Who will be the One?

So the news is already out that after 5 fresh signings Mou still wants to add another attacking threat to our ranks. Well if a player comes to Madrid then obviously he is talented but the problem is not of adding a talented striker to the team but of growing squad number in locker room. Real Madrid already has a very lethal attacking base. Gonzalo” Pipita” Higuain and Karim Benzema are two of the best young strikers in Spain with Cristiano Ronaldo maintaining more than a goal per game average for 2 years. Added to this is the meteoric rise of the “true #10” Mesut “El Buho” Ozil who just had the season that would soon shadow Kaka’s Italian feats. He scored 10 goals with 28 assists, now that’s quite a debut season but well if he continues this for next year then he would also be a quite a goal scorer! Like I said Real has money OKAY!!! But do we need another man upfront? For me it’s a no go. But still what are our options? Who is available? and are the available ready to play at Madrid? Let’s check it out…
What We haveRight now:
1.       Gonzalo Higuain
Well who doesn’t know him in Madrid. He is the poster boy for the Whites. He is also the nightmare for opposition. He is good on the ball and has the speed to beat the defenders in line but what he lacks is that killer instinct that Mou wants in his “true #9”. Our true “true #9” is Cristiano Ronaldo who scores goals just to piss his opponent off! Mou wants that. But this doesn’t means that Pipita is not a good striker. On the contrary he is and that is his main plus point. He has solid work rate and great commitment in a game. He runs hard, shoots hard. Accuracy is good but he is not technically gifted. Obviously he is too good to be sitting on bench but who knows. He surely knows every team here and is capable to change the game any time but with Real’s continuous interest in other strikers and a “waken” Benzema has shaken his post of the starting attacker that he used to be. He now competes with Benz week in week out for a place. He is trusted although he needs to capitalize on every start he gets to be a mainstay for coming competitions.

2.       Karim Benzema
Ohhh…the shy cat that just became a tiger when we needed him most; and what a tiger he became. Yes, Mou described him a cat when Pipita got injured! He is just 9 days younger than Gonzalo in age but decades younger if you ask for the La Liga experience. Gonzalo is here for almost 4 years and Benz was a newboy when he started his Galactico journey. He is a technically gifted lad who can well beat any Liga defender. Combined that with his speed and shooting skills you just get the striker who can demolish any defensive setup in mere seconds. Watch the goal he scored against Lyon in CL when he came off the bench and lead us to victory. But he is shy and that is not the characteristic of a center forward. A center forward must be able to communicate with his wingers and playmaker on the field. You know why Marcelo and Cristiano Ronaldo played all season long? Not just because they were performing fantastically but they had quite a partnership but because they are good communicators. Why Cristiano scores so many goals? Because he asks for the ball from Ozil and Marcelo often. And he provides results! If you don’t ask for the ball you don’t score, that’s it. Benz needs to ask for the ball. He needs to be a tiger on the pitch like he was for the last six months of the season. And he needs to do this coming season.

3.       Alvaro Morata
This canterano is not officially in the Real Madrid first team but he is our own Neymar (i hate to compare him with the Brazilian). He is the future of Real Madrid and Spain but surely he needs to grow and experience the Liga. He is the pride of Castilla. He has had some games with Real Madrid and he shone in them. He is already very popular that I’m sure he would be a rage when he signs for the first team! He has all the ingredients to become the next Raul although it’s too early to say that, but I just did so kick me. He has speed and enough technical ability for the age he is in. He is also confident of making big one day for the first team (Amen to that). He has self-confidence and the killer instinct that Mou wants but it’s again too early. So let’s wait.

What is available…?
1.       Sergio “Kun” Aguero
OKAY he is a talent. He currently plays for our cross-town rivals Atletico Madrid and like Fernando Torres he hates Real Madrid. Remember the old days when We tracked Torres for a while? Now this Kun saga reminds me of those days. Fernando didn’t choose us in fact he went to BPL and ruined his career but that’s something else. Also Aguero is a self-confessed Real Madrid hater! Now that is OKAY but what makes the situation tricky is that he is hell bent on leaving Atletico this summer. He says he prefers to stay in Spain. WOW! What a sweet way to say “Hey Real, Buy me! I’m yours.” If you see closely there are only two clubs which can afford him and they both are rivals, Real Madrid and Barca. Barca doesn’t look interested because they are chasing Sanchez, Rossi and yeah Cesc, Well they don’t have funds for either of them but they still chase. This leaves ONLY Real who can buy him. He also has attracted interest from Chelsea but they are no match for us. This boy has speed, he can shoot great, he is young and he knows La Liga. He has great working stamina and also tracks back. He like his flank and makes it for himself with his killer instincts. He has good dribbling skills but is a bad crosser of ball. He does not believe in through balls as he only gives ball when he is going down. He would be a bad fit at Madrid because he the crowd won’t let him be comfortable and also because he is terribly inconsistent. 

