THE LIVERPOOL SNATCHES TO MADRID THE DRAFTEE OF ALCALA

 

The youthful one of the Malaga could have signed already with ' reds'

 

The Liverpool has snatched to Real Madrid the draftee of the youthful power station of the Malaga Pedro Alcala (18 years; 1.88 meters). This one could have already signed a contract with reds thanks to the work of Alpaca of Grace, present collaborator of Rafa Benítez and old person in charge of the madridista quarry next to Ramon Martinez and Alberto Giráldez.

 

Madrid has failed to take advantage of the occasion to file to one of the more promising values of future of Spanish soccer when not wanting to disburse no amount of money beyond which it would have to pay by the rights of formation of the power station, that at the moment plays in the youthful one of the Division of Honor.

 

Madrid takes making during this season an exhaustive pursuit to the player and has negotiated in several occasions with Jose Seat, its representative, but it has not reached an agreement.

 

Alcala, that saturated in the club presided over by Fernando east Sanz summer coming from the youthful Ranero, wants to improve its contraactual situation since, although trains assiduously with the first equipment and that already it has entered a call in Second (it makes two days before the Numancia), still it has youthful contract. Alcala wishes or one professional and the only one who offers it is the Liverpool, since or it did months ago with another malaguista: Francis Durán.

 

Meeting.

The Malaga still trusts being able to convince to the power station so that it continues his progression in the Rosaleda. That yes, improving its conditions. This late, without going more far, a meeting between the president of the Malaga, Fernando Sanz is anticipated, the trainer of the first equipment, Lopez Muñiz, and the own soccer player to try to reach a utópico agreement, because in Liverpool already the hands rub...

 

Three power stations will go away of Castile

Michel wanted to file to Alcala since the season that comes Castile will count on several losses in the defense center. In her no longer they will be Sergio, Santacruz neither Ángelo, that finishes contract and will have to look for an exit, nor Sergio Sanchez. This one will comprise of the first group as long as Madrid pays to the Espanyol the purchase option that it has by him by five million euros. They will remain in the branch Agus and Tébar.

We really must be struggling for decent young CBs. We've got bloody tonnes of them:

 

Roque

Antwi

Hobbs

Smith

Huth

Paletta

O'Donnell

 

And now Alcala, not to mention the U18s. Agger isn't exactly old either.

Rafa loves his young centre backs.

 

Thought he'd abandoned them for midfielders for a while there but now he's back!!!

And his Spanish speaking ones at that! If they can't communicate in English just buy a load of Spanish speaking ones so they can!

 

Antwi

Roque

Huth

Paletta

Alcala

 

Might as well through Insua in there as well and Arbeloa too!!! ;):popcorn:

What I think he is trying to do is get players in to fill positions where he does not want to be spending money on. This will free up money to purchase the more expensive acquisitions such as centre forwards, attacking midfielders etc.

 

What does anyone else think?

Sounds credible. I reckon you can probably coach being a good defender a lot easier than coaching a player to be a good attacking player too.

The nasty rumour doing the rounds inside the Camp Nou is that Rafa only signed Arbeloa to stop Ronaldinho over the two legs in the CL then he is going to sell him back to Depor

 

I laughed my a*** off when I was told.

Great rumour considering he marked Messi in the first game anyway. (And marked him out of the game aswell)

That's why I pissed meself.

 

Apparently they can't think of any other reason why he was bought. :rolleyes:

That's a strange one, does that mean that Arbeloa had previously done well against Ronaldinho?

Yes - in his game aagainst Barca - he played the Brazilian off the park too

 

Arbeloa methinks is a bragain :)

Presumably their thinking is that he'd be great against two of the best players in the world, but won't be able to hack it once he faces Kilbane and the other fine wingers of the premiership... ?

 

By the way, on the Grauniad footie podcast they were saying the Spanish press in general were quite impressed with Liverpool in the first leg and more complimentary than some of the English press, who, on seeing Liverpool win could only suppose that it was down to luck. That seem the reaction out there in Spain?
