Re: Fabio Coentrao Discussion

A GAGA Maicon swap has popped up on AS.

by Guest Wed 29 Jun 2011 - 14:56

We're basically buying everyone. I'm glad that's settled lol.

Honestly, i don't think Mou is into the lunacy of Madrid's recent transfer history. My hope is that it's just a whole lot of noise out there for most of these guys.

In the end, Coentrao seems likely. So does one of Aguero or Neymar. If the later happens, one of our current CFs may get sold (although that could be delayed until the winter mercato). May need a replacement for Lass too if he leaves.

Can't see much more happening than that.

Sourced from La Gazzetta. Those guys have been pushing Maicon our way for weeks.

rotate Sahin with Alonso and Fabregas then slowly replace Alonso with Sahin. Di maria and Higuain with Neymar and Benz.

That's nice and all but Chelsea did what they needed to do to achieve their goals at a rather intense rate. I would love for the best players to play but in the end, it's those players that choose to go to the club, they can easily say "no" like Viera, Totti, Henry when Real approached them.

As for Real Madrid, while I do understand your sentiments, we haven't signed any of the rumoured targets so I still feel you're being a bit over the top. Also, why not assume Real Madrid upper management may actually have a plan. I know, that doesn't make sense, Real Madrid and long term planning but I think for the sake of not sounding like a Barca/Anti Madrid, think we could give them the benefit of the doubt.

Or not...

I'm talking from the perspective of a football fan Doc, not a Madrid fan. As a Madrid fan... Sure. Sign as many of the top players as you possibly can. Can't hurt with Mou being the disciplinarian and it may help. But as a football fan, you don't want young stars on the bench. You want them on the field somewhere.

I'm much more of a rabid football fan than just a Madrid fan honestly. And I'm reacting based on the expected transactions... They may not happen of course.

sahin-fabregas-ozil looks a bit ridiculous

by FilipeFerreira Wed 29 Jun 2011 - 16:31

Real Madrid today offered benfica 15mil + a player (either drenthe or Garay), obviously benfica said no. Go big or go home.

I was reading an article the other day that Villas boas wants Coentrao at chelsea.

by adnyana179 Wed 29 Jun 2011 - 16:34

A few reports are backing the claim that Chelsea are after him. Nevertheless, I believe he will be wrapped up in due time.

Are you referring to the one from Marca? If so, yes I did.

by Mr Nick09 Wed 29 Jun 2011 - 16:52

yup, it's pretty much how i expect it to go.

maybe marca is right Shocked

Without considering the source, it wouldn't surprise me to see it happen that way.
There's no reference to what the deal would be, but it shouldn't be far off the ones we've been speculating.

Benfica want 25m for Coentrao.

by Mr Nick09 Wed 29 Jun 2011 - 20:44

@mt, when you post those rumors, isnt it better if you include the source and tell us how credible it is? I keep update all the time so i know where it's coming from, but many dont. the way you present it is almost like a fact...

Benfica is getting 22M + drenthe

by Onyx Wed 29 Jun 2011 - 21:34

Yeh most of it's usually rumours. Nothings really fact until it's on the Real Madrid website.

I know, but some rumors depending of where they originate from can have more weight than others.

by Onyx Wed 29 Jun 2011 - 21:58

Which sources are the most reliable?

by Mr Nick09 Wed 29 Jun 2011 - 22:01

well if L'Equipe is printing something about Inter offering 30M for Kaka without quoting another paper, i will trust them.

But if i see something coming from the Daily Mail, Daily star, Mirror etc.. Tuttosport... all that crap, i just ignore it.

by Guest Wed 29 Jun 2011 - 22:02

We won't buy Coentrao if we get Neymar, would be utterly pointless

by Onyx Wed 29 Jun 2011 - 22:05

Well most of them are hit and miss. Marca last year were saying we signed Silva but we didn't, but then they said we signed Di Maria and it was true.

you have check from which source the info is coming from first. Thing is, they can copy newspaper in portugal and get it right, because there are so many leaks coming from there.

when marca is the first to publish a hot rumor story, you can bet it's fake.

So can I assume this is a fact?

by Mr Nick09 Wed 29 Jun 2011 - 23:10

more like my opinion Razz

,

from the last thing we read about him coming, and drenthe going there.

Dunno what they see in that kid...
