How Do You Replace a Legend? - The Transfers, Rumors & Lies Thread

New shoe line

 

I hope we are taking a look at Echeverri from River Plate. Still very young, but looks very promising and scored an impressive hattrick against Brazil in the U17 world cup. Not sure if we will ever sign a non Brazilian prospect, but hopefully we are keeping an eye.

 

Golovin for Monaco has been extremely good since the start of last season... very impressive. Worth a look imo.

 

Real Madrid are impressed with Joselu and have him in their plans for next season. The club, Espanyol and the player's entourage believe Real Madrid will sign him permanently.

It's from Jose Alvarez (El Chiringuito clown) but lest we forget these folk are endorsed and enabled by El Jefe..

This is the summary of what he says..

🚨 Kylian Mbappé solo quiere jugar en el Real Madrid la próxima temporada. Así se lo asegura a su entorno, y en tres semanas pasará algo MUY IMPORTANTE.

No va a hablar del tema para evitar lo que ocurrió el año pasado. Si no habla es porque cree que va a estar fuera la próxima… pic.twitter.com/MAtFE5VeAu

Perez: “You guys wanted a turtle, I got y'all a turtle..”

 

I don’t think I would look back fondly on my own fashion choices when I was 16

 

He will probably be wearing those at his 30s too as his idol Neymar does.

 

Highly doubt the club would go anywhere near Icardi. I've always rated the player in isolation (on field) but, there's been too much off field drama in his career.

 

Would take him on loan in a heartbeat.. proven across Europe bona-fide no 9. But why would Gala let him go?

 

Especially playing in a position where decent players are a rarity.

 

Icardi has been irrelevant in Europe for the last 4 years, he’s not even 30 yet but his last year at Inter and his time at PSG was crap compared to his record during the 4 years prior to that.

Across 2014 to 2018 his numbers were very strong, he averaged 23 goals per league campaign during that period. His numbers in Turkey in the last season and a half are very good … but it’s Turkish league football ffs.

 

No Icardi please...rarther give chance to ademy players ..than next summer we shouldnt just count on Ednrick as the only reinforcement...bring in Mbappe or Haaland and Davies...good young RB who can compete with Carvajal could be useful...i think if Guler proves he is a addition like i think it would be good to reinstall him as a midfielder especially if we expect that both Kroos and Modric will leave..i think his creativity will be useful as a AMC also...right wing will occupy Rodrygo

Carlo would rather field Alaba in a forward position than trust a Castilla.

So, if Castilla players don't get a chance, what say you? Btw I'm not convinced by Icardi and if he's what our recruitment team came up with then wow..

imho, Icardi is just a decoy to paint the picture that the club is "trying". Just like Kane and Mbappe were last summer when the club had absolutely no intention of bringing in any forward. Soon it'll be "Güler, el neuvo fichaje", you know the drill..

 

We already ruled out trash Icardi. It was his agent trying to make a desperate move. Maybe Biglia was his client lol. He's washed up with bad attitude. Turkish league is his apt level now. Cancelo was again a defensive liability yesterday. And half the RM fanbase online were crying last summer we didn't sign him.

More evident why Pep, Nagel and Tuchel didn't play him. So lazy on the defensive end in recent years and bad attitude in dressing room if he doesn't get to start. Adding mediocre players that takes minutes is counter-productive on the pitch. Icardi is the same. At least Joselu works hard and has right attitude.

 

The insistence on here wanting to sign absolute bums is incredible. Whilst moaning when players like Rodrygo don’t produce to expectation. Can’t imagine what they’d say watching fools like Martial or Icardi in our team.

 

If I recall correctly you didn't want Icardi when he was in his prime at Inter, saying these types of forwards are one dimensional etc. (the fox in the box discussion)

And now when we established Madrid is not the place to give players a second chance you endorse this move? You're such an instigator.

 

Pretty much (sigh)
