Real Madrid C.F. 2011/12 - Campeones de España!

Supposedly they will only go for a forward in the case that Higuain leaves.

Seems spot on to me except for loaning Sahin which seems completely unnecessary given his potential and his accomplishments in die Bundesliga. I keep hoping that Kaka will come good and want to keep him around because of that but I know it's completely irrational.

I think a new right back is definitely necessary but I don't know who out there is really suitable. Perhaps Micah Richards has what it takes but being at City, it's impossible. I wouldn't mind doing an epic Bilbao raid and signing Javi Martinez, Muniain, Iraola, and Llorente but clearly this is a pipedream. It would suit all of our needs though. I don't know who would fit at CB. I've heard great things about Sakho but I've never actually seen him play...

I don't know if we really need to sign another CB. I know Jose in theory wants 2 players for each position but if we have Sergio Ramos, Pepe, and Varane plus if the Javi Martinez signing comes through he has proven that he can play there very comfortably.

sounds like he wants to build and even more amazing squad than he has already

Our squad is pretty sh!t to be honest.

Also, as for right back I still really like Azpilicueta. I think he has come back from his bad injury last year and had a really good season in Marseille. He has picked up CL experience as well. And I think we can get him without having to pay an astronomical fee.

This would do me just fine:

Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas, ?????, Tomás Mejías

Defenders: Álvaro Arbeloa, César Azpilicueta, Fábio Coentrão, Marcelo, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Raphaël Varane

Midfielders: Xabi Alonso, Esteban Granero, Sami Khedira, Javi Martínez, Mesut Özil, Borja Valero

Forwards: Karim Benzema, José María Callejón, Ángel Di María, Gonzalo Higuaín, Ronaldo

You've built a squad where everybody bar Granero and Callejon would expect to be starters. That's clearly impractical.

And Borja is just not a Mourinho type player - doesn't have power and defensive presence.

Borja is off to malaga i am sure, I hope they spend smartly this summer and really push on

Come on kas. Do you think Varane is going to expect to be a starter? Do you think Khedira is going to piss and moan if he is rotated? Coentrao and Marcelo have coexisted quite nicely this season. Arbeloa is not the type that is going to throw a tantrum is he does not start every game and I don't think Azpilicueta would come in demanding to be first choice as he is still quite young.

The only potential poblem is Benzema and Higuain but they have coexisted for two seasons. In the first season Higuain was clearly first choice and Benzema was not being picked for the big games. This season Benzema has moved ahead of Higuain.

Borja Valero ok is maybe my own personal wish not so much what Jose would do we need to replace Kaka and I think he will be available.

And to think you've spent nearly as much as we have in transfers and more than us in wages. TFS!

felicitaciones Madridistas

By the way, this is Kyle Walker's tweet after the Spurs game yesterday:

Kyle Walker ‏ @kyle28walker: Big win again for the boys great support from the fans as normal roll on the weekend and congrats to real madrid on there title win #COYS

Someone seems to be pining for a move in Roberto Carlos' footsteps after his free kick the other day

Wages yes but we haven't spent nearly as much on transfers.

I don't know why people were so anti-Walker earlier. I think he should stay at Spurs but he is no worse defensively than Marcelo. Good player.

If you add up all of the Keirrisons and Chgryrgrygrrinkrgyrgirsygrkskyis, you actually have. Truth!
