SALGADO BACKS WALKER

Former Blackburn Rovers defender Michel Salgado has said that Tottenham defender Kyle Walker would be a great signing for Real Madrid, who are in the market for a new right back. The former Sheffield United defender has impressed in his first full season with the club. He scored a spectacular goal in recent match against Blackburn Rovers.

Ever since moving Sergio Ramos to the centre of defence, Real Madrid have been without a good quality right back. They recently have the Liverpool defender Arbeloa Arbeloa doing the job at the right side of defence, but it is thought that Jose Mourinho would be interested in bringing a young high-quality defender.

The former Real Madrid defender Michel Salgado has said that Kyle Walker would be a perfect fit for Real Madrid. The 35-year-old Michel Salgado was recently released from Blackburn Rovers after an agonising six months of hatred within the club. Michel Salgado had announced six months ago that he intended to leave Blackburn after the end of the season to go and play MLS football with David Beckham.

Immediately after his announcement, he was forced away from the first team by the manager Steve Kean. Even though he has been appalled at the way he has been treated in the last six months, Michel Salgado insisted that he has no regrets.

“He (Walker) moves up the field like a bullet. He is really quick and he does a lot of damage in attack, while he is better at the back. For me, he is the best, but his price could make a transfer impossible. Brazilian full-backs are all the same. Spectacular while moving up the field, but they create problems to any team in defence. It is impossible to create damage in attack and defend at the same time. You have to see what Mourinho wants,” Salgado told Man Utd News.
