samjp26 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yeah Guti is a weird comparison to be honest, I just don't think it makes any sense to make such a move at that age in terms of his career. However, training with Zidane every day? Priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Guti AVG'd 25 games a season over 15 years. A lot of those were sub appearances. Do you think Milner at City has loved his last 2/3 years? He's only become a fixture of the first team in the last year. Guti was a regular starter for 3 years, between Zidane joining and once he retired, he played regularly until Kaka came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 him at madrid or halilovic at barca? personally i think where they are now in terms of games played they arent too different, halilovic has 18 months on him but probably not as much hype, i think there's certainly a comparison that can be made over the next 5 years, similar players by the look of it, similar size clubs but a difference in opinion on youth players breaking through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Halilovic will probably have a bigger impact in the next few years, partly because he's older, partly because Barca can't buy anyone so will give players like him, Munir and Deulofeu a chance. Madrid can buy away and wait until Odegaard is good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 halilovic will almost certainly have a bigger impact in the next few years, like i said he's slightly older, he's already played for the 1st team in the cup you have him, munir, deulofeu, suarez, dongou, traore, sadro, samper... still no defenders though!

The_Rev Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 If he's good enough, he'll make it. True, but there is also a very real chance he will just end up getting lost at Real Madrid. He could thrive, he could end up being another Sergio Canales. Personally I think he would have been better going to a club where he actually has a chance of first team football and if he is good enough, join a side who have serious ambitions to win the Champions League every season (Real Madrid, Chelsea, Bayern etc) with a couple of hundred first team appearances under his belt. What's going to happen at Real? Playing for the B team or being sent out on loan is probably the best case scenario, disappearing without trace for a few years and then reappearing at a mid table side aged 22 is entirely possible too.

krisagg75 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 how much has he/his dad got though,heard his dad will be some kind of coach so he's on the gravy train.he most likely has been promised as part of the deal a pro contract when he is old enough.could set him up for life.guessing real haven't paid big bucks so probably not a great outlay for them and worth the risk.

Genie Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Would be difficult to turn that kind of money down. Even if he flops, he'll still only be 20 in 4 years and he can move to a more sensible club then... complete with millions in the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Some reports of his wages being £80k a week If I was 16 and on £80k I'd be putting a stone a month on and be getting used to that little umbrella... Ridiculous if he's on half that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Apparently Real Madrid have a really good Scottish player in their B team. Would imagine he'll get loaned out somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Head a look, jack harder, born in Spain to Scottish parents, couldn't find how long he's been with them for, born near Malaga and they scouted him, meant to have played well in the U19 CL this year and turned down Spain to play for Scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Jack Harper. He was born in Spain but he considers himself Scottish (dad doing his job properly there...) so he's played for Scotland at youth level. He's been at Real Madrid since 2009, he's under contract until 2017. He's got 4 in 6 for Real Madrid U19s this season as far as I can tell.

jacketspuds Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I remember when Freddy Adu was the next big thing. Good luck to the lad joining Real but I think he has made a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mistakes go, its not a bad one to make. One of those mistakes where you spend your late teenage years earning millions playing football with the best players on the planet.

Tomaszk Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 He's not on 80k a week. Few of their first team won't be on that! In Norway he'll have been on about £300 a week. If Madrid offered him 5k a week he'd probably sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
