season ended...not a successful one...transfers happening...but first its time for analysis for current squad...
1.Iker Casillas : goalkeeper
played 52 matches in all competitions for real Madrid...conceded 40 goals only...3yellow n a red card...was impressive throughout the season...but lacked some leadership qualities wen team needed motivation...his performance against barca in 5-0 defeat was a nightmare...but his performance in Madrid's win in copa final was pinnacle of this season...
verdict 7/10
don't even think about selling him...a club legend and captain...
2.Antonio Adán : 2nd choice goalkeeper
played only six matches for real Madrid...made his debut this season...kept two clean sheets...not much of playing time for d lad to prove his capability...failed to impress in reserve games also...
verdict 5/10
don't sell...impressive in debut season...heir to the throne of casillas wth de gea on the way to united...
3.Raúl Albiol : defender
played in 32 matches for real Madrid...mostly used by mourinho for rotating the first eleven...didn't score a goal...7 yellow cards and a red...he showed some flashes of talent...but in all failed to impress to keep him in squad and first team player...didn't play to his potential in clasicos...
verdict 5/10
sell him...for new players use a fee+player deal...
4.Ricardo Carvalho : defender
the 33 year old defender was the base of Real Madrid defense for 48 matches...opened scoring for real Madrid in the season...was at the heart of defense...3 goals scored and 17 yellow and 2 red cards...the goal difference Madrid had at the end of the season was partly due to carvalho...
verdict 8/10
don't sell...atleast for this season...
5.pepe : defender
28 year old defender was named anti-messi this season thanks to his performance against barca as a defensive midfielder...suited perfectly alongside carvalho in other matches...played 40 matches...a goal n assist...13 yellow n a red...has potential of being an ace for Madrid in defense...
verdict 8.5/10
don't sell anti-messi...will be the backbone of Madrid defense in a year...
6.Álvaro Arbeloa Coca : defender
played as left back,right back,central defender...every time mourinho needed him he was playing as per his standards...in clasico did a good job controlling messi,villa...in all played 43 matches...a goal,an assist,12 yellow n 2 red...in all satisfactory performance of a player of his standard...
verdict 6.5/10
don't sell...a perfect bench player...low salary,high work-rate,did well wen asked...
7.Marcelo : defender
most improved player this season...23 year old played 50 matches...his dangerous forward runs along with his improved defensive qualities showed he has the potential of being the best left back...his link up play with ronaldo was treat to watch...5 goals,7assists n 9 yellow...but his moment came wen he won a penalty for Madrid in a clasico at bernabeu...
verdict 8/10
don't sell him though Coentrao is set to arrive...future Brazil international must remain in Madrid...
8.Sergio Ramos : defender
another improvement of the season...forward runs , shots on goal,headers on set pieces well done boy...played 45 matches this season...4 goals,2 assists,19yellow,2 red...his performance against tottenham,barca,atletico,ac milan...bravo...tackling was robust n well executed throughout the season...lacked consistency though...
verdict 7/10
don't sell him...Spain international has potential to be the best right back in the world
9.fernando gago : midfielder
played only 7 matches this season...less playing time to analyze...was injured for most of the season...he should be sold instead of wasting a player like him...in all a wasted year...
verdict 2/10
sell him...he has lost faith in himself n is a bit injury prone
10.Lassana Diarra : midfielder
played 38 matches...2 assists n 15 yellow cards...a good player but lacked consistency n concentration...robust tackling n physical play...still not a single red in the season...has lots of room for improvement in attacking play...
verdict 6.5/10
sell him...nothing is wrong with him but to make room for new players sell him...
11.Esteban Granero : midfielder
mourinho admired him for his excellent work rate...played 32 matches...2 goals,3 assists,7 yellow...played as attacking mid,center mid n defensive mid...every-time he impressed the manager n fans...needs more playing time though...
verdict 6.5/10
don't sell him...bench player but whenever asked performed well...
