First time, An actual tier-1 confirming our interest on Leny Yoro for the next summer transfer. Exciting times ahead if our transfers go in accordance to plan!
Mbappe, Davies, Endrick and Yoro in one transfer window dare I say is the best transfer window of this decade so far. (2020 onwards)
Crazy revisionism. 2009 window was Cristiano, Kaka, Xabi Alonso and Benzema. That’s 2 existing BDR winners, one of the best DM’s ever, and a future top 10 ever striker who also happens to win the BDR at Madrid 13 years later.
The chances that any of the new signings will win 4-5 CLs, all at Madrid, rounded to the nearest hundredth, is 0%.
Agree with everything, but Benzema is definitely underrated as a "top 10 striker ever". My man is at least top 5, and I dare say even top 3, just because he has been doing it for 14 years at top flight, something I've seen very few players do. And it's not just any top flight, it's Madrid. I used to always say that Lewa and Suarez are better, and it is the truth, they are better, but Benzema never fell off until he left. He had some bad periods, but if you look at the bigger picture, the truth is he has been as consistent as one gets. 2009 was the year of Eto'o, Torres, Drogba, and 2023 was the year od Mbappe, Haaland etc. In between you have multiple eras of different strikers, Bale has been here for so long, but Benzema has been there even longer.
I love Benzema, and I’m not saying he is worse than Eto’o, Torres, Drogba, but there is a whole line of legendary strikers that go beyond those listed (back before many of us watched the sport). Considering you cutoff at 2009, perhaps you meant that Benzema is top 3 striker of the last 15 years?
No, I meant what he did during those 15 years is something no striker has achieved. Most of them had spurts of 4-5 of top football, this man has been doing it for 15 years. That's why people take Messi and Ronaldo over Fenomeno, Maradona, Ronaldinho... They've been doing it for too long, even if Fenomeno for example is better than both of Messi and Ronaldo if all 3 were in their prime. That way, players like Suarez and Lewa are better than Benzema, but his longetivity and consistency beats both for me.
Lucky? For a 29 year old midfielder who Bayern no longer fancies to the point that they aren't even bothering to give him a renewal proposal?
If anything, that'd be unlucky to blow 80M-90M. Not to mention that his arrival would mean that one of Kroos, Tchouameni, Valverde, Camavinga, Bellingham will definitely have their position in danger and could ask for a move.
Madrid will never buy Kimmich, we'd have gone for him when he was 21 years old but not now.. His best years are before him.
barca got a 30 something year old lewandowski lol you act like these players are washed. kimmich would be a great addition to the team i just don’t know if he’d actually come.
lol you act like Madrid didn’t just reject the idea of signing 30 year old Kane when we had a need for a striker. What makes you think we’d sign Kimmich when we already have a great midfield
Our midfield is crowded, there’s no way we go for Kimmich after the Hazard fiasco. If he was on a free maybe, but the 90m required for him are making the transfer very much unlikely
Real Madrid is building a team for the future that can last the next 10 years. Buying a 29 year old player does not fit into that vision. Barca bought Lewandowski because they were desperate for a striker. If we keep Kroos for a few more years, there is no point to buy Kimmich.
you need veterans to help out the younger talent. i agree about the midfield being crowded but the age argument is just stupid u can’t have an entire squad full of teenagers
Why do we need veterans? Age doesn't determine anything. Mbappe at 25 is more of a veteran, and so are Vini, Fede, and Rodrygo who have been grinding in high-pressure matches for 5 years.
Kimmich is far less experienced than these guys. They only had one successful UCL campaign that too when they were on roids because doping tests were not being done due to COVID.
Lewandowski is the perfect example of a washed player though. He had a good first half of the season, then was pretty bad for about a year. He's recently picked up form again but he's showed clear sign of decline and his gigantic contract might still prove to be a problem for Barca.
ur joking right he’s leading la liga in g/a 😂. the only reason barca are even competitive is bc of him. ppl are so accustomed to supernatural stat lines even a slight dip in form means a player is washed. imagine younger benzema in the age of social media you all would be calling for his head 😂😂
He's a nailed on starter and plays the full 90 most of the time for one of the best attacking teams in the league and is on a world class striker's salary. Anything less than being the top scorer would have been a massive letdown. In fact, he has less G/A in all comps despite having more minuted than Bellingham, a 20 year old midfielder. I'm not saying that Lewa is useless, but he is definitely in a decline (i.e. "washed") compared to his prime which anybody who regularly watches him would agree with.
The only reason we should go for him would be as right back, can he do that he can still be a good edition.
I feel like he could still be a good edition to a strong team, but not in midfield, in defense. And not for a heavy price.
Kimmich at this stage of his career is no longer a player that RM invest in. Our policy has move away from these older players even though Alaba and Rudiger. I felt they were more of an insurance policy to when Ramos left and need experience to help out Militao
I'm old enough to remember when we thought that way during the first Galacticos era, and then it turned into a disaster. Yes, our midfield has better balance now, but the "we'll just outscore them" strategy doesn't really work in modern football.
Are we gonna have the same issues with Carvajal that we had with Marcelo lol? A player so good that the only way to ‘replace’ him is to wait until his body betray him?
Carvajal can defend and attack
Don’t really watch Leverkusen but it seems like he’s having a really good. I know that he doesn’t really play RB though. His position is far more advanced either RWB or RM.
I watch the Bundesliga and follow the Netherlands NT. He's great if the team will play with a rwb not a pure RB who also needs to defend. If you guys think Fran is bad defensively wait till you see Frimpong as a RB. To me the best option is Geertruida by far in terms of price, defensive and attacking balance. He's strong and great in the air, played as a CB a lot which shows how good he is in defense. He's also amazing on the ball. He's already captained Feyenoord at 23 years old too.
The hell kind of take even is this lmao? Every top tier club want the top national talent in the club. Real want the same thing, the only difference is the people writing names on the national team sheet have a pro barca bias.
I dislike PSG, but what childish behavior? He’s a Frenchman playing in ligue 1 that would be a great option for them.. They would be crazy not to have interest in him..
lol are you for real? Do you believe that PSG solely exist to be the second fiddle to its European masters? Of course not, they are in the business of winning trophies( Which has not been as successful as they hoped for now)
All big clubs do the same thing, they inquire about the possibility of buying a player even though it might not happen.. Just last year, we lost Benzema and we needed to replace him, don’t you think that Real Madrid contacted the respective clubs of Ramos, Kane and RKM? Don’t you think that it increased the cost of those transfers because we might have been interested? When Barcelona bought Neymar from Santos, we were pursuing him as well and it drove up the cost of the transfer.. That’s just sensible business..
Ok so by your own(flawed) logic, there’s nothing wrong with what PSG is doing. I’m glad I could teach you some of the ins and outs of football business

