Hey Zealous, Punta Pelota is a fun show, recommend it to everyone that understand a bit of spanish or learning.

thing is, got to be careful with the info thrown at you, i can say that from my own experience, some of the stuff said there are true and most are wrong too. all the guys there are out to get "exclusive" tho, hilarious moments, always.

when they organize a debate around a dailymail article on a player madrid want, you laugh.

However, from what i have observed of him, Pedresol is a well connected guy, that often reveals interesting tidbits. Quim Domenech is not bad either. Pipi Estrada Laughing

, and Gatti truly is a nutter lol

thing is, like most medias in Spain, they serve an agenda. people dont realize this but you never get information for free. So when AS breaks exclusive that turns out to be true, it's never free. Just like Marca are the lap dogs of some madrid officials and they always, even if partially, reflect an important stance of the club. If mou is pissing off people in Madrid, some will be more willing to leak stuff they know to put him on the edge. Just like a year ago when Championing mou was the word, Marca was all "we love you mou".

Toure Yaya isn't a DM is he?
Rumors circulating around him probably nothing to it tbh

by Onyx Thu Mar 21, 2013 8:38 pm

He's been an AM/B2B during his time at Man City.

Garay is apparently signing for Manchester United and we are set to receive some cash from the transaction.

Todomercadoweb:

Carvajal will return this summer for around 8m Euros.

Carvajal... a necessary addition

by Valkyrja Sat Mar 23, 2013 6:59 pm

Carjaval

Future captain :bow:

by halamadrid2 Sat Mar 23, 2013 7:19 pm

finally some logic entering these heads

now lets avoid buying a new striker and we are set for next season

by Valkyrja Sat Mar 23, 2013 8:15 pm

We need someone instead of Di Maria...

by Zealous Sun Mar 24, 2013 10:49 am

Uhhhhhh why?

AS:

Real Madrid interested in Aguero due to Benzema's dip in form and Atletico not budging in their price for Falcao.

Another victim for Higuain to conquer :bow:

by McAgger Tue Mar 26, 2013 10:16 pm

We need Pogba :coffee:

There could not be a more perfect player to solve our problems in midfield anywhere in the world

by Onyx Tue Mar 26, 2013 10:27 pm

Isn't he a B2B?

by Valkyrja Tue Mar 26, 2013 10:48 pm

He isn't better than Khedira and he can't play Xabi's role.

by McAgger Tue Mar 26, 2013 10:54 pm

He's definitely better than Khedira imo. The thing for me is that he can play next to Xabi, next to Modric, next to Sahin, and next to Khedira and we wouldn't lose much quality

by Onyx Tue Mar 26, 2013 10:57 pm

So he can play pure DM? Might watch his next few games. Sounds like a promising player.

by McAgger Tue Mar 26, 2013 11:00 pm

Yeah, he's like a more agile and much better technical Khedira, who also has an incredible shot on him. Plus I think he's superior defensively. Exact type of player we've been looking for to partner Alonso in the past 3/4 years.

by Valkyrja Tue Mar 26, 2013 11:06 pm

He's better technically than Sami, but he doesn't have his presence. His defending is by no way superior's to Khedira's. But what put this comparasion to bed for me is that he doesn't have Khedira's native football intelligence. The german is one of the most intelligent players in the world. IMO he is the Makelele of this generation, they don't have the same style, but what ppl used to say about Maka, they say today about Khedira.

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Pogba was 19 until 1 week ago. Of course his presence isn't the best in the world but he will only get better.

I don't know why it's even an argument, we've had Khedira for almost 3 years now but we've lacked that agility and technical presence next to Alonso. It goes to show that as much as you want to back Khedira, he hasn't been the answer to our midfield.

by Onyx Wed Mar 27, 2013 12:29 am

Would he work alongside Modric?

Considering that Khedira is 26 and Xabi is 32, we should find a pair for Sami IMO. Verratti/Gundogan

Sportsmediaset:

Cavani only wants to join Real Madrid if he leaves Napoli. He has a clause of 63m Euros.

Man City and PSG also interested. PSG would offer Verratti as part of the deal.

by Valkyrja Thu Mar 28, 2013 8:23 pm

Benzema for Verratti+cash
