we really need morata , try supporting your own player.

I don't like Modric-Kroos as the advanced midfielders. Isco is a must in a 3 man mid imo

we support Benzema though, he is playing well, very well even.

That being said, he is involved in a sextape scandal were according to all information we have so far, he is very likely to be found guilty of helping his friend ransom Valbuena, and has already been caught lying mutliple times.

that's his personal life, i have no stake in it, and it's not about being supportive or him or not. I just dont want a criminal playing for my team.

He is a player that has disappointed a lot throughout his career, first by his performances, now by his life off the pitch. Frankly, i understand the resentment.

It would be normal for us to keep an eye on the market because if found guilty, you can his ass the next minute and you move on.

I never thought about something until today. How will we fit Luvas Silva, Vallejo, Asensio and Odegaard

I don't think that Lucas will come back. Vallejo will probably take Pepe's place. Odegaard is a few years away from the first team while Asensio, even at the moment, is first team material. Unbelievable player, killing it at Espanyol. We also have Betis' Ceballos, who was Spain u19 best and most important player this summer, better than Vallejo, Asensio and Mayoral. The kid's also a Barca hater.

Lucas Silva is playing very poorly, or at least being very average. Not returning to stay.

Vallejo, will probably be loaned again so he can continue to develop.

Asensio, same thing.

Odegaard will also go on loan.

We dont need to "fit" they are all 2-3 years away

Hala are you still watching Castilla ? If so, how good is Mayoral ? Better than Morata ?

The club has to be patient with these kids. There is no need to buy Laporte or Marquinhos for millions when we have Vallejo.

We don't have Ceballos yet. Club still working on it. None of these will enter into our 1st team picture next year, except possibly Asensio. However even that is a mute point with our current tactics. We simply don't play with AMs in mind. We already have two decent ones and don't play with them as such.

@hala , we have zero chance of getting Greisman. We tried very hard for both Aguero and Falcao, had both players wanting to come and yet there was no way Atleti would sell to us. hell even with Kun, we were prepared to pay the transfer fee, but they were going to declare it hostile and this means a huge tax to be added on to the transfer fee. Bottom line is we can't get anyone directly from Atleti.

@Valk, Mayoral has hardly been with Castilla its only now he has started playing for them. He looks alittle off the pace than the rest. He works alot harder than Morata but if i am going to compare Morata's impact on Castilla with Mayoral i'll say that Morata has been better, but we used to play a 2 man attack then and had better players in pretty much every single position than this season

I'm pretty sure we would've gotten Aguero directly from Atlético had Flo applied the same effort he did with Tottenham for Bale.

Imo it's obvious that this team is not working. 1 La Liga and UCL in last 7 years is laughable. Sell CR and Benzema if he isn't cleared. Lets be honest we're buying a Galactico so it might as well be Pogba. Pogba in Barca would make their MF 3 too damn strong  combined with MSN.
GK - We are set but let's be honest,we're getting De Gea.
DEF - If we don't sell anybody then we're fine. Vallejo is also developing.
MID - Sell Kroos because I think he's just too slow and doesn't bring as much as I expect and want from him. Bring in Pogba..
ATT - Sell CR and Benzema if not cleared of accusations. Buy Dybala and a backup striker.
4-2-3-1 Example(Bale in the hole as CAM,formation with LM and RM):
De Gea
Carvajal-Varane-Ramos-Marcelo
  Modrić - Pogba
James -  Bale -  Isco
           Dybala
A great technical side with great potential for both counters and incredible possession and passing. If it wasn't Flo,we could also stick with Casemiro instead of Pogba. This would be a transitional year. Our team would be free of Ronaldo's reign. Bale would be the main man  but nothing as drastic as Ronaldo,not even close. There would be a lot of freedom and it would be incredible to watch Isco and Dybala dribble past players with ease. Something that we never see because of BBC + James can't dribble for shit.

