Rafa Watch

[Shaggy]

I think Messi, Suarez and Neymar is the best forward line in the history of football, so Rafa will be up against it. Whoever goes in there is gonna fail IMO.

Also, Real Madrid despite being the richest club in the world are ****. Look at their recent record:

1 league title in 7 years
3 league titles in 18 years

In what's basically a two team league, that is amazing.

[Muddled]

I really want Rafa to do well, but I don't want Real Madrid to win anything.

I also think Ronaldo will go to PSG this summer.

[baitman]

benching ronaldo will be comedy gold.

While I perfectly understand the ambition to manage that club he started at you know the fans will give him no time esp if they don't win everything about 4-0 early doors and he'll be gone by this time next year. Still, with any luck Madrid and Man Utd will be drawn together at some point!

One season wonder.

He is on a hiding to nothing as the fans don't want him and he won't play the style of football they want. Can see him falling out with Ronaldo as well.

Most managers at Real are one season wonders atm, so no harm in that I guess. It's almost no matter what a manger win/does there is no pleasing them - it's a shambles of a club IMO.

It's really difficult to know if Rafa will be a succes, really depends on him getting a say or not in the summers transfers. Not something Real gives a lot of.

Yeah, that's kind of my gut feeling too.

Hopefully that's not the case though and he does well there.

Looks like it'll be confirmed next week then.

Really looking forward to seeing how Rafa does at Madrid.

Many asking about Rafa. He doesn't want to enter into negotiations with Real Madrid till after a week Monday when Serie A ends... 1/2

... Real want Rafa and they normally get what they want. Plus, he knows his former club well and deserves a go at it 2/2

[BobTheCharmer]

He brushed him.

[MrMichael]

I think his reaction was too quick for there not to have been...

Edit... yeah

[BobTheCharmer]

I'd like to see another angle of that, not convinced there was a lot of contact.

[Shaggy]

Unreal headbutt that.

[Kenneth]

Absolutely disgraceful.

That's a proper head-but, none of that girly **** you see most players doing these days. Well done lad.
