With so many different sources claiming the deal is done and dusted, one can't but believe that Coentrao will be a Real Madrid player sooner rather than later.

I say this is Benfica's last attempt at inviting offers from other clubs, hoping one of them would be more than Real Madrid's offer, so they can milk as much money as possible from us.

According to Marca, Brazilian legend Ronaldo advised Real Madrid to go ahead and make a move to capture Neymar.

La Gazzetta report that Massimo Moratti has given the green light for operation swap Maicon - Kaka to go through, on one condition though, that Kaka lower his wage demands.

The Daily Mail state that Jose Mourinho has contacted Alex Ferguson in order to inquire about the availability of Javi Hernandez, but Ferguson stated that "no amount of money will persuade him to sell Javier Hernandez to Real Madrid."

Garay's agent stated that his client would be perfectly fine with a move away from Real Madrid, as long as he gets playing minutes to his name. Moreover, he denied any truth to reports claiming Garay will transfer to Benfica as part of the Coentrao to Real Madrid deal.

I still believe Garay will head to Benfica, but on an individual deal.
J. Hernandez is just unrealistic, but the Daily Mail is a good hint.
La Gazzetta are really liking this proposed switch, but Maicon and Coentrao both arriving makes no sense at all.

I say we keep Benzema as in the second half of the season he played really good. Neymar is a good player but benzema is a better finisher. He also creates chances for his teamates. The amount of chances Ozil and di maria create we need someone to bury them chances. We have one of the best attacks in the world in Benzema, Higuain and Ronaldo can also play up front so imo we dont need to buy anyone in that position. A quality cb in needed.

Is it just me or this is the first time that I think we don't really need to buy players. We have a lot of quality on our current squad.

why neymar, what about hamtaro? real madrid will not sign half the world will we??

I actually kinda want Neymar on the team, but don't see where he can play. The boy is really talented

Same thing here

Lass may not leave after all, he said that he will wait until Mou tells him what his plans are for next season. He can still be our DM. Great news for me personally.

Me three.

A guy of his abilities. U must find a spot. Neymar is very versitle. It's not like he can only play 1 position. If we get him I'd be very happy. I'm starting to think if could happen too. I know Ronaldo wants him to come here

same here the guy(lass) is great

khedira is the one who needs to go

so fat and slobby it hurts my eyes seeing him play and fail to score even with an open net

as for neymar, no thank you we have just been able to reduce ronaldo selfishness imagine this guy


not to mention we already have benz, higgy +morata/ade

no need for one more who deserves playing time too much of a dilemma already lol

and to moratti ive only got one thing to say pay up the 50 inaddition to maicon or else you can sod off

I'm not sure about how others fell about Lass but I really love him on the field. Very agressive. I wish he would just be content playing the role he has. He played in 38 totally games. That's pretty good. He plays a great role for us and we need to have a player of his abilities. They are vital especially to knock off Barca.

Apart from Essien I don't see anyone else out there that can fill Lass's boots.

Agreed. I hope we do keep him. I don't see a reason in replacing him when we won't be able to upgrade his position.

i thought khedira was doing decent job so far, his performace againts barca impressive, and i believe he could do better next season
only he's quite injury prone that i don't like, but he always come back just fine after injury and don't affect his performance
i don't really care he's not a better finisher, he's not attacking midfielder anyway

khedira was a good signing imo. He brings height and strength to the team and who can forget the game he had against atletico madrid when he made an assist for benzema to score. He can play dm, b2b and am. He may be a bit slow but he never stops running and always gives his all.

he made awesome assist for ozil's goal againt sevilla too

Anything new. never saw aguero coming tbh but coentrao is a different case, wuts going on with him? last i hear benfica gonna discipline him lol.

its a way of them saying.

we cant talk until we officially sell him.

or maybe they are pissed hes talking a bit too much.


hey the guy wants to come here...

Lass: 'I will only leave Real Madrid for an English club'


http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2011/06/07/2522072/i-will-only-leave-real-madrid-for-an-english-club-liverpool

He suits English football anyway imo. Man Utd and Spurs would probably benefit by having him.

so you guys you think were gonna approach chelsea for essien?

mou must want a dm out there no?

Not with all the players we have right now.

lass out, make room for essien
gago out
leon out, replaced by callejon
garay trade in for coentrao
canales loaned

And Benzema if Aguero signs probably.

ya one question though, you think aguero and higuain can co exist for a long time?
