Summer 2019 - The Zizou Revolution Transfer Thread

Time will tell, I will give him the benefit of a season not just one preseason game, I too am disappointed in some of the decisions he’s made so far but I cannot really write off the team before the season has even started and surely not from one preseason game, I am not enjoying, Marcelo, Marco, Isco or Lucas but, not sure I would have enjoyed Gareth either , I am not panicking yet, and the whole team cannot realistically be refreshed in one go,

 

You haven't reached sceptical once since his return. You're just negative, everything sucks, you say that the alternatives for midfield suck and then turn around and act sarcastic when we start with the same midfield. I've always liked and respected your opinion but since Zidanes return you've changed for the worse.

 

You've become too negative, and you've lost your sense of humor.

I think you should take a break.

 

While I agree totally, I don't see how this relates to what Zidane said possibly affecting our leverage in negotiations with Bale's transfer.

 

Where did you get the quote that he leaves within 24-48 hours? All I can read and hear from the vid on AS, is that he says IF he leaves tomorrow; the better.

We just made any potential buying club, and Bale's (if he wants us to pay a part of his current salary) position around the negotiating table much better with this decision and the press conference after. Because we're clearly (now also out in the open) trying to force him out.

 

You're forgetting Isco.

 

I keep telling it . We need a world class right winger. Offload Isco and Vazquez.

That line up yesterday wth.

 

From this tweet, you think they made that up?

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”

After watching this game, our very first pre season game this year, I think we might get relegated next season, I mean, it’s like very worrying and stuff.

 

The live vid can be found here.

Despite below the article the "quote" says "No sé si en 24 o 48 horas" which is apparantly a very loose quotation, because he doesn't actually say that in the vid itself.

If there's another vid where he says that, ok. But from what I can see here he didn't, he only said if/hopefully he leaves.

 

Isco wasn't bad last night and i think that he would be a valuable sub, like he has always been.

 

"Wasn't bad"

There you have it.

 

You didn't even watch the game, but we started like we finished last season lol. First half was actually good with a lot of positives.

 

It seems it's the other way around, if you had more than 1 cell you would realize it's just one game, let's watch the rest of the preseason before you start shitting on Zidane. But it was expected of course, you have been waiting this whole summer for us to lose, now you are here basically celebrating, you fell off.

 

If that's the case, then I'm fully behind Zidane. We were in terrible shape when Benitez was here, Zidane stepped in and won 3 CL's in a row (including a double). What happened after the 3rd win is everyone's guess, so I won't judge anyone on that (the club nor Zidane). We - once again - were in a terrible spot and got knocked out by freakin Ajax in our own stadium and at risk of even missing CL football this season (our momentum was terrible, the other teams were close enough..). No manager wanted to step into a snake pit, but Zidane (after the club asked him) came back. He was willing to return, but also had some specific requests. The club agreed and was comfortable in satisfying these requests. In that respect, it's perfectly normal that he wants to have his desired option(s) and it would be incredibly strange that Zidane and club are not aligned (as you suggest in your post).

Anyway, you are in auto-pilot 'sceptical-mode' (more negative-mode) re Zidane, so it doesn't even make sense to try having a discussion about it. But hey...here we are.

 

This also depends, no? Which results? Because it seems that some are judging after one pre-season game.

Also: I don't know what Zidane's requests were, but I'm sure it wasn't as simple as 'signing Pogba and Hazard and selling Bale'.

 

This is just preseason. Imagine how he will be when we lose one of our first games, probably waiting for it.
