No One Can Replace Arbeloa - Summer Transfers and Lies Thread 2016-17

If we're losing Morata in M'bappe's arrival then I'll be pissed. The only way I'd be comfortable with Benzema staying is if M'bappe has an automatic starting role. In that case, then it wouldn't make sense for Morata to stay. Either way, we have to handle this striker situation very carefully and I'll be waiting to see the outcome before I jump on any hype trains or other forms of transportation.

 

still we are loosing 2 and signing just one. theoritically

 

Whatever way we look at it , this is really foolish to let go of both James and Morata while holding on to Bale and Benzema .

Add to that CR7 , despite his stupendous form is not getting any younger .

James had good stats despite inconsistent starts and Morata did as much as is possible while being a substitute. We are preferring a 30 year old who has huge ups and downs ( mainly downs ) in his form, a 28 year old who has missed close to 50% playing time due to his injuries to players like James and Morata who have grit to fight it out , and also produce decent numbers when given opportunities.

Also, since we have shown that we may be playing the diamond formation it makes sense to keep James. Current striker market is also so thin - Morata has speed, strength , good technique , on top of it he is a cantanero , and has scored all kind of goals - what more does he need to do to get a fair look in ?

In all honesty, signing Mbappe is not a luxury, but a necessity.

 

Yea, can't let Morata go unless we are signing Mbappe. As for James, he wants to play in big games and that hasn't happened with Zidane. Asensio got above him in the pecking order in big games. So don't see him staying. I think we will have the same depth next season with Mbappe and Asensio getting more minutes. Plus Llorente will give competition to Casemiro. Theo is versatile as well.

 

In a world where Benardo Silva rakes in 80 mln , no way we are selling James for 42 mln .

This is going to be a long summer .

 

It ain't 80 but 70m euros i can see that city are buying well and young as well so people can understand the new policy of the club with us trying to purchase the likes of mbappe and theo.

CHOO CHOO

 

"This kid is funny. Sign him up Florentino!"

 

Varane on Mbappe:

"He is a very good player with a lot of potential. He has qualities that we recognize among the great players."

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HIM IN MADRID

"Of course I would be happy. Besides being French, would be well received in the locker room. We will probably have the opportunity to discuss it in Clairefontaine."

HYPE HYPE HYPE

 

Let's hope our manager does the same until the 70th minute next Saturday...

 

Even in a diamond formation, james would still be on the bench for isco. Unfortunatley james has no role at the club than as a rotational player. We have asensio on the bench that can fulfill james role, it's best to cash in on him and re invest.

Morata while good still needs playing time to develop which would be hard to come by here - he needs to be an undisputed starter somewhere else.

 

Sounds BS.

Téléfoot: Real Madrid have revised their offer for Kylian Mbappé to match €130m - Monaco haven't responded to either https://t.co/s5Czf552j5

What do you mean he has no role as rotational player.
Is that why he came in with only 7 minutes left against Barca and scored the equalizer.
James had much better goals/assist per minutes than Asensio.
He was directly involved in ~23-25 goals this season which is remarkable for a part time player.
If Bale is gone and James stays, I can actually see James getting more starts. He is already world class when he plays consistently, we've seen it in his first season here. If we get that same type of performance out of him or better we would be in pretty good shape attack wise.

 

No they haven't. Monaco simply trying to squeeze the most out of the transfer to Madrid. https://t.co/1DcatKA325

Indeed

 

Really true don't really know where he gets his informations from but given the way i want mbappe to come here it keeps me dreaming lol.

But you have to agree with because there was a rumour about a bid from liverpool which was quickly denied by them and could pretty much be monaco trying to make it seem as if there is a lot kf interests just too squeeze more money,understandable.

Also a lot of people say he is too young should stay at monaco and come here after the world cup but football goes so fast,an injury and he might never recover his form.

Also the money side of things if i am correct players get 10% of the transfer fee which would mean 10m euros before tax for mbappe so 7.9m euros after the 45% taxes which would represent a lot of money for him and cover for him just in case he geta injured and has to stop his career young career,hopefully he never comes to that.

Mbappe is the real deal and could be the best striker in the world for the next decade and having th3 chance that he could be scoring goals for us is an occasion we just can't miss.

I am more willing for us to pay 100 or more on kylian than 45m euroa on vinicious given the way a lot of young brazilian players have faded too quickly and the way money and partying went to their head which i just don't see with mbappe .
