Same news from yesterday, but Alba on loan?

Holy shit, this rumor from last April
Theo turned out to be God damn horrendous - though of course he's still got time to grow - and Alba is being the best LB in the world atm. What a swap that would've been...

This thread is an absolute goldmine of premature doom and gloom btw. Reality doesn't feel quite as bad as it was foretold.

Him and Hakimi are 20. And they've been thrown out there by their manager who expected them to keep a cool head in front of a rabid and unforgiving Bernabeu crowd expecting nothing less than a win. Of course they've been trash.

There should be zero blame on what they can and can't do. If anything this season is a learning experience for both in so many ways. Hakimi held his own quite a bit when Carvajal was out. Theo didn't because he effectively shat himself each time the team struggled and he knew he had to play well, so that at least he contributes to a draw every time it happened. He knew exactly what and when he fucked up last night, just look how much effort he put into running up and down the pitch after he lost his man on the corner for the Leganes goal.

This season is completely irrepresentative of what both of them can actually do. Swapping Alba for Theo is of course idiotic, but being a backup? He'd more than live up to expectations at Camp Nou.

What a horrible player. At least with Ceballos you can see the talent, but this one? Nah man, just nah.

He's fast I give you that but He's a lot more limited than I thought.

His brother (who's supposed to be a CB) has much better season as a LB than him.

 

[Givenchy]

Madrid move came too early, he should of stayed at Alaves for a few more seasons

 

[LosBlancos]

He's young and will probably be on the squad next year.

 

[Donatello]

His brother Lucas Hernandez is class.

Has been exceptional at LB for France, better than David Alaba imo. Plus, can play as a CB when needed. He is solid defensively, not bad at going forward either.

But sadly, no way we could sign him.

Looks like he's on his way out at Real.

He really fucked up by leaving Atleti, he would have probably got all those chances at LB in front of his brother. In the end it turned out great for Lucas, Atleti and France, they got a fullback in the mold of Abidal, who is equally great as a Cb and LB

I'm guessing AM full well knew who to bet on. Otherwise I doubt they would have let him go in the first place.

He had a buyout clause. They could not do anything.

Really? I didn't know that. I guess that's why they tried to renew him back then, even though he had a long contract.

 

[FC433]

Buyout clauses are mandatory in La Liga and most of the players have really low ones. Theo's was 30m I believe.

Apparently it was lower than that - just the 24m RM paid. According to this article, RM added a bit in performance related bonuses in order to appease AM.
