what are the numbers? 588 million for Barcelona. https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/77s5e6/barcelonas_wage_bill_will_reach_588m_this_season/

I agree with that. Definitely disappointed in Messi to demand such a huge amount. Completely agree. Our wage structure is out of control. There is no reason that we should have to pay much higher salaries than Real Madrid. None.

I'm not saying Messi is greedy because of what he has done for the club, but his contract hurts us a lot in the coming years in the wage structure. It was not his fault but it comes back to us. I agree that we should offload Gomes and Vidal first as high earners who don't perform. Good that we...

He will rest 2-3 players from best team

I certainly agree but we never can have a good wage structure when we give 1 player 60 million each year. Way too much. And we certainly can't give Umtiti 9 million at age 24. Just not possible. 7 million will be max.

yeah and then he costs 150 million. Lets not do that.

who gives a fuck about them? Start him if he is fit.

lol what?

Xavi wishes he had 50% of Messi's talent.

He isn't better than Piqué or Ramos. And Upamecano would be a damn terror with a great CB alongside him. I would like to keep Umtiti but this isn't black or white. Good player but can get replaced if he wants too much money.

You are overrating him. De Ligt yes but Upamecano has proven him at age 19 in one of the 4 best leagues in the world and in Europe competitions. There isn't even any proof to your point that he is the best CB in the world.

Yeah lets get him for free in 2019.

Gomes looked very good with Valencia. No scouts were needed to see that

Complete monster. Should be our first target to replace Umtiti.

this and people forget we were not good defensively last year with him. If he is greedy replace him with Upamecano and get over with it.

no way in hell. Madrid would have 0 UCLs without Ronaldo.

how are we idiots if he wants too much money?

It's not necessarily a list of replacements. It could be but I think the plan was to buy a young defender anyway this summer as a replacement for Vermaelen or Mina (loan). If Umtiti leaves, you just have to buy 2. My guess in that case would be Lenglet and Upamecano or de Ligt.

Madrid depends on Ronaldo to get to finals every season. No difference. When he is not playing they lose to Leganes at home in the CdR.

we shouldn't take any risks with the injured players with 11 points lead and Roma coming up
