Real Madrid

He might miss the rest of the season, depending on how strictly they punish him when they review it, but its not certain.

what REST of the season? lol :p

from a dreamfooty perspective, i sure hope so :P it's been a nightmare, messi and rooney havent played consistently for weeks now! :P

I thought Cristiano kicked the player after the other guy launched him into the air.

Im neutral towards it. We have second place secured, its always interesting to see how the team manages without CR7. Osasuna is not too strong but Sociedad will be a challenge. By no means would I want the ban to extend into next season. Next year's Copa however, it probably will.

Most players from french league actually suck and really not as impressive as the look...

Look @ Benzema
Wiltord was so s**t in England but was a god in france.
Adebayors life has not been thesame since he lfet france.

Only very few like Drogba succeeded

Benzema doesn't 'suck', and you're being too harsh on Ligue 1. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is definitely one of these 'very few' talented players you are referring to, look him up.

Benzema's only great season in Spain was just last year. The rest were very disappointing. But it all depends on the manager on how to bring in the best in a player. Zidane and Varane were prime examples for Real Madrid, not so much on Benzema..

u forgot to switch your pros and cons man...

^I think you've mixed up your pros and cons mate. You're more or less right. But he's brought the team past the point many of our previous managers were stuck in. Surely that isn't a mistake.

Besides, until he came along, we were getting pushed around by Barca, it's just his luck that when he was neutralising Barca, Bayern came along with an even stronger team. Next season will be interesting. The entire landscape of football is changing. New managers for almost every big club, and alot of players shuffling around those clubs too.

lol sorry i fixed it

U must be a pedmar clone because u sound even more crazy than me!!!!

Because we change a coach and we should just forget how!!!! U truly r crazy, with what we have our guys will be able to get past Mou and play on, they will no longer have to face the ?s from the fans in the streets, ans stupid ?s from the press etc. They will be able to do what they do best with calm or couldn't u see that with all the Mou hype our guys lost their will to concentrate and get it back on track.

as much silly as this may sounds... he has a point lol

lol. i dont know if casillas needs any help

This is not the time for negativity.

@RM4TheWin You have no respect for our players or Ancelotti do you?

Look beyond the words he used. All he's trying to say is what I've been saying all along. What good would clearing our team's name do if that is the eventuality? Of course no one wants it to be like that, but just imagine it happens? We'd be a respectable club, with respectable members and a crappy trophy haul. So tell me then, would you rather have a nice clean image or trophies? I'd take trophies any day.

@DerBomba Yes you got it right,what did we get from being soft and fluffy? Didn't the best team of this decade cheat his way to the finals atleast twice? What do you say about that..Clean football lovers?

The only thing that pissed me off about Mourihno were certain tactical decisions. Everything else really didn't bother me.

dude chill, we got a really good team... we are better off w/o jose, he was kind of sabotaging us so it's hard to do worse than we did this year.

i rather us take our time and make sensible decisions... but it seems like we've already made up our mind on cavani and ancelotti, their pretty much already here.

it's hard to go wrong with cavani, but maybe we can at least consider all the guys out there? especially the ones that said they want to leave or go out on loan... lewa or ba, i think would fit in really well.

seems like cavani does not score as much or play as much as suarez does for uruguay. dunno what the reasons are for this, some one may wanna look into it, i'm too busy atm :)

My whole bone with people's criticism of Mourinho is simply that it is built on him tarnishing Madrid's name. It's not like I'm a supporter of what he's done at Madrid. His systems just don't work wonders like his other teams. I'm just massively irritated that people want to keep a "clean name" for the club because it's impossible. Every team has undue criticisms. Barca known as a diving club, Utd known as a referee club, City known as a buying club etc. It'll never go away. As long as you're a successful club, people level criticisms at the club. It just makes no sense saying that Mourinho's behavior is destroying the club's name because there isn't such a name to destroy. Before Mourinho, we were the laughing stock with all the millions spent with no results. After Mourinho's departure, the same criticism is thrown at Madrid.

So, what does that prove? Basically that there isn't such a thing as a respectable club. People will always find a way to criticise you one way or another. You can say that Mourinho's tactics were bad, his decision making was poor, and I can accept that. But to say he's destroying Madrid's good name? That's Bullocks.

luckily we can have both.. titles and a good image... but in truth... its best to win titles with people hating you than to have everyone admire you and win nothing.... in the end, they will hate you if u win titles and make fun of you if you dont...

Exactly. Success and admiration should not be viewed as incompatible with each other.

