You Become the Real Madrid Manager

[Highway Penguin]

Ok, I figured we should try this. We all talk about what we would do if we were the managers of this team, so let's hear it. What would you do if you became the manager of Madrid?

Say who you'd sell/buy.
What formation you'd use.
What players you'd promote to first team.
Stuff like that.

[RealMadrilismo]

Well if i was manager this is what i would do...

For Sale: Mejia, Portillo, Celades, Owen, Figo.

New players: Robinho, Joaquin, Forlan

Formation:
------------------Casillas----------------------
-----------------------------------------------
-----------Woodgate-------Samuel-------------
M. Salgado----------------------------R. Carlos
-----------------------Gravesen----------------
-----------Beckham----------------------------
Joaquin-----------------------Robinho-----------
--------------Forlan-----------------------------
------------------------Ronaldo-----------------

Subs:

GK: Cesar.
Forwards: Raul.
Midfielders: Zidane, Guti, Solari.
Defenders: Borja, Pavon, Helguera, Raul Bravo.

[Leon of Silvren]

I would sell: Celades, Cesar, Raul Bravo.

Sign: Robinho, Ashley Cole, Lucio.

Formation:

-----------------Casillas

Salgado----Samuel----Woodgate/Helguera----Carlos/Cole

-----------------Gravesen/Guti

Beckham/Figo-----------------Solari/Robinho

---------------Zidane/Guti/Solari

----Ronaldo/Owen--------------Raul/Owen

[Leon of Silvren]

Well if i was manager this is what i would do...

For Sale: Mejia, Portillo, Celades, Owen, Figo.

Why would you want to sell Portillo?? He's very talented and young, a true prospect. Most people said he was the 2nd Raul.....

[Lance Knight]

Well if i was manager this is what i would do...

For Sale: Celades, Figo,

New players: Robinho, Lahm

Formation:
---------------Owen--------Ronaldo-----------------
----------------------Raul-----------------------------
----Robinho---------------------------Beckham
Lahm--------------Gravesen-----------M. Salgado
-----------Woodgate-------Samuel-------------
--------------------Casillas----------------------

Subs:

ok here is what i would do:

GK: Cesar.
Forwards: Portillo
Midfielders: Zidane, Guti, Solari.
Defenders: Borja, Pavon, Helguera, Raul Bravo.

[RealMadrilismo]

Why would you want to sell Portillo?? He's very talented and young, a true prospect. Most people said he was the 2nd Raul.....

I dont like the way he plays, plus he didn't do much good for Real this season. I also dont like having too many Forwards, cuz they always wanna play and score goals and there aint room for everyone. Raul, Ronaldo, Forlan would be enough for my team.

lol that formation is good except for Vicente, putting him as a defensive mid aint realy a good idea lol. Also with all the defense problems we been having last season lol you go and put only 3 of them.

[Lance Knight]

i cant see forlan at real that would be pointless

[RealMadrilismo]

i cant see forlan at real that would be pointless


What will make it pointless? That he was pichichi with 25 goals?

Forlan will do great at Real. He's pure class.

[Rickster]

oh consistent can forlan be though... n villareal wont sell him. plus yur gettin another striker which wudnt do much gud anyway.

I know villarreal wont sell him, and i know i wont buy him. This is just opinions. Getting another striker wont do any good? I dont know about you but i think Forlan is better then having Raul playing. I also said i wanted to Sell Owen and Portillo so getting Forlan in is a good thing....duh. lol

Forlan wont do any good.... lol your funny man real funny.

[Rickster]

Forlan wont do any good.... lol your funny man real funny.

forlan n raul play differently. so u wana sell owen who has done nutin but score goals n buy forlan juz so tat we can hav to rebuild the squad upfront. owen raul n ronaldo hav already bonded 2gether. n raul has played so well over the past few games. afta seein raul play in the last few games i tink next season he'll play at his peak... plus luxemburgo will prob give raul extra training... so i wudnt b surprised if raul plays even beta than forlan does next season

[Lance Knight]

i just hate to see people want a person on a team because he plays great, one man doesnt make the team, the team makes the man, who know forlan might have just have a lucky season, and u want to run off an buy him, and who is to say that he can play as good along side the other madrid players, come on learn the game b4 u say something like that

[MADRIDCF8]

sell:Figo, Raul, Celades, Pavon, Owen
buy: robinho, joaquin, sergio ramos, daniel alves, Julio Baptista, Oliviera

Cassillas
Salgado Ramos Samuel Carlos

Beckham Gravesean

Joaguin Zidane Robinho

Ronaldo

I would use lots of different formations also but thats jus one

[MADRIDCF8]

Yea he played great but i dont think we need him hes like 28 so hes not that young and we already have some forwards and attaching midfielders

[RM-girl]

one man doesnt make the team, the team makes the man

i agree with u :thumbsup: .........

sell: Celades, Cesar, Raul Bravo,portillo,guti,beckham.

