Mijatovic Says No More Signings In January, Will That Be The Case?

Thursday, 11 September 08, 07:42 PM · Comments (12)

Mijatovic pissed off

Chill Out Dude, Chill Out...

In an interview with Realmadrid TV, Pedja Mijatovic, Real Madrid's sporting director has suggested that they will not be bringing any one when the transfer window reopens in January.

Although Real Madrid have sold a lot of players this summer (Baptista, Soldado, Robinho ...etc) Mijatovic believes that the club has a full squad in which each of the 24 players is qualified to play for Real Madrid.

“Real Madrid will not make any signings in the winter transfer market,” Pedja said.

“We have a group of 24 players and at this stage, we do not have the intentions of recruiting any new players, although in football, you never know,” he explained further.

Logically, we need to bring a winger because we no longer have Robinho. However, as I suggested in my previous post, there could be a replacement for the Brazilian from the existing team and the candidates are: Saviola, Higuain and Drenthe so it seems that Mijatovic has the same idea.

He was also asked why Real Madrid failed to sign any of their targets of the new season. On David Villa, he explained:

“We made an offer for him, one which we considered sufficient, but his club Valencia made a counter-offer which made it impossible for us to negotiate. We were not about to go mad for him.

But you definitely went ridiculously mad for Ronaldo doing everything you could to steal him from his club. If you are a RealmadridTalk reader, you would know that I have always been against the idea of buying Ronaldo and I have always criticized the tactics both Schuster and Mijatovic used to bring him.

If they were just smart enough they wouldn't have put all of their eggs in one basket.

“As for Cazorla, I was specifically ordered by the president not to be forced to pay his buy-out clause because Real Madrid are great not just because of our achievements but also because of our control and authority.

“And for Cristiano Ronaldo, it was obvious that we wanted to sign him but Manchester United opposed strongly to his sale,” Mijatovic detailed.

Finally, Mijatovic put an end to the rumors suggesting he is not getting well with Bernd Schuster saying that their relationship is "excellent"

“My relationship with Schuster is excellent. We are both top people in charge of our own duties and we speak daily about everything that’s on our agenda,” he assured.

Alright, do you really think that we won't be signing anyone in January? Nah, Mijatovic is a bit economic with the truth here - but tell me what you think.

I'm off to watch the Presidential Candidate Forum on the CNN.

Hala Madrid!

Ahahahahah, nice joke, you made me laugh Mijatovic, we need players and I mean need, injuries will happen again, we will struggle in the CL and to avoid that we need more top-class players and I bet he's just saying that to get attention off us. I can guarantee atleast one signing this winter. Hala Madrid!

you know wat i guess its tym 4 schuster 2 hav a reality chk. Gabi heinze used 2 b a world cls defender in his manu tyms nt now. he is old and he suck. so why not play metzelder there when cannavaro is injured. though he is fit now. sum1 should tell marcelo to practice long crosses down the left, while robben being a natural left footed should b played in the left wing not on the right. As for da defensive midfield is concerned diarra is ok, but he only sits back there, so why not play gago there who can provide both some hard crunching tackles and sublime passes(sumtyms- though he shud improve more on that). I mean cum on, i guess he was da most improved player last yr nd he's only lyk 21! Or even De La Red who was awesum last season with getafe. Talkin abt guti- that guy is a blow hot-cold player. Ya ya he can b da best player in his day nd so can ME! I mean his reaction when he loses da ball so fukin pisses me off man. I mean wtf! you lose da ball u track it back nd help da defence. Dont just stand there with your ass hanging!. Even messi tracks back when he loses da ball. So i propose sub dat asshole and play VDV dere. I mean this guy is sumthing. As for the right, who's there 2 play except for our versatile players- VDV, higuain nd sneijder, as da fact is we don hav a proper right winger. shud hav bought queresma man, but calderon is still having his wet dream with ronaldo. I mean we arnt even sure if he is cumin or nt nd now 4 dat we arnt buyin right wingers! As for the forwards, the way Van GOl is goin he shud play 4 anoder 6yrs! seriously! wel raul, im really disappointed with him. Given his excellent last season, i thot he wud fire da league dis yr, but he looks 2 tired now. Or probably dis is due 2 da lack of quality balls, given dat neither sneijder or vdv played against deportivo and guti was crap! So i don pick higuian! I kno he misses a lot of chances, but he has improvd a lot on that nd he is only 2oi guess! Or even giv saviola a chance.

i mean cum on he is not as that player as u think. He is smart nd quick nd he is intelligient. As we have only 4 forwards with soldado and baptistta moved on, i guess its tym to chk dem out, whether they are capable of staying in da team or not. so here's my ideal lineup -

formation 4-4-2 diamond

Saint Iker

Ramos Pepe Cannavaro marcelo

Gago/De la Red

Sneijder Van Der Vaart robben

Nistelroy Higuian

i mean think of dat sneijder, vdv nd robben were awesum this summer when they played 2gether in the euro. just the sensation of them playing together givs me goosebumps.
Abt guti, im nt saying he is bad, but dat its tym 2 move on, Hes old now. Drenthe can sub robben on the right, and given da versatilty of vdv he can 2 play on the right. Or even y nt play ramos dere if sneijder is injured with torres in the back. I hope u will lyk my comments.

I really dont kno who has taken pot yesterday either me or mijatovic. Coz as far as I'm concerned we do need sum GODDAMNNN signings. I mean just look at the strikers we hav now. Raul is over 31 nd V.Nistelroy is over 34 i guess. They cant possibly play every fukin matches. U must b jokin me! Higuian is gud nd he is improving, and about saviola i am really confused about him. Wat's wrong wid him. He aint dat bad. HE scored 2 goals in 3 starts i guess. Y da fuk doesnt schuster doesnt even giv him a chance. Nd abt raul and guti its not imp dat dey hav 2 play every fukin match. Just look at how fergusen is using giggs and scholes. He knows dat they are over but just bcoz dey are club icons he cant kick dem out as he did wid becks. Schuster can do dat. Play higuain besid nistelroy which will boost his confidence nd man given da chance he has nevr let us down, has he? I really think when sneijder is fit dere is no longer to play guti anymore. Use him in a sub role, just lyk capello did.

I don't think it is surprising what Mijatovic said about no winter signings because if we are doing well by jan, then we will not want to unbalance the squad. If we have injuries then we should look at bringing in either a wide player to back up Robben or a striker if Ruud gets injured. I think we have a great squad and a squad capable of winning the champions league (the tenth). The only negative is the loss of Robinho who i thought brought a unique skill to Real Madrid, but because we were to interested in C.Ronaldo we failed to re-sign a player who was most similar to Cristiano, Robinho
