This is this week's edition of the Real Madrid Q&A series on RealmadridTalk. Readers basically ask me questions and I answer them all in one post and open the discussion for everyone. A lot of people send me questions on Twitter and Facebook, but I thought instead of answering them privately and only on these respective sites, I'd instead answer them on the blog so everyone could see the answers and jump into the discussion.

If you have a question, please send it to rajab (@) oleole.com, on Twitter and Facebook...

Jose Mourinho at the Real vs Peñarol post-match press conference I attended on Tuesday.

Real Madrid vs Peñarol was the first match I've attended this season (see the photos I've taken that day here), and after the game I attended Jose Mourinho's post-match press conference (photo above). I sat in the first row and watched him being exhausted but still patiently waiting for the questions from the press.

I didn't have the chance to ask him anything because they said it had to be very short (and that's understandable) and ...

Outside the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium; where the RealmadridTalk Podcast is made.

One of the big changes I've been planning for the blog is re-launching the RealmadridTalk Podcast, recording it more often as well as bringing Real Madrid players, coaches and journalists to join in and discuss everything Real Madrid.

I've also partnered up with my mate Andy May who works for the BBC as well as RealmadridTV to present the podcast and help with recording & editing. Andy is a professional radio presenter and he has been doing it for half of his life!

Anyway, in the first episode of the brand new RealmadridTalk Podcast, Andy speaks to me just outside the Santiago Bernabeu stadium about the new season discussing friendlies, new signings, ...

Royston Drenthe; the first to leave Real Madrid?

Even though Jorge Valdano has said that the club will not be signing any more players this summer, Mourinho has insisted that a third striker is needed and I agree with him.

As I've said before, the season is long and we only have two strikers in Higuaìn and Benzema. Cristiano could still play as a striker, but that still doesn't mean we don't need an additional player to make sure we won't be short on strikers when we have injuries. 

The club, however, doesn't want to make more signings and

The Cibeles Fountain, Madrid.

I know that many of you are wondering where I've been, what has happened to the blog and If I'll ever blog again. Well, this post is to answer all of these questions.

What's Been Going On?

A lot has been going on. If you were following me on Twitter or Facebook, you'd know that I've recently moved to Madrid and that has involved a lot of paperwork, apartment searching and lots of other things, but I'm happy to say that I'm fully settled in the Spanish capital. I'd like to thank my agent Michael Leppard for helping me do all the paperwork and everything else I...

Intro from Adam: many of you have complained about the lack of updates on the blog and since I'm still busy with moving to Madrid, I thought I'd ask one of my blog readers and fellow blogger, Deepak Israni who runs Paseo de la Castellana, to give you a brief update on what's going on at the Bernabeu.

Ruben De La Red

Ruben De La Red is back in training with the team but isn’t doing the normal training but a light physical workout, just to keep him active. Ruben De La Red still hasn’t been given the permission to play or train normally. Meanwhile, he has completed Level 2A of his National Coaching Course, and will commence the Level 3 (final level) of his coaching from 26 November, and will get a diploma...Read Post »

Looking forward to seeing Ronaldo play live at the Bernabeu

So we've recently signed Di Mara, Pedro Leon and the team started training (and by the way, the fixture list is out) I'm honestly excited for a lot reasons (I'll share one of them below - personal update), but for now let my give you my two cents on what's been going on.

Di Maria

If you've been following this blog for a while, you'd know I prefer David Silva over Di Maria for...

Well, guess what? I'm back! And the site has been re-designed and new features have been added!

The last couple of weeks have been hectic for me, and I'll hopefully be able to talk about the stuff I've been working on in the near future, but in the meantime it feels great to be back. I love this blog and it has been part of my life and who I am.

I just would like to apologize to all of you for not devoting more time to the blog and I promise this is going to change very soon.

To kick things off again, here are a few questions some of you sent to me on Facebook & Twitter with my answers. I'd love to...
