Wow.

I knew these two guys were awesome but it's amazing at how quickly they have adapted to each other. They look quite simply brilliant at the heart of the Real Madrid defense.

Yeah they are perfect when playing together.

Ramos is fast, can tackle and also head when needed.

Woodgate is very strong physically and you don't see him lose a header in the CD.

Ramos is still VERY VERY young for a footballer and mostly for a CD, while Woodgate isn't old either but if his injuries leave him alone, we can have this class partnership for 6-7 years, and then offcourse someone else to partner Ramos who still has 15 more seasons to go :pp

Let's not get our hopes up.

We all know Woodgate's going to get injured within the next couple of weeks.

funny, but i have the feeling that Woody is stabilizing his body more and more and with the performances shown this season, i am absolutely satisifed!
hope he'll stay healthy.... :thumbsup:

woodgate seems to be a good player, but there is always a FRAGILE sign above his head which is a scary thing, seeing him playing i always expect that there is a chance that he will calapse than finishing the 90 mins....

we need a WC defender to come in the summer even if woody stays fit, cause we cant trust helguera or pavon anymore...

I read in an interview that he was working very hard to get his muscles flexible, even after training. Thing is that if Woodgate needs a rest we always have Mejia.

I keep forgetting how young Ramos is, to be such a player at 19 and playing at such a massive and pressure ridden club is truly amazing. He's going to be a rock in our defence for the next 15 years :proud:
:thumbsup: :star: :proud:

Indeed. :thumbsup:

Thus far, they have displayed what has been undetectable for a long while now: stability, and (as a supporter) the lessening of discomforting apprehensions; i.e. a stale Helguera and a futile Pavon.

All in all, both are simply exceptional. :)

This partnership is very intriguing to say the least. Ramos is, of course, the darling of Madrid. In Ramos, many of the fans see a reincarnation of Hierro and almost certainly the future captain of Real Madrid. Ramos is a lock.

Most of the intrigue surrounds Woodgate. The most agonizing thing about his injuries is that, in the short time that he has been on the pitch, he has shown enough brilliance to tease the fans of what might come should he become regularly fit. The man obviously has skills but how long will it be before fans do not hold their breath with every tackle he makes?

But for whatever it's worth, when Woody is on the pitch, I like what I see. Barring his horrendous start, he's physically strong, an absolute bulldog on his mark and, most important, he has a nose for the ball and cuts the opposing buildup calmly and efficiently, with none of the skittishness that we expect from the likes of Helguera and Pavon.

Woodgate maybe be playing well right now. But Please Perez, buy a World Class CB to play next to Ramos next season.
The good thing about this is that Woodgate now has four months to prove his fitness and ability. If he plays at this level for the rest of the season without getting injured, he deserves to start again next season, no doubt.

i hope thats a joke....like sayin pavon could mark ronaldinho out of a game?!

on a serious note...do u not all think ramos is a better right back than centre back?

I'm sure no one at Madrid or Newcastle will confirm that, although personally, i think it could be true.

One more long-term injury to Woodgate and I'm sure Perez will want a "refund". But if Woodgate stays solid for the rest of the year, he will stay at Madrid and no word will ever be said of a possible transfer.

#1) Mejia is good.

#2) The difference between Woodgate and Mejia and Ronaldinho and Pavon is considerably different. Very different cases.

#3) Ramos is wonderful as a CB.

#4) We have Cicinho, Salgado, and Diogo as RBs.

ah, salgado = past it, diogo = terrible and cicinho is very quick and very good going forwards, i doubt his ability to defend yet when has that ever mattered to real madrid!?

and no, mejia is not good, accept it, i accept oleguer and gabri isnt good enough for barca, you need to accept half ur squad needs changing! :thumbsup:

i like ramos, but think hes a better right back and madrid would be better off wi woody and a very good centre back (cannavaro)
