Alvaro Arbeloa is back after having come up with the Real Madrid cantera, playing briefly with Deportivo, followed by several years at Liverpool.

Last night after work I watched an interview with him on Real Madrid TV and he looked really happy and excited to be back. He said everything was familiar to him, he had lots of friends here and it was a dream to be back to play for the first team, something he never expected.

When asked about Christian Ronaldo he said that he was really happy to have him on his own team, that he was a nightmare to mark when they played against each other in the Premiere League.

With another Spanish player (and previous youth squad player – after rebuying Granero) it seems that Perez is more serious about making the base of the team more Spanish which is probably good for Real Madrid.

Even though we have so many players already I would love to see Ribery on board, he really seems anxious to come. Its too bad Bayern won’t sell him. My wife is French so the more great French players on the team, the better the chances she actually takes interest in watching matches with me and actually going down to the stadium!
