I honestly blame the media...........

halamadrid2 wrote:Mou rewards hardwork, everybody have played bar Sahin... be it Albitroll, Jese or Varane.... Mou played Granero because he worked hard and hasnt played Sahin yet....

what does that tell you??? that Mou doesnt know that he won Bundes player of the year???? thats nonsense..... Sahin not playing is UP TO FLIPPIN HIMSELF AND NOT MOURINHO, when he starts working hard, not being lazy and listens to Mourinho he will get minutes

i love how people are blaming Mou despite it being only Sahin that hasnt got any minutes out of our WHOLE squad yet

And there is the pre planned excuse for all Madrid failures...."he doesnt work hard enough". Yall must really be getting a sweet deal, watching Madrid training sessions by day, posting on forums by night.

Well, you guys are right to have opinions and discuss the issue, because it is an issue. But jumping to such erratic conclusions are not needed.

It is a 'wait-and-see' process for all of us right now.

Quotes me please.

Saw it, see no quotes saying Sahin isnt working hard enough.

Not that things like proof and facts would ever stop you.

Ok, let's sum up all the arguments in this thread:

1. Mourinho didn't need to play him.

There's nothing Granero, Altintop and co. can do that Sahin can't do better but they got playing time... See the faults in your logic?

2. He is lazy in training.

How can a midfielder who runs 10km+ every game he played be lazy? Did you guys ever play football? Midfielders can't afford to be lazy. He isn't some unknown youngster either. Sahin was the integral part of BVB which won the Bundesliga.
Talking about facts, he was neither overweight nor short of fitness when he played for Turkey. Both show that he isn't lazy. I could list many more instances but how about facts. He controlled the game and played well after a long break. Lazy, really?

3. No one knows anything, all of it is speculation.

Considering 1. and 2. one asks why he doesn't play? Each freaking team gangs up on Alonso and Ozil and then we start to hoof the ball. Sahin is defensivly and offensively sound, more so than Lass.

Who manages the team? Jose Mourinho. He is to blame then no one else regardless of the possible reasons / speculations.

lol the excuses in this thread are laughable.

Sahins case and Kakas are completely different, and look how Kaka turned out after that treatment

edit: typo

So, Mourinho comes to Real Madrid, wins a trophy, reach semi final of champions league. Leads a race in primera for 10 points, completely transformes Real Madrid into winers. Seta a new champions legaue record, made madrid play better football then they did in years. Improve certain players to became 200 % better(Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Benzema...)

And Real Madrid fans are still not satisfied because he doesn't give Nuri Sahin enough playing time? You are really a joke....

Something is missing in your post.

LOL, that's telling how serious he is about this issue.

No, we aren't. We have obvious problems in CM area. Someone like you wouldn't know. Also, I don't know what club you support but if you had Özil on the bench and someone like Gourcuff in the starting lineup all the time for no reason what would you think?
It isn't a matter of satisfaction, it's squad management. 10 points lead, what does it have to do with Sahin?
I know one thing for sure, our midfield will be exposed in CL sooner or later.

You know sometimes I can't understand if you guys understand the concept of caring about the players.

For you it seems the bottom line is success ,as it should be but do you have no sympathy for a kid who has the potential to be the best midfielder in the world...yet is getting no playing time simply due to the stoicism,pettiness of a coach?

When you look at your own club , whatever it may be, do you not feel melancholy watching a player deteriorate and left frozen out through no fault of his own.

I wonder how Milan fans would've felt if Kaka was kept on the bench for an entire season while Rui Costa and Seedorf played every match.I guess they wouldn't have cared one bit......or would that have depended on the level of suceess achieved?

He needs to play , regardless of what we win this season........it will hurt me knowing that a model professional who did nothing wrong missed a year of development just because Mou didn't feel like putting our 2nd best midfielder on the pitch.

If you have no sympathy for him...whatever.

He's also to blame for your 10 point lead so maybe you should just shhh because clearly he knows something that you don't.

It's always easy to take this kind of position, looking at everything from afar and saying that we dont have the right to complain. But we are looking at the bigger picture here, and worrying about our team future. While we are fully aware of what mourinho has done for us, you would think that there is a reason why some of us seem relatively upset about this particular issue.

We look at our team week in and week out, and we see an Alonso struggling more and more, being targeted by the opposition more and more because he is now slower. We see him being targeted in the oh so important clasicos because he is unable to deal with pressure, which greatly impact the way we play. We know that one of our weaknesses is the withdrawn midfield area, we are not perfect despite the good results, and it makes us very upset to know that we have a player on the bench who could have a substantial impact. It's not about bickering, we are concerned about maintaining what we have now, and we are concerned about maintaining the same standards and quality moving forward.

That doesn't even make sense...surely you have to realize how utterly stupid you sound right now

The coach has gotten you a 10 point lead in the league (which you may actually win for the first time since 08) and yet you're still throwing a tantrum and complaining because your fanboyism isn't satisfied with Sahin on the bench....

You sound stupid. Let's stop any kind of development just because a situation went well :lol!: Continue as long as it's working. What about the aftermaths?

I'm not a fanboy. We have deficiencies in CM area for a long time. Each time we play against Farca for example we get exposed on that. Sahin is one of the solutions.
I get your point as an Inter fan but Real Madrid is a different matter

Hey Hitler was to blame for Germany's economic recovery.That dosen't make every single thing he does right does it?

Mou is fantastic, but in this specific case he is making a mistake.

Not a fanboy? Its pretty obvious from this thread that Sahin playing is more important to you than your current state of success...

Which is essentially the definition of the word fanboy...valuing a player over a team

Imagine if we sold Benzema last year according to his logic. Unused potential is unused potential...

If people think that the end justifies the means then let's agree to disagree. I belong to the other party

I'm more annoyed with our midfield than with fanboysm. Second, how is playing Sahin undermining the team? You make it sound like with him the success wouldn't be possible. Nostradamus?
I certainly don't value him over the team. I want to add more value to the team in the area needed the most

All i can say is what i already said before, know one knows what's going on with nuri and why he isnt playing.

Whether it be personal problems, which i dont think so, or something else, no body knows, and it doesnt help to be complaining about the manager either. we cant do anything.

I say we just wait to see what happens, it is mind boggling to see that nuri hasnt gotten adequate minutes, specially considering the various conditions we are in, and i my self am irritated at whatever it is that is stopping him, but we cant do anything but hope that he plays...

I doubt nuri is the type to cause mourinho a butthurt feeling, and i doubt he doesnt work hard...

Its just a big ?

Not even the same case as Benz...Benz deserved criticism....Benz got playing time,Benz always had backing within the club ( Zidane and Perez).

Sahin on the other hand was bought by Mou....the one person whose responsibility it is to look after his interest seems to have omitted him from the season's plans.This guy has done everything asked of him and still can't get 15 mins when games are done and dusted.Even if Mou believes he's helping him, (absolving him of a little guilt)it really isn't right what he's doing.
