So he couldn’t even be a starter in a damn Copa game?

 

Look at the source. Why even take anything they say seriously?

All sensationalism to get this exact kind of response.

 

Isnt JLSanchez reliable when it comes to Madrid stuff though?

Which young talent would want to come now to Madrid with ZZ in charge? Camavinga might think twice now before coming here.

 

Is Valverde next?

 

Sending away one of the more creative midfielders in the team at a time when not only are we often short of ideas for large stretches of the match but we're short numbers in midfield on the whole is absolutely baffling. Zidane betting the farm on Modric, Kroos, Casemiro, Valverde and Isco could be a defining moment of his second stint. I fundamentally disagree with him but it's clear he's willing to live and die by his decisions. For our sake, I hope he's right.

 

A French national.

 

I’m not willing to give up on Odegaard, feels like letting him go would be akin to Chelsea letting Kevin De Bruyne go all those years ago, If Zidane can’t integrate talents like him then he has to go.

 

The question will really be "what happens in 6 months"? If Zidane is still in charge next season, then what's the guarantee that Martin has a better shot then especially since he would have wasted half of this season. The only midfielder likely to leave is Isco and if we were to bring in someone like Camavinga, then strictly from a numbers angle it's the same amount of players.

The best we can hope for is that Martin goes back on loan next season and he basically waits Zidane out.

Exactly.
People who say "Real Madrid is not a daycare" should just take a look at Bayern Munich.
They signed Goretzka when he was 23, Kimmich when he was 20, Gnabry when he was 22, Alaba when he was 17 and so on and on, and all of them now are either crucial 1st team players or rotation players.
I see no reason why our club shouldn't be able to replicate this kind of model successfully, especially considering that signing ready-made superstars in 2021 is much more expensive than it was in the late 2000s or early 2010s.

 

Bad move in my opinion. He should have stayed at Real Sociedad, 2 consistent years to prove whether he's the real deal or not. He has a few months at Arsenal and what is he really going to do in that time? Yet another new country, league, club, manager and team mates to adapt to.

Just hope we haven't ruined this guys career.

 

I was going to say he doesn't even look happy but he actually looks sad.

Visit Rwanda is also what Zizou advised him to do when he asked for more playing time.

 

Is this likely to affect Haaland's chances of joining Madrid one day?
