What the hell is up w...You guys are so damn blind.<br /><br />What the hell is up with you canterano-loving people? I've been a Real supporter for a lifetime, and never has the demand for canteranos been this high. What, is it because of the damn cules? Just because they use them, and get praised for it, we're suddenly jealous?<br /><br />I've always given a flying fuck about canteranos. They're nice to have, as they are Madridistas and home-made, but in the end, it's about winning matches. If a bunch of Portugeezers are better at it than some young Spaniards, then I'd rather see us play the former. <br /><br />And how many of you even know these Canteranos? You guys see a couple of matches, and then hear rumours, and suddenly you think we've got Ronaldos and Messis running around in Castilla.<br /><br />BREAKING NEWS: CASTILLA PLAYS IN THE FUCKING THIRD DIVISION! <br /><br />Barca have a reason to promote their youngsters ..= They're actually good at playing top-level football. They play in the segaund, and have for many years been the best reserve-team, along with Villareal B (ofcourse none of them can be promoted to primera). <br /><br />And I'm not saying WE don't produce the same level of players. We do. We have one of the best academies in the world. The different is; We don't KEEP them. You really thing Barca make many talents? Try to scout for their talents around the world. They've got VERY few top players. <br />Real Madrid? <br /><br />:Soldado, Borja Valero, Negredo, Juan Mata, Luis Garcia, Dani Parejo, Javi Garcia, Jurado, , just to mention a few players who are actually important to their team.<br /><br />Let's not forget people like Casillas, Raul, De la Red, and so on. <br /><br />We CAN make talents. Difference is, we don't give a FUCK about using them. And know you can call the waaambulance, or you can ask yourself .::: Why should we?<br /><br /><br />La Fabrica has always produced a shit load of talents. And we've always kept the best, (raul, Iker), made the others great footballers at other clubs (see above list), and kept the rest of the shitty bunch in La Fabrica for further improvement.<br /><br />Let me tell you a story about Raul. You think he was a shy, invisibile-almost, kid like Morata or Joselu? No, the guy had GUTS and SKILLS! He said to the coach one day, as a CANTERANO, that "if he wanted to win, play me, if you want to lose, play someone else". That kind of player shines, and you just know he's going to be big. <br /><br />None of our current canteranos are that. And proof? THEY PLAY IN FUCKING TERCERA DIVISION!!!<br /><br />The thing is, we've got our best canteranos on our team: Casillas, Alvaro Arbeloa and Callejon. Who more do we need? Carvajal, Morata, Josel, Jese, all these over-hyped players ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH. And if you believe that Mourinho is going to choose canterano X above foreign player Y, then you're mistaken. That's not the mentality here at Madrid,and I must say you are at the wrong club then. Maybe you should try Barca? <br /><br />It seems as if in the middle of all this Barca-dominance, people forget who WE are, and just want to copy Barca.. Suddenly Possesion-football is how we should play (therefore the cries about that bitch Del Bosque), canteranos were important, and all that shit about being "humble". <br /><br />But I guess that's how the world is. Some people will always be a liiitle bit smarter than others.

Well the last squad which had a proper cantenero base , was the one of 1995 , the year that raul got promoted ! before that we had tons of cantenero based squads and famous ones , but in the last 20 years there have been no managers that has a cantenero based squad that has achieved success.<br />2) And well to the part where you say Mou can't be a long term solution for buying players in the twilight of their age like Carvalho , altintop etc , why do you forget that he has also bought players like Ozil , di maria , sahin , khedeira ?? These are all in their early twenties ! And if they stay and do a great job , well you have a solution for the next 6-7 years , short term huh ?<br />3) to your statement , " But if we don't? " , well as you mentioned it earlier in your comment that if we don't then Mourinho will be gone (and hopefully with him , FP ) . I know we can't wait for la decima to come to give the canteneros a chance but we need to think of it from a coach's view even . Mou has the sword hanging on his head , if he delivers la decima , he stays , gets a breathing space for a year , where he can promote the cantenero , else he goes ! The problem here is not Mou , its FP , or the Real Management in general , who want trophies super fast !! Even SAF didn't win anything in the 1st 4-5 years at MU , but the club had patience , they gave him the time to build a team from scratch and we all can see the results today . The present Barcelona team also didn't win a lot in the earlier years , but they were allowed time , and we can see the heights they have reached today . <br />If Mou takes a risk with the castilla players and the gamble doesn't pay off , and we don't replenish our squad then what ?? He has to buy a couple of players this season ( though I myself don't get altintop use , unless lass had handed his transfer request before ) so that in case of injuries we have a back up . And if after buying these players , in case of less/no injuries he doesn't give them time to play in easy matches but gives castilla players tons of chances , then the player's will be super unhappy !!