Better to leave lol.
Definitely the latter. The prospect of jail is not something to trifle with, I would have bail one time too. In any case, they Croatian lawmakers are gonna find the lowest possible punishment to give him as I doubt they'll be giving WC Golden Ball winner Modric hard jail.

I suspect that alot of the players wont get any minutes. Or will only see minutes in the first game. The game against pathetico is just 15 days away and we only have 3 games to play before that game. Not to mention the players who have just joined need to be ready physically too. I suspect we are going to focus on the prospects with the brightest futures. Mainly the midfielders.

Strikers: Benzema, Bale, Lucas Vazquez, Mayoral, De Tomas and Vinicius.
------------
Navas, Ramos and Carvajal are already in US so will join the group there. Only Marcelo, Casemiro, Varane, Kova and Modric left. I need to stop making fun of them but that striker list
remember Nick we had an argument about Vinicius being winger or a forward? Looks like I was right on the money. The club views vinicius as a forward being put in the strikers list. if I were to make a guess on his future. I would say wide forward to be specifc his role here at this club. though he COULD play cf. but i think rodrygo would be more suited for that role.
that list reveals some insight into roles. asensio is a part of the midfield as I suspected. hm... considering lopetegui favoring spanish, how will the lineup and formation look like when the season starts that favors isco and asensio when we have reports that Benz and Bale is our attack...?
Re: 2018 / 2019 season prediction
You are right on the money because someone drafted a list in his office in Madrid and published it online. I guess Lucas Vasquez is a striker too?
Dude lmao
And for the record the conservation was you saying he is a n9 and me telling you had no clue what you were talking about. In a nutshell, still true

Re: 2018 / 2019 season prediction
I don't think it matters too much where players are placed on the list. Both Lucas and Asensio had a mirror role with the team last season but one was called a midfielder while the other was called a forward

Re: 2018 / 2019 season prediction
Vinicius is a forward. forward doesnt necessarily translate into 9. and we cannot fathom what the club plans to do with him. for he has not yet played a single minute for us. for all we knew we could convert him to a different position right now. you say this nick but remember isco was a natural am when he came here. we have since kept him in cm and we did the same with james even though he was inconsistent as cm.
with the speed that vincius has, he must be put on the front out wide where it will be most useful. you speak of a winger in the traditional winger sense. and therein lies the problem: we dont use traditional wingers here. we leave that for marcelo and carjaval pushing up.

Re: 2018 / 2019 season prediction
Lucas Vazquez played for us as a fullback, yet some brighthead in Madrid defines his role as a striker

He played I think 2 times at fullback due to injuries... and it was a disaster, most notably against a Juve.
He's a winger, not a striker, though.

Yes of course, I didn't mean he is a fullback but I meant that he has played the opposite part of the pitch basically. Like you said, he is a winger first and foremost

Re: 2018 / 2019 season prediction
Watched the live training. We are lucky that we managed to retain Pintus. All the players look in tip top shape. Excited for Wednesday, Vinicius looks so serious, guy is trying so hard to impress. I like it, Odegaard seems more integrated than he was all those seasons ago. Wonder if the newcomers will get playing time on Wed, they've been training at the same pace for a couple of days. Well evetyone apart from Ramos who I couldn't see anywhere

Re: 2018 / 2019 season prediction
So even though he told you he wasn't Scandinavian, you still called him one. Unique, you're definitely something
BTW, this is one of the rarest moments I agree with you. The possibility of Bale getting injured and Benzema going on a goal-drought rampage is likely to happen. It happened before countless times, and there are no positive signs suggesting otherwise.
This is why I strongly feel we should get a reliable number 9. oh well...

Re: 2018 / 2019 season prediction
whats going on in this thread..?
Vasquez is a literal utility guy there is no role defined for him. a literal jack of all trades master of none. he's more or less deployed on the wing just for his work-rate and nothing else.
in any case the one I'm paying most attention to right now is Vinicius as I think depending on his performance will decide whether or not we sign a new forward.
the utter lack of movement from the club in the market... are we waiting to see what vinicius can contribute before making a final decision? Higuain was originally a Winger before; he was a forward. so any nonsense on him not being able to play CF is ridiculous. Vinicius will be converted like Higuain to whichever role based on his strengths and suits our system best be it WF or CF.
that is the future I see for him. I hope he does well as personally I think his future is WF as thats where the trend is heading.

Re: 2018 / 2019 season prediction
Saw a bit of today's training, two teams played against each other one was
Lunin
Odriozola Vallejo ? Theo
Ceballos Llorente Valverde
Bale Benzema Vinicius Jr.
Something like that, maybe we're going to see that as our starting lineup tomorrow.
Other team was
Casilla
Carvajal Nacho ? ?
Isco Kroos Asensio
Lucas De Tomas Mayoral
i think
Lunin
Odriozola Vallejo ? Theo
Ceballos Llorente Valverde
Bale Benzema Vinicius Jr.

Re: 2018 / 2019 season prediction
There were reports some days ago that lopetegui was training the BBV together so I suspected we're gearing for a 433. I see that has continued today. good. I hope Vinicius develops well into the WF role. because when Marcelo is available, Vinicius needs to just focus on attacking cutting inside. his dribbling and speed will be an asset in attack. the finishing can be learned with time. He showed great desire in training. I hope he explodes as we needed more speed and in particular dribbling on the flanks.
Re: 2018 / 2019 season prediction
Saw the training session from this morning. In the game, they practiced pressing from the front. Lot's of one touch passing.
@TMO, that's what I could make out too. Odegaard played with both as an outlet in heavy press.

Re: 2018 / 2019 season prediction
I want goals. I want to be convinced that we will be fine without a striker. I think the Super Copa will tell us alot on where we are and how urgently we need certain players. They are like the best team you could play to measure how ready you are. We do well there and I can definitely get excited
Against United I am mainly looking at the formation, the B players and the attackers. Those have been massive question marks for me over the last season. Last season we started preseason not being able to score and we started the season in the same vain. Hopefully this time it's a reverse
