Keep these players:\nCasillas, Sergio Ramos, Cicinho, Robinho, Baptista, Raul and Guti.\n\nGet rid of everyone else.\n\nSign these players:\nJoaquim from Betis, Chivu from Roma, Ashley Cole from Arsenal, Gerrard from Liverpool, and Ibrahimovic from Juve.\n\nAnd probably most important, bring back del Bosque as coach!

The players need some spankin' (figuratively, hehehe)!!! It's probably because they are already secured by earning big payloads playing for Madrid that is why they are not playing their hearts out. I think even if they make a major make-over in their line-up, they won't improve unless they will refocus their sights into making Real a force to fear and not as a force to admire. They were a force to fear before this last three seasons. The reason they lost that fear factor is because they aimed for "prestige" and it cost them their edginess. Creating the Galacticos is fine as long as it is a Galactico that is truly fearsome, that will command respect and with players that play as if they will die if they lose, not a Galactico that play as if it's an All-Star game full of eye-candy trickeries but has no incisive and defensive capabilities. One more thing, Real started their decline when they focused much on attack and not on defense. Makelele left, they didn't replace him. Hierro left, they didn't replace the void that gave them defensive solidity. Madrid should develop a complete team!  A type of team that they were developing during their past, fruitful years.

I don't think they really hold back... Let's just say that they do what they believe will be enough to get the result. (which is why they sometimes get jumped early on !)\n\nEven their manager says he isn't coaching them, he just facilitates talent. In other words - "here's a ball, go kick it into that net"\n\nThat mindset will get you past lesser teams but I think they will really struggle from now. Someone (or 2) really needs to step and make this tournament theirs, like Ronaldo did in France... and I can't see anyone doing that yet.

Hire a hitman to take out the best players of the other 19 teams in the Prem.\n\nJust because Harry produced a minor miracle in reversing an almost certain relegation, doesn't equate to producing a Championship winning team. \n\nSurvival is the the primary aim next season. If things are going well, building/grooming a side that can consistently stay up and secure a mid-table finish, in the years that follow.

They need to put more players on the european football to get experience and build up their bodies, that's where the best players are playing and where they face world-class players all the time.\n\nLike Zico said, the asian teams will never go further if they don't get more players playing in the world-class teams.\n\nOne choice would be to start importing players, and make their internal championships full of starts, then they would get the know-how required. They have to drop nationalism on clubs to achieve that.

Capello is rebuilding the team.  Something prior coaches didn't have the courage to do.  Ronaldo and Beckham and a few others need to be phased out...

no... real has got more than enough strikers... with the likes of ronaldo, robinho, baptista, raul, soldado... how could you possibly slip in antonio cassano in that list... he'll probably be like owen or morientes, not used so much... what a waste... i think they should more money on buying midfield players especially a playmaker and possibly a defender or two...

For the past seasons i've been a chelsea fan but now that i've heard players like shevchenko are going to chelsea i will think twice about being their fan come next season. Not that i hate chelsea but look at Real Madrid club right now and tell me where there are ranked as far as spanish soccer is concerned. They were a good team back then but once they started buying all superstars they stopped performing. Same will happen to chelsea if they are not careful.Good luck to Abramovich.

Can be used to do anything they want really. Clear debts, buy players, improve the stadium facilities etc etc.\n\nA certain amount goes to the agents involved in the transfers, and a bit to the player as well.

I think if they can get it together they can get top 4. Right now though, it just feels impossible! But I'm not giving up hope just yet...We've still got a ways to go. So, I think if they can just get their game together...If Raf can get things together again...They can be a winning team once more.\n\nGO REDS!

It seems difficult with teams such as Nottingham Forest and Bristol City in the league that you would win it. New start with a new manager, Ronnie Moore, who knows. Good luck anyway.

Not a chance,they are way short of the skill needed to go into the premiership and it would be a disastar for the club if they did as they would go straight back down.Another few years to build the team before going up against the big boys

The great Manchetser United with the new signings and talent. Chelski is getting to overloaded with good players and look what Real Madrid did (lose). West Ham will make the top 5.

Their midfield and defense are superb. The problem lies within their stikers. Last season, Milan Baros made a lot of opportunies with lil' Luis Garcia and Steven Gerrard supporting. This year, their top striker, although he's 6'7, can't even header the ball. Either they should teach Peter Crouch to play football, or buy a striker that can make things happen.
