Capello's comments regarding Raul, from yesterday (i believe):
http://goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=508144
| Quote: |
"When I took over as coach of Madrid for the second time for the 2006-07 season it appeared that the main priority was to loan out Raśl," Capello said.
"Why? Well, the first reason was his age and then the huge salary he earned in comparison with his performances on the pitch.
"In my first meeting with the president and technical staff I expressed my doubts about what they had told me.
"I said that supporting a player who was almost 30 with his class and his personality was fundamental for the team."
While Raśl may have only scored five goals in 26 league appearances during the 2005-06 campaign, Capello was well aware of his status among the fans and the squad.

Now, call Capello a liar if you want, maybe he is, but according to him Real Madrid were planning to offload Raul when they hired the Italian coach. Wouldn't that mean that he had trouble finding his place in the team? I mean, surely, if the executives at your club were happy with him they wouldn't have even mentioned the possibility of selling/loaning him to Capello.
I'm sorry for re-igniting this silly little argument, but you can't just call people liars (you said i "made it up") and expect a pat on the back.
8 goals so far