12.Pedro León : winger
wasted season...15 games only...2 goals...needs to be transferred to some other club...
verdict 4/10
sell him or release him...a failed signin...
13.sergio canales : midfielder
15 matches n an assist...youth prospect for a world-class team...impressive...needs more playing time...
verdict 5/10
loan..not enough playing time...youngster like him needs playing time to improve...
14.sami khedira : midfielder
played 39 matches...2 assists...7 yellow...missed few matches due to injury...played alongside Alonso...sometimes impressed with his tackling and defensive work but in all didn't fit in the teams attacks n defense...his inability in defense made Alonso work in defense more n that caused Xabi Alonso playing defensively....lots of improvement needed...
verdict 5.5/10
don't sell him...though he failed sometimes,he has the potential n work-rate too...
15.xabi alonso : midfielder
another great performer of the season...was the defensive shield for Madrid throughout the season...helped pepe n carvalho in defense n created lots of goal scoring opportunities for attacking players to score...corners n free kicks improved a lot...but disappointed in clasicos...improvement in attacking technique...52 matches...1 goal... 6 assists... 19 yellow...1 red...
verdict 7/10
don't sell him...galactico...worth of each penny spent...
16.Karim Benzema : striker
improved player...but still failed to impress wen team needed...played 46 matches...scored 26 goals,8 assists...netted many goals,created many but still a failure as per his standards...many matches his presence on field was nominal ...should be sold....player of his standard getting less time on field results in failure...
verdict 6.5/10
sell him...not at all a mourinho style player...failed against barca wen team needed him mostly...
17.Gonzalo Higuaín : striker
was injured for major part of the season...as season started,he played well...scoring goals regularly...was consistent in the beginning...25 matches...13 goals...6 assists...stats would have been more emphatic if wasn't injured...
verdict : 6/10
sell him at a right price...he can play as a sole striker but he fails to deliver against big teams...
18.Ángel Di María : winger
signed in last summer...great player...53 matches played... 9 goals scored...19 assists...n most no.of penalties won for a club in a season in la liga...n lots n lots of dives...but his dives took away referees attention from ronaldo...speed,work-rate,tackling,shots,dribbling that's it...di maria was worth buy for Madrid...runs,defensive abilities,link up with ramos,switching flanks with ronaldo...he did everything n won praise from Madrid...
verdict 7.5/10
don't sell...was bargain buy...n will be successful for many years to some...
19.kaka : midfielder
injured for most of the season...wasted season...Madrid crowd wanted to see kaka who won everything at Milan...but due to less playing time he failed to deliver...everybody questioned mourinho wen kaka didn't play in clasicos...everybody hoping kaka staying at bernabeu next season n proving his worth...20 games played...7 goals scored...5 assists...
verdict 5/10
though he didn't perform (which was due to less playing time),don't sell him at any
cost...he is a true galactico...be patient give him enough playing time to prove himself...
20.Mesut Özil : midfielder
rise of Mesut Özil resulted in fall of kaka...14 million signing from Bremen...sensationally made his place at the heart of bernabeu with his simple ways...many people around the world saw him as next zinedine zidane...n he is...53 matches played...10 goals scored...25 assists...heart of Madrid midfield...next Madrid is to be built around him...m damn sure for many years to come he ll be carrying Madrid to new heights...but needs to work on his stamina...his only failure was first clasico...
verdict 8.5/10
don't sell...instead think about building team for next 10 years around him...
21.Cristiano Ronaldo : winger
best player for Madrid in the season...53 matches played...53 goals scored...16 assists..stats say it all...he is pure magic when in full flow and resembled poetry in motion at his pinnacle...helped his team win copa n score 102 goals in league in consecutive season...scored 7 hat-tricks in the season...under mourinho played as a team player n result he is back on cards as d best player in the world...his free kicks were best this season...penalty kicks were on target...headers were spot on...defensive abilities were improved...his performance in copa final was d best til date...complete player...
verdict 9/10
dont even think about selling CR7...yeah if you getting 200million for him then its OK to sell... :D