2.       Carlos Tevez
Bad boy boogie! This man is the perfect striker for Mou. He works extremely hard to score and has a great command on the pitch. He dominates the defenders with tireless work effort and unbearable body shocks. He has unparalleled will and determination to be on the top his game every second. His mentality is of a leader who is at the end calling for offence and would stop at nothing to end the game there that moment. He has almost flawless technique over the ball which shows off when he takes a turn with speed. He is experienced in BPL for more than 5 years so obviously he is well equipped for Liga torture which he can handle with ease. He strikes fear in opponents and wishes that it would be the only feeling in them when he leaves the field. He would form a terrorizing partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo who himself is peerless in skinning defenders. Mesut Ozil would also be not a problem. If Tevez can score 21 goals without a playmaker at ManCity, then he would almost have a shot at Pichichi if he arrives here. The crown would love him in fact they would make him his own. This guy doesn’t have any ego problems or money problems, the only problem he has is that he is home-sick! Now that could be a major obstacle if you are on the market but don’t want to go anywhere. He has a hefty price tag but that’s also a no-problem for us. Time will tell what develops.

3.       Emmanuel “Manolitho”  Adebayor
They say: If you want one thing pure heart, then the whole world’s systems begin working for you to get it; and for this guy it just looks like that it’s happening right now. Manolitho came in Madrid as a backup for Higuain as Mou didn’t trusted Benz that time. He wanted a break from his suffering from ManCity prison so he agreed a 6 month loan. A club like ManCity treats world’s top players like commodities, players like Tevez, Manolitho, Wright-Philips, Bellamy and Santa Cruz can tell you how they were treated. Even big ego players like Tevez and Emmanuel feel trapped there and now want to make free at any cost! Look at the pleading of Ade, what an egoistic player he used to be but now willing to even cut his fee to come to Madrid even though he knows that he won’t be the first choice.  A player needs freedom and respect from the surroundings to perform. But there is nothing of this sort at ManCity. Ade came here like a man who was just rescued from a lonely island. He tried his utmost best to mingle with the team in all the time he had, never missed any training session and even changed his character to make his stay permanent here. The respect and affection he got from the crowd is just enough to show how a talented player he is. He partnered Cristiano Ronaldo superbly and made friends with fellow attackers Ozil and Benz. This man is tall, muscled guy who likes to head the ball in the net. He shoots well and can run at good speeds. He has optimum stamina combined with his high work rate became the fan favorite in Bernabeu. He has every ones support right now to come back at the club but Mou wants to make a smart choice. If this man comes here he would dazzle the pitch with sheer determination just to see himself play respectfully! What a guy! What a player!
Who We are chasing
1.       Neymar
Dubbed as the next Robino and even the next Pele!!! I mean this dude has the predatory instincts but he is only 19. World giants Real Madrid and Barcelona are chasing him with cold hard cash in one hand and a jersey in the other. Other than all the normal center forward attributes he has the world’s worst haircut although it suits on his ego. He is lanky which means he is not a physical threat at least for now. He has been in top form for the past 6 months making enough solid performances to achieve a niche for himself at his club Santos. His agent and his club president are psychos for sure because they don’t know what is happening about the boy, they change their views every week about his future and they are certainly misinformed about the reach of these two mammoth clubs. They even intend to keep him until 2012. OKAY!!! He is probably Brazil’s best young talent right now and he is priced at more than ₨2,448.33 millions but when you are chased by some elite clubs you just don’t save your ass and run, you just cash in your player. Enough written about a 19 year old Dino-Mohawk.

This summer has been really a roller coaster ride for us, Madridistas. Surely We would achieve what the signings have been done for. They all look great and are ready to explode on the pitch. I wish best of luck to Mou in his pursue of the Treble and I will stand beside him and Real Madrid till the end of time! I also wish good luck to all the new arrivals and the ones who would soon arrive for a better future. If Mou still fancies a move for any One of the above then don’t be surprised because Mou is our Special One, not any of these.
