Benitez says Benzema will stay at Real

 

[goldb]

Plus he's injured, so no sale.

Now there's new reports that Higuain might be moving to UK, after he rejected new contract terms. As always, just speculations and also I dont think he's been in the best of forms this past year, so I wouldn't want Arsenal to take a gamble on him.

The Pedro to United deal still seems to have not been concluded. I wonder what the hold up is.

 

[Philia]

No. Not Higuain. Even Chuba Apkom and Yaya Sanogo are better than him.

Akpom has been loaned out to Hull City. I think Sanogo too, is on loan somewhere.

 

[Zehahaha]

I can't believe Benitez is putting fucking Gareth Bale behind the strikers when he have Isco/James, dude can't even hold the ball correctly, he's just a fucking sprinter with zero football intelligence ffs, he sucked badly in the game vs Tottenham

After a few games of experimenting in the league with Bale and not getting the best results, I'm sure Perez will "help him see sense" and put an end to it. I cannot imagine the lack of the respect in that changing room lol.

You seem to ignore that Bale is Florentino's golden boy and probably the one who imposed this on Benitez lol
I feel bad for Isco, dude is trying his best but hey, lemme put Bale there cuz my president likes him

That's not what I'm getting at; I understand that Bale cost Real a lot of money, so there's some favouritism there with the president. What I'm talking about is, should Bale's positioning behind the strikers lead to the team losing ground to the league leaders, wouldn't Perez jump in to call for a change?
Or do you think he'd have belief in Benitez and hope the results come in time?

You don't know the man known as Perez, he doesn't give a flying fuck
Perez is the man who sold Makelele, fired Del Bosque for being ugly and not stylish, didn't want to sign Ronaldinho for being ugly

He believes Bale is world class and the best player around, Bale wasn't even needed at Madrid to begin with from a sporting view, but he bought him which led to Di Maria being positioned at the midfield

He has twisted football views, although the moment the team doesn't win a lot of titles, he's in deep shit but it seems that he made precautions... He have 22,5% of Madrid's shares right now

Perez doesn't have faith in anyone, he doesn't like coaches with a strong personality that much, the only time it happened was when he brought Mourinho because it was simply necessary for him and he did whatever Mourinho asked for to some extent (not kicking Casillas out was off limits for him for example even if Mourinho wanted it)

You need to understand something, Perez sees Madrid as something that belongs to him, he wants it to be tied to him the same way it is tied to Bernabeu, when you talk about Real Madrid, you just can't omit Santiago Bernabeu, who is Real Madrid's best president

Douglas Costa is absolutely impressive so far

 

[Philia]

Ramon Calderon is a much better president than Perez for long term prospective. Although Perez looks almost destined to win the next presidential election.

I think Bale is a great player when playing in the left wing. But he hardly gets to do that in Real. Don't forget he was brilliant in his first season specially in important games like CL final & Copa Del Rey final. Perez needs to sell Ronaldo and resign himself for greater good of Real. Ronaldo is turning 31 anyway.

Ramon Calderon is as clueless as him, heck the worst signings ever were made under his mandate and he's also a fraud apparently
Florentino would be a good president if he fucking listens to people who know about football, the fact he doesn't is his only weak point

 

[Philia]

Football wise, Calderon doesn't spend that much rather promotes the youth. Also his signings are good too not superstars but effective players. Perez was a complete fool to sell Robben and Snejider. With them as well as Ronaldo, Real would've been unbeatable.

Promotes what ?
Madrid was and will never be known be for youth development, even under Calderon
Just because he bought a young Higuain and Gago doesn't mean that its youth development... La Fabrica is one of the shittiest formation center out there

Eh Sneijder isn't that good imo, Robben I do agree with that tho

 

[Shasha23]

Hahaha viva la swans luv u

#YNWA

 

[goldb]

Premier League is back! Can't wait to see us play tomorrow. #COYG!

 

[Zehahaha]

MY FUCKING SIDES
Based Swansea

Damn impressed by Leicester tho and even Watford

 

[goldb]

The other team I'm rooting for in the league is my childhood local, Crystal Palace; I hope they have a good season, and try to better on last year's finish. They brought in Cabaye, so hopefully he gets them more points and stays fit to provide more options for the team.

 

[Philia]

United got lucky. Although Darmian looks class.

YAY Chelsea lost

They drew and looks like we're gonna get off to a worst start. 0-2 down already.

Knowing Arsenal, I knew we'd concede first the way that match started but 0-2 down? Fuck me...

Horrible performance, only Chamberlain was decent
But again Mertesacker should fucking leave, I still insist on that + the DM/Striker

Also, can Debuchy fuck off too while we're at it ?

Also, Wenger says Cazorla + Coquelin combination is absolutely good, and yet he plays Cazorla as a winger ? #WengerTactics
