El Senorito - Sergio Canales

Alonso has said if the time is right etc then he might return to Liverpool.

And also isn't Ozil our future AM?

i said attacking central midfielder.

we want canales to play deeper as an acm.

What about Sahin?

mtfootball wrote:Yeh but Canales isn't a DLP though. He plays pretty much exactly the same position as Ozil and it's not like Ozil is like 28/29 either.

Just like the new wave of spanish AM, he will learn to play deeper and deeper, just like you already see when he plays. He likes to come deep to touch the ball. THose to me are natural tendencies, not something we can read on paper, he wants to touch the ball, ultimately he will end up playing ACM, just like iniesta does with barca for ex, or just like Ander was playing with the u21, with freedom to go up because he can score goals.

the reason he was playing so high with Racing i think it's because he was so overwhelmingly talented, and in smaller teams, if you notice, the players with a natural tendency to attack are played as high as possible, becaus physically or technically they can handle it. It reminds me of Moussa sissoko starting as a DM, and now he runs down the wings and play advanced CM, just because he is a freak athelte with good technique.

you can see him playing with sahin in a 3 man midfield no problem

I wouldn't mind that, but we still have Sahin and Ozil too. Also unless Khedira turns into a fulltime DM then him too.

true we have an arsenal of young players coming up, i wont pretend i know how this will develop but it's gonna be a mess if they all turn good at the same time.

Benz, Higuain, Morata, Sarabia, Jese, Ozil, Canales, Di Maria, Callejon, now maybe Neymar too... God knows what were gonna have to do with all these in a few years time.

Yeah, I know. And what about Benz on the left, or Higuain in front if you think about it. But out of the array of young stars weve got, not all of them will fulfil their potential. Im not too impresed with Jese till now, for example. We do overrate some of our own canteranos, IMO.

we should be happy we have such canteranos coming from madrid, whether they play for us or not, we are building careers here. and if we have guys like callejon coming here, watching sarabia's praise.


i think its imminent for sarabia and jese to someday be part of the team.

morata certainly on the road.

why is canales not playing in the european U21 championship against belarus?

He is not even in the squad. Still in unde 19s

Hopefully with playing time next season he'll make it to the u21s or even the senior squad.

Poor guy, he missed out on the trophy (most likely) just because we wrecked with his development. Oh well, maybe he will improve in time for the Olympics.

so to blame if there is one?

still trying to be in shape during vacation?

Aston Villa interested in Canales.

mtfootball wrote:Aston Villa interested in Canales.

young rumoured to manu and canales to aston could be true

but hopefully not there

young already signed for man utd.

canales to villa is laughable at best, poor rumor coming from the mirror.

we can avoid discussing rumors from that kind of sources

Lille has expressed interest in Canales.

I actually think this is workable. Madrid can get a buyback clause with Lille done.... you don't have the rivalry and direct competition issues.

Hope it works.

Canales/Hazard creativity is a very nice combo.

Rome? Thats not good... what if he is going to Roma on a permanent deal, as some rumours would have us believe?

What if he went to Malaga on a loan/buy back deal? Ruud could keep an eye on him for us!

The kid needs to get toughened up a bit and get some grit to him... send him to L1 in France and he'll either develop into a great player or get his arse kicked. You try too be a "pretty boy" in France and you'll eventually get your teeth kicked in, like Gourcuff.

gut feel he will be staying ... mou just need to realize and know how to utilize his talent

any recent updates with canales?
