He also paired up well with Robinho when they were both at Santos. But, as you say, there's been little mention of him so far this summer. What the reasons may be, alas, I don't know.TheAuthorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11295271952718935345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320842051069026097.post-88868077934633553202007-08-10T00:31:00.000+01:002007-08-10T00:31:00.000+01:00drenthe is officially oursdrenthe is officially oursUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06182355502678139442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320842051069026097.post-1998089386494464242007-08-09T23:27:00.000+01:002007-08-09T23:27:00.000+01:00good point, so far though it looks like we will un...good point, so far though it looks like we will unfortunately be Guti dependent. At least Drenthe and Robben will arrive soon. I was really surprised that DIEGO's name never came up in the MARCA/AS Madrid press rumor mill as a possible transfer though, do you think it had to do with his poor COPA AMERICA run?estoveraohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07313433045458103234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320842051069026097.post-28957663992734871902007-08-07T16:11:00.000+01:002007-08-07T16:11:00.000+01:00Linda,Whether Real Madrid needs any more players i...Linda,<BR/>Whether Real Madrid needs any more players is really up to Schuster - we only get to see the games, rather how the players are performing in training and we don't know what role he has asked them to perform. There seems, however, to be a clear lack of strength on the left with the departures of Roberto Carlos and Reyes. The <I>canteranos</I> are not really up to the task from what we've seen and Marcelo still needs to show whether he's mature enough to perform at this level. Schuster has supposedly asked for Robben and for someone like Ballack in midfield, but I pay very little attention to the press until anything is made official.<BR/><BR/>Estoverao,<BR/>Gago is not a Ballack-type player; he plays further back, like a traditional 'number 5'. His problem is that Diarra is probably a more likely starter in that position and he cannot really replace Guti further up. Hence the dangerous, in my opinion, dependence on Guti for the creative spark. His talent is unquestionable. Unfortunately, so is his penchant for 'disappearing' in so many games.TheAuthorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11295271952718935345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320842051069026097.post-56283068105910302302007-08-07T15:35:00.000+01:002007-08-07T15:35:00.000+01:00Gago and De La Red definitely need to step up beca...Gago and De La Red definitely need to step up because it really looks like the only signing we'll be able to get is Robben(I didn't think Ballack was the answer anyway).
