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

There were times in his career when Nacho could have left and started for a genuinely high calibre European side, but he didn’t, and never complained. Gave us so so many great and important performances. We were lucky to have him.

 

I wish we could sign Pepe in every decade in my lifetime as a Real Madrid fan! 10/10 defender.

That debut season performance at the Camp Nou will never be forgotten.

 

When Ramos was moved back to the CB positioin, I was shitting myself. "He is fine as a rightback," I told myself.

 

Same here lol

 

I am impressed with your memory.

Edited: i really liked the way he attacked down the wing.

 

Shay I was one of those who thought moving Ramos to CB was a bad idea

I have learned my lesson.

Vini a la derecha!

 

I don't have an eye for defender.

 

I don't think it's stink, I just think he get overlooked because of the whole CR7 v Messi, BBC v MSN, etc., too many other front cover news stories for him to get the recognition he deserved.

People attribute the titles to the talent he played with and use red cards and evidence against his individual talent, but on the wing he was a Cafu, Maldini. Marcelo scored tons of goals, free kicks, penalty kicks yet he's best known for being a hard nosed CB and Captain. WC, EC, CL trifecta. GOAT.

 

He was so good at RB. It's mad he was an even better CB. Another reason many were against this is because young Ramos was not the most stable defensively back then but being on the flank your errors can be stopped before they get to shoot, something which a CB cannot afford to make. But boy here we are.

 

Carreras kind of reminds me of Ramos at fullback, but on the left side.

 

You don't even need to say "probably". He's undeniably the greatest CB of his era in my opinion. There is no one that comes close in my opinion. He had elite physical, technical and mental/leadership attributes. I can't think of many that that have all of those at a high level, let alone at a high level that Ramos consistently reached. Oh, and not to mention he had the 'X-factor', considering the amount of important goals/assists he literally made out of sheer mentality.

 

If we have the opportunity to sign a 19 year old Ramos and 24 year old Pepe, I'd sign the paperworks in a heartbeat even knowing their potential discipline issues.

 

There is no way we're going to sign another attacking midfielder in the Mexican 16 year old Gilberto Mora, right? Gotta catch em all?

 

hehe

heard he is a talent though, has anyone seen him?

 

had some great saves vs Colombia the other day. Dude has great reflexes

 

He's also a big boy

 

Yeah I really thought Canizares' son has great potential but he faded

 

Apparently we're trying to sign him and have him arrive in 2027 lol...
He does look like a ridiculous talent though....
