The Official Real Madrid Thread

[Zinedine Iniesco 172]

Hello, there as the official Real Madrid ambassador here ( only rm fan here i assume ), i felt like making a thread where i post general info about madrid incase anyone is interested.

I see there's a La Liga thread but meh, this is the OFFICIAL RM thread

11/12 Season Review: Our season was great but ultimately disappointing in many aspects. If we would have won the penalties against bayern then ( no offense to chelsea fans) i think that our players would have beaten chelsea, and won la decima.

La liga was phenomenal, and we barely lost the copa del rey. Our team is a very complete one in several ways.

Out during 12/13 transfer window: Lass, Altintop, Carvalho, Maybe Adan

in : Javi Martinez, Maybe New back up GK, and just maybe another experienced rb like maicon, or maybe even debuchy. Ramos can play there, arbeloa can play there, coentrao can do the job in emergencies, and we might even promote our castilla wonderkid, Daniel Carjaval.

Kaka is a cancer to our side, we give him 10 million euros a year to under perform a prohibit us from getting a better back up to Di Maria/Ozil.

Lucas Moura is not ready to come, maybe next year.

I do think that by 2013 we either get lucas, or 2014 we get neymar or gotze.

My ideal starting 11 for 12/13 is

Casillas

Arbeloa Ramos Pepe Marcelo

Alonso Martinez

Di Maria Ozil Ronaldo

Benzema

Subs:

Higuain

Varane

Kaka

Sahin ( Expect him to show the world his true potential)

Callejon

Coentrao

Carjaval (MAYBE)

Granero

Albiol

I think that mou will definatley go for some midfield help in the transfer window, because khedira is not enough.

I also make real madrid videos, here are some for the interested.

[Santiago. 1,500]

J.Martinez would be a quality signing. Hope he stays in Spain and tells City to fuck off

I think Madrid need a new RB, because Arbeloa would be a class sub, but not a starter for Madrid's overall quality. And a new starting CB as Pepe is a disgrace to the game. I would also start Coentrao over marcelo.

Oh, and to add to your reply. Even if Madrid were to go through to the final, they wouldn't have won. Benzema would have hit the post twice, Ronaldo would have missed a penalty and the cross bar three times. Our name was written on that Trophy after our comeback from Napoli.

Lol theres no such thing as destiny buddy atleast in the context you are implying it as, jokingly or seriously

Arbeloa did well against bayern munich and barcelona and pretty much any big tag opponent over the season, it was against the "lesser" teams in which he looked like crap, specially when di maria was out injured because di maria provides extensive defensive cover and help, in part because the midfield tends to get a bit overrun at times. Hence the need for a new real deal Midfielder.

There arent any real deal right backs out there. Best options are among debuchy, and maicon. Debuchy could be a possibility he has a good record defensively and attacking wise as an rb, and maicon could provide experience, and would be a good buy for no more than around 8 mil euros, since inter are apparently after debuchy, so who knows around that paradox.

Ramos can play rb but we all know he's better at cb, varane which is a wonder kid could then fit in cb but id rather not go that way.

In his best pepe is a top cb with a couple of liabilities, varane and ramos are the future, but pepe needs to clean his act, i just wish he could dissapear and we slot in someone better but oh well.

Marcelo offers things coentrao can't as much, specially in attack, i'd like to see more of fabio in rb maybe during pre season, defensively he assures more than marcelo, i hope marcelo works on that. I'd keep marcelo on the starting birth as long as he justifies his prescense there, which he did for most of the season, believe it or not i believe we have the best lb selections in the world, not saying that they are the number 1 per say, but the selection of both is just tasty.

Theres no great rb options, the ones that are good, im sure mou will go over if he finds nesecary.

Athletic are gonna make it harder for madrid to sell martinez but if we really want him, we will get him. We have the money and history. No club could beat us to him, barca rumors on him are dwindled by the fact that they want thiago silva, and they already have busquets.

If martinez is open minded to leave i think he can come here.

Mou will most likely look at kaka replacement, midfield addition, and rb selection.

Seriously give us Sahin. You don't even use him. GRANERO GOT MORE STARTS! Or at least give us Granero.

Also, you only mentioned Khedira once. Is he a starter or backup?

[Zinedine Iniesco 172]

Seriously give us Sahin. You don't even use him. GRANERO GOT MORE STARTS! Or at least give us Granero.

Lol sahin was injured until november. He was given chances in which he did average-good from mid november - early january.

