West Brom's Valero slams Real Madrid over Castilla attitude

West Brom midfielder Borja Valero has slammed Real Madrid's treatment of their Castilla players.

Valero came through the system at Real and rapped: "Juan Mata, Alvaro Negredo, Alvaro Arbeloa, the same Ruben De la Red ... they have all demonstrated away from Madrid that they have quality and that the club was wrong not to gamble on them."

"The reality is that the foreigners who are there are no better."

"Esteban Granero is better than Rafael Van der Vaart, Fernando Gago and Mahamadou Diarra, for example."