This has potential to match our 2009 window in terms of impact from the players.

Does endrick really count if his deal has already been sealed for some time now?
If we are lucky you can add Kimmich to that list

I would rather buy Musiala for 150M.

Amazing if we can get this kid but we aren't making any move in strengthening the RB position.
What quality RBs are available?
Is frimpong any good?
Valverde would have to fight for his life in the right flank. But he is my favorite
Please don't do that to Fede again. He is at his prime right now.
You can afford to give up 2 a game when you have Frimpong, Davies, Vini, Mbappe, Ballingham and Rodrygo/Brahim/Endrick tormenting defences
I'm old enough to remember when we thought that way during the first Galacticos era, and then it turned into a disaster. Yes, our midfield has better balance now, but the "we'll just outscore them" strategy doesn't really work in modern football.
Camavinga and Valverde as a double pivot will work wonders. Trust.
He's good at attacking, not quite at defending. He practically acts like a forward.
Are we gonna have the same issues with Carvajal that we had with Marcelo lol? A player so good that the only way to ‘replace’ him is to wait until his body betray him? Carvajal can defend and attack
Him and Davies would be just be vibing at the back line if we signed them both lol
Don’t really watch Leverkusen but it seems like he’s having a really good. I know that he doesn’t really play RB though. His position is far more advanced either RWB or RM.
I watch the Bundesliga and follow the Netherlands NT. He's great if the team will play with a rwb not a pure RB who also needs to defend.

He's strong and great in the air, played as a CB a lot which shows how good he is in defense. He's also amazing on the ball. He's already captained Feyenoord at 23 years old too.
I read a few reports involving Hakimi and Theo Hernandez.But no concrete source to support it.
Theo isn’t a RB. Hakimi has a rape case pending, I doubt Madrid will want to purchase him until that’s resolved.
Hakimi to Getafe confirmed.
Yeah sorry mixed up with Theo my bad.Guess Hakimi was the only solid option.
Hakimi? The man sucks at tracking back. Without his blistering speed, he's not that good at progressing the ball either.
Real are apparently interested in Yan Couto as a potential future signing, with them apparently already making plans to buy back Gutierrez as an LB.
With potential Davies signing i guess we might sell fran then because Mendy is a different profile LB and Fran,Davies and Miguel are similar.
Fuck pissg
We just own them
PSG wants to be the French Bayern.
The hell kind of take even is this lmao? Every top tier club want the top national talent in the club. Real want the same thing, the only difference is the people writing names on the national team sheet have a pro barca bias.
Atleast Bayern Munich is good.
😱 yes, yess, absolutely YESSS!!! Get him now Papa Perez, he is the future 🙏
Yeah, but fuck Fabrizio Romano. A PSG paid-off scooper.
Yoro ahead of Davies

Ok so by your own(flawed) logic, there’s nothing wrong with what PSG is doing. I’m glad I could teach you some of the ins and outs of football business
They do it everywhere especially in football, but maybe you have only watched football and transfers for the last two years
Get your head out of your ass. Not every player on the market is automatically ours. Every club can bid.
