Rom2013

Cristiano is the best player in the world, and Real MAdrid the best team. No doubt about that... if someone thought Barcelona would win this game they need to watch La Liga a lot more. Barcelona is playing like shit against Madrid since the last season of Mourinho in Madrid. In that season in 4 matches Barcelona didn't win one single game, and the last two played were a 1-3 in the Camp Nou for the Cup, and a 2-1 for La Liga with Madrid playing with the secundary team. The last 2 great games of Barcelona against Madrid were the first leg of the cup (last year of Mourinho) with a tie 2-2, and the game of the title for Madrid in Camp Nou 1-2- In the next season with Ancelotti all the games were balanced. And this season REal Madrid is a lot better than Barcelona.The great Barcelona is over, and the great Messi also.

Cristiano will be a CF in the next years. Cristiano played in 2 F system for many time, and played with Mourinho has a CF against Barcelona with results. THe thing is... he plays better as a winger because he has more space... But he can perfectly play as a ST, and will do it for sure when he looses the pace he has. Cristiano in the ST position would be today also the best ST in the world. About this question... Hazard, Courtois and COsta would play in Madrid (Hazard not in the wing because Cristiano and Bale are better), Ivanovic can play mainly because the RB of Madrid are not world classe... all the rest would have a lot of problems to be in the stariting eleven. Madrid has a super team.

Yes. Pogba wouldn't be a starter for us... And Cristiano also wouldn't play for us with the way Schurrle is playing. And Ake is the new Redondo. By the way the midfield of Real Madrid: KhediraToni KroosJames ROdriguezLuka ModricIscoIllarramendi (only 3 of them play in the stating eleven every weekend) There they play FIFA a lot. And win European cups also a lot. THe options in the midfield of Barcelona some years ago when they won everything: XaviIniestaBusquetsCescAlcantaraEDIT: (They also had Mascherano and Song if they needed). And people here want us to win every game with an increadible football having Oscar, Ramires, Fabregas and Matic.

Pogba will be a started in most of the games, even if the games are distributed perfectly between Cesc, Matic, Pogba and Oscar they would start each one of them more than 40 games . And in reality if we had this players, FAbregas and Pogba would play more than the other 2, because they are better. If we had them we would rotate a lot more than we do now. Today Fabregas play against Man United, Maribor, WBA... almost every game. Matic the same. With 4 great midfielders we can rest them, we can have world class options to play a more defensive game, and world class options to do a more offensive game. That's the next step for any team that want to dominate Europe and England. And that's what Bayern, Madrid, PSG, City and Barcelona were doing in the last years.

I think the best option would be Ramires. A lot of people in Madrid say that Real Madrid want him and he is reaching the right age to be sold.Pogba can do all Ramires does, but even better. We would have 3 great players for the DM and CM (Pogba, Matic, Fabregas) and 2 for the number 10 (Fabregas, Oscar). 4 really good or world class players for 3 positions it's something completely manageable. In one game we play Pogba, Fabregas, Oscar. In another Matic, Pogba, Fabregas. In another Matic, Pogba, Oscar. And we would have no problems in midfield. In my opinion the next step for this team is buying a CB. Then, improve the 4th choice in the midfield and AM's. In that moment we will dominate the league and fight with Madrid , Barça or Bayern. Just buy a player at the level of Matic, Fabregas, Oscar and another one at the level of Hazard, Oscar and Willian and we are an incredible team. Maybe it's not Pogba or Neymar/Reus/Bale... maybe we will get others... but Pogba looks like Yaya (the perfect midfielder). And this is not something new, right now we have Luis, Azpi and Ivanovic and all of them will play more than 40 games. Maybe for a position like the striker it's more difficult to have Cavani and Costa since we play just with one... but in the midfield, wingers and defenders we can do it because this players are so versatile.

Anyone... Mourinho didn't put Solanke at the Bridge with 1-0 against a team like Maribor, do you think Solanke has any option of playing in OT in the starting eleven? COsta, if that's not posible Remy. If none of them is an option put Drogba, Schurrle or Fabregas, or other AM. A 17 year old can't do his first game in the PL in a game like this when we are fighting for the title. THey will play mostly in the Bridge in games for cups, or games already won. We have a title to win.

You really think we are going to Old Trafford with a 17 year old ST?

THe game against Arsenal was in the Bridge and they had half the team injured... and by the way we didn't play that well, we wre better but... This one will be a problem, Maybe we will win but after the game against Man City this is 2nd most difficult game we had this season. We can be confident, it's normal since we are better... but we are going to play in Odl Trafford and they have a really good team.

They are really bad. Rotate more the team in the next game against them. This weekend we have the GAME.

That's a penalty.

I would rotate almost all the team for this one. This group is a joke and for me right now the priority is the PLeague, Give playing time to the players that usualy don't play... they can do it. Unfortunetly Mourinho won't do it... but I would. At least rest Hazard, Cesc and Matic.

Yes... Romario is better than Pelé. And Eusebio better than Cristiano... And Batistuta and Sanchez are in that list. OK. And someone thought that was a great list, because you put Cristiano in 12th postiion...

