I got that wrong - he's only been the top scorer once, but been the club's top scorer since he joined.
Still can't find Reyes in the top scorer's lists though.

At last I can see where all this "Reyes hates Arsenal" news stemmed from. I thought it a little unwise to slagg off team mates, even in confidentiality. The Spanish words he used have been taken the wrong way.
The words he used in Spanish, although sometimes can be used to the effect of "bad", are more commonly used in terms of performance. Ie. they are "below par", "not at their best". He was talking about their performance. It all seems to be a little clearer looking over what he said now.

Wich year was he Sevilla's top scorer? Baptista has been their top scorer for a couple of years as far as I'm aware. Maybe Sevilla will get Reyes back - Baptista is moving to Atletico at the end of the season.
And I think they do want Owen, he does get a lot of time on the pitch. They can't really give him a first team place over Ronaldo, he's been the league's, never mind club's, top scorer for some years, and Raul is not only one of the league's all time top scorer's, but is a massive fan favourite, supported the club as a child, came up through the junior ranks etc. It would take a brave coach to replace Raul in the starting line up.
Robinho should be good to fill in that fourth striker slot (Portillo isn't really good enough for the team) or replace Zidane in the attacking midfield position. Hopefully he'll do well, although I can see him taking a bashing at the hands of certain defenders like Puyol.

Luxemburgo + Robinho for example.

He was definitely Sevilla's top scorer, because I noticed him before he was linked with Arsenal.
Besides, I don't think Real want Owen or Reyes. There are others that would fit the bill better.

Actually, I don't think that's right. I've just checked soccer-spain.com's top scorer lists going back a years, and I can't see him on any of them. Maybe he was Sevilla's third top scorer, but not in La Liga.

Scrap that misread your point
He still wouldn't play first team regularly. Zidane and Figo would come above him in the pecking order for attacking midfielders. But Figo could leave at the end of the season, and if not looks like he will at the end of his contract, and Zidane has said he'll retire when his contract runs out in 2007, so they'll need replacements.
Robinho is able to play in an offensive midfield or centre forward role I believe, so I still don't think they really need Reyes. Don't forget they also have on form Solari, who's just signed for another four years, and Guti, who can play in almost any midfield position.

I was intending for Reyes to be considered as an advanced attacking midfielder, as he was for Seville. 3rd top scorer from wide left midfield is quite some achievement. Full of energy too, which Madrid need at the moment.
Reyes might have been the third top scorer, but Owen is currently top scorer per minute in La Liga. And they already have Ronaldo, who has been the top scorer for a few years running.
The only reason I could think for Real doing a Reyes for Owen swap is Robinho coming in at the end of the season. He'd be the third choice, so they wouldn't need Owen, and Reyes could replace Portillo as fourth choice. But I think they'd rather have both Owen and Robinho so they could have an excellent strike force in any combination and would be able to rotate.
