What do you suggest then. We will be fighting for the 3 tittles next year and having a WC depth its a must. This year we had Higuain/Benzema fighting for the CF and that was okay. Next year we can't just show with Benzema/Morata or something like this.

yeah, we are fighting for titles every year, yet that doesnt justify having two bona fide world class talent fighting for the same spot. Benzema wants to be n1, Higuain wants to be n1, Aguero wants to be n1... you chose one, build around him, and let him grow into the best player he can be. If you want back up, look for players like Drogba, Milito, Pizzaro, Klose, Soldado etc...

You will never see Rooney and RVP sharing the striking position for example, when player mature, they want their own team. Just look at the situation we are in atm with Higuain... it was a bit of an exceptional situation we have been in the past couple of years, but we could afford it because they were very young, and competing for top position was ok. As time goes, it gets harder. We might retain Higuain one more year, but the same problem will pop up next summer, with someone unsatisfied with his playing time.

It's not like they didn't get much playing time. They had enough. Benzema got more minutes than Higuain, but there wasn't a big difference. Both got to score a lot of goals and they shared the CF role perfectly. I understand that Higuain is unhappy about his playing time but this year we are getting rid of Kaka and if Di Maria gets injuried or something he can be played out of position and fill for Di Maria. But still I would understand if he leaves and woulnd't regret him leaving cause I'm not a big fan of him. But if he goes we can't just settle with a CF that doesn't have quality. If the likes of Drogba, Klose, Milito etc I would give the Okay for them. But I wouldn't like that our hopes on winning a trophy in case that Benz gets injuried to be held on some guy who doesn't have quality.

Lucas, Callejon and Di Maria aren't midfielders. Lucas isn't AM. He and Callejon are wingers/SS and Di Maria is a winger. Lucas and Callejon can play even CF if we need. Higuain won't leave.

so the logic is that we should go out and spend some 45-50m euros on a rotation striker just to look good? find a quality poacher like Milito, and feed him, he will score you 20 goals every season.

Last I checked a winger is a midfielder. U can even check at Real Madrid official website to see that Di Maria and Callejon are midfielders. And Lucas is an AM/Winger. So stop arguing over things you don't know
