Before or after Khedira? I thought holding midfield is a position wherein Real have enough depth.

Before Khedira, that´s the idea. We do have enough depth of ****... Diarrá 1, Diarrá 2 (did you see his performance with France?), and Gago (that has been performing surprisingly well this pre-season but you never know), they are incredibly inconsistent, not to mention Granero...

If you meant M. Diarra then he can also **** off

That´s the one :P. I can´t believe Diarra 1 is still in the team, he´s probably one of the worst signings of the past years, I still remember that it was Capello who desperately wanted him and R.Madrid paid €27m. thinking that he was Essien 2.0. Him and Drenthe should really **** off.

Madrid have wasted a lot on some pretty bad signing of I am honest. Or over spend on them. Like Pepe, I heard a manager wanted him and his cost was mere pennies, but Perez didnt budge. A year later they sign him for 30m.

[Cities]

Quieroz.

Maybe that's some good news for United fans, what with their new signing and all.

[Kevmeister]

Tbf, mainly, once Madrid come calling clubs can add on to what they had expected to get from a 'normal' club.

Manchester City is included in this one.

[S-man10]

Balotelli has officially moved to Man City.

Ramires is now off to Chelsea.

Plus the Spanish Super Cup is tomorrow.

So Masch to Inter then, most likely. Inter may be willing to let another midfielder go if they get him......

[S-man10]

I dunno about Masch tbh. He just wants out. Hodgson has said that there is no deal yet.

Inter are pretty solid in the Midfield department anyway.

[RoadWarrior]

"Roy Hodgson today confirmed he does not anticipate any imminent move away from Anfield for Javier Mascherano and admitted the midfielder is in contention to face Arsenal on Sunday."

I dunno about this.. the Balotelli move and signing Poulson seemed to set this move up..

[Louis.]

Balotelli moved giving Inter the funds to sign Mascherano...

Benitez only plays with one striker, and with Eto'o and Milito I think Balotelli's move and the money made is going to be used to fund a move for Masch, who Benitez loves.

Ah, that makes senses. Shall have to wait and see. Inter will be more likely since you put it that way because:

1) He will have Benitez's backing.
2) I cant see him playing second fiddle to Busquets in Barca (unless this changes).

Pedro Leon got owned.

LOL y?

[Cities]

He provided many lulz with a volley attempt.

Ribery's looking lively

[The Rusty Spork]

Ribery has always left me feeling distinctly underwhelmed. I am yet to see him dominate a game or even significantly influence one.

I remember having a great game against us in the 1-1 tie at the Allianz Arena back in 2008/09 season.

Going 4-0 down in the first leg doesn't help that case.
