Ready For Sevilla In The CDR, More Awards & A Goodbye For Now

Man, this week is flying by. It’s already time for us to meet Sevilla tomorrow.

It’s Official: Borja Mayoral To Wolfsburg On Loan

Mygypsyspirit is going to be one sad panda. Borjita and his luscious locks are off to Wolfsburg on loan. Our head Pip is leaving!

The Daily Drool: Marco Asensio

Attacking midfielder Marco is currently on loan to Espanyol from Real Madrid. He has represented Spain at the U16, U19 and U21 levels. It may be just me, but doesn’t he look like the love child of Pique and Cesc in this picture?

It’s Official: Lucas Silva Off On Loan To Marseille

Woobins, we hardly knew ye! Lucas Silva has been sent on a season long loan to Marseille (where he can hopefully bromance with my boo Remy Cabella who recently signed with them).

Real Madrid C. F. have reached an agreement to loan the player Lucas Silva to Olympique de Marseille until 30 June 2016.

Best of luck, Lucas!

It’s Official: Fabio Heads Off To Monaco

The exodus continues… Fabio is off to AS Monaco on loan for the season.

Real Madrid C. F. have reached an agreement to loan the player Fábio Coentrão to AS Monaco until 30 June 2016.

Rumors that Gareth Bale masterminded this move to get Fabs away from Cris have not been substantiated. All I know is that Cristiano’s vegetable garden will be safe for the first time since 2011.

Gracias, Fabio!

Mateo Trains & Talks, Pepe Returns, Marco Moves On

Lady Edith welcomes Mateo to Downton Abb…erm,  Cuidad Real Madrid

Mateo had his first training with the team today and his Croatian National Team buddy Lukita was there to welcome him with some shared thumbs-upping.

UPDATED: El Pirata’s Presentation!

Real Sociedad wasted no time going after the man they wanted and I heartily approve! The loan was announced yesterday. He had his physical in London, was accompanied on a noon flight to San Sebastian by La Real’s president Jokin Aperribay and visited the facilities upon landing. He was presented at 4:00 PM and had his first training right after. His paperwork with the LFP is all sorted out and he’s eligible to play in tomorrow’s match, which is good because he was called up!

Pirata’s Arrival At La Real

Here’s a little video of Esteban checking out La Real’s facilities to tide you over until all the pictures of his presentation at Anoeta come out (it’s going on right now).
