Cheers mate.

Kaka Departs Real Madrid

Kaka has joined Manchester City from Real Madrid. The Brazilian star has fell down the pecking order at Real so a£9.25M move was completed earlier today. With new manager Zinedine Zidane wanting to make the squad more youthful the sale of 30 year old Kaka showed his intentions. Kaka joins City on a 3 year deal and will join up with his new team mates next week. The sale also paves the way for Mario Gotze who Zidane is a big admirer of and would like to use the money made from Kaka’s sale to make an offer for the young German. Many fans are sad to see Kaka go but admit it was best for his career for him to move on.

Fierro Join Real

Young Mexican Carlos Fierro has joined Real Madrid on a 4 year deal. The talented striker joins for a fee of £3.75M and is expected to have a first team role this season. Fierro is highly regarded around the world and is said to have great talent and great potential to go far in football. Carlos is said to be delighted to have joined such a great club and wants to try his best and succeed at Real Madrid under Zinedine Zidane.

Cheers mate you seen to see more Barca stories tbh.

Fierro is a top signing for the future. Wonder if he can hack it straight away? Never bought him on FM13

Ino doubt he will be 15+ a seaspn but when I was at Vitesse I signed him in Jan and he scored 11 in the second half of the season.

Mario Gotze to join Real Madrid

Real Madrid have completed the signing of German international Mario Gotze for a fee rumoured to be around £32M. The star for the future joins Carlos Fierro as Zinedine Zidane’s second signing. The money from the sale of Kaka helped make up part of the deal and it shows the intent of Zidane’s youth policy. The Frenchman had this to say on the young midfielder:
“Mario is a top player. He can go to the top and signing for Madrid is a big deal for him. He has a good attitude and I hope he can make an immediate impact. If I choose to play a 4-2-3-1 then I have some great players in that 3. Ronaldo, Di Maria, Ozil, Gotze and Callejon so if I use this to my advantage then we will have success this season”.

The press then got to meet Mario and ask him some questions on why he joined Real:
“It’s great to be here. I love Spain and I want to win lots of trophies at Real and under Zidane and some great players in the team we can dominate football. I want to become a great player and playing for a top club is a great honour for me”.

Pre-Season

We have had a good pre-season and I have worked with the new 4-2-31 system with the squad and we look good for the new season:

Real Madrid 4-2 Castilla
Modric(Pen)
Di Maria
Morata
Higuain

Montpellier 0-0 Real Madrid

Calasis 0-3 Real Madrid
Modric
Benzema
Benzema

Bayern 2-1 Real Madrid
Cristiano Ronaldo

Spurs 3-3 Real Madrid
Di Maria
Cristiano Ronaldo
Benzema

Zidanes Notes: A decent pre-season with only 1 defeat against Bayern and I was playing a weaker side but I am happy with the performances and the youth that have played will feature during the season as I look to focus on the future.

Ter Stegen joins Madrid

Marc ter Stegen has joined Real Madrid for a fee of £18M. The young goalkeeper has signed for Madrid for 5 years and is excited to join the club. Zinedine Zidane had this to say on the young German:
“Marc is a very talented goalkeeper. He has great potential and will be a good replacement for when Iker Casillias leaves the club. He will be a great addition and he will help the team out and serve the club well”.

now that is an interesting signing. Just when will Casillas leave?

2013-06-09 18:33#110463 KingPadster : now that is an interesting signing. Just when will Casillas leave?

Well stegen will be my NO.2 this season but if he plays well then we will see but he will be an understudy for around 2 seasons and then once Casillas is getting older he will come in but for now Iker is in his prime so he is NO.1

Don't think MATS will be happy being back up for 2 seasons imo and could cause a fuss but good signings mate
