Madrid's third choice CB (Varane) is better than Mathieu in his sleep. Yet Mathieu will probably be a starter for us. Am I the only one who thinks this is fucked up? I can't think of a single top team where Mathieu would be a starter (besides Barca, of course).

Maybe the whole Blind thing is a ploy to make the Mathieu signing look better. It's already working for me :lol:

There were a lot of :worthy:s on this thread last summer. I even saw one guy claim he was our best midfield prospect since Iniesta :rofl1:

The hype he got is why La Masia is overrated. People act like every guy who comes out of La Masia is gonna be world class. Best academy in the world, but still overrated.

We want to buy him as a CB, when he's not a CB.

Thiago left? Doesn't matter, we'll be just fine. After all, we have Sergi Roberto!

Funny how you voted for Benatia in the "Which CB would you buy" poll. But I guess now that the board aren't going after him, they must be right. After all, they never get anything wrong. Especially not with CBs.

+1. Dude wouldn't be a starter at any top club. I've said this a few times already, but he'll be a decent squad player, nothing more. If we get him, we NEED to buy another CB. Him as our only CB signing would be a disaster. But I guess it could be worse with our board (Daley Blind as our only...

So Benatia isn't worth 50 million but this guy is worth 22. Dat logic :zubi: :worthy:

Watch him beast it next season. We're gonna regret not buying him.

It wasn't even a high foot. Just an unfortunate collision.

Sent off? :lol: Once again: He. Won. The. Ball.

Not really. It varies from player to player, but a football player's peak years tend to be around 27-29.

Winning the CL is a lot harder than winning a Euro or WC.

So the options we're looking at are Mathieu and Blind, and both would cost 20m+... :facepalm: One's not good enough to start for us (or any top team, for that matter), the other isn't even good enough to warm our bench.

If he leaves, I'll be fucking pissed at Zubi and co for not getting him.

Md and Sport "journalists" always report false news.

Which isn't saying much, since Blind is shit and not even a CB. I'd rather pay 20m for Mathieu than get Blind, but that doesn't mean 20m for Mathieu is a good idea.

Mathieu will be bought to play cb, not lb.

DAT double pivot :lol: I'm guessing one of Modric, Kroos and James will be benched. If I had to guess, I'd say Modric. I don't think Ancelotti would be dumb enough to use a midfield trio of Modric, Kroos and James.
