Lets cut to the chase here, Oezil has kicked his agent out. The reason for that is, Oezil wants his father to manage him, not someone who isn’t even remotely related to him. Whatever the logic, this is what he has done and now its family business. Oezil’s matters are in his dads hands.
Did I mention his fathers name is Mustafa. Not that it was related or anything, but a little side info is never bad. After all, you must have fillers too rather than just pure content.
Oezil’s dad is not even qualified for the position of an agent but FIFA has rules about allowing people to manage their own kin without any qualification or experience. Lets see how this turns out, what is important now is that Oezil is a part of Mourinho’s plans and thankfully, the media is not tipping Oezil to move away from Real Madrid.
That may come as a surprise to some of you as the media has already put Ronaldo, Pepe, Kaka, Ramos, Marcelo, Alonso, Benzema, Higuain and Casillas on the list of people who could leave Real Madrid, which is obviously insane.
Talking about Real Madrid players having uncertain future, Canales is being chased by a host of clubs and Valencia have emerged as a new pursuer. Canales is set to leave Real Madrid as Canales was left out of the 25 man squad Mourinho chose for the tour of USA.
Another player who is certain to leave Real Madrid is Drenthe. Reports have said that Benfica are in pole position for his signature as they have quite a lot of money, now that they have ripped Real Madrid by selling a player of Coentrao’s caliber for 30 million. That is a heck a lot when you consider that Arsenal are prepared to offload Fabregas for 40 million euros.
Drenthe is being lined up by Benfica, Real Madrid are ready to give him up for somewhere near 4 million euros. Which is a cheap deal. In fact, I am going to change what I just said, it is not a cheap deal. It is a great deal for Real Madrid, Drenthe’s technique on the ball is almost as good as mine, I can tell you that.
Since Kaka has been removed from the limelight (for now) of the media, Pepe has been touted as someone who can leave Real Madrid. He was probably the find of the season for Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho last season but despite giving awesome performances against Barcelona in 4 consecutive matches, reports say that he could leave Real Madrid as his future as been uncertain since the end of last season.
Let us switch to player who could arrive at Real Madrid. The latest player linked with Real Madrid is Alex. There are talks about a swap deal with Pepe, which would be horrible but that would not be a first for Real Madrid. Alex is 29, he is experienced and he is Brazillian, which means he will be brilliant for most of the times and will be quite awful sometimes too and that in most cases is not good enough for Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho wants performance week in and week out. No hiccups. 10 million euros should make a good deal (without Pepe of course). Reports have also emerged that Mourinho now wants a new striker. Apparently, Mourinho thinks that this is something everyone else wants too.
Well, I can tell you, I do not want Real Madrid to sign another striker (of course assuming that we have Higuain and Benzema fit for next season). We need a center back at best and nothing more. No more 50 million signings to warm the bench. Here is what he said in an interview (I read it on Goal.com)
“”I’m happy with the squad, especially when you think we’re still missing [Gonzalo] Higuain and [Angel] Di Maria [currently away with Argentina at the Copa America], who are very important to us.
“It’s fantastic to have more than 90 per cent of the team you want by mid-July because it allows you to work in a different manner.”
It isn’t easy to sign for Real Madrid because we have a very good squad and we earned important results last season,” he said.
“We won one title [the Copa del Rey] and nothing more. We have decided to improve on, and balance out, the squad without losing track of having to come up with a team for the future; Coentrao is 23 years old, one year younger than Callejon. Sahin is even younger and Varane is an 18-year-old kid.
“We never want to side-track from building a team for years to come that has large room for improvement and progress. We signed men we thought were important to improve on a squad that was already very good – this squad has 10 years ahead of it.”
I, like everyone else, believe we need another striker,” he said.
