    Lol, that was the exact one time I mentioned earlier that Kroos was upset at being subbed. Thanks for confirming. One of the reasons it was made into such a big deal is because the dude just didn’t do that kinda thing. It was jarring, especially in such a high stakes match that wasn’t going our way. There is no trend at all of Kroos doing that.

    Modric wanting to play as many matches as possible to stay in rhythm isn’t “throwing his toys out the pram” at all. Be serious.

    I repeat, this notion that Modric and especially Kroos always lose their shit or cause problems when subbed is BULLSHIT.

    Is it difficult to bench players with such reputation and leadership positions in the locker room? Sure, no shit. We’ve been through this before with Raul and others. The club/manager want to show them the proper respect and give them a chance to get back on form. This isn’t outlandish even if it can be frustrating to us who obsess over the playing time of our young mids.

    But that is not what you’ve been so desperately trying to make this out to be, no matter how much you want Kroos and Modric to retire or be the cause of all our issues. They are vets who still have something to offer but have reached that tough spot where they simply cannot be counted on to be at 100% effectiveness week in and out.
    It’s up to Carlo to pick the best team for each match. These guys have pull but both are out of contract this summer so they aren’t giving ultimatums out here.

    For the record, Modric is the greatest midfielder we’ve ever had. Kroos in his time from 2014-18 with KCM was integral to making them Voltron. It’s been a great run.

    Let’s be clear here, they ARE dictating when they will leave. It’s been pretty much reported that they have the choice (like Benz) to play as long as they want.

    As regards to my two examples, there are others that have happened and likely they make their unhappiness known behind closed doors with Flo/Carlo.

    The club has to do what is best for the club. It’s not tossing them like garbage. Since they won’t accept a back up role, they should not be renewed and let’s keep Ceballos and sign Bellingham and one more mid.

    But we know there’s no chance that’s happening. We’re going to renew them both and we will be arguing for another year about the same crap.

    "Let's sign Bellingham" like it's buying a slab of butter off the shelf. What if he doesn't join Madrid? Do we beg the guy to stay and not leave?

    You don’t choose to prioritize vs Barca. We need to win these games. No calculation needed.

    Then we keep waiting without buying anyone like “Mbappe or no one” strategy.

    Club gives leeway to two very important players on our team who have helped us achieve monumental feats and are STILL contributing albeit not at the same level = the players are dictating to the club

    All Toni is good for is long balls

    Toni and Luka are always upset when subbed = made up narrative

    "There are others that have happened and likely they make their unhappiness known behind closed doors with Flo/Carlo = random unsubstantiated narrative

    They won't accept a backup role = random viewpoint backed up by no evidence, they've already been on the bench

    Maybe the club thinks they can help with the transition of our younger players, and to win trophies, it's not like we have to totally depend on them anymore we already have a decent group of young players for the midfield area, 4 of them to be exact we just need them to gel and be more consistent at the highest level, Toni and Luka can help and have been helping with that so far, Carlo has already reduced their roles somewhat but they certainly still contribute now, unlike say Eden Mariano or Odri


    Indeed, squad or not we have to try, we are Madrid, we compete for everything, and try to win.

    Mendy out 2 months. Disastrous for us not only depth wise, but his transfer value will probably take a hit.

    Alaba staying at LB for the next 2 months?

    Watch Carlo cater to Alaba's whims and start him at CB with Militao while Cama will be our LB until further notice.

    There is no excuse for Alaba to not be playing LB

    If he continues at CB, we know it’s him who’s making noise in the dressing room.

    and if he is, he can take ass out the door somewhere else.

    lol, or, watch Carlo do exactly what he wants whatever that might be, after years of being a successful top level coach

    The club World cup is a farce. Another part of football that totally sold out and lacks any meaning.

    What a weird thing. Real Madrid as a club gets praise from Rayo, who release a statement saying the transparency and behavior sets an example for the league and the sport, but people are angry about it, meanwhile when Barca stole themselves a striker kicking down on another team, people were quick to call it classless. Which one is it you prefer?

    Laughing my ass off at anyone caring one bit about Rayo's empty words. They still think of us as the big bad super league club and won't hesitate to stand with Tebas on everything anti Madrid.

    I prefer doing whatever is in the club's best interests, which in that case is signing an actual LB and not waste one of the best CM prospects playing out of position. What we did was pure stupidity and unbelievable incompetence. Plain and simple. There's not one positive to take from this.

    Then I assume you have no problem with Barca weaseling through the rules?
