag of 8 million euros. I also think Alexis would be better because he can play more than just CB ( LB, RB, and DM ) and he is younger but he is gone now so it won't matter to talk about it.

AS is reporting that we are interested on getting Drenthe the kid from holland under 21 I saw him playing and he is just the new Davids the guy can dribble,run and score from free kicks with both legs I hope is true that we want him!!!

and there is a problem now with madrid they are debating to see if the bring back soldado or buy saviola! I WANT SOLDADO BACK!!!

I think that we just need to bring back Soldado get Drenthe and try to buy Kaka and Abidal! :mexican:

Madrid is trying to get Gabi milito and take Cannavaro back to Juve

Ok first on Drenthe. Dont jump in the air already man. He is a good player, but he has alot to learn and is NOWHERE as good as Robinho (who plays on the left). Drenthe can play as LB, but then i'd prefer Marcelo or like every newspaper says Heinze. Drenthe wasnt very good this year at Feyenoord (still one of their best players because Feyenoord was VERY poor this year), so leave him there for a few years then we'll talk. But I cant deny that he has the potential to be the new davids.
Lets hope we bring Soldado back, he has had a fantastic year at Osasuna! Great player.
