Hey everyone! Happy New Year! :) Kristen here. :)
So, I was on my daily rounds of the transfer websites and the same thing was coming up on all of them, the Jermaine Pennant story. Earlier today, he was quoted as saying that he would like to leave Liverpool and go to Atl. Madrid. Then, later in the day, he was quoted as saying that he is "flattered" that Real Madrid have an interest in him and that he KNOWS 100% that Real Madrid has talked to Liverpool about him. He then later said on guillembalague.com that he would look into going to Real.
AHHH! It is all so confusing. Jermaine, please make up your mind!
But, you have to admit, this is the "beauty" of the transfer market. You have to love it. So, I ask you, do you want Pennant in the squad, and if you do (or don't) why?
So, anyway, just thought that was something "interesting" that I found.
Anyway, Happy New Year!!
HALA MADRID!

46 Madridistas have commented on "Please Make Up Your Mind Jermaine!!" · Add yours
I would take Luis Antonio Valencia over him because Pennant had some legal troubles before and is not always determined to play hard as you can see he has barely played for liverpool.. Antonio Valencia on the other hand has la liga experience and is younger and looks like the better player because he has liverpool and manchester united also intrested as i heard .. Real Madrid should buy Valencia
This crap about Pennant is just rumors. He is nowhere near good enough for Real Madrid. NOWHERE NEAR. Valencia is quality but I have my doubts about his consistency and whether he could cut it in Madrid. Seriously this Pennant stuff needs to be ignored. It is not serious
"So, I ask you, do you want Pennant in the squad, and if you do (or don't) why?" No offence man but have you seen Pennant play? He is a championship class player at best. I believe that most real madrid fans will agree with me when I say he would not be a welcome addition to the squad. If Pedja is trying to sign this guy then he deserves to be fired immediately. Hell im better than Pennant.
okay im gonna make this short cause im really losing my patience with pedja !!
THE ONLY REASON PEDJA WANTS TO SIGN PENANT IS CAUSE HE'S THE CHEAPEST AMONGST THE LIKES OF DI MARIA , VALENCIA AND ASHLEY COLE !! He'll cost 3-5 million pounds
this really makes me sick !! since when real madrid are so cheap !!
Reply to kid_rock:
I think none of the Madridistas would look up to Pennantm, how would we sign a liverpool bench warmer for?? there is not point for this. Even though he is cheap, we still shouldn't waste money and time on some useless players. This is a shame to see real madrid acquiring such a guy. Pedja, how many mistakes you want to make?? stop it!! you are ruinning our team.
Reply to kid_rock:
Agree....Penant will adds nothing to REAL MADRID!!!
lets be honest know! look who we are talking about Pennant! this guy has only made like 3 starts this season! he will not bring any positive effort to a great team lie Real! comeon guys Real needs a winger like Quaresma, Di maria, Lennon, Young, Ribery, but not pennant. REAL MADRID IS JUST TOO MUCH OF A CLUB FOR A PLAYER LIKE HIM!
i admitt we all agree on someting this time , this player's place is barely in liverpool , sometimes i just miss the glacticos era we had the best of the best , and now we are looking for players who are not even productive at their home teams jeeez , i would take valencia over him on any given day ...... any news about Di maria ?
i have a question since when did cash mean poop to real madrid we are one of the richest teams on earth if not the richest .... one more thing does anyone know when da hell does pedja's time period finish ? cuz honestly i have a feeling that this fella is greedy and cheap looking for players that fits ( the price ) not the ( quality ) we need.
anyway the upcoming signing should appear within the next few days , if ribery is out of reach i really do wish we sign di maria or valencia FOR NOW only .
I hope ribery gets our full attention in the summer and god damn it hope claderon label him as our hottest target pluss benzema thats for sure those are the players Madrid shouldnt be turning their back to . HALA MADRID
If Bayern asked 60m for Ribery....why don't they just go and sign him right now?....about Pennant I think he would be a good Real Madrid substitute...I personally don't think he doesn't play well...I think Real should sign Ribery + Pennant or Mancini in January...that way we'd have 3 gr8 wingersand Diarra
that should have been Drenthe not Diarra lol
Pennant haha!! Diarra for 20M hahahah!! Hunter for 17M hahahaha!! Someone bring the straight jacket coz Calderon and Mijatovic have lost the plot! Look at the difference in class on our starting 11 with the european and world champions Man UTD! We have cassillas and maybe ramos that are world class.. they have ronaldo, rooney, berbatov, tevez, nani, anderson, giggs, scholes, carrick, ferdinand, vidic, evra and now the new wonderkid Rafael. No comparison!!
