What should be top priority for the club this summer?

  1. Sign Camavinga

    33.3%
  2. Sell Bale/James (and other deadweight)

    40.9%
  3. Address backup RB

    1.5%
  4. Save the funds for next summer, go after Mbappe

    24.2%

    James has no place in our team, and everyone is ready to offload him, he isn't in ZZ's reckoning now, but, watching us play, and how much we stall in the final third when we are attacking and trying to create, where the only plan seems to be get the ball out wide and cross,

    James if he was ever given continuity would prove a godsend in creation in this area close to goal, when he was given the chance and the coach believed in him he used to create chance after chance up the middle, it's sad how low he has fallen when the team is crying out for a creator ( and goal scorer) just like him, oh well, we move forward

    We already know that isn't true. The man has been asking for specific midfielders since his arrival. That has changed.

    Oh, is there a quote of him asking for players? I've honestly never seen one.

    If anyone is stupid enough (not ignorant, legitimately braindead) to believe this trash you posted they should switch their forum activity to "read-only".

    The next crap you'll toss out is he never retired on us because he wasn't getting support from Florentino and then he didn't come back because Florentino gave him assurances.

    The man wants to win. You want to as well, but I guess you care more about forum arguments than our clubs future results.

    Jovic do not end up like Antonia Cassano, i sincerely hope that next season he pulls his acts and start delivering,

    irrespective of jovic form we need a good striker for two reasons that Benzema is not getting any younger and with 5 subs allowed we may need to two strikers on the field for certain games

    Real Madrid don't need to replace their best player in Benzema.

    He's the least of the club's problems.

    If anything, Real Madrid need an inside forward who can provide goals.

    Vinicius is the 2nd highest goalscorer among attackers with 5 goals.

    Which says a lot given his underwhelming end product.

    However, Pérez said recently they won't make a big signing this year.

    Until Mbappe comes, Benzema will continue to carry this offense w/o help.

    There was a time when Benzema himself was of no help to others. He was young and learned, now they are young and he's experienced. You don't bring through young players in a week.

    At least, Real Madrid had the likes of Cristiano & even Higuain who was straight up better than Benzema during 09/10 season. Real Madrid didn't even need to look for reinforcements elsewhere. The current situation is nowhere near comparable unlike how it was a decade ago.

    my point is not replacing Benzema but his succession, as his age catches up his availability would also be less

    I can understand the club not making any big signings this season considering the current situation. Until things get back to normal better to be cautious. And knowing how close Flo and Zizou are I am sure they would have discussed this matter.

    However signing a backup DM is a must. A veteran may be for a season or two..Or look for a loan option.

    So pretty much we should disregard everything you post because it's all quoteless bullshit anyways.

    I know you're not dumb enough to believe what you posted and are doing your troll routine. If you are, well.. I'll pray for you.

    If your next theory after "the Balon d'Or was cancelled because of Benzema" is "Zidane threw the CL match to get Camavinga" we're stopping this right here.

    Not sure why the club has not asked the team to take a large pay cut like what Barcelona has done around 50%, not 70%

    that may provide some room for new signings with the capital expenditure looming around due to the new stadium

    It wasn't specific for Camavinga.

    For me it was to show our President this team won't make it as it is next season. Considering our President the great man he is has a tendency to use success to lay into complacency, it wouldn't surprise me of Zidane sees the writing on the wall and is trying to make a point.

    Anyways continue playing dumb or just being dumb. The fact anyone questions this could be possible means they have the memory of a goldfish because Mourinho, Conte and others have "sent messages" like this to the ownership.

    Did Zidane also throw the Betis match to lose the title to get more players? Please, expand on this further.

    Because in the case of new signings wages go back up and the ERTE is disallowed.

    Are you really equating every loss to the one that just happened? You can't see the difference?

    If you don't know the difference then this troll shit isn't an act. This is just you.

    Dude, you're the one here accusing Zidane of result manipulation. I'm just here trying to find out if you think he might have done something like this before.

    Realistically looking at our roster and the time till next season starts:
    1. It's fair to say Zidane is getting two new signings in Jovic and Hazard. The former he has to use more, and the latter we got to hope he's healthy and in good shape. You hope for a full season from Asensio (can contribute up to 10 goals), a step up from Rodrygo, and Vinicius to take it to the next level.
    2. The defense is in good shape. Odriozola will come back to cover behind Dani, CB is pretty set, and LB it looks like Marcelo is staying for another year.
    3. The midfield is where it's worrying. Aside from Kroos, Valverde, and Casemiro, the rest is a bunch of wild cards. James needs to go, Isco hasn't been anything to depend on for a couple of seasons, and Modric is good in short spurts. Odegaard would be the obvious choice to bring back,and Camavinga would be the dream signing. In the absence of Odegaard, I would give a serious consideration to Reiner. The kid probably has the most talent out of the Brazilians, and it would be good for him to play his first year with the big club before going out on loan. Problem is the non-EU spots (dumb rule), so that will only happen if Rodrygo goes out on loan or Vinicius gets his Spanish citizenship.

    He's a talent that we can't let get away. His awareness, positioning and general IQ on the pitch is way beyond his age, and he's destined for stardom.
