and that is the beauty of football. Never enough and nothing is guaranteed. Madrid have a quality squad, but they, just like us, refuse to let go of the old ones. Why Mendy did not start? Valverde?
Mendy, Casemiro, Fede, Varane, Hakimi
Vs
Frenki
Who are these gems aside from Fede and Mendy? And neither is even close to the level of prime Modric or Marcelo.
Calm down.
We have neither the money nor the foresight and business acumen required to make great transfers that are investments for the future, either under a Bartomeu, Rousaud or a Font presidency.
Odeggard, Hakimi, Reguilon, Kubo, any of the three Brazilian kids if they turn out decent...

Odegaard is an absolute starter quality. He's perfect for this side. As direct or controlling as you need him to be. Perfect Modrić replacement.
That remains to be seen and is in no way a certainty.
Only Hakimi is certified starter quality from that bunch. And even him, he has a lot of space in Bundesliga.
All of those are good to decent for Liga teams, non looked like or proven he can be a quality starter in Classico.
Huh? Hakimi is one of the best RBs in the world right now, Odegaard is beasting in La Liga and they are not good enough for Real Madrid? Pedri might be great but he plays in the Segunda. And in my opinion Emerson is not even close to being like Hakimi, not yet at least.

When Ødegaard returns you'll probably sign one or two established players in his position which will make him leave.
Yes, but Hakimi is the only one from your list who is performing great at the top.
