Schuster: Who Could Save My Ass?
There are many names mentioned in the press and new ones pop up everyday. I'm only going to talk about those who could move to a club like Real Madrid and not about those who dream and wish they could move to Real Madrid, those including Vanger Love and Amr Zaki (no offense though).
Alright, so lets start with Carlos Teves. He plays for Manchester United but since ever they signed Barbatov he hasn't played that much. He is fast, he has good dribbling skills, good ball control, but what I don't like about him is that he is inconsistent and his attitude on and off the pitch isn't that good.
Additionally, we are looking for one who should be as good as Ruud, someone who could play a similar role and in this case, Tevez isn't the ideal candidate.
Karim Benzema, on the other hand, can to some point do Ruud's job. He can play as a stand-alone striker, he is physically strong, talented and young so he could be used for short-term and long-term purposes, however, there is one problem and that is his club, Lyon.
Their president is a smart person who knows how to negotiate well. Benzema's buy-out-clause is approximately 50m euros and with competition from the likes of Barcelona, AC Milan and Chelsea, it would be pretty hard to sign him.
Maybe Real could instead try with Huantelaar. He is probably going to be a "RUUD Clone", tall, talented and experienced although he is still young. Ajax might be tempted with something like 20m or 30m euros and as long as I know, there isn't any serious competition. One advantage we might have is the fact we have five Dutch players.
To replace a very effective, world-class striker, it is logical to sign someone with the same characteristics and I can't think of anyone available but Crespo.
He isn't seeing much playing time at Inter Milan and we could sign him for short-term purpose. He is old yes, but he is a hell of a striker. He can do what Ruud can do, so I'd be happy to see him in the white shirt. Inter might let him go for 10m 0r 15m euros.
A very effective and YOUNG world-class striker is David Villa whom we tried to sign this summer, but due to Calderon being busy with pursuing Ronaldo, we failed. I prefer him over many others because he is Spanish, talented, experienced, fast and has a good attitude off and on the pitch. I wonder if Valencia would be willing to sell him even for 50m euros.
Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
Hala Madrid!

Madrid need to not waste their money on top players. They need to TRAIN their OWN players from their ACADEMY! That is what it is there for. Leave other clubs alone! You are gonna go bankrupt!
I'd agree with you if we have a complete team right now but given the injuries on the team we need a solution
At first I want to say;I am one of Argentin national team supporter but if related to me no Tavez and Crespo I will take Benzema or Villa whatever they cost espcialy Villa who know spanish league very well.

You are right and we have already some good boys who will become big stars one day,I hope!But if big talents like Benzema say that he would like to play here what would You do?Refuse?BTW MUFC is also very interesting in him!So that is not the problem,the whole history of RealMadrid shows that biggest players come here because they want to play here!
For now I say give the young guys a chance....they are working their asses off to make the 1st team, and every year that goes by real go out and buy big name players and then sell their young talent to other teams with a clause preventing them from playing against us....WHY? If they make us so fearful that we don't want them to play against us....why sell? I am no ManU fan but I always give Sir Alex props for making stars out of and trusting "no name" players. See what the young guns can do and them over the summer if the need arise spend. You think they had to go buy gago and Higuain years ago? no....they could've gotton those positions in the youth team. How many players can you name since the raul/Guti/Casillas generation have come up in the ranks?
madrid need another argentine.. or just a south american.. what about falcao? hez a superb striker, he can dribble, he will score goals.. he is very similar to kun aguero.. what about pablo aimar? he isnt a striker, but he can and will score goals. he needs a big club to reshow his worth, and get recalled for argentina..

for that same reason i think Schuster should be fired ....real madrid need a coach with that talant like Sir Alex to get the best and make stars out of and trusting "no name" players...the players alway saying Schuster don't talk to them and you can see that is true because the palyer is not inproving under Schuster ...it's ok been a tough guy like Schuster....but team with so much young players they need a coach that they can talk too..
But one player who really gets on my nerve is Heinze, WTF is he even there for, all he does is get womped by the wingers of other teams and get involved in silly things which cost us. At this rate, you can expect Barcelona to get some payback for our 4-1 against them last year. Another thing, the problem is NOT Schuster, it's the people around him who havn't given him what he wants and technically it's Mijatovic's responsibility to listen to him whereas he doesn't give a shit. I think that this is just bad run of form and as soon as we start winning again and get our players back, everything should be back to normal. Hala Madrid!

Real madrid from what i saw in the summer were left with 140 million euros because of the sale of robinho and the money they raised for cristiano. So the problem is not the money we can splash out 50 million euros on benzema in the summer and also go for crisitano if he doent sign that new deal. But those two guys will not come until the summer if they do. So i think we need to go for a guy like crespo in the winter just for the short term and buy a centre back. Also i think real are favorites for benzema because we wont hesitate to splash out the money on him like other teams will like barca. Hala madrid
