    So if we're to believe that 3CB with 2 wingbacks it would look something like this?
    Vini-Mbappe
    Jude
    Carreras-Tchou-Fede-Trent
    Huijsen-Rudiger-Asencio​

    If we don't put up enough goals this formation will be used as a "he plays 5 defenders! Negative football!" stick to beat the new coach with.

    Adding to that.

    We still need a midfielder who can pass the ball no matter what formation we play. Think Thouameni is abit redundant in a 352.

    I don't think this team can ever been disciplined enough to play 3 at the back.

    5 At the back doesnt necessarily mean a defensive style.

    Specially if Xabi's possession is in the 60% range.

    What does "if we don't put up enough goals" even mean?

    Someone has an idea about CWC rules? Can TAA be registered for the tournament on July 1 so that he can play in knockout stage?

    I still think we are one quality CB short if we play 3 at the back, if we hedge our bets on Militao / Alaba / Joan Martinez / Jacobo, we might be ok to play a 3-5-2 system. But as things currently stand, I think we'll play a 4-man midfield.

    Also, there's far too much "pump chat" regarding Joan Martinez for my liking. He's still recovering from an ACL, and although he's still young, has the legs and build of a gazelle.

    We need another CB if we're going to field in 5-3-2.

    I'm not even thinking about the CWC. It's on par with the US mini tournament in preseason.

    Scoring in volume. There was a talkshow round about whether Xabi can be a success in Madrid and most of the talk was that he knows that the bernabeu will start boohing if the team doesn't play with scoring as many goals in mind as possible. The club doesn't sign all those star players for us to win 2-0 and 2-1.

    Would we be saying this if we were at the end of last season in top form? Yes, it's a summer tournament and it remains to be seen how serious the clubs will take it, but at the very least we should want to win and improve our level of play.


    Fifa has allowed new players to be registered for the Club World Cup from 1-10 June, and again from 27 June-3 July for the knockout stage.

    CONFIRMED: Real Madrid have DECIDED to SIGN a midfielder!

    Xabi Alonso’s REQUEST. @jfelixdiaz

    Angelo Stiller is one of the midfielders Real Madrid are INTERESTED in.

    He would cost around €40M. @jfelixdiaz

    BREAKING: Real Madrid want to sign a midfielder to play in the CLUB WORLD CUP! @jfelixdiaz

    FiFA officially announced close to 125 M USD prize money for winning team and total 1 billion for 32 participating clubs. Think every club gonna take this tournament seriously for financial reasons itself. Even City, PSG could cook the books more with that kind of additional revenue.

    I think Rodrygo will end up at City than Arsenal if he leaves this summer.

    I’m not feeling this price for Carreras, he looks better than what we have, but I’d pay the extra money and get Kerkez instead, who looks higher quality to me.

    I feel the Fran Garcia highlights were better.
