Real Madrid C.F. 2007/08

We did record 100M euro profits last season

Ha! Real is becomming the Dutch club then. Hala Madrid, f@ck Barca


Allthough...its insulting that they have to deal with a German coach. But knowing Real this will be solved in 3 months

Make that two, we'll get Van Basten in, him and Ruud will really kick it off (in a good way)

A Diamond midfield is different from a Rhombus one actually
Diamond is usually

---------RW/AMC------MC/AMC/SS--------------LW/AMC


Rhombus

-----AMC/RW/SS--------AMC/RW/SS

So which is he going to use.

Hopefully the Rhombus (i.e. el cuadrado magico)

That's the same as the magic square of Luxemburgo

I hope he picks the one that has the RW also playing on the left

just imagine:

-------------------Dudek---------------
-Ramos---Pepe------Cannamalo--Torres
-----------------Diarra-------------------
---------Gago--------------------------
-Cicinho--------------------Robinho---
---------Raúl------------RVN-------------

the sqaure tactic is not as bad as portrayed. dont get me wrong luxa got wrong but it can used well. you just need the right blend in the centre to make it work. anyway i think shuster is going to play with a diamond. allthough the way he describes its more like a 4-1-3-2.

Luxemburgo got it wrong because with the 'magic square' the fullbacks provide the width. Should you have players like Cicinho and R. Carlos who have no sense of positioning you'll get done on the counter by the wide players every time.

Who should real sign VDV Or Midget?

VDV, because he is more talented, taller, and plays for our arch rival, so it really would hurt them losing their most important player.

Sneijder's only real advantage over VDV: less injury prone.


But if I were Schuster, and actually wanted to win something (like he does, the good German he is), I wouldn't overdo it with Dutchies in the squad. They always cause bad blood. Add another Dutchie so RVN doesn't feel so loneley, but that should be it!

also you need real Dms unlike gravesen. a mascherano would be perfect along with a gago for example. and the full backs can provide the width but they have to be more balanced since that tactic leads to trying to play through the middle which isnt possible without players that are gifted in terms of technique and passing.

TM wrote:Real Madrid have signed Boca Juniors pair Santiago Villafane and Juan Forlin.

Both players are 19 years old and saw action for Argentina in this month's U20 World Championships. Villafane is a left-sided wing-back, while Forlin plays at centre-half.

The pair, who will soon receive their Italian passports, will spend the next two seasons on-loan at Real's Castilla team, with the Madrid giants having the option to make the deal permanent.

yup thats right.

is that the same redblood who said he wanted out last year?

Oh that idiot is back. I thoought he had finally got himself a girl but looks like he hasn't or he couldn't to be more accurate.

More importantly.

Dudek, what the? Huh? What? Huh? ( Jodi Codina is all i have to say, experience some people say )

Though i don't know what the hell is going on i'm just happy for once that Calderon has got his mouth shut for a while , looks as though they are trying to do things behind the scenes for once even though AS and Marca are doing everything to tell us every step and situation of the signings. Better that than saying "we are trying to sign cesc"

and we seem to be close to signings reyes and robben as well

True. I had the feeling that in the last few weeks SOMETHING was missing in the club. Now that you mention it I realize that it's been a while since Calderon said something stupid. I guess we've gotten so used to him saying stupid things that it's like rain in Manchester or something.

Laporta is now giving him some competition though with stupid comments like "Madrid are inflating the market" and "It's Saviola's fault we didn't win titles while he was here."

Please sign reyes

So paying 30 million for an unproven 24 year old defender is not inflating the market?

We paid more for Ramos when he was 19, and we didn't hear anything from Laporta. It's just that now that Barcelona lost the 7 titles they were supposed to win last season, he's trying to divert attention by crying about everything Real Madrid does.

Not when Madriz do it

Wow. I am shocked about an article I just read by El Loco Gatti. Even though he's been one of the number 1 Raul supporters for the last 3 years no matter how Cr@p he's played, he's saying that Schuster should ask Raul to get out of Madrid


"Ha llegado la hora de la salida de futbolistas. Es algo cíclico en el mundo del fútbol. Siempre sucede antes de que se inicie la temporada. Y el Madrid este año debe intentar desprenderse de muchos jugadores, y varios de ellos muy importantes. El caso de Baptista es singular. Ha sido fundamental en la victoria de la Copa América con Brasil, pero creo que en la final contra Argentina hizo el mejor partido que le vi jugar. Aun así, pienso que no es futbolista para el Madrid. Distintos son los casos de Helguera y Salgado. Ambos han acabado su ciclo en el club blanco. Su rendimiento ha sido muy alto durante los años que estuvieron aquí, pero en el mundo de fútbol, como todo en la vida, a uno se le acaba el tiempo. Mejía es distinto. Me parece un gran jugador, aunque nunca ha estado respaldado por los técnicos. ¿Y Cassano? Siempre he defendido y defenderé al italiano. Es el jugador más talentoso de la plantilla. Y si fuese Schuster le pediría a Calderón que se quedase.

Sin embargo, el que debería abandonar el Madrid no lo hace, de momento. Ha sido un futbolista que ha hecho muchas cosas por este club. Siempre ha dado la cara. Pero tiene su camino y pienso que el suyo se ha terminado en el conjunto blanco. Siento escribir estas palabras, pero es lo que pienso. Raúl ya no está para el Madrid y, además, está cerrándoles las puertas a los jóvenes valores que aprietan, y mucho. Espero que todo se solucione bien y Schuster acierte con las salidas. La primera, la de Raúl."

Funnily enough, he also says that Cassano is our most talented player and that he should stay in the club

What scares me is that I actually agree with him. For once, I've agreed with everything he wrote in an article, though what he wrote was hardly rocket science.

This is the same idiot who said he would shoot himself in the centre circle of the Cuernabeu if Madriz didn't win the league 2 seasons ago.

That doesn't even compare to you guys inflating the market for Cr@p strikers by paying all that money for Gudjonssen. You even tried to fool people into believing he's better than Saviola

Based on their play and commitment, I would certainly say Gudjohnsen is better than Saviola

And the money we paid wasn't excessive, it was exactly his asking price from Chelsea's end.

He was 12 million euros, hows that inflating the market?

He's worth no more than 5 million when you consider how Cr@p he is. You've opened the door for strikers like Heskey and Vagner Love to be sold for relatively astronomical prices.
