Madridistas All Over Copa And Euros Collide While Colombians Dominate - The Other Teams Thread

I say the only thing keeping him alive in his profession is his hipness.

Felix is practically nonexistent to the general public at this point.

Guaranteed €55m at €1m over the next 55 years.

 

Yoro out for 3 months.

Marca claiming that PSG found out that he has issues in his metatarsus and RM had doubts too..

Sensational BS, our club's media just can't accept that a serious target signed for another club.

 

A Saviola

 

Totally different personalities

 

I couldn't believe it when Real signed him. Very strange times.

 

Yeah I don't buy that.....dude just got unlucky

 

Actually it's Tonzi from L'Equipe who reported it first.

After Leny Yoro’s recent injury potentially breaking his metatarsal and being out for months, PSG assures that they knew about Yoro’s physical fragility and that’s why they didn’t match or pay anywhere close to what Manchester United paid for Yoro. @Tanziloic 🇫🇷

PSG had carried out medical tests on the centre-back and found that he had a metatarsal injury. United also knew this but decided to take the risk for that amount of money.

No report that RM was aware of any metatarsal issue with Yoro. RM didn't have any medical with him as they never got close to Lille's asking price in order to get permission for a medical.

Report is that PSG backed out after finding the issue during medical in June after they had offered Lille 50 M.

 

If we had serious doubts about Yoro, we wouldn't have sold Marín prematurely. Indeed, just general nonsense here.

 

In July 2003, Gabi Milito was due to be transferred to Real Madrid, but the Spaniards rejected the player after medical results showed, according to them, a not-fully-recovered knee injury; Jorge Valdano, who acted as director of football, further added that the player had always been appreciated for his technical skills, but his physical state was a cause for great concern.

RM got a lot of flak for this as Gabi Milito (defender, brother of Diego Milito) stayed healthy at Zaragoza from 2003-07. Barca paid 18.5 ME but he missed a lot of games due to injuries there.

Woodgate should have never passed RM medical in 2004, but I suspect club took an optimistic view not wanting to repeat another Milito medical type saga.

Maybe Utd doesn't see Yoro issue as something serious unlike PSG. Milito was indeed healthy from 2003-08 despite failing RM medical. And Woodgate makes Vallejo look like iron man.

 

For all we know Rafa Marin demanded to leave for a starting position

 

RM didn't want to pay 50 M plus 12 variables Utd offered for Yoro. Marca didn't say RM had doubts about Yoro's health. That "nonsense" was cooked up here.

RM didn't get to medical evaluation stage with Yoro as that would require Lille's permission.

 

Read it in a tweet via Marca which I can't find now.

In any case, it seems Fabrizio Romano negates the French and Spanish reports

🚨 NEW!

I can GUARANTEE that reports of other clubs pulling out of the race for Leny Yoro because of his physical conditions are NOT true.

ALL the clubs wanted to sign Leny Yoro — PSG, Liverpool, and Real Madrid all wanted him. [@FabrizioRomano, YT]

Let's just accept that Real Madrid wanted to sign Yoro, but didn't wanna splash as much as Man Utd. For once, it worked out for Madrid and Man Utd got burnt. Bullet dodged, good luck to Man Utd with him.

 

Yoro is 18 years old and his injury history does not indicate being prone to injuries. How can this be a bullet dodged already? We could probably make that conclusion in 7-8 years..

 

We will wear our new 2024/25 @nikefootball away kit when we take on Manchester United in South Carolina this weekend 👌

Liverpool away jersey looks fire! Black/cyan is a beautiful combo.