<br />So in the end I guess it all comes down to next season . We win big next year , system stablises a bit and castilla are given their chance , if not then mou gets fired and along with him , hopefully , FP and we get a new intelligent President , who is a little less impatient and gives time for the squad to be created from scratch ,and castilla get their chance !!<br /><br />P.s And yea as far as standard expectations at RM go , in the past 20 years <br />there has just been 1 standard expectation , that is win !!radhika biyanihttp://twitter.com/cutoradnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070500137055974513.post-10137825343667381122011-05-26T10:11:20.174+05:302011-05-26T10:11:20.174+05:30I think you take it a tad too far with your argume...I think you take it a tad too far with your argument, letting your emotions get in the way of your thinking. Of course, I'm not aiming that at you saying anything bad about Mou, since you know how i feel about Mou myself. What i direct this is about the expectations you have. Yes the campaign on the official website is over hyped and sugar coated, but there are positives to take from some of it. <br /><br />First of all, we have to be clear that Mou is NOT a guy to raise youth products. He had Santon at Inter who is one of the best up and coming right backs and he barely gave him a chance. This in itself makes giving 9 or 8 canteranos a chance to wear the shirt nice. <br /><br />Second of all, i don't think a canterano getting 300 minutes is the worse thing ever. If Morata is promoted right now and he is given the time that Canales is given and gets to start around 6 games in the season, then im happy. Why is that? Well because it is good for them to get experience of La Liga football. Even if its when the team is up 6-0 and they get 10 or 15 minutes. It gives them a chance to operate under less tense conditions. Not only that, but there is a big part that you are missing. Training with the first team under the coaching staff and under a manager like Mourinho and players like Xabi alonso, Ozil, Ronaldo and etc is vital to players that are so young. This in itself is good for the development of these players.<br /><br />Players like Pedro and Busi didn't get to start right away. They started training with the first team and when they were ready, they were given a chance. Our best players ATM are 18 years old. The likes of Sarabia, Morata, Alex and Carvajal can do well with some experience with training and some game action. After a year of doing that, i start expecting them to be more integrated in the squad. But this is a start. And it is better than nothing. And saying we want them as a vital part of the team or we don't want them in the team at all is a bit of a rash decision to make.<br /><br /><br />If we are going to be serious about the integration of these players into the first team, then we have to be realistic about it. The solution isn't to just loan them or keep them in Castilla. The solution is to take advantage of any chance that is given for any reason that it comes with.

Well as <br />Mou himself put it , he's not harry potter ! </i><br /><br />This is the standard expectation at Real Madrid. And many managers did build Cantera-centred and successful squads. Granted 8 months is too little time, unless he can deliver - especially the CL which i think is Real Madrid's focus at this point - by next season, he'll most likely be gone (and hopefully with him, Florentino Perez) <br /><br />Mou's definitely not the right long term solution that we so desperately need. We need a coach who wouldn't use players who're approaching the twilight of their careers (Carvalho, Altintop et al) and get a last hurrah out of them and then leave. I doubt Mou has a long term plan - if he has, we've yet to see it. Quick success formula never works. <br /><br /><i>maybe next season after we get "La Decima " (hopefully) &/or get a <br />league trophy that he'll get the chance to actually experiment</i><br />But if we don't? Morata and Sarabia are largely unproven at this stage. Unless Mou starts to gradually introduce them into the first team, we'll lose two extremely talented youngsters. This will be like a repeat of 2007 when we lost Mata. These guys are young and Mou can't suddenly one day decide he's going to call them up to the first team and throw them into the deep end without a float. Instead, like Deepak said, he needs to gradually introduce them - meaning they need to still be part of Castilla but getting more and more call ups AND substantial playing time with the first team. Bringing them on for the last 30 seconds or letting them warm the bench won't do any good either. <br /><br />And to do all this, we can't wait for La Decima. That may or no may not come soon, but these kids are growing up and offers are already pouring in. How long would they wait?Shttp://twitter.com/riverscollidenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070500137055974513.post-22031167910487096022011-05-25T16:08:18.445+05:302011-05-25T16:08:18.445+05:30I agree with the first para that RM website made i...I agree with the first para that RM website made it too big a deal to <br />show the no.s that 10 canteneros debuted along with the last para that <br />it's actually FP's fault ! <br />To think that mou is actually debuting <br />youth players to get the crowd support , well you can never know what <br />goes on his mind .