I'd like a 9, who is actually a 9, like Aubameyang. From what I've seen Dybala is very much like Benzema.

I don't like Pogba, I'd prefer a DM who stays infront on the defense.

how is benzema lacking as a 9? i keep hearing this yet zero explanation to back it up, dont give me no shit reason from 09 or the garbage mou, said,  i swear you guys know nothing about CF, benzema is just as good as a 9 as any, and auba is not better than benzema .

i know a lot of you guys want to keep benz below higs, but regardless of what you think he is a better 9 than that choker ever was fact.

typical madrid fan logic.

I agree with you. Benzema is a proper 9 and not only that, he is one of the best in the world in that position. Definitely top 5.
I said that I want Benzema gone if he isn't cleared of this scandal, Benzema is an amazing player and I'd really like if he's cleared and stays.
@Valk: I also don't like Pogba much but like I said,he's a galactico and we're getting Galacticos,it's Perez. So might as well pick somebody who can somewhat help the defense with his physical presence. This is my ideal lineup for next year:
DDG/Navas
Carvajal-Varane-Laporte-Marcelo
Modric-Krychowiak/Kovacic
James-Bale-Isco
Dybala/Benz
A good CDM would do wonders for this team and this counts on James and Isco tracking back a lot. I know Isco is willing and if James isn't then we can just play Dybala in his place with Benzema uptop. Sucking up to big name players like James,Ronaldo,Bale etc juts doesn't cut it. 1 La Liga title and 1 UCL in last 7 freaking years. Barca even had the transfer ban yet they won  5 titles in 2k15.
What do you think of this lineup? It offers way more balance than the team currently has. The main idea is that the team is bigger than star players. Ronaldo and Ramos are definitely the total opposite of that and selling them both would send a huge message. It'd be a huge risk obviously but Perez has already lost the support. He has to man up . Imo Carv-Varane-Laporte-Marcelo is twice as good defensively than Danilo-Varane-Ramos-Marcelo. We'd have deadly long shots ,tracking back,great counterattacks and a much more technical and good at dribbling team.

the only 2 key players that need to be sold is cr and ramos, that it anything more is overkill/scapegoating other than the likes of arbeloa etc.

Buying Laporte would change nothing in terms of philosophy. We have Vallejo who in 2 seasons will be ready for our team. Personally I'm against selling Ramos because he is one of my favorite players and our symbol. I would also give Jese a chance, he has what it takes imo. Sell BBC and Kroos, whom I dislike for his rather lax attitude. Get a striker, a world class DM and a backup striker. Offload danilo as soon as possible and get 2 backup wingbacks.


This will never happen though.

This is my team for next season

De Gea
Carvajal-Varane-Ramos-marcelo
modric-Marco Llorente-Isco
Asensio-Borja Mayoral-Vasquez

spanish lads, castilla, heart

Probably hacked by Hala

Actually I like it.

i can confirm i hacked nick's account

Na seriously. We dont need starters just back ups. No matter how the seasons turns out there are some players in the squad who will not convince me enough.

Realistically the only guys i'd sell in the summer would be:

One of BBC. Dont care who, Lucas Silva, Coentrao and James if thats possible

I would get Marcos Alonso to back up Marcelo and Morata to back up whoever plays striker. I would only bring Asensio back if i knew i'd play him regularly if not let him stay with Espanyol. No need for major changes. Just need a team that has no untouchables or at most 2

Your boy danilo will start though :sad:

Joa Cancelo, right back / wing from valancia, great in attack and a bit weaker in defence almost same as marcelo, good speed and height for a full back, like marcelo he is very good in attack, soo good that he can play as winger, the other day he caused us havoc.

Hector Bellerin, right back who is barca product, better then cancelo in defence, infact very good, true speedster, can recover much quickly then others and provides width in attack like other fullbacks.

Any chance of us buying any of these two to replace danilo in summer?

Perez has 2 targets for the summer, de Gea and Lewandowski, according to AS.