[Highway Penguin]

Nice to see so many views-

Sell - Celades, Figo, and Bravo

Loan Out - Portillo and Mejia

Buy - Robinho, Joaquin, Ramos, Lahm, and Ibanez

----------------------Casillas-----------------------
---------------Ibanez-------Samuel----------------
---Ramos----------------------------------Bobby---
------------------------Gravesen--------------------
----------Becks/Joaquin-------------Zizou/Robinho---
------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------Raul-----------------------
---------Owen-----------------------Ronaldo--------

Subs-
Guti
Lahm
Helguera
Garcia
Salgado
Solari

That'd be a nice team, imo. :)

[Becks]

Guti would get more time playing.

Sell Raul.

Buy Robinho.

Use a formation involving 3 strikers, Owen, Ronaldo, and Robinho.

Buy some English defenders.

Do whatever it takes to aquire Frank Lampard.

[Leon of Silvren]

Well how do you want Portillo to impress you if he barely played.....btw did he even play?? :rolleyes:

And Forlan?!?!?! He has no talent whatsoever, he just score sitters!

[Leon of Silvren]

oh man.. come on :D i thought u liked raul, ur putting him in the sub? :)

this is what i would do:

For Sale: Samuel,Gravessen

New Players: ,Vicente

---------------------Vicente------------------
----Beckham--------------------------Figo----
--------------------------Zidane-------------
---------------------Raul---------------------
---------Ronaldo------------Owen-------------


This is really good team :)
Opinions are opinions but the defense is.....well absent! Helguera as single defender with help from Salgado?? Because you know how Robbie likes to attack and Vicente does not even defend!

And you're selling Samuel and Shrek?? Those are our defensive master pieces....

[Highway Penguin]

Thank god some of you aren't our managers.

:rolleyes:

Leon, you alright bro?

[Leon of Silvren]

Yup, why you ask??

[Lance Knight]

Raul fan, where did u come up with that defense, there is no defender in thw world that can whole that back line like that


lol u just called Gravesen Shrek, lol that was really funny lol,

[Mirko Mandic]

ok that 4-5-1 is just wack,
what so wrong with it???

[Boko]

So some of you have really unrealistic targets even for Real :)
My vision is too really wicked but... I'm not big fan of Ronaldo anymore and so called STARS

-----------------Casillas-----------------
-----------------------------------------
----------Woodgate----Samuel-----------
M.Salgado------------------------R.Carlos
-----------------------------------------
----------------Gravesen----------------
Beckham---------------------------Solari
------------------Zidane----------------
--------------Raul-------Reyes----------

Subs:Robinho, Pablo Garcia, Lugano, Helguera, Owen, Adriano(he's LB), Guti, Juanfran, Portillo

FOR SALE: Ronaldo, Figo, Bravo, Pavon
PS: if i plan for the future :) next year I'll retire Zidane and R.Carlos and buy Robben and Joaquin maybe :)

PPS: The team will use rotation system often :)

[Lance Knight]

I like boko idea, really good, but owen has already signed an extension on his contract, so having him on the bench good be a problem, the reyes and raul partnership, good idea, and i also think we should get rid of ronaldo,

[Boko]

Owen may start in the place of Reyes
or Reyes-> Zidane/Solari and Owen on his
or Reyes as LM and ... there are many posible rotations this is what I like most in this squad not large size but players for any place :) and lack of weep and lazy "Superstars" :)

[Aryan]

Hope Owen will return to Liverpool.

[Lance Knight]

owen would look like the biggest idoit ever if he returns to liverpool, there is no way back now,

[Rickster]

i dislike reyes... hes doing so crap in the premiership.. but he mite do will in la liga again.... but i rather not hav him in the team

[Highway Penguin]

Yup, why you ask??

You just seem a bit on edge. Eh, no worries then. :)

I like your ideas Boko. :) I'm not a huge fan of Ronaldo either, but I figured, he was our top scorer this year so you've got to keep him. Even if I think Owen would have scored more goals with more playing time. :)

[GiorgioII]

Why would you want to sell Portillo?? He's very talented and young, a true prospect. Most people said he was the 2nd Raul.....

