Following Our Nearest and Dearest Rivals, 2014-15

It's strange because it seemed the team had moved on from the Galacticos for a period but then it seems to have done around again.

Other than Klopp (who is meant to be taking a year out), I really don't see who Real could get and I don't know who would want that job.

 

Probably Zidane.

Conflicting reports coming out that Gareth Bale was assaulted by "fans" as he boarded the team bus.

 

Get the f**k out of there man. Now.

 

I despite Real Madrid with a f**king passion.

The last thing we need is Bale. Not to mention how ridiculously over priced he'll be. Hopefully United sign him instead. A much better option and player is Griezman, and if we intend to spend 30mil (plus), we should do it right and make sure that right wing is up to snuff come the new season.

Yup,the last thing we need is a wide right player who scores and assists.

Excellent logic

Bale on one wing, hazard on the other, Willian/Cesc as no.10...a fantasy, but so were my thoughts about jennifer love Hewitt when I was growing up and that was enjoyable to think about

Think tonight finally settled the Ronaldo vs Messi debate...

Ronaldo scored tonight but Bale was Real's biggest threat. Ronaldo was barely involved when his team needed him the most.

Good news is we are still on track to be the first club to win back to back Champions League titles - probably in May 2017

 

didn't you hear? Saudi Arabia have won the rights to host the 2017 CL Final and its been moved to November because it is too hot to  play footy in May

I doubt he'll have the space to dribble and get past defenders if he were with us since teams defend so deep and sometimes within their own box. We need players that can control the ball in tight spaces and under pressure, in addition to the composure to hold it when necessary. There's a reason why Willian excels in our possession game, he can hold the ball well, and he can dribble in tight spaces -- his only issue is his lack of end product. 

 

So as you put it, my logic is that Bale isn't the player we need. At best, he's a luxury player. 

I honestly think Real Madrid are uncoachable at this point. Dressing room full of primadonnas and with the fans the way they are it's an absolute nightmare. The fact that Jose got the sack and Carlo about to get the same treatment it speaks volumes.

 

sh*t club if you ask me.

 

Definitely, the very best coaches in football are getting sacked from that club, it can't always be their fault.

With Bale in the side, teams won't be able to sit back and defend against us as often. The guy is one of the best at long range shooting, you can't just sit back against Bale because he will just smash it towards goal.

Good to hear Juve peed all over UEFA's wet dream of an "El Clasico" Champions' League final. As much as I dislike them, someone has to humiliate our enemies.

 

FORZA JUVE!!!

Unfortunately, I think their defeat increases the risk of them wanting to get Hazard in the summer...

 

They can want him until the cows come home, it doesn't mean they're going to get him. As my great-grandfather (my mum's mum's dad) put it "People in Hell want ice water.  Do you think they're getting it?"

I guess Real will appoint Zidane ( or did I hear someone mention Bredan Rogers?), pay the full fee to get Pogba, buy back Morata and Di Maria, Sell Bale. Everything will be good after that, until this time next season.

This is it. The reason the Madrid fans haven't taken to Bale is not because he doesn't pass to Ronaldo, but because they expected a better player for the money that was spent. For the most expensive player in the team, Bale looks out of place and a step below all their other attacking players in terms of touch, vision, ball control etc. He's still a very good player but overrated by a lot of the English media.

Sorry but comments like this are dumb as hell. Let's rewind to last season shall we Real hammered Baywrn and Ronaldo was at the heart of that. Whilst Barca and Messi did nothing against Atletico. Did that settle the debate aswell?

It's like when people say a player is sh*t basing them off one match, it's just a dumb thing to say.

my man in the know tells me Mark Warburton is flying out via Easyjet to Madrid from Luton to negotiate personal terms 

To sell bread in spain?

All this talk of Buffon 'deserving' a CL medal is like all this stuff going on about Gerrard deserving a PL medal. FFS, no one deserves anything just coz.
