Looks like the sale of Valencia is still set to happen with Peter Lim. Should be finalized soon. he wants to spend in the winter window and super deporte reported that he wants to bring Falcao back to Spain this summer...could be interesting to see if Valencia can challenge next season

It was very obviously a political move at the time, not just in retrospect.

A lot of people thought benching Casillas was a simple punishment for being the (probable) source of leaks in the dressing room and would be a temporary situation.

Hegav posted:

Who cares. He's a legend for both Spain and the club.
This line of thought is the reason Sergio Ramos hasn't been benched despite playing like poo poo in 80% of matches in the last few years.

What the hell happened to him? Is he really that bad now or is he just not up to Real Madrid standards? When's his contract up anyway?

I just think he's retarded. He's nowhere as good as Marcelo and doesn't have the same understanding with Ronaldo as Marcelo does. Of course he's not playing too much either but he was a really stupid purchase I think.

His contract is up in 2017, so a million years.

Casillas hasn't played in the league in a whole year, last time was January 20th 2013, unbelievable stuff.

Presumably happy to be making lots of cash at a club where he's not good enough for the first team and not wanted. The Spanish Winston Bogarde. Disgusting.

Well, let's see... He started at La Fábrica, spent his entire career at Real, is THE club captain and most of the fans love him. Del Bosque made it perfectly clear that he's Spain's number 1 for the foreseeable future too. That and he's got a contract until 2017 with a pretty hefty release clause, so unless he wants to go, Real can't really do anything about it. I can't for a second imagine he'd want to go, though.

Casillas will leave in the summer unless he gets playing time. There's no doubt about this.

I'd understand the Casillas debacle a wee bit better if he was some aged relic, but he's only 32, which seems crazy to me because he's been around forever.

Where could he even go though? Nowhere in Spain and I imagine he's built his whole life around the assumption that he'd be playing out his career in Madrid. I suppose he could fly to Manchester or Paris every week if required.
