It’s about time that we hear some promising news regarding the future of the backline at Madrid. It seems that Perez is really following a plan. He started with the forwards, wingers, and now defenders. In terms of midfield, i believe that we have good players already and any addition is not crucial but would be nice. Alonso is still being persude by Madrid, so that would be a relief in terms of midfield if we do land him.
Now to the potentially exciting news. Marca reported that Madrid are close to closing a deal on Albiol from Valencia. This signing, if it happens, would close the gap that is in the current squad due to Cannavaro’s departure. Albiol is a great defender and he would fit perfectly in the new Madrid line up. Albiol would make for a great partner for Pepe, if he is back!! Keep your fingers crossed Madristas! This in my opinion is a very important signing if it is completed.
Arebola seems to be destined to move from Liverpool especially after the fact that Liverpool just signed Glen Johnson. I think he is also a good target. He was once a Madrid product, but no need to go into that right now.
Maicon is also a target of Madrid, but i am not very optimistic due to Inter Milans asking price. He would be a great addition. Madrid might be tempted to trade some players, possibly of Holland decent in order to land him. If anyone should pay the price of Maicon it should be Van Der Vart and no one else. I am afraid that Madrid might go insane and actually trade Sneider or Robben for the Brazilian! I pray to God that is not the case!!
I am very glad that Madrid has now moved to take a look at the backline. I’ve always said that the backline is really important and i am sure that Perez thinks so too, but we might differ on how which line is more important the backline or frontline! Nevertheless, it is great to see that Perez is following a plan in terms of signings and what encourages me more is the fact that Madrid is not clinging to players who are hard to get and wasting time!! Maybe Calderone could learn a thing or two by watching Perez at work!!
