The living breathing Garra Charrua terrorizing Madrid opponents - The Fede El Grande Valverde Thread

We need him to avoid injury over this break badly.

First, if Zidane is smart he will rest Casemiro against Mallorca so he won't be in danger of missing El Clasico.

Secondly, we will need Valverde's energy badly for Galatasaray and barca. It would be a gamble to start him three games in a row.

Hopefully Zidane gambles against Mallorca and plays Militao holding with Modric and James in midfield. Support them with Isco, Jovic and Vinicius.

Then against Galatasaray and barca we bring out the big guns and go Case, James/Modric and Valverde.

 

He does, he can bring the ball out of the back with his acceleration. You can use a player like that to break through lines of opponents pressuring you high up. Thing is, you face teams that will press that high up maybe 4-5 times a season, and he is nothing special with his distribution or defending so we can do without him for rest of the games. There is a reason why he only stood out for us when playing against Barcelona and in the big CL games.

 

Not too far off actually.
Casemiro is an aerial threat on crosses into the area and corners and has a good shot. He’s scored plenty of goals using these two skills..

 

Plus Casemiro has developed that diagonal over the top pass. Ahead of Kova in almost every aspect (and people claim he's limited).

Kova himself didn't think he could get out of Modric's shadow, which is why he left.

Anyway Valverde is at a similar age/level as Kova was when he arrived, let's see where he ends up.

 

By the way, having Fede in the team makes a potential VDBeek transfer (as that's still something being discussed in the media at times) completely unnecessary. That's a huge positive in my book. Fede is a better all-round player that compliments Casemiro and Kroos/Modric/James very well. The reason why the club was apparently interested in VDBeek was his engine and energy, Fede as abundance of that (and more). Look at different targets, Perez. Thank you!

 

No he didn't, in fact that's one of the things that he was most criticized for during his loan with Chelsea. This is just another one of your "the grass is greener" rambling posts.

 

Dude I'm a Croat and Kova is on my profile pic(simply because he's next to Modric and a fellow NT) and yet I can say that you're spewing BS.

We all loved Kova, he decided to go to Chelsea on a loan. Wouldn't be a problem if he didn't force it. We needed him as a first mid sub last year. Then he left and deleted RM pics like a little cuck.

He's 25 and like Pogba he seems like he'll never fulfill his potential. He could have developed under Modric and Zidane but now he's off to fight against freaking Barkley for a starting position.

Morata, Llorente, Kova etc. Grass isn't always greener.

 

Kovačič typical player who

Agree 100%. Kovačič one of those good player, huge potential, but always will lack some things to really show that potential on the field. For real to show.

 

Fede's agent Gerardo Rabajda: "Pogba is a great player. In the future Valverde and him could play together, but you have to be cautious. The future is promising but Fede has to keep his feet on the ground. He knows he's had this chance but he has to stay and keep growing."

Fede's agent Gerardo Rabajda: "Fede has a lot of personality & sometimes his polite and respectful manner can be confused for him seeming off. He's proven on the pitch to have status. He knows when to speak & when to stay quiet. We're talking about a future Ballon d'Or winner."

It's ridiculously hilarious that Pogba's brother is giving all these 'insights'. Great stuff!

 

The kid is under real pressure now.

Two good games and he's being compared to Pogba. A player who was killing it in Juventus, while Fede was a prodigy in Penarol.

Give him time to prove himself. Hopefully, he turns as good as Casemiro and not another Gago.

 

Being compared to Pogba right now isn’t scaring anyone.

 

While watching him at Castilla he, indeed, seemed like Pogba-type player. Fast and technically gifted, glazing through middle with ease. When he come to the first team, I was bit surprised that he's BTB/destroyer more than creator, I always though he was on the technical side.
But, I explained to myself that it's easy to be technical in 2nd division B where every opponent reacts few seconds slower, so I concluded he's probably probably bang average technically on this level and he'll just do destroying job. It would be wonderful if he's really top tier on that side, too. I can't decide at the moment.

 

Fantastic I'm sure Manchester will enjoy it.

These dudes were all ghost before the English transfer deadline. Let me remind you...

 

LOL Pogba is also 6 yrs older than Fede. Quite pathetic from Chringuito to have this guy as a commentator.

 

Valverde>Pogba
