Do Real Madrid really need a third established striker – La Liga Special
The transfer window came and went but one question remained unanswered: do Real Madrid really need a third attacking outlet in presence of Gonzalo Higuain and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350?
Jose Mourinho, with all the transfer control that could be afforded to him, did not find a suitable reinforcement, or perhaps he was just happy with whatever he had. But the press seem to think otherwise and the rumour mill continues to work on full throttle.
Names of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Neymar-c27639 to this bundle and you have a circus of contradicting news at your disposal.
It does not look likely that Mourinho is unhappy with the squad that he has. All incoming players, barring http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251 who is yet to make his debut because of a long-term injury, have made good starts to life at Santiago Bernabéu, making regular appearances
in domestic and European competitions.
The league standing does not point towards a scary position, with the La Liga giants enjoying a comfortable third place position, one point behind joint leaders http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 and Levante. Only six games have been played after a delayed start and Jose Mourinho
should be pleased with the efforts his charges have put through.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 has started where he had left off last season, banging in goals left, right and centre. Karim Benzema has made a fiery start and has taken the chances afforded to him. Gonzalo Higuain has put his injury woes firmly behind him and has returned
to his hat-tricks scoring self, as evident by his terrific performance against Espanyol.
Amidst such good news, it is noteworthy to point out Kaka and Mesut Ozil shining in Los Blancos outfit together. Jose Mourinho has a squad firing on all cylinders, with able deputies on the bench.
Do Real Madrid really need another super star in the dressing room? The question begs to be answered.
Big players come with bloated egos that need to be stroked every now and then to keep them in order. Carlos Tevez, who has been provided everything he could ask for in Manchester, has shown his dark side repeatedly with the Citizens. Simply put, Mourinho
cannot afford to take on board a player who would risk the team harmony.
Moving to younger lot of players, the likes of Neymar and Chicharito need maximum first team minutes for their prodigious talents to be nurtured. With their careers and best years ahead of them, a switch to Real Madrid for either of the two can put their
growth on halt; they are more than likely to warm the bench in consecutive matches, such is the competition at Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid have immensely talented individuals who can adapt to different positions and formations with ease. Should first team options be limited, Jose Callejon and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-c5280 Morata have shown in the preseason that they can shoulder the responsibility when
presented with the chance. Jose Mourinho did not bother signing more high profile strikers in the summer and the fans should trust his judgement.
