I don't know i don't find he writes that positively about us, when it's good it's brief and when it's negative it's indepth, unlike the drooling over Farca , maybe i'm just paranoid
That’s completely off the mark. Football punditry would be a hell of a better place if it had more Sid Lowe’s.
I think you have him confused with Graham Hunter, who is a notorious Cule fangirl. Every other article from Graham is about how much he loves to slurp Cruyff, Guardiola and Messi. Sid Lowe is fairly impartial, if not favorable, towards Real Madrid. I would know, I read quite a few ESPN articles.
Even Hunter isn’t as bad as Guillem Ballague. Now there is a Pep/Barca jock sniffer if I’ve ever seen one. Ugh.
Agree with you here. He isn't half as bad as the rest of the crew there at ESPN, but I always got that sense as well. To be fair, I hate anyone who writes positively about Barca, even if it's facts.
ℹ️ Ancelotti is pleased with Isco, the player will be at Real Madrid next season. [@polomarca] 🇪🇸— Infinite Madrid (@InfiniteMadrid) July 29, 2021
One can only hope. The 2014 team played some of the best football I’ve ever seen, just was very unlucky.
It's going to be a big relief when all 3 come off the books next summer. All of a sudden we will have numerous available roster spots
as Odegaard is get transferred so we have relied on F-isco no options, as someone rightly said Carlos would be fired before Christmas and it is better that he gets fired otherwise we would be rotten with these unworthy players
Isco is recoverable, especially with Carlo, maybe Bale even. Marcelo is a baffling one though, clearly doesn't have the legs for it anymore.
None are recoverable and are worth investing more time and money in chasing this gold at the end of the nonsense rainbow. Anyways, I found it hilarious I clicked on tweet in another thread asking to rate some other club's shirt and ended up seeing a tweet from Arsenal fans asking to rate their summer if they signed Odegaard including others. To no surprise some said they didn't even want Odegaard and others gave mid to low ratings. This is the player people melted down over a couple days ago because reports came out he was seeking another exit. Meh.
I mean if it was up to me I would get rid of them all, but Isco is at least still younger and hasnt been seriously injured, just seems to have completely lost motivation. Bale too, even if he is no longer the same physically. Marcelo is a complete lost cause, he is still highly motivated and seems to be in good shape, there is just no upwards for him now, nothing he can do better to be useful to the team. Same for Mariano and Odriozola tbh, although those two its a quality question. I really thought with the way we handled Ramos we were going to seriously lose all the deadweight this summer, Marcelo Isco Mariano Odriozola Bale who we dont even need to buy replacements for, and possibly Jovic Odegaard and Asensio if we were to sign.
I'll believe Isco and Marcelo are leaving when i see an official announcement from the club, until then i won't hold my breath
Funny thing is Bale and Isco seem to have the legs to perform but lack the heart and dedication For Marcelo, he still gives his all, just doesn’t have the legs
They are all out of contract. Zero movement has been made to keep them, I think the club has Euro signs in their eyes when they see all those contracts running out next summer.
Marcelo, Bale, Isco are all running their contracts down. Odriozola is I think on so low wages, might as well keep him as an active member of the roster. Mariano unfortunately has a contract to 2023. I still think we'll move on from Odegaard if a decent offer comes in. People just don't see the vision. The plan is probably to have 1 or 2 players from this team (the entire lineup) line up in 2023.
🚨| Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti are counting on Ødegaard. But the player has some doubts over his playing time and what happened last season. @JLSanchez78 [🎖]— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) July 29, 2021
He was hired from the get go as a scapegoat. This way Perez have an excuse for a summer without spending any money on players.
