According to AS.

Well... that's not a very good sign.

please not another herniated disc situation....

We are not desperate for him atm, and prolly begging of the season so he should focus on hes recovery.

by hrealmadrid Thu Jun 23, 2011 2:25 pm

That sucks, hopefully most of the squad is fit, particularly those coming back from the Copa

by Mr Nick09 Thu Jun 23, 2011 2:33 pm

This kinda makes our DM/B2B situation a bit precarious, 3 man midfield ftw

by Onyx Thu Jun 23, 2011 4:04 pm

Looks like we'll have to keep one of our other backups longer.

Official Announcement:
Real Madrid C. F. player Hamit Altintop will undergo surgery on Monday 27 June in Germany on an L3-L4 discopathy with mild discal prolapse. The injury was diagnosed after the player experienced some pain and conservative treatment failed to have a positive effect on it. Real Madrid's Medical Services have recommended surgery to take place during the player's vacation.

Where was his original position anyway? He wouldn't be missed, it'll pretty much be like the Gago situation last season. I still think Mourinho would use the double pivot more often than not next season, and will resist the temptation to play Ozil out wide where his influence in the game is reduced.

by Guest Thu Jun 23, 2011 5:56 pm

we may need to take a bit of a gamble and keep gago... assuming lass goes.

by EarlyPrototype Thu Jun 23, 2011 6:00 pm

Well that kinda sucks.

1) Keep Gago

2) stick to a 4-2-3-1 and use sahin/khedira as backup if Lass goes

WAIT............we have VARANE Cool

problem solved.

by Guest Thu Jun 23, 2011 6:14 pm

Varane's not a DM guys. Pepe would be miles better than him if we need a CB to play DM... he's technically not good enough to play this role at Madrid imo.

You guys do realize that Varane has only played on an A team since November 2010 i hope.

by Mr Nick09 Thu Jun 23, 2011 6:20 pm

yh people getting a little ahead of themselves with varane... i dont even count him part of the squad for next season tbh

by EarlyPrototype Thu Jun 23, 2011 6:53 pm

He might play DM to get playing time you never know. I too actually think he will go on loan my point was if we needed someone for cover Varane is there.

by Guest Thu Jun 23, 2011 6:54 pm

Maybe Gago will be healthy and can play? lol. This is one of the theories Bill put out there. He believes in it as much as i do.

by EarlyPrototype Thu Jun 23, 2011 7:14 pm

Maybe Gago will be healthy and not be in Madrid?

by Onyx Thu Jun 23, 2011 8:30 pm

Gago needs regular playing time and it's unlikely he'll get it here.

by alex mahone Thu Jun 23, 2011 8:44 pm

i would love to keep gago, he's still quality imo, but yeah he deserves regular playing time

by Guest Thu Jun 23, 2011 8:47 pm

How about getting healthy enough to play at all... forget regular playing time. Just playing time period lol.

He had opportunities to be a major contributor this year given the injuries to Khedira. He was also a viable back to Alonso so we could've rested him a few more games... we all saw how the Khedira/Lass pairing worked.

But he was not available.

I told you Altintop was a useless signing and would go wrong!

Gago is lulz, he should leave right now. He isnt even in the squad in Mou's mind. Last year he just played one 90 mins in the 2-0 of Levante, and a sub appearance one time.

Gago was injured pretty much the entire season though

Im pretty sure that by the end of it he was just chucked on the injury list a la Kaka or Guti. Gago has not a chance in hell to be relevant in Madrid again, which is a shame because he is a good player. Injuries destroyed him. Leaving is almost a foregone conclusion, unless he wants to be a squatter like Leon. Maybe he will discover form somewhere else and improve, who knows?

WTF! If we play 4-3-3 we'll need 6 central midfielders. Alonso, Sahin, Khedira,Granero, Lass and there is the problem. We might need to keep lady Gago Very Happy
