Rebuilding Madrid, One Pass at a Time - The Transfers, Rumors & Lies Thread

I honestly don't see him playing significant minutes when he comes back.

 

True. Unless Paz has a fantastic World Cup and Vini ends up leaving due to club not offering the renewal he wants.

 

IIRC JAS wanted Klopp back in ~2015, he reportedly had discussions with him. Perez told him to fvck off and signed Benitez instead.

 

I don't see how him Jude and Arda play in Madrid colors. But hey, we were due a hard decision making incidentally for a while.

 

We have several AM's in the squad already, add Matsatonto to the list. (should go out on loan)


I hope the club goes for Stiller, move Fede to the wing as he is devastating from there, put Stiller in the middle of the park with Jude and Tchouameni and lets see what happens.

If Dani leaves we are going to need a midfielder

 

It's impossible to fit Jude/Arda/Paz together... need pick two. No need to make same mistakes all other again

 

I don't see how the club doesn't bring Paz this summer, unless we want to sell him. His progression has been great and it's now a do it or let it go situation....given all the offers the player is likely to have.

 

i have feeling after Klopp's rejection we are very short of options.

 

But probably could do a similar compilation for a lot of our players. These videos are across multiple seasons. Maybe also include the clip where he comes in late against Manchester City a few years ago, completely turns the game around and we eventually win yet another European trophy.

If you take the low-lights of Mbappe and Vinicius for just season season, and some context to how it contributed to us not winning that game, I am certain they will be relatively worse than anything you can compile for Camavinga.

 

Rodri was spraying passes like Kroos regen today. Guy is still world class. Have to consider him.
Also, how did we not listen to zidane and bring in Cherki. What a baller.

 

yes...but as DM....it's absolutely criminal to have so many blunders...that directly cost your team goals.

An attacker has a lot more latitude to mess up.

DM....you CANNOT be an error prone player....especially not at Real Madrid.

Might be unfair...but it is what it is.

 

I think we should seriously consider going for him if he has a good world cup.

 

Along with the other box to box midfielders we have?

 

Then he isnt a box 2 box?

 

Playmaker who can control tempo should be top priority. We ignored that for two seasons after Kroos retired. Ceballos finding purple patch around City games last season and having to depend on Pitarch to play like an experienced CM in business end of this season wasn't gonna be sustainable solutions.

Rodri looks healthy and has regained form. But that could also mean better chance of him renewing with CIty especially now that they are looking good to win another PL.

 

It's a shame Camavinga hasn't panned out to be what we thought he could be. There were times when we called him a cheat code for how versatile and solid he was, and there were many instances when he was so energetic in midfield. It really could be that he has mentally checked out, as I don't recall a player lose his form this much.

 

I think ignoring Rodri would be a massive mistake. Sure his season so far hasn't been great after coming back from the injury, but he looked great yesterday and I feel like we should really push hard for him if he has a good world cup.

If not him, I wouldn't hate if we went for Enzo. Both players signalled positively for us recently, so at least that side of the equation should be straightforward.

 

I'd bet money that Rodri is Florentino's first choice.

Now whether a deal is possible is another question.

Rodri + a younger CM would be a no brainer imo.

 

No I'm genuinely curious.

You just said he was a true box to box. Then 5 seconds later: a box 2 box isnt just running about from b2b.

But isnt that the main playstyle, hence the descriptor box to box midfielder, and everything else becomes secondary? What is Rios then?

On a more serious note, there is no room for him and doesnt offer that much of a difference in what the team already has.

 

Vini
