32. He's getting on, but not finished yet.

 

His legs started to go last season, but used adequately he's still an amazing player. Actually Real Madrid will greatly notice his loss unless Illarra steps up to the plate (or they sign somebody else).

 

I blame Jose but Ancelotti made it even worse. Has played week in week out for the last 3 or 4 years. Last season he had to do even more donkey work with Khedira out (although Modric was brilliant himself). He'll not play as much at Bayern and when he does he'll have to run less - should be brilliant. 

 

Real have started the season with a Kross-Modric partnership hVent they? Illa and Khedira as back-up, sounds exciting at least.

 

 

Think Real will suffer as the Spanish influence in the squad has waned a bit. Last season their starting eleven would have 4 Spaniards (Lopez, Carvahal, Ramos, Alonso) and a further 6 as immediate back-up (Casillas, Arbeloa, Illa, Isco, Jese, the other Spanish striker). Think they might have ended the CL final with 6 Spaniards on the pitch.

 

They actually were very poor against Córdoba with the Kroos-Modric partnership, until Khedira was subbed on and they regained some shape. Sure, Kroos-Modric-James looks FM-tastic, but it's not well balanced.

 

They do have the players to make it work, but I don't think they can have all the glamour men in the pitch at the same time.

 

Fully agreed. Ancelotti stumbled across a perfect balance that could easily play 2 very different formations. Answer? Sell 2 of the key men.

Allardyce is such a moron  :lol:

 

I feel sorry for Gus Poyet's son. Don't know what he was thinking going there.

 

Was just reading today they are the 5th highest net spenders in the PL over the last 5 years, and they are still starting with Carlton Cole :lol: Got to love Big Sam.

I was in stitches when Valencia missed that penalty on Tuesday. Allardyce will bench him into oblivion. He'll just become the new Modibo Maiga.

Monaco say that Falcao can go out on loan for 12million Euros with no permanent clause

 

:lol:

 

Football is going mad. So why are they loaning him out if he's going to be going back there?

Something to do with "restructuring the team " It's probably FFP related.
