He will come in as a replacement for Emerson as well as Diarra. He knows that when Gago comes to madrid he will send time on the bench that is why he thinks it is wise that he goes on loan or stays at boca for a while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320842051069026097.post-75849612203470302272006-12-01T12:55:00.000+00:002006-12-01T12:55:00.000+00:00Most commentators seem to agree Gago is more suite...Most commentators seem to agree Gago is more suited to the Emerson role-position than the Guti role. Kaká is an obsession for Calderón because his inability to sign him in the summer keeps being thrown in in his face. It's a shame we do not get to see more of de la Red, who <i>is</i> a straight replacement for Guti. Capello does not feel confident enough in his own squad to start the lad, and Guti blew his chance to debut at the Bernabéu by getting sent off.TheAuthorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11295271952718935345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320842051069026097.post-71502070068970614772006-12-01T09:34:00.000+00:002006-12-01T09:34:00.000+00:00To follow on from what I said in my blog, if Real ...To follow on from what I said in my blog, if Real want him as an alternative to Guti then this move will be a disaster. Gago is simply not that type of player. I thought he would replace Emerson, which might work. Otherwise things could get very bleak for Gago, as you point out.<br /><br />I've seen him play the most last year in the World Youth Championship for Argentina, where him and Lucas Biglia 'rotated' as one of the holding players. For me, Biglia was more impressive by a hair (now playing for Anderlecht, you might remember him if you watched Real's pre-season friendly with them), but Gago showed some good creative touches, linking well with Messi (who was playing mostly in midfield) and defended solidly.<br /><br />Real do need a backup for Guti, and badly. For me, they might do well to abandon their (almost obsessive, if you'll forgive me saying so) chase of Kaka and try to sign someone who would actually be able to come as soon as possible.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09807392842004716065noreply@blogger.com
