Laugh at Madrid

[Figaro]

They have the 'New Pele' - Robinho.

 

The 'New Redondo' - Gago.

 

and now The 'New Beckhenbauer' - Metzelder

 

 

 

Add to that the fact that Atletic Madrid have

 

The 'New Van Basten' - Torres

 

The 'New Maradona' - Khun Aguero

 

 

I don't know why we all don't stop playing football now and let them win everything...

[ManxRed]

Plus I suspect they'll have 'The New Manager' soon as well.

[Gray - YPC]

Gago's quality isn't he? All the reports I've ever heard about him seem to say he's the real deal...

[Diarmuid]

Metzelder is the new Beckenbauer? Jesus, no wonder they're so s****.

To be fair, Gago has been the dog's when I have seen him. He was the only one willing to take responsibility and show for the ball against Bayern and that as a youngster who has only just arrived.

people on here were gagging for us to sing him a while ago ... how things change

[Guest Anders Honoré]

Metzelder is class and will be a good signing for them if he stays fit.

 

comparing him to beckenbauer or sammer is ridiculous though.

[Bailo]

When did they get Metzelder?

[Guest]

negotiating atm to arrive on a free

I know he's a good player, but 'new Beckenbauer' that's just ridiculous.

I quite agree. He talks nowhere near as much s**** as Beckenbauer does....

[Silencio]

Madrid should be signing Europe's best young defenders like we have done with Agger and Man U with Vidic. Metzelder is a good player though and Gago seems very promising.

[Guest John Mal]

What are the chances they'll go all out for for Rafa in the summer? And would he be tempted?

 

I think he'd be mad, personally. He's been building something for the long term here and it would be a shame if he left and was then sacked after a couple of seaasons at Madrid, which is often the norm.

That's definitely true.

[Skillz]

Aguero for AM looks ok to me, not maradona but i wish we had him

[Benzo-13]

Metzelder is a good player alright.

Though injuries have laid him low a lot in the last three years.

 

Had a great World Cup though.

They've got no chance - he knocked them back twice, and that was before new owners, money and a new stadium definitely being built. Rafa's not interested in circuses.

[Leo No.8]

Every time I see Madrid Sergio Ramos looks the only player of theirs I'd really like us to have. Partly because he's the only one who looks like he gives a f*ck!

 

He's quality though - love the way he storms upfield when they are behind and almost always caused the opposition problems. He's got ability alright but he has heart as well.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Since when was Redondo the bench mark for new talents to esteem to ?

 

Not saying he wasnt a bad player, that flick at OT was quality when they won 3-2, but calling someone the New Redondo ?

Redondo was a brilliant footballer but suffered horribly from injuries; he actually requested Milan stop paying him towards the end of his career because he'd played so little for them which was a very noble gesture.

 

Gago should throw himself down the stairs if he wants to be like Redondo...
