Re: Preseason discussion
Zidane was an absolute Asshole for making that comment about Bale.

Not really, the douchebag was told that we don't need him more than 3 months ago, but his agent kept saying that the weather is nice and perfect for golf and that his client Gareth will happily see out his contract
he can fck off for all we care, we gave lots of value to a shit footballer and he repays us by doing these shitty schemes, gtfo and don't let the door hit you on your way out, Sale

Re: Preseason discussion
I keep reading how Bale was a professional and how he contributed so much to our trophies in past several years! Come on, the guy didn’t integrate with team mates nor Spain in general and although he has been a good player and has scored some important goals, he has been a no show for the vast majority of his time here. You can’t blame him for wanting the salary in his contract, but if he is such a player, hot commodity as it seems most of UK think, why isn’t he getting offers from them?
This board has been extremely critical of Flo in last few years, yet he has the club in probably the best financial shape it has ever been, new stadium renovations under way (and already included in club finances plus an abundance of funds to be added to club finances once new stadium sponsorship is done), club revamping almost done, just missing 2 players (Pogba this year and hopefully Mbappe next year). Seems to me Flo gets no credit at all for the phenomenal job he does with club’s finances! (But I’ll acknowledge he did screw up last season).
There are 2 basic problems with getting those players. One is the capital budget for acquisitions. Club has 100M set aside for this and hopes to make up the rest needed in player sales. They could also borrow the additional funds to make up the difference, as Barca have done or even Flo when he bought Ronaldo, Kaka, etc. however first choice is not to do that. Btw, the funds from future sponsorship will be source of of capital funds needed for Mbappe! Bale remaining is the biggest hindrance for that incoming capital needed for Pogba, but it should be acknowledged that it’s probably low or no transfer price or an ongoing salary commitment.
Second is salary. The so called salary ladder. Bale’s salary with him remaining is the problem here. I don’t believe Flo will have a problem making Pogba (and next season Mbappe) at top of ladder as long as it isn’t out of proportion to Hazard, Ramos, etc.
So despite all the nice things Flo supposedly had to say to Bale, club needed to push the matter as Zidane literally had to do, and btw he also literally did same with James and Mariano.

How? It is just an honest depiction of the situation. The question was along the lines of- why didn't Bale play? What is ZZ supposed to say about that? The only answer is the fact that Bale isn't playing because the club are working toward his departure.
I honestly don't see how he could have responded any other way without either 1) lying, or 2) ignoring the question- which is useless because we have more preseason matches and the question will continue to come up until addressed.

Re: Preseason discussion
Now it has come to light (or at least so says the club) that it's Bale's agent that requested that we don't play him.
The one bit of comment which was harsh from Zidane is when he said "if he can leave tomorrow, better" that's a bit strong but I'm fine with the rest. As I said it seems to me he made some comments out of frustration but we still have time to round up the squad

To me, "if he can leave tomorrow" is more along the lines that it's in the best interest of all involved for the transfer to be settled as quickly as possible

Re: Preseason discussion
Keylor Navas; Carvajal, Nacho, Ramos, Mendy; Kroos, Modric, Lucas Vázquez, Hazard; Jovic y Benzema
We are playing a 442. Hopefully Mendy has shaken off his nerves and performs better than hr did against Bayern
Lucas is here to stay

Lucas is the worst player who's ever played consistently for this club.
I have no idea what Zidane's deal is with that idiot

Lucas Vasquez always plays at 100%, he is not the best, but effort is always at max with him. Zidane likes him, he has been serviceable

Re: Preseason discussion
Out of Bale, Lucas and Asensio I'd keep Lucas, no questions asked. Now the RW is definitely a spot requiring an uppgrade
I find it interesting that Odri is not starting the second game in a row. ZZ probably busy scouting a frenchie so that he can freeze Odri and demand we pay 100M for a back up RB
Anyways, I am a fan of a 442 formation lets hope they perform well out there

Out of those 3 I'd keep Bale, because I know he won't play

Nacho is so fucking bad...
I can't believe we're playing him...
Rather play some blind Castilla chump from last game

Welp. That was all the fun we'd get from this game.
I'm so done with these Castilla bums getting preferential treatment
They always give 100% though (:

Re: Preseason discussion
Confident Zidane is sabotaging the preseason to get Pogba.
This is negligence. That whole right side with Vazquez, Nacho and Carvajal is the stuff og nightmares.

Re: Preseason discussion
You can't play with two CFs down to 10 men... but i would have taken off Benzema to give Jovic a run.
However, i think ZZ wants Benzema to get fit first. Jovic seems like he'll start the season on the bench.

Nacho should be forced to refund the Madrid fans who showed up for their tickets.

Sokratis. Absolutely terrible player
What is he thinking. He absolutely murdered Modric on purpose while he was on a yellow
