🗣️ Ahmed Kaaki (Al-Ittihad VP): “Is Karim Benzema joining Al-Ittihad? InShaAllah.” pic.twitter.com/EF2qtrcoIw— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) May 27, 2023
Because it was RMBS shoving him on RW for most of the past 2 seasons, claimed that his best position was a "10" three months ago, used him as a false 9 that was crowded out by Karim and insisted on playing Benzema as a the sole CF for 96 mins in consecutive games until he got discomforts or his foot split open..
I for one believe they will Pretty sure Benz wanted to play and he’s scored 30 goals in all comps this season more than any other player on our team and goals other teams would kill to have a player who could score them, for all the talk about Rodrygo after the game, before it some fans were screaming and complaining about Alvaro not starting and laughing ( complaining) at the idea of Carlo playing Rodry as a 9 in this very game, cannot please all the fans all the time Was Benz at his best this season, absolutely not, but he certainly isn’t some scrub either, so yeah, realistically, he’s our 9 before anyone else in our team until he isn’t , can’t win every comp all the time, no team has ever achieved that or ever will, let’s see what changes we have for next season.
Where and when did he say that? Modric and kroos are starting every game next season. Jude should practice RB if he wants to start once dani is injured.
I dunno.man, aboit a week ago. Sorry. Anyways, ill bet you your wrong and next season all of jude, touchameni, camavinga and valverde play more minutes than modric and kroos.
IMHO no they won’t, this isn’t some video game, none of this will occur, Carlo didn’t get to where he is by being stupid although many fan coaches seem to think he is when he doesn’t do what they want, but there’s a reason he’s in demand making millions winning every major league there is not to mention CL titles, and, well, the fans are, fans, who are of course all entitled to their opinions
It's not just the season. This is Ancelloti's biggest weakness. But yea sure, let's believe he is the one that will transition this team. Laughable really.
At the end of the day, while modric and kroos have the upper hand in the dressing room, in Flos chambers I doubt its the same... if jude where to be played RB at any consistent level, touchemi on the bench and camavinga stuck at LB, I thjnk they would make enough noise for flo to step in. I mean is kroos and modric are that bad that they cant win against la liga teams.... something will change. Flo isnt going to gamble a 220mil on his new reformed completed young mid for kroos and modric if they cant run. Camavinga has allready been low key vocal about it. Touchemi will be too if it continues to far into next season, and bellingham im sure wouldnt last very long wanting a balon de or sometime down the future while playing RB. You cant compare a lot of what carlo has done in tbe past to this upcoming season. Its a very different one to most carlo has coached. The level of transitioning this team needs is so massive, even half assing it will go a long way, as it has been with camavinga this season. But dont expect the CL next season. I mean, its where the team is at, not CL contenders until we fully transition.
Has anyone watched yesterday bayern game.What a player that guy Musiala is.He should be on our radar.Too bad it will be probably hard to buy him from Bayern
You don't hand out extensions and then bench the player. A more unfortunate outcome will be that the team plays like shit first couple of months next season, Carlo gets fired and the new coach will force the change of guard.
🚨💣 Nacho is seriously considering leaving Real Madrid. He wants to play more and have a new experience of life abroad. Dani Ceballos will surely not continue. @diarioas pic.twitter.com/2w9C0bcPaa— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) May 28, 2023
The arrival of Harry Kane at Real Madrid will potentially block the signing of Erling Haaland in the summer of 2024. This is what the club does not want.— @diarioas pic.twitter.com/3kHh5jGg4F— Madrid Universal (@MadridUniversal) May 28, 2023 If true, this is some mighty delusional thinking from the club. What makes them think that Haaland leaving City after just 24 months is a remote possiblity? Didn't Endrick ask for Haaland not to be signed before he picked RM?
🚨🎖️| BREAKING: Real Madrid are considering signing Firmino. @FabrizioRomano pic.twitter.com/9wseSUa1Eu— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) May 28, 2023
Excl: Roberto Firmino, one of the names considered by Real Madrid — there are no negotiations as of now, just internal discussions about Bobby. 🚨⚪️🇧🇷 #RealMadridHe’s one of 4/5 options as new striker; different kind of players in the list.Firmino, free agent from #LFC. pic.twitter.com/Nt0b5wbuAP— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) May 28, 2023 1662777188674879488 is not a valid tweet id
Always thought Firmino as Benzema-lite. Advantage of that is link up play and disadvantage of a lite version of Benz is goal scoring. Firmino has only scored more than 15 league goals once in his career and that was 16 with Hoffenheim. He's the best available option on the market as back up probably. But we need a starting caliber scorer given Benzema's age and injuries. Expecting Haaland to leave City so early is foolish so hope we don't pass on Kane with such thought process. Kane makes perfect sense because Endrick is 3-4 years away from being starting level at RM. We went all in on Endrick anyways which probably tells RM doesn't see Haaland as a possibility even in 2025.
If we're to believe the Benz leaving rumors then we'll have our work cut out to fill the gaps in our forward line. Kane + Firmino replacing Benz + Asensio looks interesting on paper but feels like a downgrade and leaves our wings thin with no real attacking options behind Rodrygo and Vini.
🚨🏴 Real Madrid and Dortmund are finalising the agreement for Jude Bellingham. He is said to have already recorded his farewell interview to the Dortmund fans. @SPORTBILD pic.twitter.com/xIzU3Ng8zk— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) May 28, 2023 🚨🗣️ @David_Ornstein: “With Harry Kane, I always think what about Real Madrid? That has been mentioned in recent days. However, they are set to keep their eyes on Kylian Mbappe. If not this summer, then the next.” pic.twitter.com/NcPkefUjho— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) May 28, 2023
We will get a striker for sure. Only question is whether it's Joselu tier, Firmino tier or Kane tier.
Lol the sooner we give the Mbappe/Haaland delusions a rest the better. Just move on, neither are coming in 2024.
Firmino, Garcia, Bellingham, and a RW would be a great summer. I’d also go for a RB but I think Carvajal plays his final season next season.
