"Yes, the Standard Buy-Back Clause is Included" - Real Madrid Loan Watch Thread

Don't know about that. Maybe with the right attitude from the players (to stick it out with the team) and the backing from the coaching and administrative staff of the club at the proper time, all of Mata, Granero, and Torres could have been successful squad players for us, if not starters, during that period. Basically, lack of talent from the youth teams was not so great an issue at that point, as the lack of a vision to transition it into the first team.

Also, what happened with De La Red was very unfortunate. He had started that 08-09 season so well for us and could have been a lynchpin in the CM position for quite a few years.

 

Exactly. We have consistently given youth a chance. Always. The myth that Madrid is a bad place for young players is just ignorance.

Durin unsuccessful years, there is more pressure to play established players. It is the same with any club in the world, so to tarnish Madrid with a brush differently from anyone else is again, ignorant.

We have always had youth players in the squad, some stay, some go on to better things. Look at Callejon for example. He is doing great things with Napoli (although stupidly ignored for the national team). We could have quite easily have kept him, but on the other hand we have Lucas now, doing just as well. Even Denis was given a chance recently.

Torres was here before Arbeloa, before Carvajal. Portillo, Soldado. Jese and Mayoral before Morata and Mariano.

De la Red is another interesting case. With him, we never had needed Alonso. It will always be a shame that he never had the chance here, and I hope one day he makes it as coach.

 

Vallejo started for Frankfurt.

 

This is an interesting thought, I'd like to hear why you think this, I haven't seen enough of the two players to make a comparison myself

 

Borja Mayoral has 2 professional goals at the age of 20 . I don't think he'll be making it to our starting lineup. Ever. Some of you really do think that every prospect turns out to be a superstar..

 

Oh shit, I thought he was still 18.

 

Seriously.

 

Mariano is going to be 24 this year, he isn't some hot youngster, he should be in his prime. He will never be more than a bench player here. Mayoral is already 20 and has played scrap minutes at Wolfsburg, a team that is playing relegation playoffs in the Bundesliga. Both of them are never going to make it here.

 

Mayoral has the quality to be a good player imo. At least Negredo level with better technique and dribbling. Wolfsburg was just a wrong move for him. He's a skillful forward and not just a poacher. As impressive as Morta was in Castilla. Morata wasn't scoring many when he got bit part minutes in his earlier spell here either. Mariano I don't think is RM quality.

 

Every player that comes out of our Castilla with any kind of name apparently is a probable world beater.... they just need the time/place/etc.



Make. It. Stop.

Wow excellent defending, his passing is a little slow though but with training that will change, excited to see him back next year

ya gotta credit dembele on this one, but vallejo is still young and mistakes happen, better them happening in the bundesliga than with us, Ramos used to make a lot of these especially against barcelona and look how he turned out

I think an additional season on loan would be good for Vallejo's development. If we do loan him out for another year, we should do everything in our power to keep Pepe.

 

The problem with Pepe is that he wants two years contract and not 1+1 option. Its clear that club's strategy was/is to keep Vallejo on loan for another season and keep Pepe for a season

I'm aware of that. If we don't manage to keep Pepe, I think I'd prefer keeping Vallejo at Madrid as our fourth CB (even though another year on loan would be ideal for him).

Signing another CB to replace Pepe would only hinder Vallejo's progression. I like Diego Llorente, but I don't think he's ready. He needs another season on loan. I wouldn't be too confident with Ramos, Varane, Nacho and Llorente as our four CB's for next season. Would be a step down from this season.

 

Diego Llorente is 4 years older than Jesus Vallejo. If he isn't ready now, he never will be.
