Pepe Complains To Ronaldo, Schuster Ok With Van Der Vaart
Pepe asks Ronaldo to show some respect
Even Pepe(who is C.Ronaldo’s teammate on the international circuit, both play for Portugal) has had it with Ronaldo over his stupid behavior regarding signing for Real Madrid and has asked Ronaldo to show some respect to Real Madrid .
Pepe admits Real Madrid’s players are getting fed-up with the constant transfer speculation over Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo.
The defender explained: “We need to recognise that Madrid has its squad and that the players here have their quality.
“There is a little disrespect going on because a team does not rely on one player, even if he is very good. Pele and Maradona won major games, but they had help from their peers.”
Now, moving to Bernd Schuster (the coach of Real Madrid). Schuster, wants Ronaldo (that we all know) but what some don’t know that he also wants Van Der Vaart if Real Madrid fail in their bid to sign C.Ronaldo.
According to AS (which is like Real Madrid’s mouthpiece or no wait, that was Marca) says Schuster has held a series of meetings with Real president Ramon Calderon and sports director Pedja Mijatovic during their Austria preseason camp.
Schuster wants some new attacking players no matter what
Schuster has made it clear that if they were to land Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo he would be delighted because the Portuguese “is the best in the world right now,” but added that if they could not sign the player, then “I would be pleased with the arrival of Van der Vaart” .
So typical of Schuster, always wants more options and more options, that is not a bad thing but he has to think about his signings too and not just buy for the sake of buying, I heard somewhere else that Schuster is becoming increasingly worried day by day because of the lack of activity of Real Madrid in the transfer market this summer.
Schuster has probably seen what good work Barcelona (Real Madrid’s arch enem…I mean archrival) has done so far in the market and does not want Real Madrid to sit back and wait for Ronaldo, till he says no and Real Madrid end up with nothing, but I would tell Schuster that where that is a good thing to a have a PLAN B, but it should be sensible and buying a 26 year old player for 10 million pounds (as Hamburg have asked) who would be available for nothing just six months from now is not sensible.
Diego, the brilliant Brazillian
I would rather go with Diego, a much younger and promising talent. Though Real Madrid already have enough cover for that position (the attacking midfield, more like the playmaker position) I think if Real Madrid want so sign someone than Diego should be at the top of the list this season behind Quaresma.
