Dude, VDV is no way average...He's like the ronaldinho/kaka/juninho of Hamburg..
Seriously, he's established just as much as sneijder...
You saw how destructive they were in euro...
together with RVN and Robben, this attack is ruthless...

wow..robinho leave?
To ski???
Then makes arrival of C ronaldo even more probable..
Well, why not, financially you guys are so capable of bringing in high profile players.

woot guys...
U all got Juven and Zenit...To me its the group of death, but real woldn't have any problems going through, i suppose?

Who's the troll again?
Just becoz ur u/n is raul, u can just come and post 1 liners? LoL

Anyway...Come on, that amount for robinho?I say its totally worth it..
Besides, u guys got robben there, no?
Let us fight it out for the title this year, shall we?

Its not really between us anymore...
Both teams had a slow start...
See who's up there after 2 games, rite...Espanyol
They might have not as much depth as real or barca...But they sure have consistency...

wow your outkast robinho just scored a hattrick

but so far u guys oni lost to juven...other than that, u guys would easily see it thru to the playoffs
And the copa, which is last on schuster's priority list...
In the league, although real are leaking goals but u guys still manage to keep pace..so still very much contenders..

Its not that he doesn't know the problem is in defence...
Even if he hasn't been attending the matches, just by knowing real's recent results already easily tells half the story..
The one he doesn't understand, and neither do we, is how a string of world class defenders, proved so stable last season, is leaking like the ladies' days of the month...Just won't stop..lol
IMHO, in this case, Casillas usually is a reliable tampon, but now even he cant be as reliable as before, because the defenders are playing too badly, opponent players gets nice shots and headers..Casilla cant do much about..

aaron lennon?Oh RLY?
Sos anybody?

coz he played in UC not UCL

u guys against liverpool..how??

Dun get me wrong but either judging by current form or by the best football from both players i'll say Messi is the superior one no doubt..
Robben is a very pacey and skillful player and would be a good addition to any team but to compare him to messi?? or even better than messi??
erm...i beg to differ

Well splurge might be good for club building, but english youth academies are far from their spanish counterparts..
Just take a look at any EPL clubs, how many are actually product of their own academies?There might not even be one on the starting line up..Heck even Rafa Benitez is from Castilla...
Madrid has Guti, Casillas, Raul and a few more playing at other clubs, while Barca has even more, like puyol, pique, xavi, iniesta, messi, valdez.
And what do EPL clubs do? Buy starlets from us, like dos santos, fabregas, alonso, Luis Garcia.

I see u guys are far more active than us in the transfer window~
I see u might even land villa and alonso... Congrats for all the signings so far, though thoroughly overpriced but marketable players earn u back the money almost instantly...
I dun see this as a bad thing, more talent to la liga, the better... Increase the competitiveness of la liga, improve the whole league.. Lets show the world, its not just english clubs who can thrive in this financially catalyzed football world...
The only sad thing is, the whitewash of dutch players... KJH, RVN, AR, WS, VDV, drenthe... They're gonna find it real hard to compete for starting places... Unless of course, some of them are included in the trade for villa, making valencia still as competitive as ever, and retaining talent in la liga...
However, i would still like to see villa come to Barca... Its an arms race now... haha... good luck to u guys, and us

I tot u guys signed raul albiol... I mean he is not as famous as kaka/CR/Benzema but still..He is a very good signing!!!

"Benzema will become Florentino Perez's fourth signing since returning to the Madrid presidency a month ago, following the arrivals of Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Raul Albiol. The deal will take Madrid's summer spending to over 200m euros."
From soccernet, sorry lazy to quote and hyperlink

Although i'm a Barca fan, but still i'm very happy Real is doing this.. Lets give those english clubs a run for their money.. And we from barca can only say, bring it on!!! And may the better team win.
