Madrid Wasn't Built In a Day - The Interim Transfer Thread

I'd buy Mbappe for whatever price Florentino thinks is worth it. If Florentino goes out and spends 300M, I'm comfortable with that. His track record gives him that benefit of the doubt.

 

Which leaves it open for interpretation which means your guess is as good as anybodies. Or not?

Also if you would respect yourself you'd rather admit of doing crack than watching espnfc in public. At least there's cure for drug addiction.


People are really falling for this topic every time and it's sad. As soon as there's an Mbappe rumour people start putting their hopes up. Mbappe has a contract to 2022. They are not talking anybody before June 2021. And that's if he doesn't renew his contract.

 

The most creative player is Odegaard who is at 2 goals and 3 assists so far this season. Goals from midfield this is not.

 

This is supposed to be bad?

 

Is it the kind of production we'd be looking at if we wouldn't already own the player?
Samuel Chukweze has 2 goals and an assist in far fewer minutes and is 20 years old. Not that this is an exceptional talent, just as a comparison for the numbers.

Odegaard has been pretty good this season but at this moment I don't see a player that would be starting for Real Madrid in a CL quarter final for example.

I have to admit though that I am not buying into the hype for Odegaard in the first place. He's having Esteban Granero at Getafe level performances and we're gassing him up just like we did with Llorente.

 

Odegaard plays in a far more advanced position than all of them. Great job comparing apples and oranges.

Again, I'm not saying Odegaard is playing badly. But I read here that he's "amongst the best in the league" and I notice that were stacking way too high again.

 

And Kroos has one more goal and one less assist in more minutes too, "just as a comparison for the numbers".

 

Hence why I said a midfield that includes him isn't high in creativity and goal production. Thank you for agreeing with me.

 

And who are your solutions to that that can provide a high goal and assist output?

 

I'd rather play Hazard as an attacking midfield player right now than Odegaard and look at somebody with the speed to work the left flank.

Odegaard could prove to be a fantastic player for us, but at this very moment I think Hazard would be better at what Odegaard is doing at LA real compared to what he's told to do with us.

 

So I figured, no actual solutions, just bringing down the contributions of the player. Odegaard is literally playing the same role that Kroos is playing in this team, but hey, who needs to watch games, am I right?

 

I disagree, but hey. He's played in attack, on the side in a diamond shape and in Central midfield. Certainly not as a 1:1 Kroos replacement over the entire season but yeah.

At this moment I don't see him as a starting lineup level player for Real Madrid.

You'll have to live with that I'm afraid.

 

And who said he is? Last I checked, we were talking about players coming in and filling in the squad roles behind the current starters. And I'm afraid he can do that quite well, and you'll just to live with that.

 

If Hazard’s future is on the left flank, he's not staying for the entire contract I can tell you that.
