Azeem Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) Will be a very different Real Madrid this season, they will rely more on possession than most previous RM teams. So far though, looking at the squad, it lacks directness & that has almost never been said about Real.

SirBalon Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Aspas is off his head going there but he loves Lopetegui so I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I know Aspas has been very good at Celta, but I still remember his time with us and as a result I can't help but think it's hilarious. I hope they have him take corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozziovai Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 madrid would be buying the latest fax machines and set them up in their office while the other would be sent to PSG. If Uefa would rule that PSG has indeed breached the FFP Rules this coming friday, then Perez might get a heart attack from all the tension and anxiety if they'll be able to land mighty mouse Mbappe ..... or even oscar winning Neymar.

PSG aren't gonna get banned... It's their second time breaching FFP rules only that this time they've really ignored them completely and gone mental. The thing is that that club has some of the game's biggest names and UEFA like most other insitutions are into selling something so as to get something in return.... They're not gonna ban them but keep an eye open for the next club that does break those rules and let's hope it's not a club with so many star names in their side. The court battle will be entertaining to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No VAR in the UCL knock out stages. why ?? we've seen it to be effective during the world cup, although it delays the game and halts it's momentum, but it was useful to some degree nonetheless.

SirBalon Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 When Casemiro was asked yesterday after the match against Roma by a journalist; "Do you feel Modrić is in a good position to win the next Ballon d'Or?" Casemiro answers; "Modrić? No, I wouldn't give it to Modrić, I'd give it to Cristiano! (Ronaldo)" It looks like the guy that plays closest to Modrić (could say he's his partner on the field) during the whole year doesn't value him as highly as others have been. I bet that's gone down like a dream in the Real Madrid dressing room and even more so than the man that thinks marketing all the time with Florentino Pérez.

In fact, he'd been given more responsibility. Just me as a United man, he may have had a good season when Ronaldo left but was never the same after that, there were too much contract issues with Rooney and I have always said that if Rooney was that great at the time then why didn't some big European clubs like Barca or Real come in with a mega-buck offers for him? I always thought that maybe Real would have put an offer in for Rooney to play with Ronaldo but that never materialized. Anyway, Rooney is in the MLS now and by all accounts doing quite well, good luck to him.

I'm sure there were a few at la Real that told him 'you're helping Real Sociedad with the transfer money!'. I suspect it happens more than we realise. Of course this is also the club that couldn't keep a future club captain from joining their (arguably weaker) DIRECT rivals.
