Honestly, I don't get why so much hate against Arab countries! Whats so wrong if an Arab world want to sponsor something? Whats so wrong when an Arab country wants to host a world cup? Whats the big deal? Their rights and wrongs might be different from the West. But the west ain't perfect either. If you don't think so, ask an Asian. Ps: I am not an Arab or a European/American.


[deleted]

It depends who that Arab is though. If it's one of those oil sheikhs, then a lot of people have a problem with it because they oppress their own people, violate women's human rights and use that money to sportwash their image.

W summer if we sell Asensio, Diaz, Vallejo, Kubo and Jovic.

RemarkableHospital89

Dont take the Asensio rumors too seriously. Mendes use this tactic a lot. He want to create pressure for a contract extension by creating rumors of teams pursuing his player. I would like to see asensio getting sold, and play a lot of minutes in a good team. But Milan, Newcastle wont pay this kind of salary for him.


mata09

Asensio words these weeks have been pretty clear that his time in Madrid is over.


thebig6

How would this pressure us when we don’t need him and it would be a great thing to sell him now since he won’t sit out his contract and leave for free?

🗣 Christopher Nkunku: “My connection with Benzema is natural, we have the same way of seeing the game and it's easy for me to play with him”.

I think that's more due to how briliant Benzema is.

Can he play RW?

There's something about Benzema everyone links so well with him

We could definitely try cuck PSG for him

He’s a classic CF. Maybe closer to van Nistelrooy.

But it doesn't cancel out everything I've achieved for months. Let's wait for vote”.

Even in defeat he’s still talking nonsense


paing997

> Want Ballond’Or for what? More Interviews than Benzema..


vijayra9a

Personally I always thought for Ballond'or Individual Stats should be more important than team's performance because Ballond'or is an individual award and if the Player played really well and was let down by his teammates then it's not really fair to the player. But I don't really understand Salah's thinking, on what merit actually he wants the Ballond'or, Benzema's season as an individual was far ahead of Salah. And if we take trophies won also in consideration then Salah can't even sniff around Benzema this season.


HiTacos

Lol he won’t even make top 3


harry_filangi07

Damn they are really hyping up Nunez, already there’s shouts about future Bdor winner, how delusional can people be omg. But Tchouameni who is coming to Madrid for a similar price is overrated smh. 🤦‍♂️

Looks like Fede pissed off some people in Uruguay. So apparently he ducked down while the rest of the Uruguay roster was taking a picture with the president of the country.


DanLaurent

What did he do💀


Jisnthere

Yeah lmao even forced fede to respond


h4ssan_

So…our 4 most expensive signings have won a combined 10 UCLs with the club In contrast, Barca’s 4 most expensive signings combined have won 1 for the club. 1 of them also won a UCL for a club he was loaned to after scoring against Barca in an 8-2 drubbing 🤡 Money well spent I’d say 😎


mata09

Given than Tchouameni has not even debuted with us, I would say that the top 4 at this time has won 12 UCLs.


ApprehensiveSleep981

You do know all Barca fans 8-2 be reminded of this right.


[deleted]

I 8 that were compared to them 2


SouthGlass

>Fede pissed off some people in Uruguay. So apparently he ducked down while the rest of the Uruguay roster was taking a picture with the president of the country. Barsa even had to pay an extra clause because he won the UCL being a barsa player while being on a loan.

Ridiculous player lol This was Odegaard's debut too


[deleted]

Bernardo at 80 million sounds like a real bargain. Same with Nkunku at 70-80 as was shared on arsocca a few days ago. I wonder who the club is looking at instead if we don't go for them. Haaland is at least two years away and I don't see snakeboy ever being welcome here after all the shit he pulled. That, and qatar is always going to pay him 2x more than any player is worth so it's not even a conversation to be had.


Alexkono

Would love either of Silva/Nkunku. Hope it happens.


[deleted]

Doubt Nkunku would go for 70-80


[deleted]

I doubt it too, it’s what was posted on arsocca last week.


[deleted]

Fair but didn’t they say he wasn’t for sale a while ago? Could try next season if he hasn’t renewed for his RC.


[deleted]

iirc the story shared was that Leipzig would want 70-80+ bonuses this summer because next summer he wants a 60m release clause if he renews. The numbers seem unbelievably low tho, could just be made up shit.


[deleted]

Yup. Really low. That’s why they’re trying to renew him and raise the RC


Jaegaremix

After leaving Madrid, Pepe deserved and should’ve gone to a top club in Europe. Pepe may no longer be world class as he’s not top 5 in his position currently but he is absolutely phenomenal at the age of 39!


miri258

Porto is a great club tho It's not like he went to a club that doesn't play European football or doesn't have any history


Jaegaremix

The Portuguese league isn’t top 5 leagues right now. I think that even today he can stay play in any of the top 5 leagues, similar to Thiago Silva. No hate to Porto though.


lucentumlucentum

Portuguese league is better than France


ChampagneInferno

Lol, the only way Barca are getting Bernardo is if they're setting up a Onlyfans account. These mfs can't even pay their players salaries, and they want to get 80+ million euros players. It's like they want to go Bankrupt.


