Re: Jose Mourinho: Real Madrid need another striker
Morata would remain a castilla player and only appear with the first team when needed. He would train with the first team and play with castilla during the weekend.

How about signing a WC forward and benching Di Maria? Hulk, Neymar, Tevez etc.

Typical Mou who will never be assured unless he has spent a fortune every summer.
I hope this idiot realizes the talent in the Cantera.

I think he does, but i think he also account for the fact that he doesnt see them as ready as we would think they are.
Also, mourinho is playing one of the most important season of his career, and beating barcelona to the league title at least, is the most important thing.
Even if he needs the 3rd CF for just 15mn, he isnt going to take many risks imo.
I do think that after our objectives are accomplished, there is going to be a new vibe where trusting the younger ones is safer, less pressure heavy, and more natural. That's why i dont want Adebayor, we would be stuck with him for 4-5 years.
If we can find a carvalho like CF, perfect.

Exactly, I think you and I agreed about this view in another thread. Drogba would have been very nice as a third striker... Same profile as Adebayor, but better and older.

Drogba would be a superb addition to the squad but I dont think he personally accepts being used like a tool tho. He still has couple of good years left for him.
But yes I support the idea of signing Adebayor.

Mou was the coach in Europe who used the most youth teamers during the last season... And I think he's the one who have given castilla players the biggest amount of debuts in the last 30 years or something.

Re: Jose Mourinho: Real Madrid need another striker
I made this argument before, Mourinho never wanted RVN. he is a player Valdano brought up when we were looking for a CF, but mourinho had his way and got Adebayor.
if i recall, we just needed to pay about 2M for RVN right? I'm pretty sure we paid that much in wages to Ade.
@shaven, my only issue with Raul is the fact that is athleticism have gone down

Re: Jose Mourinho: Real Madrid need another striker
We don't need that 3rd forward. Morata plays for Castilla on weekends, leave him be there and call him up only when we're in dire need
He'll get plenty of playing time with Castilla and eventually help them promote to segunda AND he'd get to train with the first team and fill in occasionally for injured. It's a win-win situation, why waste money on someone who we don't know how will fare in RM socially and sportly?

As cool as it sounds, i'll be shocked if that's what end up happening guys.
Maybe we do need a 3rd CF, at least for a little while.

Really? As a pure goalscorer he has no equal. Also quite good as a target man. Physicality and speed not so good, but he is already a Madrid legend and would retire in 2 years, so why not?
We could have stuck with Raul, but that boat has gone. No coming back now.

Re: Jose Mourinho: Real Madrid need another striker
Problem is that we get a lot of our offense on counter attacks where we just fly down the field. Benz' role has become at times to help the defense and midfield and then make a run to the box. Higuain does the same thing roughly, using his different skillset. RVN would get injured within 2-3 games if he had to do that. A lot of switching around too with our forwards as they play all across the pitch.
We need physically gifted and high work rate CFs under Mou. It's a 10-man defense and 10-man attack concept.

That's why Ade fits, he is an uber athlete as you would say.

Re: Jose Mourinho: Real Madrid need another striker
A big reason of mourinho wanting a 3rd CF might be higuain as well, he is far from his full fitness level. And it might not be a good idea to push him too much until he gets there.

Re: Jose Mourinho: Real Madrid need another striker
You're right Nick. Pipita is not recovered... it's obvious. And he's too hard a worker to blame it on anything but the injury. We need to add some depth here. Mou's right.

Re: Jose Mourinho: Real Madrid need another striker
Nick, Sportsczy - what is your take on Mou's supposed comment today that he only wants a squad of 20!!!
Is he saying that he doesn't need the 3rd striker? How does he get 20 (rather than 21)?
I missed the game today, surprised that Sahin didn't get to play and disappointed about Ramos. I agree that for the next few games (super Cup and Spanish NT friendly) that Arbeloa can fill in adequately.
I just hope both of these guys return healthly and soon. This probably means that both will miss supercup games. So we basically go into these games with same line-up as last year (plus Coentrao) while Barca will be minus Puyol, but have Sanchez (likely in place of Villa) and Abidal and possibly Thiago. I don't like to admit it, but we look like underdogs again. We need to get Sahin into the line-up!!!!

Re: Jose Mourinho: Real Madrid need another striker
It's a curious one, specially after asking a third CF. I do not like the midfield selection we have, at the end of the day, that's my only concern, specially if he wants to count on only 2 CF. it's very odd

You bring a good point Nick.
But IMO this is the ripe time to test youngsters as I can understand how they can be exposed at times due to inexperience yet, playing youngsters under pressure can bring wonders as when they develop under pressure but with close support from their team and staff, they eventually develop a thick skin to pressure and bloom even earlier.
Plus your youth has the talent to withstand and the mentality as that is what they also teach in the Cantera.
Ade is not a good option at all I agree yet I feel he will be signed cause he wants it so much as Mou seems to empathize with him.
Personally I feel Drogba would be perfect as he has 1-2 more years and is professional enough to except the bench

Re: Jose Mourinho: Real Madrid need another striker
Drogba is too ambitious to come sit behind benzema and Higuain i feel, i considered the option myself last season, but ultimately i'm not sure he wants to be in that role.
