Re: The Old Folks Home Can't Make It, So Rosenborg Comes Instead, Goodbye Salgado: Bernabeu Trophy[R So is Salgado going to get to play, or is he just going to walk around the pitch or something?
Re: The Old Folks Home Can't Make It, So Rosenborg Comes Instead, Goodbye Salgado: Bernabeu Trophy[R How can Salgado get a chance to play for us? He is with a different team now.
Re: The Old Folks Home Can't Make It, So Rosenborg Comes Instead, Goodbye Salgado: Bernabeu Trophy[R That doesn't make sense.
Re: The Old Folks Home Can't Make It, So Rosenborg Comes Instead, Goodbye Salgado: Bernabeu Trophy[R As in, you know, be paraded around in a suit, lap of honour etc. or, actually, start at right back for us.
Re: The Old Folks Home Can't Make It, So Rosenborg Comes Instead, Goodbye Salgado: Bernabeu Trophy[R ^ It's not an official match so I guess technically he could, but that's not going to happen. Maybe he will lift the trophy or something.
Thanks for making the thread, sam. (I changed the clever title to give just the match information as many of us use these threads for later reference.)
Re: The Old Folks Home Can't Make It, So Rosenborg Comes Instead, Goodbye Salgado: Bernabeu Trophy[R Well he signed a contract with another team so he can not play for us. There is a risk of injury, breach of contract and the fact that he was not named in the squad.
Re: The Old Folks Home Can't Make It, So Rosenborg Comes Instead, Goodbye Salgado: Bernabeu Trophy[R What on god's green earth is wrong with Ramos.
Re: The Old Folks Home Can't Make It, So Rosenborg Comes Instead, Goodbye Salgado: Bernabeu Trophy[R According to AS, before the game he will come to the pitch with his children to receive a present from the club.
Re: The Old Folks Home Can't Make It, So Rosenborg Comes Instead, Goodbye Salgado: Bernabeu Trophy[R Just like Fernando Hierro I hope we get to see another RMTV emotive video.
i think metz deserves to wear the #2. i know its still just a pre-season game but lass rocking the 10 shirt..hrmmmm. i wonder if karim will talk him into swapping #'s for one night
Good to see Ruud and M. Diarra back. A shame about Sneijder though. With M. Diarra, it looks like he is staying, no?
Re: The Old Folks Home Can't Make It, So Rosenborg Comes Instead, Goodbye Salgado: Bernabeu Trophy[R Man, those things are really emotional. I still remember the hierro one. Ya he is staying. Nobody would buy him since he was injured.
hope so - i'm totally anal about squad numbers. It annoys me whenever i see william gallas (central defender) wearing 10 for arsenal and when paul ince (DM) used to wear 9 for Boro.
He who asks for it gets it. Benzema isn't automatically handed the #10 shirt because he has a high number and happens to play in attacking position. IF Lass comes first and request the #10 then he will get it.
Ok, but Benzema has already said he wishes to wear the number 10 in his first interview. Plus it was his number at Lyon.