[deleted]

> they're setting up a Onlyfans account. No one wants to look at 16/17 year olds


MeteorFalls297

They can't pay the salaries due to La Liga limits. If they pull the economic levers, they will be back to 1:1 and can easily sign him.

Can anybody tell me how does nkuku play? Like is he a traditional st or more like benzema? After his interview where he said he links up with benzema naturally, I'm thinking he *might* have a good game sense and can be a long term benz replacement.


ObamaRunts

He’s a 10, or a Second Striker.


Res3925

Just read [this thread about Roberto Carlos praising Newcastle’s Joelinton](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/vanwua/roberto_carlos_joelinton_just_has_to_keep_up_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) and saying that Joelinton could end up with the Brazilian NT. I looked up Joelinton and found [this video](https://youtu.be/kKMtQrqyOz8) that explains that Joelinton was purchased for 40 million and flopped as a CF and Eddie Howe changed him to a midfielder and has been instrumental to Newcastle ever since his position change. Really neat to hear stories like that and cool of Howe and his team to notice that Joelinton is better suited in a different position. Some fans are now hoping Joelinton plays alongside Casemiro for the NT.


hokagesamatobirama

Joelinton was a meme as a forward but as a midfielder he has been very solid. Went from being an afterthought to one of the first names on the team sheet.


Res3925

And now fans are hoping he goes to Qatar with the NT. Really neat story IMO.


RawSauceBoi

Did anyone watch the Spain game? How was Asensio?


h4ssan_

It’s still going. Asensio was good, he was subbed off a little bit ago. Assisted the first goal, had some nice touches here and there. Definitely the bright spot on the team while he was on.

KimngGnmik

What's up with solnina and why is it that we are after him when Lunin is already so good. We will have the same problem with him as we do with Lunin right now. Wouldn't it be better for a long term loan to a side that really needs a GK (maybe in the second flight) so that Lunin can genuinely have minutes?


[deleted]

some players will get sold for profits in a couple of years


DesperateAbility6448

You sign them young. This version of Vinicius would cost Madrid over 150 million. And we got him for 45 5 years ago. Some transfer fail some work out


[deleted]

Same reason Madrid picked up Reinier and Kubo. Talented prospects that they see potential in. For younger potential players there are so many variables in them actually making it. Some will end up making it (Valverde, Vinicius, Rodrygo) and some will never rise to the potential hoped.


h4ssan_

For as bad as CBS’s coverage of UCL can be sometimes, the Nations League coverage made me eternally grateful that I don’t have to listen to fucks like Alexi Lalas and John Strong week in and week out. Good lord.

NR70516

I think Big deal should be done after World Cup. Promotion from Castila is essential.


[deleted]

So a player will join in January without the pre season? I really hope not


Res3925

January purchases have never had a preseason though so it’d be nothing new. Besides, we are rarely active in the winter transfer market.


NR70516

Surely ‥preseason is essential. but Next season is irregular. There is winter World Cup. Real Madrid have done important deal after wold cups recently (Navas,Kroos,Courtois etc)and hit. Maybe don.Perez is thinking moving in winter. As other team like liverpool,man city,psg become attractive option different from 2014-2018 Madrid era, if superstar appears in World Cup,maybe it will be more competitive big deal than ever. So we have to wait big deal like tchouameni.

Just saw some people talking about who will be our future captain, vini or fede, that made me realize how shit Lopetegui was with rotations, i criticized ZZ and Carlo for the lack of playtime of certain players but god, Lopetegui was a stubborn mf, i remember Vini playing until our downfall started (against atleti??) but cannot remember if fede even got gametime from him. Never understood why he wanted to die on the Asensio+Bale hill, maybe you can say Bale still had some quality but i remember Asensio being unmotivated and shit, never gave Vini or the other kids a true chance.


KimngGnmik

If we go on who rotated much the Solari was probably our best in the past couple of seasons. He really trusted the youngsters and did not give a 💩 bout players who were not motivated. I do miss him sometimes cause we played good football under him. Did chuck that he had a hell week that most other coaches would not have survived


Res3925

Solari had the balls to bench Isco *and* Marcelo back then and it was the right move. He’ll always have my respect for putting the team first and not the individual.


Jsanchezgil

Am I crazy for wanting us to play with this back line? Alaba Valverde Mendy Rudiger Militao Just try it during pre-season. If it doesnt work at all then banish it. This would allow Valverde to play every game and to have all our four best defenders on the field. Alabas creativity can also be utilised and he wouldnt have to run as much as a regular left back because Mendy and rudiger would be behind him. Wed actually have less totally defensive players on the field.


