Pretty good. Let them stay.

You don't think we'll be selling Messi now do you?

Aye. Modrić coming off the bench and scoring goals is clearly worse than walking Busquets. Ramos being part of a backline that conceded half the amount of goals is clearly worse than Pique. Kroos arguably performing the best since 2016 is clearly inferior to Rakitić. No basis.

Didn't I tell you last year that Madrid will be stronger with Zidane this season? Voila. It's happening. Your oldies were looking crap last year. Unless they go from crap to great in a season it's the management that is stronger this year, not your veterans.

That being said, in attack, our veterans are still considerably better than yours. Don't kid yourself.

I've bickered enough laddie, gotta do something a bit more useful than keep refreshing this page to answer your 'interesting' views/trolling. Keep thinking your oldies are better than RMs right now. I'm sure Rakitić and Pique would have gotten that much better with a Ten Hag :lol:

You always say it, but you can't help yourself from posting shit about Barca. How's your favorite player Ceballos btw? I watch EPL hoping to see him play but it never happens.

Don't worry, I'll be here exposing your trash talk/double standards every time. Cheers.

Have you forgotten how shit Ramos and Modric were just last season and at the beginning of this? And how good Pique was in the clasico? It all comes down to form, but they all are unreliable as fuck.

Not so difficult when you only have to show up for a Clasico because the other games are sorted by three forwards stacking 50 goals in half a season. Bit more problematic when you literally cannot make a mistake, because your team has one forward player scoring 80% of the frontline's goals. As for Modrić, yes, the whole point is that right now he's where he's supposed to have been at least since 2017 when we still had Kovacić. And he's profiting from being used less.

I think he will come only if they guarantee him a fresh season, not just these remaining 5 months. He has to get at least 1 full season, not just Ernie's scraps.

I'd personally give him this remaining season, the next season. And if he doesn't fuck it up badly in his first full season and we can see a new proper team shaping up, I'd give him a second season too.

I don't think he'll take over unless they give him ownership of the sporting project. I think he's smart enough to realize what happened with Pep and Lucho towards the end of their tenures.

Your avatar but him as manager at the end of the season, please.

We've suffered enough at the hands of EV.

Would he have the balls to make the necessary decisions regarding all of his friends?

Suarez Pique Busi Rakitic Alba all will need to be replaced in the next 1-2 years. Hell maybe even Messi....

I feel he has the drive to make these decisions for the best of the team. He's very precise and straightforward about the way he sees football. Let's hope he shows strenght of character for this job, because it's clear as daylight that the football brain and tactical aspects are elevated much beyond what someone like Valverde is capable of, at least based of what we've seen from Valverde in these 2 and a half years.