No need to rebuild,we have a strong young squad,there are just a couple of players that we need to bring in.

And I don't see anybody having as much power as Mou did,so maybe there will be some players like Bale or Neymar that the board will try to get without asking our new manager.

I agree with Pejvl. Galacticos aside Ancelotti will look to bring in young players since im sure he wants his tenure to last. If some of our important players leave, which is highly unlikely, only then would there be a possibility of older players like Lichtsteiner or Pirlo joining.

our squad is already build...we just need some finishing touch...
Benz is good and i really do hope we see the best of him sooner, but we need a composer up front like carloz tevez..or some pure muscle/physical presence like of drogba..i dont see a lot of strikers like that at the moment though...
RB carvajal would be good for us, and some good RW who can either help bring the best out of di maria by challenging him or help him get out of real madrid...

One thing I want to see: Ancelotti abolishing Mourinho's system. Mourinho's Madrid system doesn't give us the defensive stability we need. With an Italian in the house, we probably would have this covered, though Ancelotti isn't your typical Italian. I'd rather have Lippi fix our defence in this situation.

He has managed two champion league winning teams, he has won the league in three different countries. And he is the complete opposite of Mourinho. Not sure how I feel about that but we will see.

Ancelotti took over at PSG in December of 2011. He was there only half a year, and they finished second. The 2012-2013 season was the first full season he was at PSG, and they won. I seriously doubt too many were expecting him to win after half a season. He's also the only manager that has been able to win the league with Chelsea since Mourinho left.

Ancelotti is a top class manager. The one and only weakness he has is that he's bad at mind games and is not pushy enough. Man motivator wise, he's top notch, his tactical ability is right up there. He'd probably be the best option to replace Mourinho as the board's feeble attempt to appease the circus known as the media.

Who is this Kloop you speak of? :p and isn't Gotye a band?...somebody that I used to know...

Klopp and Gotze...

well s**t....

Kloop and Gotye xD lol!! I nearly died laughing!!!! Thanks, Hunsijoo :)

@ "Customize" well if you want it totally correct his name is gÖtze :P

^ actually its GÖtze :D

^ haha i know , but i wanted that only the "ö" stands out so everyone knows what i mean,with the most easy way

DaGaza WINS!!! #epictekkencoolbackgroundvoiceguy

I miss him already...doesn't matter that he did a lot of bad things during his stay here,still he did get a warm spot in many Madridistas hearts.

His second year team was one of the best counter-attacking teams I have ever watched.

right now a lot of the madrid supporters are very dissapointed... not that mourinho is leaving... most of us would have loved for him to continue... but that we could have achieved many great things as a team under Mou and it didnt work out...

Dont care what anyone says... I WILL MISS MOURINHO!!

We do more than you guys..

I'll miss Mourinho.

@GloryRedDays
Yeah, the same way you guys won't miss Hecknyes if he wins you the treble.

Wenger and Pellegrini better watch out for those Eye Gouges lol

Don't worry Mourinho wont be needing to do that anymore Guardiola will play the victim in the German league now.

Oh that will be just the beginning. Soon Lopez, Modric, and Higuain will follow.

Wat does it say??
Anyone willing to help translate that in English??
Di Maria, Pepe and Coentrao are leaving too????

It says basically that PSG wants Di Maria as a priority in return for Ancelotti, City want Pepe to add to their defence as Kompany might be leaving this summer, and Perez wants coentrao out. :/ Team's falling apart...

If I am being totally honest, I wouldn't mind seeing Pepe gone...

i wouldn't want pepe to leave... but if he does then someone needs to be brought in... or Nacho should be put back to his CB position... cause i dont think carvalho will be with us next season and i dont trust Albiol enough if ramos or Varane get injured

but you trust Nacho? I don't.

i dont trust nacho as a right or left back.. dont know why mou kept him playing there... he is very good as CB, but i dont trust him enough neither.. for some la liga teams then yeah sure but not for CL football nor the tougher la liga sides... which is y another defender should be brought in if we lose pepe

if we sell all our players. barca will surely win next 4 laliga

and why exactly does Perez want Coentrao out?? thats a strange one.

Coentrao is on mourihno's side. he probably will leave anyway when mou does

Coentrao leaving with Mourinho doesnt make sense, hes been criticized by him plenty of times I doubt they are friends just because thyre both Portuguese, on Chelsea he would never start over Cole, who im assuming is actually close with him.

Well Mourinho is the one that wanted to bring Carvajal...
I hope the next manager agrees with that, and let Jese have Moratas place.

We need both.
