Calderon explains Robinho sale and Ronaldo Chase.

Hi everyone,

This is not really a post. I just wanted to let you all know what Calderon has to say about the shocking deadline transfer of Robinho to Manchester City which I think has harmed the future of both Real Madrid and Robinho.

Real  Madrid have lost a great talent, though if Robinho keeps up this attitude, I do not think he will go far in his career. As for Robinho, I think it is a big step down in his career, may be he has Chelsea at the back of his mind and he is hoping that by playing for Manchester City for one season he would be able to impress Chelsea and finally would get transferred there at the end of the season.

Anyway, coming back to Calderon and his reasons which are always very very formal and he is always very very composed and does not reveal anything definitive in his interviews. Anyway, this one, I could say is may be an exception.

“Robinho has a morale problem more extensive than we first thought,” said Calderon. “When he talked about his situation, he cried and demanded to leave Spain.“

“His departure from Madrid is not only due to playing motivation, there is something else, which is beyond my reasoning. The important thing is that the squad is not seriously affected by a player who would only bring them down.”

And about Ronaldo, Calderon said:

“We will bring him to Madrid when Manchester United wants to sell,”

“The player wanted to come but then when he saw that his club would not let him leave, reconsidered his position and said he was very happy in Manchester.”

“We must accept it, it is the law of the market.”

“For example, to sign (Rafael) Van der Vaart, we had to sell Julio Baptista.”

Mijatovic also explained the departure of Robinho

Real Madrid transferred  Robinho to Manchester City last night, firmly believing it is the best way to solve the current situation.”

What’s more, he stated that coach Bernd Schuster was right behind the move.

“pI support and approve of Schuster’s decision to sign off on the transfer of Robinho, who’s attitude made it evident that he was no longer professionally involved with the group” he said.

“Lastly, I wish Robinho the best of luck in future endeavors.”

UPDATE:

Real Madrid have already started to hunt young prospects for their Castilla team.

This summer marked the first market whereby Real attacked the international youth market in a search for their own version of Barcelona star Lionel Messi.

The latest signing, Belgian striker Edouard Kabamba, arrived on Friday from newly established partners Standard Liege. Hungarian striker Adam Szalai joined from Stuttgart for £400,000, while £500,000 was spent on Hertha Berlin defender Christopher Schorch.

Arriving from South America are Uruguayan defender Gary, formerly of Danubio, and ex-Boca Juniors wing-back Santiago Villafane.
