I have the feeling that Madrid is built around Cristiano , firstly for his own right , but sometimes goes so far as he has to throw all free kicks or not changing his position in the field (which hurts Bale) . I have always been very volatile and fickle, and more after the defeat , but I wonder what would be Madrid if not built around him. Next season he will be 31 years old and I have the feeling that we have not got all the juice to Bale( I think that they are not a good partnership). I said in the newbie forum and I keep it, although maybe in some months I 'll look ridiculous, but I believe that Cristiano will play in United, or at least Mendes will try very hard this summer.
La Liga - 2014/15
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
yes, of course, more important that all the changes it would be to get a new goalkeeper. Now they are talking about Courtois...I don´t know if there is some truth in his bad relationship with Mourinho or is just an invention to pressure De Gea
Why? Ronaldo can play his free-LW role and get 50+ goals, what will he get as a striker? 60+? Benzema is already a 30 goal a season striker and if they replace him with Ronaldo they're not going to get another 30+ goal winger.
I think Courtois story must be made up because I haven't heard anything like that in the English media. Only story about Chelsea and goalkeepers is that Cech will be leaving to maybe Arsenal. Cech would probably be a big upgrade on Casillas now that I think about it....sign him instead of De Gea please
I saw it in some programs in Spain, François Gallardo, an agent that had a couple of hits in transfer market and now lives with the fame that he got. I found a link with similar info in english, although is not the original sourceI think Courtois story must be made up because I haven't heard anything like that in the English media.

Sounds like a made up story. Would be shocked if chelsea sold Courtois this summer. Think it will be de gea to madrid for sure
Well, it was a ridiculous post from me too tbf. Last thing I want to do is piss off United fans that don't dislike us.
If you piss off people after you're annoyed at people for gloating at your team having just lost out in the title race with two games left, I wouldn't worry too much about those people.
Vato, have you realized that Real Madrid won more leagues with Higuain?
mbuahahahahaahahahaha
mbuahahahahaahahahaha
Do you have a Napoli kit already?didn't really think your post was that bad. A United fan would need to be very sensitive to get offended over that.
@Snow wouldnt really say its some sort of Barca agenda to laugh when madrid fail. It is pretty crazy how even after they spent so much money and brought in all those star players they only managed to win the title once in 7 years now
Robinho has double the amount of La Ligas than Ronaldo....
Barca's record in 2015 is outstanding and to win the league at the Vicente Calderon would be cool 
Just a shame i've missed the fun in the Real Madrid vs Valencia game
It's amazing that Diego Alves is so brilliant to save penalties.

I didn't say it was a Barca agenda.
Why is it pretty crazy? The Barcelona team was great. They've been runners up 5 out of those 7 times and the one time they came 3rd they were level on points with Barca in 2nd. 5 times semi finalists in the CL and 1 win (maybe 2).
Chelsea and City haven't got a much better record. Barca are also big spenders, they pay more wages. Not a lot had to change in those 7 seasons for one league title to be 2 league titles. They just got bettered.
You think they should have won more? In that time, when was Barcelona not the favorite for the title? Last years is the only exception to the norm.
It's the same statistical trap that people fall into all the time with goal scored, assists etc. When you only look at titles and years and money it looks bad. When you look at the champions each year, what they spent, what their team was like and the difference at the end it doesn't. The same team that beat Real in those years beat United twice in the CL and quite easily I might add. Champions of England and still we didn't feel confident of a win. Real spent all that money to keep up with that Barcelona team. They didn't even have a choice. United are doing the same thing now. They'll spend again this summer to get to a challenging position following a record spending summer to clinch 4th. That's football sometimes for the big teams.
Barcelona will probably finish the season with the best ever goal difference in La Liga. The current record is +89.
Really? One year without the league or champions league coming to to winning both would be a "disaster",
1 league in seven years with the amount that we spend every summer is not a great record. Every fan can choose what demands to his club but for me is not good to be second,and the worst is that Barcelona is doing better both in liga and C.L
It's not ideal but it's hardly a disaster. A little better here and there and you could have had both trophies (can still get one). Also, ancelotti is at fault for only 2 of those 7. I'd give him minimum another year for sure, even if you don't win the champions league.
Ancelotti is one Barça win in La Liga, and a Juventus clean sheet on Wednesday away from the sack I'd say.
@carvajal replacement candidate?
I also would give him another year,I like the play style and I wonder what he will do if he can choose the signings for next year but I think that he didn't manage the squad too well.
in my opinion he will continue but if not I'd say Zidane
How's zidane at Castilla
He started bad,then in some weeks they were first but now 7th I think,almost without options for promotion,anyway that is not so important,here the logic doesnt apply many times.It's more about the hype of the drama or the new ilusion.In this case I think that Florentino wants his own Guardiola
Yeah, more than a club, yours is a political institution in itself
After being in this forum a while I realized that the british football culture is so different,even the fans have a different perspective about many things,very interesting to compare.Anyway I speak for myself,probably other madridistas would choose a model similar to other european clubsYeah, more than a club, yours is a political institution in itself
Right when I'm typing these words I'm having a row with my Ronaldo fan girl sister... Inescapable
are you greek Dario?I am just guessing
Nope, far from that
I don't know but Terios sounds greek to meNope, far from that
A google will tell you what it is, I am just weirdly attracted to that little cute carI don't know but Terios sounds greek to me
It's pretty strange that Ancelotti has an excellent domestic cup and Champions League record, but struggles to win League titles.
When you manage Madrid you are on the brink from day one.
It's about maintaining the freshness of the squad and be strong in the right place at the right time. I don't think Carlo has quite mastered that art
Makes you appreciate Lucho's rotations and fitness control.
He's had plenty of practice at that by now though? Juventus manager 99-01, AC Milan 2001-09, Chelsea 09-11, PSG 11-13 and now Real Madrid. I remember when he was at Chelsea, in the 09-10 season they started brilliantly, struggled in the winter, then played pretty well in the run in to end up pipping united to the title that season. 10-11 followed a similar pattern.
And touch wood, the lack of injuries to key personnel.
A Spanish court could decide on Wednesday if the strike affecting the end of La Liga season is legal.
The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has suspended the end of the season and the players' union (AFE) also decided to strike in a row over TV rights.
The proposed action puts the final two rounds of league games in doubt, as well as the Copa del Rey final.
Barcelona, who play Athletic Bilbao in the cup final, are only one game away from wrapping up the league title.
They would become champions by beating current holders Atletico Madrid on Sunday, if the game is played.
The RFEF and AFE are not satisfied with a new law, which was supported by the Spanish league (LFP), introducing collective bargaining for domestic television rights. Currently Real Madrid and Barcelona receive most of the TV money.
The AFE and LFP have been summoned to make a court appearance on Wednesday, a league spokesperson has confirmed

Apparently we will win la liga if the strike goes on, as the games will not be recovered.
