Del Bosque lifts lid on Real Madrid's Premiership stars.

[simey85]

Didnt Anelka only score a few goals for them, something like 4 or 5?

think your right but two of those goals put them into a champions league final i think! definitley picked his moment!

[bazza76]

"One day," recalled Del Bosque. "Anelka came to training - but refused to take part. I asked him what was going on and he presented me with a video-tape which captured me not celebrating one of his goals!"

If this is true, chances are he would have a real big problem with Rafa aswell

Macca was a good player but not World Class. He wont those Cups cause Real were a good side at the time and their players were hungry, over the last few years they have all won what they wanted and there is no hunger in that squad. Its a shame and there board and fans are probably the most fickle in the world

Bollocks.

Most of the current team haven't won what they want. That team has aged and moved on, it's coping with this transition that is giving Madrid so much aggro at the moment. I don't doubt the hunger of most of the young players, but there is clear unrest and a lack of tactical acumen at the moment. Funnily enough, I think about the only signing that could rejuvenate Real is Benitez

Macca was world-class mate, he was an important part of the Madrid side that became so dominant arond the start of 2000, that's why it was so hard to accept when he left.

[James]

Sorry but he was class - don't blame him one bit for the way he left, in fact I was gutted when he did and remember celebrating like hell when he lifted those two Champions Leagues.

We could do with him back in the side now, he was highly under-rated in what he contributed to the team.

Bollocks.

Good player but not World Class not even a regular for England. He was a fantastic runner with the ball loved watching him play

[Dalglish]

McMananman was a tool. Nowhere near as good as people seem to think he was

[Ryan_Derrick]

macca could dribble put could hardly pass and certainly couldn't cross and although he did score goals if a remember rightly he could hardly shoot, he was skillful and popular but nowhere near as good as some people make him out to be

Would you rather the 95-98 version of Macca or Pennant in todays squad?

He has more assists than any other player in Liverpool history.

You're wrong.

He also scored in the Campions League final and was man of the match, so he played his part in a top side. He was at a team of superstars and didn't look like a fish out of water.

The galatico revoloution came in and he was filtered out, and look where it got Real, ****ing nowhere.

[fah-q]

Is this true?

He remains the most successful British player to have played the game overseas in terms of trophies and honours won. He is the only English player to have won the Champions League title twice in its current format