Reply to Madridinho:
How many of the Utd players you named are World-Class!? Berbatov is over-priced, Nani and Anderson are too young, Scholes and Giggs are past it. Ferdinand and Vidic are World-CLass. Evra aint and nor is Carrick. So you named 4 World-Class players along with squad memebers. Our starting XI tops Utd on nearly every front. The problem is our lack of depth and injuries. Man Utd have that whereas we don't. As for 20m for Diarra, yeah, that's bad but 17m for Huntelaar is fair. Considering the fact that they were asking for 30m from Man Utd, it's VERY fair. I really doubt Juande's going to let Pennant come here, I mean common, second-rate players don't belong at Real Madrid. And I agree, since when is money the problem, we're Real Madrid! Hala Madrid!
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
Youre having a laugh when u say evra is not world class, name me a better left back in the world, that just shows ur bias.. no wonder they sold us gaby! How can u say we have a better 11, no one on here believes that. Berbatov is world class..for Man UTD he has played 18 scored 7 and assisted 5..for bulgaria 64 appearances 41 goals. For spurs 102 appearances 46 goals..every player takes time to settle. AngelOf Madrid you are the most biased person on here many have noticed and u shoot down anyone making a constructive pount
he's crap
Reply to Madridinho:
If you're a Man Utd supporter you should just go and speak on a Man Utd supporters blog...how can you only name Casillas and Ramos as world class?!?!What happened to Cannavaro,ROBBEN,Sneijder,Van Nistelrooy (and others)...I'm sure that if you compare the starting 11 of Man Utd and Real Real would win by far...(I've tried it)
Reply to Madridinho:
Evra? you must be joking me, Marcelo is better than him,he's still young,dont even talk about world class players,talk about WORLD CLASS TEAMS,Real Madrid is a world class team with a world class players e.g:Casillas,Ramos,Canna,Marcelo,Pepe,Sneijder,VDV,ROBBEN,Van Goal,RAUL!.........................just all team is world class!
,
by da way why are you calling yourself Madridinho?! if u are a Red Bitches supporter?
Reply to MadridistAli:
I LIKE THE WAY YOU DO BUISNESS !!!
screw man utd and especially that jar HEAD ALEX FAGGOTSON !
wont sell us a virus haaa ? thats why he is begging his players to stay in his team and abandon their childhood dream to play with US .... 100% with you ALI Marcelo could run circles around evra LMAO what evra ?
HALA MADRID !!!!
No need for Pennant!Valencia would be much better!If..And Fergie is still scared,that is why is he so full of poison..
Reply to redsNblues:
Thanks for the back-up guys, appreciate it. Madridinho, lets do the XI comparison first. Casillas>VDS, Ramos>Neville, Brwon or Rafael, Ferdinand and Vidic>Pepe and Canna, Evra>Marcelo, Robben>Nani and Park, Sneijder and VDV>Scholes and Carrick, Ronaldo>Drenthe, RVN>Berbatov, Rooney>Higuain. Lets do the math: Real Madrid - 6, Man Utd - 5. That's for that argument. And no Evra is not World-Class, sorry, that's the truth. Though my friends here are going a little overboard saying Marcelo is better, Evra has nothing but pace. A true left-back is Chiellini, never seen one like him in this decade. Berba and World-Class, they are two terms that should never be linked, EVER. For Spurs, he was very good but considering the fact that Spurs have been second-rate for the longest of times, it's nothing special. Don't tell me you're going to call Amr Zaki, Tim Cahill and Agbonlahor World-Class though they have immense potential, it takes a lot to be World-Class. Berbatov for what was it, 32m! Don't make me laugh mate. He's barely worth 18m and my Man Utd supporting friend agrees completely. I mean common, you're benching Tevez who is pretty near to World-Class to an over-priced, under-performing player. It makes no sense how a Real Madrid fan could doubt a team with such immense potential. And btw, I am not biased, I know we'll end up not winning the CL and League but I have hopes. I hate it when people criticize me for that. Let's be honest, we do suck at the moment. We get laughed at, play badly and fans like you leave the team stranded but I think positively my friend. It's all a matter of opinions, you have yours and I have mine. Hala Madrid!
