after guding sevilla to 3rd jimenez has been given.... a 1 year contract

del nido is a wazzock

Saw that earlier, it seems the powers that be at clubs like Sevilla, Valencia and Atlético seem to think that they should be able to catch up at the top almost instantly and don't seem prepared to give people time. Vicious circle.

And its only thanks to Monchi's influence that he's been kept on at all. Unfortunately I think Jiminez, as long as he continues with a rather more conservative style of play, will always be living in the shadow of Juande Ramos who won trophies and played attractive football.

Madrid presidency down to Perez alone now with Ribery ready to sign for 45m Euros

bad news for a certain someone on here. big story in this morning's paper that if (when) perez gets in he's going to bring in pellegrini from vila-real as his new manager.
cazorla to follow?

Pellegrini seems to be the front runner and IMO would be an excellent choice - So I'm sure Florentino will find a reason to snub him and choose someone else. Maybe if he asks Arsene Wenger for the 900th time he might say yes.

and don't forget kaka is going to sign this coming week. i was a bit unsure but this week he re-iterated for the 273rd time that he's happy at milan and wants to finish his career there, so it's nailed on.

Pellegrini? That sounds way too sensible for Perez.

Then again, he'll probably have sacked him by December anyway.

Things could seem to occur this way.
With Ribery coming in, and having Robben and Ronaldo nearly signing for the 652nd time, do they need Cazorla?

Took my car in for it's MOT today at a mates work and while I was waiting, two fellas were speaking about Madrid and Ronaldo. One of them said Ronaldo to Madrid in exchange for Snjeider, VDV and Higuian plus £20m to Man Utd.



Tbh wouldn't suprise me if VDV left soon.

VDV to Chelski maybe but Real will keep Higuain, maybe not Sneijder tough

I agree with that, Can't see VDV staying at all. Would like Higuain to stay at all costs and Sneijders too inconsistant imo.

I would much rather see Ribery sign and someone like Ibrahamovich (Spelling) sign rather than just Ronaldo.

Will Garay come straight into a starting centre half spot of will Madrid have someone else lined up too?

Wasn't you was it?

cannavaro gone and metzhelder hasn't really convinced.

That's what I mean surely they will be looking at possibilities?

Heard a while ago that Madrid were interested in Macion (sp?). So would that see Ramos shipped out or moved back to CB?

isn't he being linked with a move to lazio?

Don't have a clue, bit of a step down for Brazils first choice RB isn't it?

Atlético make uncharacteristically easy work of doing something by beating Almeria 3-0 to clinch 4th place, Forlan scores another belter to take his tally to 32.

Villarreal and Valencia both win to take the Europa League spots.

Not a bad campaign in the end for Atletico, 4th spot and an unlucky exit from the Champions League without losing a game.

They've already made a couple of decent signings for next season as well, Juanito and Sergio Asenjo.

pichichi and golden boot

Fantastic achievement for Forlan.



alot of his goals are pretty hard to score also, if he could put away more 'sitters' he would have had plenty more.

scored a peach toneet
