Fuck the "football the way it is values", that's the biggest BS from top clubs ever (it's pure PR), and Madrid has only cared about since Barcelona has made a big deal out of it. In fact fuck those values that's why you guys got Mourinho and why you went for Capello when in need of a fast tittle. And either way not that Franco's club needs any sort of values. Seriously if "stylish" football is what matters then Madrid would've gone for Zeman a long time ago.Identity and recognizable style is more important to me than titles, were always gonna be in the running for titles, sometimes you gonna win them, sometimes youre not, luck has a huge role, what matters is to stay true to your values.
Chicharito first of all.Owen's goalscoring reputation was proven at Madrid, but his deficiencies were proven as well. He is not much more than a great finisher, although he is a lot better than Chicarito with the ball. At Madrid you need to be the complete package as a striker, or in case youre not, you need to be a club legend with a huge legacy like Raul, which was the reason he was unbenchable even though Owen outperformed him that season. Still, he's limited as a player and he was not the real deal. He was a panic buy galactico as well. And he wasn't the reason why Madrid beat Barcelona 4-2, that game was Ronaldo, Zidane and Beckham; Owen had one great finish as usual.
You're trolling but anyway:Hernandez is a good finisher but a rubbish footballer.
Has he ever done anything to capture the imagination? A bit of flair? Some skill that took your breath away? Of course not. He just goal hangs and puts away chances usually served on a plate.
The least he can do is have good movement considering his limitations as a footballer which is why I don't understand the ridiculous amount of praise he gets for making ordinary runs. Oh wow he made a 10 yard dash to find space wot a playa!! Get a grip for fucks sake.
I'm going to have to agree with Madridista here.

The irony being that you could say the exact same for Frank Lampard. He's never taken my breath away. Ordinary runs? You don't know much about football do you?
They create better football without touching the ball. Why do you think Mourinho wants Chicharito, said he fears Pippo most of Milan attackers? He's no fool
I wouldn't go as far as calling Chicharito a rubbish footballer but he is limited. Those type of strikers are highly dependent on service and w/o it they are virtually useless. Like I said before don't have a problem with those type of strikers but they are not my preferred type.
Several foreign-owned Premier League clubs want to scrap relegation, according to League Managers Association (LMA) chief Richard Bevan.
Bevan fears that if more clubs are sold to foreign investors they may have enough votes to force changes.
But the Premier League said relegation and promotion were part of its rules and added to the league's strength.
Bevan hopes that a parliamentary inquiry into football governance would also help prevent the proposal.
"We're very keen that the report is successful in helping the Football Association introduce a licensing programme for clubs," he said.
"Because there are a number of overseas-owned clubs already talking about bringing about the avoidance of promotion and relegation in the Premier League.
"If we have four or five more new owners, that could happen."
Nearly half of the Premier League's 20 clubs are under foreign ownership, with rules stipulating that if changes are to be made to the format, 14 clubs must vote in favour of any new reforms.
Blackburn joined the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea in this class when they were taken over by Indian-owned Venky's Group last season.
But the Premier League told BBC Sport that the move would be a non-starter, with the Football Association retaining the power to veto any proposals.
The Premier League clubs have not formally discussed any such move since Bolton chairman Phil Gartside proposed his two-tiered structure two years ago, an idea which was soon dismissed.
However, Bevan still believes it is a possibility, arguing any new owner of a Premier League club would not need to be foreign for them to see there would be money to be made from scrapping relegation.
Well this just goes on to show that Mourinho doesn't share "Real Madrid's values".
Quite literally the worst idea in football.
i think i'll put it this way.
Obviously if you give me choice of chicharito type v. a sheva or henry type. I side with latter
but if you give me choice of chicharito (who is world class in what he does) v. someone like benzema or pato (who are not YET), i'd side w/ chicharito.
That's not to say benzema or pato won't reach level fo a fully complete forward, just talking now....
Manchester derby at the weekend. I hope Mike Summerbee is a pundit. Summerbee vs Neville will be great.
The irony being he used to support United.
It's a crazy idea.
Funnily enough, those stats shown on Sky Sports were later proven to be absolute tosh and Summerbee was correct.
I'd take pato over chich any day, pato adds a new dimension to the game that chich doesn't. chich is van nistelrooys replacement, tap in king.
man utd fan ur kidding right? u posted a video showing van nist tap in goals. nist nd chich are poachers, sort of like inzaghi. they dont make amazing runs/dribbles. they wait go for the right time and shoot. when have u ever seen van make an amazing run down past 2-3 defenders with the ball out dribble and score? cmon now

Van Nistelrooy wasn't a poacher. He's a classic #9. Plays the box, but he links up well and has a good back to goal game.
Do you consider Klose a poacher? Cause Klose is basically a worse version of Ruud, or even Vieri (though I think Vieri at his peak was better than Ruud)
If Benzema is lucky he can be like Ruud....
----
It's like it's become sinful to be just a standard #9. Give me one of those players any day of the week..
It's like we share the same mind.
I just hate the idea, if you don't use excessive technique and flair you're 'average'
just like lampard in midfield> If it was that easy to score 10-15 goals from CM (open play) a year like he did for 7-8 years straight, more players would do it.
If it was that easy to just 'poach' or score more players would do it....
People underestimate how hard it is. Your first touch has to be immaculate, cause you'r getting ball in box with little space. You have to be intelligent enough to constantly get yourself open/available for the pass. Some do it like Ruud, using strength and still having balance to control ball and get a shot off. Some use quickness to create separation like chicharito.
It's all very useful.
but it does take a good amount of 'skill' to have intelligence, balance and agilibty to get open, control the ball with your first touch and get a shot off without stopping
And yet people don't learn from the Quaresma example. All flair and no end product meant failure at Barcelona, Inter, and Chelsea, and right now he's in Turkey. But probably based on youtube compilations people could (and they probably do) call Quaresma the best player in the world.
