Yeah it looks pretty good on paper, and yet Madrid will probably still concede loads of goals. :(

The winter window? There's talks of him being scaked before the start of the season. Its amazing that Calderon would replace one of the most decorated managers i football with someone that has never won a trophy. http://www.tribalfootball.com/article.php?id=52741 The defence has got to get...

Supposedly for tommorow's match against Sevilla, Schuster is considering dropping Raul and playing either sneijder or Guti behind Ruud. I'm sure most of you will agree that this is a long time coming. If Madrid perform well without him then perhaps its time Raul gets used to life as a squad player.

Yet another defeat. :erm: All be it a 94th minute goal but Madrid aren't exactly scoring. Schuster needs to whip the team into shape fast before the media start calling for his head before the season starts! The flipside to this is Spurs won all their pre-season matches and they haven't...

According to reports in Spain Chelsea have agreed a fee for Alves, thank god because he ripped into Madrid last week. I think his threats to go on strike may have pushed the deal(won't play tommorow) Supposed fee is around 32 Million Euros which i imagine is just over £20miilion

I'd imagine its 50-50 but it would be nice for them to make their debut at Home. Where do you think Sneijder will play? MArdid are stil hopeful of signing Robben and he'll probably be Madrid's last signing and rumours suggest Madrid may let Soldado go again which is criminal in my opinion as...

For those that can't wait :

It might just be me but is anyone else concered by our results during pre-season? Of the top of my head i know we've lost at least 3 matches, nearly in a row. I know some will argue that Madrid aren't in peak condition but ther's only a couple weeks till the season. Van Der Vaart, Sneilder...

I'm sure Pepe is good but the £17-£18 Million spent does seem quite excessive - good thing he's young though. Saviola is a good signing in my opinion not only on a free but he's got proven quality just wonder if he can get a starting place. Bernard has confirmed more attacking football...

So who exactly are Man Utd negotiating with? West Ham or Kia Joorabchian?

Fee being talked about is around £9million. I find it amazing that a club can negotiate deals for players when they don't even have a manager :rolleyes: The Chivu deal is being delayed because of his huge wage demands. There's a good chance that he'll go to Inter andd Milito will go to Barca.

Thats what they were reporting on Skysports news and in some of todays papers. Supposedly for a fee of around £20million which isn't too expensive. I'm disappointed as Tevez said last week that he wanted to come to Madrid. http://goal.com/en/articolo.aspx?contenutoid=344629

Looks like the deal is nearly don as Barca and Inter both have pulled out of the race to sign him. Which is his best position Left Back or Center back? i know he's got a good reputation(but so did samuel) but i'm not sure how good he is generally over the course of a season.

I must admit when ever i play football or am on my own at home, i do pretend to do the little feint that Zinedine Zidane does, where he moves his body to one side but doesn't evn move the ball. I also try to imitate his dribbling style :blush:

Yeah thats something people seem to forget he played poor at the start and thats wCapello dropped. He had a decent 5 or 6 games and suddenly everyone forgets how he played at the statr of the season. Did anyone catch Robinhos performance for Brazil? He got himself a hat-trick with the third...