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
Well said Angel. Evra is a good player but he is not world class and not the best leftback in the world. I think Inter's Maicon is probably the best leftback right now. I'm not bashing Man U because they are a great squad and they have some world class players like Tevez, Shrek(I mean Rooney), Ferdinand, VDS. And Man U has great potential like Rafael and Anderson. As for this Pennant thing, it's a complete joke. If we really bid for this third string player I'm going to personally fly to Madrid and burn a Mijatovic effigy in protest for the disgust that he has brought to this club.
I don`t like Pennant in the squad. I prefer Di Maria or Valencia. My favorite is Di Maria I really would like to see him in Real Madrid.
Reply to Madridinho:
I believe that the only thing that real madrid lack is one unstoppable player. united have ronaldo, barca messi, chelsea drogba and unfortunately for us Liverpool have torres AND gerrard... and etc etc. The point is that if you take these players out of their teams then the teams are no longer on another level to real madrid. seeing as though we don't have the power to take these player out, we should look to bring in a player who can get to this level. these include players like ribery and aguero who teams are finding difficult to stop.
)
As for the bias thing everyone is biased in some way. Seriously marcelo is not better than evra and if you think he is then... well your definetly a real madrid fan. In my view both teams only have 2-3 world class players each united have ferdinand, ronaldo for sure and maybe rooney and real have casillas and ruud and maybe robben. what both team have alot of is players who hare close to becoming world class, these are evra, vidic, berbatov, tevez, sneijder, VDV, pepe, ramos, not to mention younger players who are showing alot of promise: marcelo, gago, higuain, huntelaar, nani, anderson, rafael (you can see my bias here by me naming more real madrid players
United may seem better than real because all their players are performing and real's are not but it is only a matter of time. united are near their peak, they can't get much better, we on the other hand have been going up from rock bottom for the last 3 years and we have a long way to go yet. once we do find the missing link in real madrid then we are going to DESTROY everyone including Ronaldo FC...... sorry i mean man u
Also forgot to talk about pennant. the simple answer about real madrid gtting him is: (drum roll)...... NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply to MadridistAli:
Even though Marceo is not better than Evra. There are many left backs in the world are better or in the same leve of him, Philip Lahm and Clichy are two of them. This is real madridistas' blog. If you are Man Utd fan, just go to have fun in Man Utd's blog. Even though Real Madrid has a broken squad now as a supporter we should still be by the team's side. Man Utd has a better squad than ours but they are not guaranteed to take down real madrid if madrid can play them with full team. And if real madrid can sign just a few more world class player we still can beat Man Utd !! Hala Madrid.
Pedja, stop this type of crappy signning!! we need some world class players in the squad since Real Madrid is the best team in the world. And this type of 2nd rate bench warmer doesn't deserve a chance to contaminate our team.
Reply to helmet_09:
Maicon is a pure rightback, not a left back
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
You never saw a left back like Chiellini in the decade? are you insane...i cant believe you,Roberto Carlos is the best Left back in the world according to FIFA's president,Roberto Carlos is way Way better than Chiellini,you dont have to make an opinion its simple: Roberto Carlos the best left back in the HISTORY,and Marcelo is going to be the second one
Reply to MadridPrince:
i cant believe you guys,our only world class players are V.Nistelrooy,Casillas and Robben? whats wrong with you? where is Raul, i think he is the first world class player in Real Madrid,then Casillas,then the others but Raul is on the Top of the list!
Reply to MadridistAli:
Roberto Carlos was a full-back, Chiellini is a defensive left-back. Undoubtedly, Carlos was the best left full-back of the decade
But seriously, Chiellini is amazing, his consistency is just shocking, I don't think he's ever played badly
We could really use him on the left and good thing is he's like Ramos, he's also a centre-back. Heinze sucks and I really doubt he'll prove his worth.
