I tot they got an option that allows them to loan garay until june 2009, no?

what a shame... we pawn by 3rd division club... huhu..  

yup.. i agree.. but, losing to lower division club is unacceptable.. no matter what match it is.. huhu... anyway.. life must go on... just 2 trophy left to be grabbed.. hope we can win at least la-liga.. retain our status as de la Liga de Campeones

No offense here but is that something you want to be proud of?
IMO, Madrid is scoring lots of goals but at the same time leaking lots of them as well.
I thought Schuster going to bring more stability to the defending areas.

able to win the copa del rey or not isnt the issue...

leaking goals to 3rd tier club is the problem......
leaking a total of SIX in both home and away games...

holy thats some shit defending man.....
most of us havent even heard of real Union....

schuster talks bigger than his mouth most of the time.....
although he bring some attractive football to the club.
but he shud keep his mouth shut sometimes.

seriously i prefer capello.
schuster did better when he was at getafe(izzit getafe?).
tat season, they had the best defensive records...

actually, IMO.. u cant compare RM with Getafe.. although schuster is the manager for both.. getafe.. naturally playing with defensive mentality.. but opposite with ours... attack is a must.. entertaining football is essential.. u can see capello.. he won la-liga but still sacked by the top management... why? becoz.. too defensive minded and not entertain enough.. but, i oso agree with u.. when we talk about defensive.. capello is The Don... seriously, i miss clean sheet... 

i saw news at sportcenter...schuster is given ultimatum by real madrid board n maybe will go if he continue the poor form....wtf??? its still too early to sack him...

look at this:

Defeated Real boss Schuster has "no idea"

No idea?? Seem like he still not awake from what the problem is actually in defending of RM !!
Guys.. ask him to come to this forum and read the posts!!!! OMG..

It's normal to bash a team if they are having some tough time. What is not normal is when people call Schuster to step down. Well I don't wanna remind you about how we have the best defensive record last season though this season the same defensive line looked very fragile. But things doesn't change in one night. Perhaps it's because Casillas and several other defenders were too confident about their defensive approach against the minnows especially Ramos.

Did you guys notice that our opponents tend to attack more on our right flank. Lately declined performance of Ramos was an advantage to even a team like Numancia and Bilbao, let alone The Old Lady. But it's not solely his mistake. He claimed that nobody's there to be his backup and you can see the truth where in last several matches when Ramos starts to run with the ball down at the right flank, there's nobody there for him to pass which made him have less options with the ball, either dribble past the opponent or deliver a cross. A good thing is he's improving but we face a lot of threat due to lack of defenders most of the time due to Ramos attacking role in the team.

Canna and Pepe seem to have problem communicate to each other lately. Pepe was running all over the place covering here and there. It's good for a player in secondary school league but not in the league where the Pros are playing and will simply punish your tiniest mistake with a goal. Subsequently, Pepe must stay calm at times and learn to read the game more efficiently. Just look at other world class CBs and you'll perceive the difference. Canna should be the best role model for CBs in our team but, instead of doing that he himself made several silly moves that cost our team goals. Both of them must communicate better to become if not the best maybe a superior pair from what we're having now.

MFs involved only in a small part of defending where they should defend as a team. You can see last season where even Raul came down to help the defence and it worked. Yeah I know maybe some people can argue with me that there are several MFs trying to defend but guys, there's a big difference between defending and chasing shadows. Obviously, our MFs were chasing shadows............. and Casillas... I never thought I'll comment something about him this soon. He needs to do his magic sooner rather than later. Wonder where's the real Saint we use to see every week last season.

There's a lot of other things contribute to our defensive horror but due to lack of time, it's hard for me to share. Maybe some other time. I'm having my exam tomorrow, just trying to post as much as I can.

Do anybody know when will www.madridista.my be available? Please guys, I'm in a quest to find all the malaysian blancos so in future we can all hang out to watch English Premier League on weekends hahahaha! This web can e very handful. chow~ HALAMADRID

real really missed robinho. i dont know why real camp look really mess at this moment. Look at Barcelona, they only take a few month rebuilding their team. They bought really good players, they got really decent players and they also got very good managers. They look strong at all department.

Look at real madrid rite now, defender look shaky in all areas, attacking look weak plus without rvn summore, i think major changed need to be make soon.

just a question heinze is playing centerback ?

marcelo better than him.  

but some time marcelo is too rush.. and keeping growing his skills... he seems adapt robinho + carlos skills..

Marcelo is a promising youngster that showed some great improvement to be a good right wing back. Yes he can help out offensively, yes he has a better chance than anybody right now to be the next R.Carlos but, lets face it, he's a defender who can't defend very well.

I agree with you that he's not good enough to play for Madrid now. But if you realize Marcelo seem to make that mistake almost everytime he's playing. Maybe somebody in the squad should guide him to a proper way of defending. He's a good player and I have faith that he can do well in future. That said, I'm not opposing to the idea of bringing a better LB to Bernabeu.

Where is Pepe? and why dun bring back Garay from Racing then....

is there any genuine interest from Real on Zarate ?

well i bet Arshavin is on his way to Bernabeu. 

I think Zarate can only be transferred at the end of the season since he's playing for Lazio now on loan.

Technically, a player cannot move clubs until he finishes his loan deal.

Correct me if I'm wrong though.

iirc, al-saad can't sell zarate to any club right now because there is a contract that allows lazio to loan him from al-saad for a specific duration. so within that duration, zarate is a lazio player, although they are just "borrowing", as stated in the contract of agreement. of course the loan deal also depends on the t&c in the contract.
