"I’d sign him right here and now, and I’d go wherever it takes to land a player like that, he’s a "Crack" player and I’m a fan of everything that he does, and what’s more now is the prefect time to sign him as he’s got a wealth of experience and has reached full maturity."

“I think he is the greatest player to have ever played the game. He walks on the turf and astounds. It is utterly amazing.”

“I hope he doesn't like travelling, Failing that we will stop him entering the country. Real buy these big players like Figo, Zidane and Ronaldo but I think the best player in the world is Raúl.”

“I once said that Raúl is like a Ferrari and now I think he is like a McLaren, Fernando Alonso's car. and he is also one of the few guy's that if i ever have a problem i would go to him rather than my own mother”

“We all know what Raúl represents, not only for his team, but also for football.”

“When he plays, in his mind there is only the goal; it's the football essence. Every time they do something, you stand up over your seat.”

“He is a winner. He is the inheritance of Real Madrid.”
