http://www.marca.com/2014/08/05/en/football/real_madrid/1407236920.html What is up with this bullshit? @Zidane05 I looked on the sky website and couldn't find anything to that regard....
The GK situation is pretty clear. We bought Navas. Iker is staying. Diego is going. It would be SHOCKING if anything else happens at this point. What other scenario do you guys see playing out? Iker is starting the Super Cup, we'll see after that.
http://gianlucadimarzio.com/news/milan-diego-lopez-lunica-insidia-e-il-monaco/ Di Marzio, who works for Sky, is reporting it on his site. He still seems to reference "Monaco" as the only obstacle. Not sure what's up with that.
Odd.... We still have a lot of players possibly leaving and coming Rumours of Khedira and Di Maria exits still floating around One of Casillas or Lopez leaving Falcao possibly coming Lots of rumours of Ancelotti wanting another midfielder Going to be a big, big month for us....
Sami Khedira wants to fulfill the remaining year of his contract and become a free agent next year. If Sami decides to stay in Madrid and not renew, RM has told him he will be a bench player for the season [ABC]
Wow , we are playing it hard , like the change in approach towards player sales . Infact , in recent times I felt BvB should have done the same with Lewandowski where Klopp had a much more significant role in making Lewandowski who he is today .
Likewise. It's a loan deal (allegedly), so we have very little to lose at the end of it, and when fit he is one of the very best strikers in the world. All this nonsense about upsetting Benzema is laughable. If Benzema is the better player, and the better fit for the team, then he will play. If not, then shouldn't we be pleased we have an alternative? This is Real Madrid, no-one should be too comfortable in their starting spot, it only leads to lazy performances (as we have seen already).
I don't know, I really hope he doesn't go to that Italian shit midtable club. He should go to an actual strong league like the EPL
I wouldn't want to let anyone leave on a free. If they are surplus, get something for them and push on.
It's Marca inventing something in order to tarnish Diego's image in the eyes of Madridista. Pure scummery. Diego has been nothing but humble and professional.
I still don't get the PSG-can't-buy-because-of-FFP excuse; somebody explain this to me... As I understand it they are going to sell and then buy again this summer. So far that makes sense but sort of gets a little fuzzy when you consider Ibra is 32 and should not have too many more seasons of top flight football left and Cavani is one of the players they supposedly intend to sell and he should be in the long term plans of the club. If it truly is down to money why wouldn't PSG arrange for a third party to buy ADM and then loan him to the club? Third party ownership has been used frequently enough by clubs who couldn't afford players. Granted traditionally its been clubs without the financial might that PSG has but none the less it should be rather simple for the owners of PSG to arrange for something like this if getting ADM this season truly was a must. What am I missing here?
I want Illarra to get 75%+ of the minutes at that spot this season, but I completely agree. I want Xabi Alonso mentoring the kid and starting at the DM spot in our biggest matches/available to come off the bench when we're chasing a game and need a better long distributor. I wouldn't place any value on this rumor. XABI QUEDATE
I'm fine with it, he can play for Arsenal this season if he drops that wannabe-best-paid-player act, but since he's being stupid he'll sit on the bench and face the same problem next year until he realizes no one will pay him what he wants and end up dropping the wages. Conclusion: he just wasted one year.
Borussia Dortmund could not afford to sit Lewandowski,. So they suck it up. We can afford to sit Khedira out. If I am running the team, I would not even allow him to practice. There would be two seasons without real football. Let's see how his agent can get him a good deal elsewhere. The keeper situation changes everyday. Yesterday, Iker was leaving. Now, it is back to Diego. Tomorrow, Navas will be sent on loan to Getafe.
100% bullshit. Marca are heavily pro-Casillas. From the nonsense article with the doctor talking about Iker's kind and trustworthy eyes, to this crap about Diego Lopez blowing up (if it's true who told them?), to Sanchis (comfortably ignored on this forum lulz) saying that nonsense about not wanting Keylor, insiuating he would be disruptive, etc.. it's all been a campaign to protect Casillas from competition. They ran Diego Lopez down for Casillas when he initially took his spot. Now they will railroad him out the club. Keylor Navas handled his press conference in such an amazing way the media couldn't pinpoint negatives. Especailly the fact he spoke about God, it kind of hampered their ability to spin him into another "devil" to Casillas being the "saint". More and more I think we should just rip this damn band aid off. Pay Casillas to leave this year and keep Diego Lopez. At least we know we won't be dealing with this utter bullshit all damn season long and then next summer. SMH at these players before team folks.
Depends on how you want to see it, if Marca really is an extension of the club they could have people talking to them from the directive to have them inform them of this. Or it's utter bullshit. Same applies as in Pepe's case for me: if I don't see him saying it, I'll assume he didn't.
I wouldn't go that far. He'd certainly be the last person in the pecking order in the midfield (the way I look at it now, he already is even if he 10 years on his contract), but I wouldn't put any other restrictions on him. You don't want to create drama where it's unnecessary, and you never know what can happen in a long season.
