REAL MADRID 2008: MORE NAMES TO SUBSTITUTE VAN NISTELROOY
November 20, 2008
The Hernán Crespo option has soured, as the Inter player wishes a
contract until 2010 & Real Madrid only wishes a loan until June
2009.
This has lead to speculation, with “Marca” giving the scoop that the
viable option could now be MAURO ZARATE (below) the Argentine
& LAZIO forward. The forward has had a great start to the season
with 7 goals from 11 games & has caught the attention of the big
clubs.
Lazio is considering exercising its buying option as the player is on loan
from Qatar team Al Sadd, which may complicate the Real Madrid
desires.
Another name doing the press rounds is Argentine forward & now
GENOA player DIEGO MILITO. The player is currently the leading
goalscorer in Serie A & knows well the Spanish League as he played
many seasons with Real Zaragoza.
Plenty of names being published & speculation is ripe at this moment.
Stay tuned!

November 20, 2008
Kids from the Congo give thanks to ATHLETIC DE BILBAO. This is
the best news today; it beats that AC Milan coach ANCELOTTI is
negotiating with Real Madrid (according to Marca) as Schuster´s days
are numbered & that Arshvin is closer to Real Madrid while Hernan
Crespo drifts due to his 2010 contract demands.
Here is the brief: Athletic de Bilbao donated Football gear & balls to the
children of Kiwu in the Congo region (Africa). In a sign of their deep
appreciation, the kids got together to make this video clip of their group
singing the At.Bilbao Club anthem.
It’s emotional stuff. A true sign of Football stretching ties beyond frontiers
& showing its human face. Football can break all barriers, as so with
Sport in general!
