La Liga Thread

There's a rumour Mourinho doesn't like Nuri Sahin, I think Guillem said that. We should look at him!

If Guillem said that, then there might be some truth. That analyst has won my respect. Very good and thorough in his analysis, and does not BS like most reporters.

Anyways, it was Guillem who suggested first that Mourinho could win la Liga and then leave in the summer.

But Real won't be too crazy in selling Sahin after he just got there. I am putting my chips on someone like Canales.

RM ex-president said that. And if JM doesn't like him, then there must be a reason.

Oh yeah I remember that, it was Calderon that said that.

Now the discontent from the locker room i remember clearly was mention by Guillem. How players like Casillas where not at all contet with Mourinho that he favor more the Portugal players.....

Which I was actually surprise by Ricardo playing as CB during the last clasico game, when he had not been playing for a long time.

ya well Madrid is a fukken circus with the Spanish players having too much influence and being backed by Marca and the rest of the media... Jose leaving this summer would be terrible for them, and Perez would probably resign...

There's an article about a leak in the Madrid dressing room http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2012/jan/23/mourinho-real-madrid-sid-lowe

He should be in a win-win situation though, he should be able to take the Liga - and if not, well, no one's had to deal with this kind of Barcelona side.

Well what do you expect, is Madrid!

And speaking about spanish players having too much influence, doesn't it sounds strangely familiar???

P.S. If Spanish player giving him some hard time, imagine how it would have been with Guti and Raul?

It is why at Chelsea, AVB has to build his squad in his image, and player with so much influence like Drogba, Lampard have to leave!

"If I had been whistled at Chelsea where they don't even whistle the opposition manager, it would be a problem."

[Fernando 6,585]

After reading that article it appears that Mourinho might have some problem with Casillas.

And I have to say, as much as I like Mourinho, he is wrong to get in with Casillas.

Casillas is the most respected player of Real Madrid. Casillas is the heart and soul of this team!

If you go ask the Barcelona fan about Casillas, they will tell you he is the player they hold in most respect.

Neutrals I would say the same.

If Mourinho gets with Casillas, he is done.

Real...Barca...Mourinho...Guardiola...Messi....Ronaldo...Ramos...Alves...Valdes...Casillas...Camp Nou...Santiago Bernabeu...blah blah blah......blah blah blah...and blah blah blah...can't listen to them anymore...

They better keep Jose. I know a certain club who made the biggest mistake in their history in letting him go...

Sorry my friend, but Madrid are a total different animal.

Can't compare Madrid to Chelsea.

I think this quote from that analysis says it best:

From a player's point of view, it revealed the one flaw in Mourinho's long career: he was never a player. Somehow, he just doesn't know what they do. That is a feeling exacerbated by a mutual lack of comprehension, a sense of distrust and division, and by poor results against Barcelona. It also revealed something else, one of the greatest obstacles that Mourinho has encountered: Madrid is not Inter or Chelsea or Porto, the Spanish media are not the English or Italian media, and Spanish players are not the same as English ones, or Italians or Portuguese. One of Mourinho's greatest and most often lauded skill – dressing-room relations – has not been as easy to apply here.

Ramos was wrong to tell him that, and Jose's got the European cups, what has Ramos got?

Even though he was never a player his campaigns have shown that if the players do exactly what he says they will make it...his victories against us and Barcelona with Inter are a testament to that..brilliantly executed they were.

Again you are talking about Madrid, where they don't pride themselves in the win Mourinho had against Barcelona. They don't deem that football "good enough"

Look at how they treated Capello when he won them the league?

Sorry but what Mourinho has done in the past does not stack up to what these Pathetic Madrid think of themselves.

Even Hiddink was not well taken when he was in charge of Madrid.

I agree with u but i see where others may have a problem with that regarding some players having legendary status.. But in order to rebuild and progress the reality is they gotta go.

Raul leaving was his first condition, and if Casillas wasnt the best in the world he would have made him leave too.

Your right. Ramos is a hot head. Like Guti was.

Not sure if you knew but Guti and Pellegrini had a fight in the past.

But Casillas.....very tough thing my friend. If he turns against you, you are dead man.

It's like saying Terry turning against you years ago.

Now it's different cause he is old and his place might not be as secure, but say a Terry at 26 years old.

They hold too much weight in the team.

Eh I don't follow Spain football on regular basis, but since Jose came Real has turned into a meat grinding machine. I didn't want to compare them with us, just to say that it would be wiser for them to keep Jose as he is not your regular bloke. If they bring someone to replace him and he overthrows Barca then fair enough, good work but that probably won't happen.

Besides that, I am really tired of both Madrid and Barcelona, media talk and their El Classicos...
