Basicly says that Atletico Madrid and Arsenal are asking about him.

He would like to start next season with real madrid but they have to pay 5 million euros to bring him back from Getafe so they could be intrerested in selling him for around 10 million euros.

By the way also says that Arsenal started looking at de la Red "after the signing of Nasri" so the spanish medias talk about Nasri as a done deal! Let's hope it is!

De La Red is a real all action midfeilder and does everything. Tackles, spreads the ball with accuracy, Good Vison, about 6ft1, good in the air and has a deadly shot. He reminds me of Aquillani in terms of physique and characteristics on the pitch but is definelty a cheaper option. Thats not because hes as good but because Madrid have so many options ahead of him in midfeild and It may effect certain players if he just stepped in ahead of them as theyre champions. Who can blame them?

Wenger wanted Alberto but he was too expensive so I can see why he has probably turned his attention to Ruben.

I'm not sure what type of centre midfielder he is but I remember him playing at CB against Bayern so I'm sure he'd have no problem partnering Cesc.

Re: Ruben de la Red linked

is this the same ruben that was crying after he got subbed off halfway through the first half?

Re: Ruben de la Red linked

I am certain that he did not play as a central defender against Bayern as I watched both matches, gunnerama911. Anyway, a great creative midfielder who reminds me more of Pirlo than of anybody else in the way he plays. Very skilled technically, good at passing the ball around precisely and above all very good at dictating the tempo and fluidity of his own team throughout his "fantasista" role.

Re: Ruben de la Red linked

Real madrid has a great youth system that consistantly produced good players, we should nip him off, before they wake up and smell the coffee(or quality)

Re: Ruben de la Red linked

He's had a great season on loan at Getafe and has been included in the Spanish squad for the Euro.

Re: Ruben de la Red linked

Ruben is 22 years old, not sure how much he'd cost. Didn't know he's been on loan at Getafe, I thought he'd just gone down the pecking order at Madrid It says on Wiki that he was sold, not on-loan, but Madrid had the option to re-buy within two years if they wanted him back (and Schuster has confirmed he'll come back for the 08-09 season).

Haven't seen him in a while to be honest, but he's a decent player. Not sure if he would be a permanent starter though. Much rather prefer Gago, he plays the same game as De La Red. Both pass the ball around very well and get stuck into tackles, both the same ages actually.

Re: Ruben de la Red linked

just watched him play against USA for the last 35 mins, looking very good with the ball and also a very good passer, especially worked very well with Cesc. IMO he will be a good buy if 10m euros to be true.

Re: Ruben de la Red linked

This smells like Wenger. One center mid from Barca and the other from Real!

Re: Ruben de la Red linked

Yeah but if we don't sign him before the Euros you can bet that his 10mill will add another 5 by the end of it.

Even CRonaldo and Kaka combined won't be bought for 105m Anzac. :wink:

Re: Ruben de la Red linked

so do we swap the 0 & the 5 & make it 150mill - it is Real(ly Stupid) Madrid we are talking about.........and they are the originator's of this decade of spiraling costs in fees and wages..........

 

[Jaded]

Re: Ruben de la Red linked

Not gonna happen.

Not because Real won't sell him, but because Real will ask Cesc in return.

Better not do any deal with devil. And Real Madrid is the biggest devil of them all. He eat Satan for breakfast.

Re: Ruben de la Red linked

The Sun :roll: claims that us and Tottenham are battling it out for Ruben De La Red, who could cost 15 million pounds. I seriously doubt this story, especially considering there are no quotes and it is only about 30 words long.

Re: Ruben de la Red linked

Interesting how most footballers costs around £15m (give or take a million or two) these days. At least according to the press.