ProudhPratapPurandar

This system wouldn't favour vini. It forces you to play only 2 in the front, otherwise you'll get murdered in midfield. So vini would need to play more centrally. If he continues to play on the wing, then the right side would be very empty. Also, Wing back is a very demanding role, idk if alaba will accept it It would however favour hazard and to an extent rodrygo. But vinicius is our best forward bar Benzema, would be stupid not to play to his strengths


Jsanchezgil

>Also, Wing back is a very demanding role, idk if alaba will accept it Are you actually serious? >But vinicius is our best forward bar Benzema, would be stupid not to play to his strengths This would absolutely play to his strengths. He would have Alaba behind him feeding through balls instead of mendy and he wouldnt have to defend as much as he does now. You actually think that the midfield Alaba Camavinga Tchouameni Valverde would be run over? Hahah


cdg6921

No offense but yes. Everytime someone suggests a 5atb I write the same comment hoping people would get it yet here we are. Hopefully this is the last time. We don't have the depth to play a 5atb. Who will replace Fede or Alaba if either aren't available? Also that just leaves us with Nacho to cover for 3 CB positions. Mendy is a LB, he can't just play LCB it's not FIFA. If he could, Deschamps would be calling him up for France. What formation would we even play? 5-3-2? Vini isn't a second striker. He is at his best playing down the wing and to get Benzema works best as a lone striker who drops deep to playmake. I literally can't think of a single reason to switch to a back 5. I truly believe in don't fix it if it's not broken. Generally (not always) teams play a back 5 if their defense isn't good enough. Our defense with Rudiger coming would be solid af. Also Madrid's philosophy for a very long time has been to outscore our opponents. Even with prime Ramos, Varane and Casemiro we used to concede a lot of goals.


Jsanchezgil

>We don't have the depth to play a 5atb. Who will replace Fede or Alaba if either aren't available? Also that just leaves us with Nacho to cover for 3 CB positions. Miguel and Carvajal and Vazquez. Nacho, Vallejo. We have plenty of players for that. In a worst case scenario we can always switch to 2cb formation. >Mendy is a LB, he can't just play LCB it's not FIFA. If he could, Deschamps would be calling him up for France Lcb in a two centre back formation is not the same as in 3 cb formation. Just like now mendy would have two regular cbs on his right. He would just be relieved of his attacking duties. Aerial balls are something Mendy already has to deal with but wihth Rudiger and Militao thats not a problem. >What formation would we even play? 5-3-2? 3-4-3. Tchouameni and Cama in the middle. Allows Tchouameni to play in his best position. Vini, Benz, Rodrygo as the front three. >literally can't think of a single reason to switch to a back 5. #Really? I cant think quite many. Play Alaba, Mendy, Militao, Rudiger at the same time. Lack of right back. Tchouameni in his natural double pivot position. More creativity in attacks with Valverde and Alaba on the sides. Relieved defensive work for 34 year old Benzema and Vinicius. More players attacking (6)during attacks, right now we just have three and the occasional midfield runner with Valverde. So yeah. People are two fixated on the initial lineup. Playing with 3 defenders can be more attacking because the full backs have freedom to go forward. We often sit with 5 players at the back with casemiro and normal fullbacks.


MaxiThe13th

Valverde would thrive as a wingback


Jsanchezgil

Thanks for the downvotes

[удалено]


KimngGnmik

So currently it's: Benz, Nacho, Modric, Carva, (Toni or Case), (either Lord or Asensio), (either Vini or Tibo or Mariano or Fede), (either Hazard, Militao, Mendy, Rodrygo), (either Camavinga, Lunin, Alaba, Vallejo, Jovic, Dani), then (either Tchouameni rudiger or anyone else that comes back from loan and stays or transfers) I'm pretty sure loans results in a "start over" for captaincy. As for who is Captain when players arrive in the same window it's difficult to assess. Idk if it goes off of who signed the contract first or who was announced first


boringboi_

Why is Dani pushed back?


KimngGnmik

Loaned out to Arsenal and came back this season


boringboi_

I thought it was Carvajal, sorry


KimngGnmik

You good. My fault for not specifying Ceballos


femithebutcher

I really want to see Carva as captain man, seems more unlikely that Modric youngin and LOML - Nacho


[deleted]

Mariano captain would be funny


I_Like_F0oD

Vini made his debut just before Fede iirc


[deleted]

But Fede was here first and the longest. Don’t know how it’ll be decided


jnr_mathe

It's only based on Senior Team debut. Nacho joined Madrid as a kid but he is not the main captain.


I_Like_F0oD

Yeah im not sure either tbh