Mourinho has this thing where once january comes he kinda gets a group of players and sticks with them, he could have used sahin more during january-march but he didnt. If granero hadn't really showed good form during january- april then maybe sahin would have gotten more time, but his clock ran out when jose makes his decisions. Worldwide headlines were made on granero and how people were tagging him as underated, not saying granero rocked the world, but that he kind beat out sahin for several reasons.

Then sahin came out more during march-may played in cl, and jose mourinho and team mates, and karanka have always reiterated how they are backing up sahin, remind all that he was signed for 5 seasons not 1.

He has 12/13 to show his worth, he will be fresh, motivated, good as new. Plus he playes like 4 games with turkey in summer, 6 in pre season. He can do it.

Granero could go somewhere but i dont see him going to chelsea or moving out in the first place. Not yet.

No need to lecture us on Jose Mourinho, friend. We know first hand what he is like.

I really like Granero, I see him as a smaller Alonso. I think he would be a great fit at Chelsea. Well, they are both pretty similar (Granero, Sahin) so don't be greedy and let us have one too!

Lol greedy is our middle name

I hope to see both sahin and granero play at a high level next year for us, if granero feels like leaving then it would be great to see him at chelsea.

I feel they both stay here for the mean while.

Are you jealous of Hazard? If not you should be.

[Zinedine Iniesco 172]

Are you jealous of Hazard? If not you should be.

Lol what do you mean with jealous? Sure i would have liked to see him play for us because he's a great winger, but i can say that about many players, i wish messi, lahm, schweinsteiger, all played for us, because they could improve our team but that doesnt mean they are realistic rumors or that im gonna get frustrated because we dont have them.

Hazard is a great player but mourinho didn't find him necessary to our team's needs at the moment, or else he would have told madrid to engage in transfer talk.

Hazard is a great player, and he plays for chelsea, that's that.

I'm just joking around, of course. It's not like you guys need anymore attacking talent, besides he will probably sign for Real Madrid in five years for £100 Million.

I kind of feel sorry for the banks of Spain with Barcelona and Real Madrid around though.

Lol the economy in spain is not in a great spot right now, to some its actually a shock to see how madrid and barcelona are dealing with so much money, ( thats where the unequal/unfair tv revenue money controversy comes in).

La Liga striked for the first week last season because of it. There are literally proffesional footballers from teams like malaga or zaragoza who at times havent been payed.

I remember that Strike. I can't believe I forgot it happened!

With that being said, Valencia is the team I enjoy the most from Spain. I just want poor old Valencia to dominate for a few decades, is that too much to ask?

[robdog 2,084]

Hey has RM ever beat Chelsea FC? I don't think so. Hmmm, I guess they can make that a goal for the upcoming season

[Zinedine Iniesco 172]

Im not sure they have ever played. Lol i'd love to see these two teams fight. I'd make a bet that mourinho would probably shed a tear out of the pure emotion.

It would be cool if both madrid fans and chelsea fans chanted "JOSE MOURINHO!" at the same time.

Shame that we didnt try to set up a pre season friendly with chelsea, im tired of playing with ac milan, i dont like them, ( we are playing them in pre season ).

Well it's hard for them, even when they had great players, and even now, the most they can handle is 3rd spot.

Theyve had guys like david villa, david silva, juan mata, roberto soldado, superstars, and they have all left.

Valencia is in the end what i call a "Proud Feeder Club"

They play well, but in the end feed their top talents to other teams.

Soldado will stay though.

Ok I will come correct, I set you up. The answer is a Big, Fat NO!!!! Don't believe what you hear, cause CFC does have history. Checkout our Greatest Legend Peter Osgood putting the ball in the Ole Onion bag:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ytDVyV-ypU

CFC have played RM three times & here are the results:

Chelsea 1 - 1 Real Madrid (European Cup Winners Cup: 19-05-1971)

Chelsea 2 - 1 Real Madrid (European Cup Winners Cup: 21-05-1971)

Chelsea 1 - 0 Real Madrid (European Super Cup: 28-08-1998)

So pay homage to your Blue Overlords & Bow to the Mighty CFC!!!

[Zinedine Iniesco 172]

European Super Cup? Damnit

Well i hope to see them play again

The most important club in football history. I really like Real i think you need to buy a RB and a mid who replace Kaka and you should be fine.

Most important indeed

We won the first champions league ever, the last one of the twentieth century..we have always been riddled with great things.

I hope with chelsea, this is just the beginning. Some of the spanish media has been making comparisons between chelsea's first cl win and barca's.

The start of a "better" more successful direction for the club.

Why is there a Real Madrid thread here?

If you make a Real Madrid thread, might as well make a Barcelona thread!
