Fucking hell, Ozil is mad for being used in the wrong positions all the time We cant lose him, even though we have lots of great players in that position, Ozil is important

Even if Bale comes? How the hell Isco, Bale, Ronaldo and Ozil will fit in that midfield? Placing Ronaldo as a foward is an option, but why taking he away from the position in which he's going berzerk throughout the last seasons?

[Shuttle Destroyer]

Ronaldo wont be placed in front, I'm pretty sure. Even though I would like it, because Benzema is worse than cancer, but wont happen.

Well, lets look at a possible lineup with and without Bale:


-------------Diego Lopez
Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo
------------Mordic, Khedira
Bale ----------- Ozil ----------- Ronaldo
-------------Benzecrap

Bench: Isco, Morata, Casemiro, Pepe, Arbeloa, di Maria, Casillas

Still need room for Illaramendi, Coentrao (or his replacement), Jese, Kaka, Alonso, Nacho... How will they fix this?

Without Bale tho, they prolly fill the spot with Isco da gawd.

That's what I think too, but spending what they did with Isco and Bale to put one of them in the bench is kind of a waste. Not a complete one because having one more great player in your squad is never bad. lol

...because Benzema is worse than cancer, but wont happen

You had me laughing lol

[Shuttle Destroyer]

:laughing:

But yeah, they spent more on Illara than Isco tbh, and he'll end on the bench by the looks of it Thats just the Real Madrid way I guess.

Bale cannot fit into this team atm tbh. Way too many players

Di Maria must be sold lol
Are you concerned about Bale receiving the number 11 shirt?

[Shuttle Destroyer]

He probably will get 11. If we get Bale, we NEED to sell di Maria. And having Isco and Ozil is actually way too much. Both world class players, in a year Isco will be played as a started for Spain. Cant have both, I'm afraid...

A part of me want Bale, maily because Real somehow has played crappy crapcrap the last few games. But seeing as there is no room, I dunno really

Yeah, maybe selling someone is an answer
Monaco should go after Di Maria, tbh

That would be perfect, hah. He wouldnt be a direct threat to Madrid

And Nani on the other wing
Toulalan, Moutinho; Di Maria, J. Rodriguez, Nani; Falcão
I'm just dreaming though . I love to see teams being built lol

[Shuttle Destroyer]

Same here bro, they just bought Kondogbia, too Fucking goat team in the building

Btw, guess whos back, back again, GUTIS BACK, SAY AMEN



Fucking back as assistant u-12(!) trainer.

Yeah, good to see they look to the youth too
Isimat-Mirin, Anthony Martial and now him
Wow, U-12 lol that's kids playing
But that's nice
You know how is De La Red doing, btw?

[cityfan31]

Chelsea gonna walk the league this year IMO

[Shuttle Destroyer]

Lol yeah, they are actually building a great squad. I wonder how teill do against PSG.

And De la Red is a trainer somewhere inside Real Madrid, so thats a great thing. Man, he had so much potential.. I feel so sorry for him.

Oh, I see. Good for him after what happened

What I love about Mourinho being back is the defensive stability, we conceded a record of 15 goals during one season under Mourinho, and I hope we can do the same this time around. I don't mind winning 1-0 games with a solid defense as long as 3 points are up for grabs

The win against Hull was very convincing, not so much against Aston Villa we got away with a few decisions too, the draw against United was fair, and I'm satisfied with a 0-0 away in the toughest stadium.

Apparently Willian has been given his work permit and will complete his signing with Chelsea later today, rumor has it we will also compete the signing of Samuel Eto'o while Demba Ba will head on loan to one of his former clubs Newcastle or West Ham. We are also interested in 21 year old Ghanian winger Atsu from FC Porto but it's said that we will loan him back to Porto as soon as we sign it

I don't mind signing Eto'o for a year since all World Class striking options have been shut down in our faces (Cavani, Falcao, Rooney), Next summer we can focus on getting a striker early on after Eto'o leaves

Now all eyes on the Super Cup against Bayern, I want Mourinho to beat Pep again, plus I want Chelsea to win the title we failed to win last year!

KTBFFH

If we get that solid defence, the ''3'' of 4-2-3-1 will do the rest
Mata, Hazard, Oscar, De Bruyne, Schurrle and now William That's many great players on that part of the pitch
I'm amazed that Mourinho is playing Ramires and Lampard as CM after having Khedira and Xabi Alonso for some seasons on Madrid

I feel you have the strongest squad in the league.

Our attacking band is frightening. We do need someone who can distribute the ball from midfield during the transition from defence to attack though. We're severely lacking that.

And the best manager
EDIT in order to not double post: Eto is now Chelsea. It's official on Thursday.

[SajN]

Today is the 2nd leg of the final match in the Super Cup between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

For the first time Messi and Neymar will start the match together. This will hopefully be good.

[Francesco]

Barca weren't really impressive yesterday...
Yo Menzo... looking at the fixtures for the weekend makes me think Roma is gonna go on top of Seria A. Damn... I've missed that for the longest.

[Guess_Who]

I can't stand Guti, he says the biggest stupid things ever.

Barça won la supercopa.

If they get there, do you think they'll stay there for long? They've now lost two of their best players in this transfer window.

It's touch and go between the squads but we've definitely got a soft centre. We're weak away from home and look suspect at the back. Our keeper is low in confidence, the fans are low in confidence and I think there's gonna be a period of transition for City.

United will lack the advantage Fergie gave them and Moyles will not take enough risks to win the league this year.

I just think it's all set up for Chelsea to win it. You've won the CL, Mourinho is the best coach around and I think psychologically your team will be in the best shape. Eto'o might be old but his finishing is probably still sharp and with that midfield he will get chances. Torres and Ba have been the limiting factor at Chelsea I think.