Portillo didn't do too good at Fiorentina. I wouldn't get your hopes up of him being the next Raul.

[Highway Penguin]

I never saw him play, but I heard he made very little waves.

[MADRIDCF8]

Boko i like ur plan as well lol except for the fact taht id keep ronaldo and sell raul. so i guesse basically i like Reyes. then again id like reyes to come of the bench some times to.

[Leon of Silvren]

Portillo didn't do too good at Fiorentina. I wouldn't get your hopes up of him being the next Raul.
I know in Florentina he didn't do anything, but when I said the next Raul thing it was because he was breaking all Raul's records in younger teams until he got promoted to the A team....

[Leon of Silvren]

You just seem a bit on edge. Eh, no worries then. :)
On edge?? Not at all.....everything's cool, just trying to stimulate the discussion in the forum, we're currrently the most active forum on the board and I intend to keep it that way....:cool:

[Lance Knight]

ronaldo and reyes would not be a good pairing,

[Highway Penguin]

Agreed.

I see Leon. :)

[Aryan]

owen would look like the biggest idoit ever if he returns to liverpool, there is no way back now,
Why? At least he`d be a club starter. Not substitute for worthless Raul ho hasn`t scored for ages.

[Lance Knight]

but morientes and baros, and cisse are still there

[Highway Penguin]

Plus he'd look like a glory hunter for jumping from club to club. Would you want Ronaldo back if he left us for AC and then we won the CL and he said "You know what, I want back in."

[Lance Knight]

yea but he laft to win stuff in the first place, so wouldnt he be a glory hunter anyway, but as a player nothing is wrong about wanting to win trophies

[Highway Penguin]

No there isn't, but returning to your old club cause the one you went to won nothing... the fans won't be too happy.

[Lance Knight]

i know what u mean, but i was refering to him leaving liverpool, there was nothing wrong with that, but him going back is just stupid

[Leon of Silvren]

I don't like Reyes!....please don't take away the Golden Boy away!!!.....

There's an article about this move/swap in Marca (for the ones who can read in Spanish, right now I'm too busy (lazy) to translate it and post it here.....:silly: )

[Lance Knight]

its a wonder u made s-mod with your lazyness, lol ahhaa

[Highway Penguin]

To keep the conversation going-

If Perez told you to get rid of 2 players who would they be? Keep in mind, you'd have to keep a few that he likes. Raul, Ronaldo, and Beckham.

Who would oyu pick?

[Aryan]

but morientes and baros, and cisse are still there
Baros is leaving, I heard so.

[Mirko Mandic]

To keep the conversation going-

Who would oyu pick?
ummmm my 2 would be ....... um ronaldo and guti(he deserves better treatment) and if no ronnie then Portillo.

[Highway Penguin]

Baros is leaving, I heard so.

I haven't seen anything in writing yet, so I still consider him playing for us. :)

Anyways, I heard he may leave for Valencia.

[Lance Knight]

Baros is leaving, I heard so.
baros was in talks with Valenica but it broke down and so they just signed 2 new strikers and Di Vio make 3

[RonaldoD08]

baros was in talks with Valenica but it broke down and so they just signed 2 new strikers and Di Vio make 3

Wasn't Kluivert going to Valencia too?

I heard he had some problems with the medical test...

[GiorgioII]

Wasn't Kluivert going to Valencia too?

I heard he had some problems with the medical test...

Kluivert went to Betis instead. But he was close to Valencia apparently yea.

[RonaldoD08]

Kluivert went to Betis instead. But he was close to Valencia apparently yea.

To betis???

Didn't he take a medical test for Valencia? What happened to that???

[Rickster]

so how many strikers does betis have? i know they have fernando and oliviera

[Highway Penguin]

Um, Valencia are just going to give him a 20 day treatment on their grounds. He had surgery 21 days ago.

I haven't heard anything about Betis.

[Lance Knight]

yea they just scheluded another medical at a later date, thats all

[Highway Penguin]

Yup. Not sure where all this talk of Betis came from...

[Ronniestillgood]

What will make it pointless? That he was pichichi with 25 goals?

Forlan will do great at Real. He's pure class.

So Ronaldo scored 21 goals and played 4 matches less than him,Ronaldo and owen are much more consistent,Forlan may have been good this year but for Man U he was worse than shit,so how do you know he wont lose form or start playing bad again.

[Ronniestillgood]

Why? At least he`d be a club starter. Not substitute for worthless Raul ho hasn`t scored for ages.

Are you a Nazi Skin head? just a question.
