Real Madrid Academy, Dani Parejo and Van Der Vaart

Real Madrid have announced a strategic partnership with Belgium’s Standard Liege.

Real formalised the agreement this week and intend to send some of their brightest prospects to Standard to gain first team experience.

The Belgians will also be able to tap into Real’s global scouting network, as well as benefit from having the Spanish giants’ best young players.

I do not know what benefit it can bring to Real Madrid in terms of getting talented young players and I know the statement above says the opposite,though I do know that it can benefit Real Madrid spread it’s brand to Belgium as well. Good thinking by the Real Madrid Tink-Tank

Real Madrid’s Parejo delighted with QPR move

Parejo wants a new Challenge

Real Madrid prospect Dani Parejo is delighted with his loan move to QPR.

“For me it is a challenge. My goal is to improve and grow as a player before returning to establish myself at Real,” said the midfielder.

“It is true that QPR want me for another season if the team is promoted, but that would only be possible if Real Madrid do not claim me. I hope that things go well.”

Well done Real Madrid, though I am not a huge admirer of Parejo but there are some reasons for why I say well done to Real Madrid. One reason is that he must be a good, no not good, great talent because Arsene Wenger (Arsenal’s coach) was ready to pay 10 million pounds for this lad and as we all know what a miser Wenger is when it comes to spending in the transfer market, I think this is huge and that is when Parejo got some serious attention from Real Madrid.

Second, I think its always better to sent a player on loan to see whether he is able to doing well in the first team and then decide what to do with that talent. HALA MADRID

Mijatovic attempting to wrap up Real Madrid’s Van der Vaart signing

Van Der Vaart Close To His Dream Move

Ok, the news is that Mijatovic is trying desperately hard to sign one good player this summer for Real Madrid and that is why he wants to get this Van Der Vaart deal done and dusted as soon as possible. Mijatovic spent all day thrashing out terms with Hamburg over a 7 million fee for Van Der Vaart but I think Hamburg also knows that Real Madrid are desperate so they might as well hang on to what they want rather than hang on to what they get.

Anyway, Van der Vaart has already agreed personal terms with Real and Mijatovic is hopeful of finalising a fee today.

In his rant yesterday, Real coach Bernd Schuster said: “Van der Vaart is a choice of many we have. It appears that an attempt has been made over this issue lately, but it is one thing to talk about it and another to close this deal.”
