Re: Why Real Madrid dont sign better defenders?

What are you clowns basing their opinions on. Razz

In my book......it's always rate a player's performance off one game than 0.

Ramos had 1 bad game this season....against Valencia.That's literally it.....he has been AMAZING in the rest.

Yet we conceded least goals after barca in CL last year Laughing

Yet we conceded no goals this year CL untill that dead match against Ajax where varane ,albilol ,casado (18 year old kid),altintop at RB...etc Laughing

We have much better defense than arsenal,chelsea,milan etc ....try harder :coffee:

by halamadrid2 Wed Jan 11, 2012 12:50 pm

we didnt even concede against ajax... it was against Dinamo Zagreb towards the end of the game when our players where sleep walking

by Lord Hades Wed Jan 11, 2012 12:58 pm

We would have not conceeded those goals if Ramos was playing instead of albitroll, and second goal was a fluke, misunderstanding between Sahin and Varane.

i like pepe alot, im not sure about ramos at CB but the way rm fans hype him up he most be good so ill leave it at that. personally for me their problem is at the fullback areas mercelo and arbeloa defensively are not good enough to beat barca or win madrid a CL imo. and thats what rm want to do is it not? they want to better barca? so imo, replace the fullbacks and you might be on par with them.

by halamadrid2 Wed Jan 11, 2012 1:20 pm

another not very "knowledgable" poster.....Arbeloa defensively is immense its his attacking that puts him down.....

Marcelo is great both in attack and defence(but more so in attack)

what do you think you need to bridge the gap then? sahin?

by EarlyPrototype Wed Jan 11, 2012 1:29 pm

Bridging the gap between Barca and Real is not as simple as which 1 player could do it.

by Doc Wed Jan 11, 2012 1:37 pm

Seriously though, Ramos has really been pretty good at centre back this season for Real Madrid. No joke, no over hyping, just the truth. I know there is a stigma attached to Ramos being a, how to put it, a knob defender but he has really shown to be competent as a centre back.

Pepe is a bat shit crazy, dirty defender that reminds me a little of Montero (former Juve defender) but he is also a good defender that one can depend on. Has some balance issues but not everyone is a Nesta, Maldini, Sammer, etc.

highburied wrote:Real Madrid defense have been crap until this year.

My point is, they spent hundreds of millions and didnt bother to actually improve their defense.

Ramos is not a top 10 CB... OK OK, he is a right back but hes not a top 5 either.

Pepe is the only Top10 product in your defense but he is very bad when it comes to making a strong partnership.

A pair of regulas CBs have been missing at Real Madrid.

Those who say, there is nobody in the market. Why dont you give Wenger a call? Maybe he can find you another version of Koscielny.

stop being ignorant dude, because you dont watch us on a weekly basis.

Ramos has beeen one of the better performing CB this season, it's undeniable for someone who is watching the game. Instead of riding his bad rep as RB that he cant defend. FOr your information he is a natural CB that we asked to play RB. We have nothing to worry about moving forward because he showed just how beast he will get.

Pepe and Ramos have developed a wonderful pair at CB this season, again, you arent watching, and since the actuality around madrid doesnt talk about it, you are completely ignorant of it.

And stop riding the Hummels cottage, what has he done to be better than Pepe? you cant rest of your previous glories and hope to be rated higher than other players. Both Ramos and Pepe have outplayed him this season.

Defending is the product of a team, not of the CB pair, something for you to learn. this is typical goallegacy fanboy bullshit, dude you dont watch the games and you rate players on reputation alone. Hummels is amazing, since no one criticize him. Pepe kicks someone ==> dude cant defend. Ramos bad defending at RB last seasons ==> Ramos is not a good defender.

And to highlight just how ignorant of things you are, you advise us to sign Sime Vrslijko? are you serious? get off that Football Manager bs, he is a complete noob, but it's ok right? since Arsene wanted to sign him he is surely world class.

I asked you which defenders we should sign to beat barca since you thought it was so easy, and i couldnt get an answer. Instead you went in classic arsenal fapping fanboy mode and started hyping koscielny and vermaelen, lol. They have done nothing this season that Pepe and Ramos havent done.

Great reply. I agree with you entirely. Thats why I think the main thing needed is a destroyer midfield or someone who can shield the defence. Messi, Xavi and Iniesta all like to operate in the holes. Pepe's shown he's capable of playing there, so another CB could be brought in to replace Albiol & Carvalho, but I don't know who would be on the market. There aren't too many DMs in the mould I'm talking about. Toure was a beast with Barca and so I believe he could do it, but he's still quite loyal to the Catalans. De Jong may be a thug, but I think he has some of the right qualities.

Ideally however, I'd go with a quality CB and put Pepe at DM (this is for a match against Barca).

And lol at Koscielny being better than Ramos...

It's not that simple because if you stick someone deep, then you end up having those gaps between the defense in the attack, since Alonso is not going to run back and forth supporting the forwards and the defense. He isnt that kind of player, and his lack of ball playing skills is also a problem.

I will never understand why people are trying to force Pepe so much in that role, im not a fan at all. He is not the most composed footballer in the world, and i think he will waste a lot playing Center midfield. A reality is that we are going to have the ball more often than 90% of teams, so we need competence on the ball in the center midfield to make sure that it's fluid.

The reason Khedira is working so well for us is because he is able to do a better balancing work than anyone. In terms of positioning, and the support he gives to everyone.

People are talking about De Rossi signing for us if he doesnt re-sign for Roma, maybe it's gonna help, but even De Rossi is also a pretty slow dude lol.

Yes off course...

If people didnt know Real Madrid fans lol..

Once Ramos starts sucking balls at CB, they cry to move him to RB and yes, hes a natural ... sorry what?

Its pathetic how none of rm fan boys didnt get this thread..

Over hundred of millions spent on midfield and attack, and close to nothing has been done to improve your defense.

Im not saying RM is not a WC team but they are not even close to Barca and Bayern.

You should ask yourselves... What went wrong with back to back defeats to Barcelona while spending more? What went wrong to CL defeats ?

Real Madrid is one quality CB and one quality RB short of having a really wc team.

He is a natural Center Back, RB is a position he learned to play to help us.

When Ramos start sucking we will worry about it then, dont sully the reputation of a player because you are anticipating some kind of future in which he wont be good, complete joke.

most of the madrid fans in this thread, including myself admitted we could have spent better, but you completely ignores the fact that our CBs are being quality this season. But it's no fun when madrid fans admit to a mistake right?

He is saying that you guys keep suggesting that we sign players like it's going to be a solution for everything while our group is still fairly young, and maturity can take players a long way. We do need to solve the RB situation but we might not need an offensive player in that position because there has to be a balancing between both fullbacks position, and the type of midfielders we play. Efficiency means the team getting better overall, players defending more, helping more, players improving. Remember we are only in our second cycle.
