Spike

Real Madrid have produced some interesting players in the last decade or so. Roberto Soldado Álvaro Arbeloa Juan Mata Álvaro Negredo Dani Parejo José Callejon Francisco Pavon Esteban Granero Javi García Borja Valero That's a solid team.

To an extent yes. Khedira Alonso Arbeloa Essien Marcelo Ramos Pepe Carvalho Are all very physical players. A lot of Merengues complain about José's stlye of football. Stating that it's too negative and it's detrimental to the image of the club.

I posted this in the Mourinho thread: I've been thinling about it lately...Would Mourinho returning be a good thing? He loves the physical and dominating tactics with players like Khedira, Makélelé, Essien, Mikel being important. Whereas CFC are seemingly trying to move away from that ethos and implementing a more technical and fleet footed style. Wouldn't it be counter productive to bring in a manager whose entire philosophy is at ends with the players that are being signed?

Don't forget that José has bee shifting Coentrao around the park a lot. He hasn't really been played in a consistent position since he joined. Leftback, Righback, Central Midfielder, Left Winger. I imagine it's hard to remain consistent when his role has been changed so often. He missed one training session. He missed it due to injury. They still expected him to show up, even though he is injured. José didn't think too highly of this. When it's all said and done you can't make too many valid excuses for not showing up to work. He has also missed a handfull of games due to a four suspension handed out for insulting a match offical. I have no idea why Real Madrid bought him. They never needed him when they already have Marcelo. I'd say that there on about the same level of abiltiy but José seems to prefer Marcelo to Coentrao. Any Benfica supporter will tell you that he was really important to their team when he was there, much like Cole has been for Chelsea. Real Madrid is turning into a bit of a toxic wasteland for players and staff. I'd only take Coentrao if Cole does end up leaving, which I think he will. Hell, he almost joined when AVB was in charge but was tempted by the "glorious" Real Madrid. And I think he mentioned something about having a hard time learning new languages like English, or some nonsense like that.

He isn't necessarily needed due to Marcelo. He struggled to get starts last (and this) season. He has been in poor form for a while. He has been absent from training and has been punished for it. I'd say between 18 & 24 million would snatch him.

Exactly. It doesn't matter how many games he plays at Watford, 40 or 150, it doesn't matter his Chelsea debut is still his Chelsea debut. What he did atWatford will matter little when he is picked at Chelsea for the fist time.

Thanks for not rating me out to the authorities then.

Eveything is coming up Spike. England is much more uptight than Brazil. HOW DOES EVERYONE KNOW MY NAME Maybe I should stay awake for the next few days...

Really? I'd have thought they'd love it.

Don't get too carried away with this. It's just a voice. http://vocaroo.com/i/s1q479hClAyH

Not really. I generally dislike blonde hair.

I'll do it tomorrow. It's 2 am here...

Yes but I'm also quite unpredictable. And not ins good way.

Some fucking sick stuff then.

I love the beach but I'm pale as all hell...so yeah beach isn't the best idea.I want to get my six pack abs going again before Brasil, I'm a bit doughy right now.

So many Czech pornstars. What do you do to your poor girls over there?

I'm not sure yet it's still a long way away. But I'm very focused on doing it. I'd preferably like a safer city...I'm paranoid like that. The photos would be incredibly embarrassing. Lets say I'm not the most 'in control' person when drinking. I always drink way too much, often to the point of passing out.

I'm really keen for to visit Brasil. I'm going to start saving soon. The World Cup being the best time to go methinks. Where do you live São Paulo? I should dye my hair blonde before I go...

WHAT ABOUT MY ACCENT!? My mates and I are planning brazil 2014 for the World Cup. Give me all the pointers.

I'd say three days, but I do live in upside down land. Off topic but Swansea v Arsenal is having an amazing last 10 minutes.

This rumour is picking crazy steam. It wouldn't surprise me if an announcement is made within a few days.

Fucking Michu.

I forgot Modric even existed.

Arsenal and Swansea should be a great match.

I'm making that my sig.
