Sorry bro.

I was making this thread for a very long time and got fucked up after a couple of hours of making it.

I'll change that right of way.

Thanks.

Now it's finally fixed, forgot to change Costinha to Ze Castro.

We've got a couple of great players in this team, and it looks even stronger than last year when we messed up big time.

We've got a great manager in Aguirre, which I absolutely admire for his work at Osasuna over the past 4 seasons. Ag�ero is one of the players who's probably going to be very good and useful for us this season, hopefully the pressure on him won't make him a bad player, Aguirre can motivate him for sure.

Ze Castro and Costinha is two very good signings in my eyes, but so is Pern�a which I believe is one of our best offensive defenders. He's taken over that position in the NT from Antonio Lopez. Very dangerous player, can shot with both foots and scores a lot of goals from his position.

Seitaridis could be usefull if he gets the chance to prove himself at Atl�ti. He needs to get back on track because he's been lost after that Euro 2004 gold.

Rumours are also saying that Rojiblancos is set to sign Osasunas talented defensive midfielder Raul Garcia, but he's going to be very hard to get because Real Madrid and other big clubs are involved in the signing of him, and also, He's going to cost at least 22 million �, which is a whole lot for a club like Atl�tico.

Aguirre has announced that he wants Raul Garcia because he wants to finish his team with him. He was brought by Aguirre when he was in Osasuna, and played fantastic last season, so, I certainly hope we'll get him.

For now maybe, I hope Aguirre can motivate his ass so he gets back on old PSV-class. Very doubtfull though, but he isn't kept for no reason, He's one of Atl�tico's only natural strikers in the box.

hes a good player, he just needs to get his head out of his ass

quote:

Ke�man is a agressive player who works hard for his team, but he needs to fix his fitness before the season starts, it looked horrible at the World Cup.

Also, a new attitude. He's got a good one already, but if he skips the unnecessary things like stupid tackles and cards for nothing, He'll get the confidence he needs.

He's also got a lot more competition, Ag�ero is expected to be the one who'll play upfront with Torres. Then we'll see how good Torres is, even though the midfield is a lot better and can't be compared with last year. So, Atl�tico will probably just have to get used to play together.

It looks good though.

Good news.

Atl�tico Madrid's president has said that Torres isn't for sale, unless he doesn't want to leave himself. They haven't even made a bid for "El Ni�o" who'll hopefully stay at Atl�tico.

Perea says he's sure that Torres is going to stay at Atl�tico.

Bad news.

Jos� Zah�nos didn't pass the examination at Almer�a, which means that he won't be going to them like it was planned. He's got a injury. Would you leave already!

Seitaridis is great, we only didn't keep him because Dinamo paid us a ton of money. Everyone who went to Dinamo didn't work out there, so I'd still have a lot of hope on him.

I don't expect Z� Castro to be an important player unless your centre-backs suck. At least not now, he might become a good player in the future.

I guess Costinha will fight with Luccin for a place in the team - and I think he should win the fight, although he did a crappy world cup: too many fouls and a dumb expulsion against Holland.

Umm, no.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/s...=374133&cc=5739

Plus the Fabio Capello factor, one of the very best managers in the world.

No matter how much I dislike Real Madrid, I have to say that they've got something good going on right now.

Sure, they're buying players who's a little to old, but still at their best right now. Cannavaro showed it in the World Cup and you all saw it.

Real isn't going to be that strong anyways, and I could still see us playing well and fighting for a good position in the top. Also, we won both games against Barcelona, both at Calderon and on Bernabeu, On Calderon with a red card in the last 30 minutes of the game.

Aguirre has to get some players going, and they'll have a lot more competition of who'll start and who'll be on the bench. Besides, Aguirre is a harsh manager who had a away squad and a home squad for Osasuna last year.

Don't forget our other forgotten players like Martin Petrov, That's got to be one of the best players at his postion.

i bet you're gonna finish 7th or 8th
