James Rodriguez

Pretty sure Ancelotti wants them out. He is a perfectionist, I reckon Di María and Khedira don't have a place in his plans.

Replacing Di Maria with Kroos? That's a crazy downgrade. Not that I'm sad for that.

di maria is one of anelottis favorite players.. he sais he wants him to stay but i think di maria doesnt want, otherwise he wouldnt have said those things that messi's better than ronaldo, etc

A lot of Colombians on my Facebook feed posting the past few days about how James deserved the golden ball instead of Messi. I'd agree with them if he got further but he didn't. No player outside the 4 semifinalists has ever won the golden ball. I don't even bother arguing with them as none of them actually consistently watch the sport outside the world cup.

The guy wasn't even in the top 3 and clearly wasn't worth even the Bronze Ball, Colombians are just bragging around but he only played chit teams and had a nice goal vs. Uruguay, that doesn't mean much, maybe only Silver Goal, as the 2nd best after Cahill.

 

[Paganinisrvnge]

He was definitely top 3. Not the best, though.

Khedira and Di Maria out then. Looks like Florentino is fucking up a well set Real Madrid again with his galacticos shenanigans.

That's good, no? I despise that man with a passion.

Why wouldnt he? Theyve won their decima, rebuild their reputation after the Mourinho dark ages. Now its time to do what Real does best, buy stars and market the shit out of them, until the supporters cry for another CL again in a few years.

No.

Di Maria was never meant to play in that position and it was a streak of extremly good fortune that he performed as well as he did.
Özil was the player Ancelotti needed for his 4-3-3 to work perfectly. Since Kroos is a better Özil, he should fit better in than Di Maria in regular form.
Let's not forget, Di Maria is a winger playing CAM with a lot of defensive responsability.

So if Kroos is a better Ozil he'll be hitting 20+ assists and 15+ goals a season at Real? Yeah, I don't think so

No. Kroos is the guy who makes the pass to the guy who makes the assist.
He has been instrumental for Bayern in that role. He's a true controller.

Holy shit.

Makes 57m for Neymar and 80m for Suarez look like bargains.
