Morning everyone. Fantastic result last night. Let's hope we can keep it up and get a positive result at the weekend. I have a question for ed001 if you're about mate. If I can remember correctly we were heavily linked with Raul in the summer of 05, as a kid at the time I can remember being incredibly excited and getting my dad to buy a paper almost everyday to try and keep updated. Do you know if there was any ever truth in the rumours? I absolutely think we'd have won a couple of titles with him leading the line, awesome player. Thanks for your time on the site.
Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - there was truth in the interest and the possibility, as he was a bit of an arse behind the scenes there at times. There was a portion of the club that wanted him out, but they feared for the backlash from the fans if Raul was sold, so it ended up going nowhere.}

Good thing that did not happen. Love Raul to bits ans is a RM legend but like Ed said, he was a true definition of the phrase, "Cancer in the dressing room".

But would he have been outside of Real? Was he a problem at Schalke (i think)?