This is our chance, I think it's time we pounce. Forget Villa for now, we should go for Silva as soon as possible. Though, the problem is the damn UEFA Cup! He's registered for it
We should still make use of it though. Hala Madrid!
Valencia have made an official statement stating that they will consider bids for both David Villa and Silva
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
They said they will only sell them for an extraordinary offer..they will probably ask for 80m + Gago or something similar...just as they did in the summer
...Man City might get them though...since they're in a different league and have way more money
Reply to MadridistAli:
be serious. raul is well passed it and the only thing he is good at now is leading the team, nothing more. the guy doesn't even get into the spain team. if he was world class still then the likes of guiza wouldn't be ahead of hm
wow you guys are getting realy desperate sad to see one of the biggest if not the biggest club in the world crawling on the ground well good to be a cule but i would rather realmadrid were at thier best because that make it fair it doesnt feel right been so many points ahead with how many injuries you have i realy feel for you at least you have some of you injured back healthy
Reply to Ad1gun:
Don't worry, we'll give you a run for your money
And btw, you should know this rumor is bs. If there's any truth, I will start an Anti-Mijatovic campaign
I mean common Jermaine Pennant deserves to be in the Championship not at the biggest if not best club in the world. We have the money and the prestige to go for better players, this is utter stupidity
Hala Madrid!
We dont need him we need a guy like Valencia or lennon. Than in the summer we get Ribery and benzema because they both want to suit in the white shirt and the have shown intrest in playing together.
Reply to felipe:
Agreed
Look guys if shit ass ronaldo would just rebel and say he doesnt want to play for manchester he would be better for several reason. Like he is the best in the world and for marketing reasons. But he doesnt seem like he wants to come so i thing Ribery is the best option. But the main transfer target should be Benzema because by next year he will be the best forward in the world.
guyz its look like realmadrid have contacted bayern for Ribery and they are ready to sell.....it goes like this from realmadrid.dk "Real Madrid have made contact with Bayern Munich for star winger Franck Ribery.
Marca says Real received encouragement from Bayern when registering their interest in the France star.
Bayern are prepared to sell Ribery - for £50 MILLION."
i hope real could buy him
HALA MADRID!
This shows why real are the best of all time all great players want to play here not shit ass
barca (farca) Benzema regected them and now ribery wants to play for us. And does ribery play on the left or right i was wondering cause i have seen him play both
Lawd have mercy!

was trying to get this to adam but can't send message to him
realfreak, is that the link to the "La Liga Team season ..."?
If not, has anyone else read the Real & Arsene Wenger story yet?
LINK;_ylt=At8iFxr4hcrPy3UY7O9eZ5Umw7YF?slug=go-wenger123108&prov=goal&type=lgns
hope i did that right.
Wenger is a very good manager,an excellent one!And he never had that luck to win the CL!But let we see Juandes succeses now!!
Reply to felipe :
Ribery is a right winger but he is excellent so he changes wings, something like Robben does...
Reply to Brawley7:
yeah it names to La Liga team of the season so far. Only Higuain from Real made the side....No Casillas. No Ramos
As for the Wenger story, Real should not sign him cause the club has been linked with him every year for the past 4-5 years and he blanked them over and over. Now that he's in job trouble he may come. Screw him. Let him go coach Arsenal's B or C team. He loves them so much!
i think mijatovic has some sort of mental illness. when the manager tells him to get someone like villa or silva, he looks at the players at the highest level and goes after the likes of c.ronaldo. when manager tells him to buy players like young, vlencia, he goes to lowest level he can and goes after really crap players like pennant.
FIRE MIJATOVIC - HIRE ZIDANE. atleast everyone (except materazzi) respects zidane and he would conduct business in respectable fashion. he also believe in developing youngsters which is a good thing for real
Hala Madrid. and FIRE MIJATOVIC!!!!!!!!!
How can a Man Utd fan claim that RVN is not world class? He scored 150 goals in 5 seasons for you guys? As for Calderon and Mijatovic I personally think they ae idiots and should be replaced by people who will take Real Madrid back to the heights of 2002-2003.
Reply to MadridPrince:
i totally agreed, mijatovic deserves to be fired. he is not suitable to this jo
