Summer 2019 - The Zizou Revolution Transfer Thread

It's moments like these that you realize what we lost in Ronaldo.

Nobody on this team is anywhere close to how clinical the top men in the European elite teams are.

Benzema was good last year, but he wasn't someone who's gonna get triple teamed or will our team to a victory.

Hazard is a different kind of player. He can create more than he can score, but it's like people forgot how to put balls in the back of the net.

If this is how Asensio, Lucas V. and Isco are gonna play, Idk how long Zidane can afford to bench Bale if he doesn't leave this summer. In fact, selling him with all these other players being deadweight can arguably be a worse decision.

Our midfield hasn't gotten any better. Our offense has some pieces but still needs improvement.

Let's see how the rest of the games turn out but this was not pretty.

 

If we can't throw 200 ME (which is frankly ludicrous) at Man Utd for Pogba, it's high time we move to other midfield targets and stop wasting time.

 

After Zidane’s comments about Bale today Can someone explain to me why did Bale travel with the team to the preseason tour?

 

He had to get into shape either way, for all we know his new team might be at the ICC as well. Or maybe the negotiations have seen sudden progress.

 

How could being wrong about Zidanes return have made you this unbearable. I've blocked the other 2 or 3 depressive posters, never thought I would think about you in the same way.

 

I really hope the deal is already signed - as that's the only time such a statement is appropriate.

Zidane and the club is receiving quite the backlash on social media for this statement. Bale behaving like a dolt after the CL win is not an excuse for the club to stoop to his standards with such statements unless the deal is signed.

 

ZZ said that he'll be gone in the next 24-48 hours, so it's most probably done already.

 

Finally ZZ makes clear what I was thinking about Gareth anyway, as much as some here think he’s the best option before Asensio and Lucas on the right wing, what really matters is what ZZ thinks and he does not think that, which is why apparently he made it clear to Gareth that he should move on

i continue to think our attack is the biggest problem, even in a rubbish season last season we created numerous chances that were missed, just like we missed chances today, people love Benz ( including ZZ) and he scored 30 goals last season but for me he remains a huge question mark,

even if we bring in 3 goal scoring midfielders ( which we won’t) I would still be skeptical about our chances of winning trophies with Benz as the 9 and I realize I might be in the minority,

still far too much standing about in the final third from the attackers waiting for some moment of magic, in complete contrast to Bayern who seemed to have endless creative ideas in front of goal with players moving and running off the ball causing all manner of confusion for our defenders

 

Glad Zidane made the decision and stuck with it. Bale's time is done here and he signed his sentence a long time ago with his behaviour in the media and behind the coach's back (post-CL, his agent etc.). The club probably knows it has to take a huge loss on the player (similar to Kaka), so these statements are more than fine with me. Many thanks and good luck, Bale.

 

How do you know he will be the first to leave?, also IMO it is right that the “coach” is allowed to make the decisions about who he wants to go into battle with as his team, he wins or loses with the players he wants, I have no problem with that

 

ZIDANE: “No tengo un problema personal con Bale. Se irá en 24-48 horas. Hablo con el club y la decisión (de su salida) la toma el entrenador, que soy yo. Pero también el jugador, que conoce su situación”

So making the decision to cut Bale is "worrying" now? Sinking ship? Come on, you're better than that.

 

Maybe there's already an agreement between us and another club for Bale's transfer, and the only hold up is the player himself. Which might explain why Zidane has taken this step to show Bale it's in his best interest to just accept his fate.

 

But that’s just your subjective opinion, you have decided he just left because we were “sinking” but maybe he left because he saw we were sinking and wanted to do something about it and couldn’t get that done, due to any number of factors

anyone can look at the situation anyway they feel like and come to any conclusion that suits their narrative but really, no one knows for sure , as this is the team I support I will look at the positive, I hope he gets the team he wants and he is successful even though I disagree with “some” of the things he’s doing

 

Maybe, but IMO so is keeping and starting Gareth who has never really been consistently good for us either, when not completely useless to the team because he’s out injured, maybe half a season and some good moments
