If we buy back Hakimi for more than we sold him before, it just highlights our crap transfer strategy. Admittedly, it's difficult to keep two world class players vying for one position but Carvajal is turning 30 soon and it's the perfect time to start phasing in the next player. Instead, we yet again waste money by signing Ordiozola for €30m when we have a youth team player ready to take the reigns. Casemiro needs backup, Valverde needs to start, need another new starting midfielder and all changes up front.
Fede is very good and already in the squad for the next years. But i think SMS would bring more in creativity and final third. They could play together also.
Outrunned after playing 60 matchs this year in a team with half of regular starters. The problem was not their profile.
Players that are assured to stay at Madrid next season: Courtois, Lunin, Carvajal, Mendy, Militao, Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Valverde, Rodrygo, Benzema, Nacho and Vinicius. [@marca] https://t.co/H1r9LAQYVP
so we need a lot of players may be our Castella players can be promoted to the first team, Odegaard can also supplement us, rest we need to go and get from the market our stadium plan may be a hindrance to our transfer business.
As someone else said, would we even be considering Vinicius if he was at another team? Probably not. I was the biggest Higuain fan and was pissed when he left. I also thought we should hang on to the likes of Ronaldo (R9) and Cabellos was good enough to start. You just have to be ruthless at times. Firstly, we have to admit that buying young, unproven talent is not really our thing. We done well with Casemiro and Marcelo but have fallen flat recently whilst letting the likes of Bruno Fernandes go to someone else for a reasonable fee. If he want to be competitive in Europe, we can't have any passengers.
We considered players like Aouar who have had struggles so it insults intelligence to say we wouldn't consider Vinicius. I didn't want to comment because it obvious the forum wants to pile on the kid but he shouldn't be relied upon at 20 for a club the size of Madrid. He should be a backup spark player who we allow to grow and get comfortable... not one we demand to be excellent every match. Also, I never want to hear about young player development on RMBS again lol. You guys don't have the patience for it but love crowing about lesser talents we should be investing huge minutes in.... You can't even bare the super talents we have which do!
Watching the likes of Miguel, Arribas, Blanco and even Higuain back in the day was less frustrating than watching Vinnie flubb a pass or shank a shot multiple times a game.
Real Madrid will listen to offers for Eden Hazard and Gareth Bale this summer amid their continued interest in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) May 24, 2021
🚨🌕| Real Madrid are still hoping for Kylian Mbappé this summer. There is still no agreement between PSG and Mbappé regarding contract length or money. 🇫🇷 @FabrizioRomano @QueGolazoPod #rmalive— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) May 24, 2021
My hope is Mbappe demands to go and naturally PSG make it ugly but he refuses. Then PSG in a show of force take Hazars from us to make up for losing Mbappe. Yeah I know, nonsensical dreams
🚨| Lautaro Martinez is NOT a target for Real Madrid despite the speculated rumors.@FabrizioRomano [🎖]— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) May 24, 2021
We will be playing 4-3-3 if we have Benz, Ronaldo and Mbappe. Kroos, Casemiro, Fede, Camavinga, Modric and Blanco is enough depth for 3 man midfield imo. Hopefully no crazy amount of injuries like this season. Carva/Lucas as RBs, Mendy/Miguel as LBs. Militao-Alaba starting CBs. Nacho back up. Need a veteran 4th CB.
The thought of the club being distracted with Hazard and Bale nonsense this summer really irks me... We have important work to do, we really don't need the distractions.
Don't worry Florentino will cool all speculations by announcing Bale as coming back like a new signing and Hazard being the best in the world (after Belgium Euro performance). Yep, those are my fears.
With the Euros and Copa, and after already a huge workload this year, we should beef up that midfield considerably. You need minimum one more quality player there capable of starting for long periods of time.
