If Higuain left and a inferior player came in form of Aguero

YOU just did not say that did you?

 

[por supuesto]

Oh yes he did, Kun is half the player Higuain is.

[Metaphysical]

absolutely god damn right.

 

[DucdeOrléans]

Blasphemy.

 

[por supuesto]

I have no idea what that's supposed to mean but i guess the proper response would be, right back at ya slick!

 

[Myrmecophile]

Sorry, I really just wanted to use that gif. Although I do disagree. Higuain is great, a really good goalscorer, but Kun has the potential to be better.

This.

What I find suspicious is that no one has mentioned anything about Coentrao anymore. Either Madrid have struck a deal or this whole thing was prime bullshit. Last I heard was that we offered Drenthe + 25 million for the left back. Terrible deal if I ever saw one.

He will come eventually and Benfica know that they'll have to accept his departure after his claims for the press. It's just a matter of offer.

Potential yeah but there's a lot of pieces that needs to fall into place before he becomes a world beater, also i have a crush on Higuain even though he's a Madrista.

£22 million plus Ricky Roysten Drenthe is what I'm hearing.

What formation do you see José using mainly next season? Will it have both Marcelo and Coentrao in? Or will Marcelo just back up both Coentrao and Ronaldo on the left?

 

[El Gato]

I don't see Marcelo being benched. Coentrao will be a backup, he is the one who has something to prove and if he does then he'll get into rotation fairly quickly. Formations will vary, but I don't see Coentrao being something more than a role player, unless he has a Di Maria start and adds something special to Madrid's game.

IMO Jose will try out some formations like 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-2-1 in preseason and will follow up with the one that gives most solidity in the midfield.

Coentrao and Di Maria formed a brilliant partnership in Benfica. Would not surprise me at all if Coentrao surpassed Marcelo relatively quickly.

Marcelo will at least have plenty of time to rest up this summer, not being bothered by national team call ups or anything of that nature.