Amazing... just amazing!!!

And for you that's football... OK.

You have no idea about football. Brazilian Ronaldo was not great when he had 100Kg, the same way ROnaldinho was not great when he played for ACMilan... both could't do nothing in Milan (and even before that) with less than 30 years because they were horrible professionals. That's the truth.About the others... you are joking for sure.

Oh my god... I saw all of that players and many more (and almost everyone here saw them too). The only one with quality comparable to Cristiano and Messi is Ronaldo, and unfortunately he had a lot of problems with injuries.. Yesterday someone in the Real Madrid forum was saying that the only person that misses Rnaldo in Madrid is the owner of Macdonalds. Obviously he was a great player but could do it at that level in Barcelona and a little bit in Inter. Ronaldo never was the same after his injury... ROnaldo was great 2 or 3 seasons. All the others you must be joking for sure (with all the respect for ZIdane that was incredible also... but... )

It's easear to start questioning if Messi last year deserved to be in the starting eleven of Barcelona after thar mediocre season. Yes Crsitiano will be between the 5 best players of the history of football. Pelé, Maradona, Di Stefano and after that will be between Messi and Ronaldo. FOr example Ronaldo is a lot better than Eusebio (I think he is the number 7 in history or something like that in the opinion of FIFA). ROnaldo in the end of this season will have the historical record of golden boots (he is not a ST), will be 3 times best player in the world, will be the best scorer in the history of CHampions League in one season, and maybe will beat Raul and Di Stefano as the best scorer in the history of the best club in the history of football in less 10 seasons than Raul. Cristiano is the only player in the history of Real Madrid with more than 1 goal scored per game. A club that had Di Stefano and Puskas in his team 60 years ago when Real Madrid was a lot better than every one. At than time they won 5 european cups in a row,

Ribery was not shit last season, he had problems with injuries but he is still clearly one of the best wingers in the game. And proved it in the last seasons and in the last also. Neymar right now is the second best scorer in La Liga with 7 goals without penaltys. He scored almost the same amount of goals per minute than Cristiano. Neymar scores a goal every 49 minutes. He already scored more goals in 6 incomplete games than most wingers in the world in all season. Neymar was the star of Brazil, Neymar scored tons of goals in Brazilian football at the age of 17. Neymar is in another world, He was already in another world last season but he had problems to play in the starting eleven. Hazard is another great winger that I don't understand how someone would rate him for sure below Reus. And there are others.

I liked him a lot as a player. Today he is not as good, but still he can be a great player for any club in the world. We don't need him right now, but he will give one or two good seasons for any team.

Do you know who is Ribery? Where the hell is Neymar in there? Neymar is playing better than Bale for example and there was no big difference between the 2 last season in terms of the quality of the game. Neymar was the star of Brazil in the world cup. Reus is really great but fr from beeing a a super star like Cristiano, Bale, Messi, Neymar, Robben and Ribery... and the next ones will be Hazard, Neymar...etc. Anyway he would be great for us.

I don't think he is top 5. Madrid has Bale and Cristiano, there are Messi also that plays in the wing sometimes right now, Neymar, Ribery and Robben, Hazard, Alexis, Di Maria and some others. But he is an incredible player and it would be great to have him, I agree with you... I think he would be a great buy, but we will have problems with Barcelona, Madrid, Bayern , Man CIty, Man United and PSG... A great winger can play in the right and in the left. Almost every world classs winger can play in both well.

LOL Ronado wouldn't start for Barcelona LOL.

ANd I'm one of the only people here that said Cesc, Costa and Luis were great buys for the club, and without a doubt they would do well here. Many others had a lot of doubts about the 3 when they were all of them world class players a lot cheaper than the majority of the players in the market. And that's not a great achievement since they played for great teams amazingly. I'm more glad that the club didn't care about the opinion of fans that don't know nothing about football... Like when we sold David Luiz, Mata, De Bruyne and Lukaku. And now everyone can see how good they were... Here fans thought they were stars LOL.

Wilshere is a really good player. I would have him here also. About Sterling he is 19, with great performances for a big club beeing younger than many of our kid that you are asking for but they far this level, english, etc. We don't need anymore to buy 6 players every season so we can spend in 1 or 2 players. FOr me this is a good buy, I would do it for this money.

It depends if in the future he gets near the value of Hazard he will be. 15 years ago the best player in the world had the value of 40M£ (Figo). 6 years ago the best player in the world cost 90M£ (Cristiano). 2 years ago the price of Messi would have been nearly 200M£, and with the prices we have today Hazard will cost a lot more than Ronaldo cost to Real Madrid (and Hazard is a lot worst than Ronaldo). A top 20 player in the world in 5 years can cost 100M£ without a doubt if that's almost the value today of Suarez and Bale. Even if he can't reach that value... he will continue being a valuable player. He is really good, young, a star for England and more importantly an english player. If we need to have 8 or 9 English players it's really good if they can be great players. And sooner or later we will need a RW. If we have money for him and for a great CB for me this 2 can be our buys for the next season, I will be happy with it.
