I said age isn't a factor for Navas. He's only 31. Keepers don't age like field players. 33-34 is when you need to worry; unless you start seeing signs of regression earlier which you don't with Navas.

But Courtois is an upgrade and he only has 1 year left on contract so Chelsea will sell. It's a good move.

Keeper isn't an area of need.

Cavani for me is still more dangerous than Kane.

Neymay and Mbappe look like a lost cause, and Lewa is too old to be spending crazy money on.

Cavani would be great for Madrid

by NeganIsco Tue Jul 17, 2018 4:55 am

Crazy thought, but can Di Maria and Higuain return back now that CR7 is gone?

They would help immensely

by Mr Nick09 Tue Jul 17, 2018 5:05 am

you guys need to prepare for the idea that we wont make a big signing. I hardly imagine us paying 200 mil for Hazard, unless he pushes and submits a transfer request, but he needs to hurry because chelsea wont sell last minute and be stuck unable to sign anyone.

anyway, except for the CF,the squad is still very strong

by sportsczy Tue Jul 17, 2018 5:11 am

Absolutely not to Di Maria and Higuain.

by sportsczy Tue Jul 17, 2018 5:12 am

We'll just wait for Mbappe next summer because he hinted prior to the WC that he owed PSG one more season and then he'll access after that...

by Mr Nick09 Tue Jul 17, 2018 5:21 am

Not signing a number 9 would really piss me off though, that's the one thing that's unacceptable. to imagine that we can go into aseason relying on Benzema up top, or even as a back up. But i preach what i say, i am relaxed about it, we will see what the club ends up doing.

As far as the EPL window closing early, It's not the place to make signings anyway. we will pick up Courtois most likely, see what chelsea says about Hazard, and if we need signings, there are players elsewhere.

No it easn’t you Sports, they asked why the GK change, I said age and they replied Courtois was 29! Turns out an outright lie!

Marca saying that Madrid are looking into sending Theo away either on loan or transfer with a buyback. We probably signed the wrong Hernandez brother but Theo ha talent he just needs to clean his twchnique

by The Madrid One Tue Jul 17, 2018 6:33 am

I think he's too stiff and not good enough with the ball to ever be a Madrid starter, maybe a decent backup but if we let him go then it means Lopetegui doesn't even really trust him for that atm.

by sportsczy Tue Jul 17, 2018 6:47 am

Theo needs to aim for something when he crosses....

by Mr Nick09 Tue Jul 17, 2018 6:59 am

So what's the market like out there for left back?

The most decent players on the market are grossly overpriced or not in our plans. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we went into the season exactly like we look like now. I wouldn't have a problem with that if we didn't have such a shite striker

It's okay. Apparently the key to solving our problems is "deep breathing". So let's do that and I'm sure a WC striker will magically appear out of thin air.

You talk as if your posts actually affect the outcome, lol.

by VanDeezNuts Tue Jul 17, 2018 7:06 am

I hope Theo stays, he has all the tools, I just think his problem was nerves. He plays so anxiously with us. Another year gaining confidence here, I think could resolve the issue.

by halamadrid2 Tue Jul 17, 2018 8:00 am

I have no idea what the club is actually doing. Are they planning on playing 30yo Marcelo every single game crossing their fingers that he won't get injured :facepalm:

Oh well, I'll just have to wait to see my RM with barely enough starters to make an XI trot out against Atleti in the Super Cup

Oh and Bill who said Courtois was 29yo. I think we all know we are getting him because of his age. Hazard is the one who turns 28. I think you've gotten the two mixed up

by Freeza Tue Jul 17, 2018 8:04 am

Can't wait to see Navas replaced.

Too bad Bale is staying.

Still more hyped for this season than a season since 2009 probably.

by Mr Nick09 Tue Jul 17, 2018 8:05 am

Courtois is 26 hazard is 27 calma

@hala, if Theo leaves we can probably sign another LB. Why do you panic so much lol

by Valkyrja Tue Jul 17, 2018 9:52 am

We should have replaced Theo actually, not Achraf.

by Mr Nick09 Tue Jul 17, 2018 9:56 am

Courtois is done dealio apparently

by futbol_bill Tue Jul 17, 2018 10:14 am

So let’s assume for the moment, the other part of the story (150M offer for Hazard), is true or somewhat correct, does Chelsea take it, given it may be the best they get plus have time to get their replacement??

And on the other side, does Flo now put out an offer to Cavani or Lewandowski?

I see a lineup of

Lewandowski or Cavani
Hazard. Isco.
Kroos. Casemiro Modric

Would mean Bale out, plus likely another CF signing aka Rodrigo and then Benz out (free to join Juve?)

And watch the Bale sale pay for Hazard.

by Mr Nick09 Tue Jul 17, 2018 10:16 am

Bale is not going anywhere. Would be stupid to let him go at this point. Even if you sign hazard and a CF you don't sell Bale

by sportsczy Tue Jul 17, 2018 11:07 am

So Neymar has also committed to staying with PSG this season too...

Mbappe and Neymar are off the table. 250 mil for Hazard... likely Courtois is going to be our big signing.

I would really really really make a move for Cavani.

by The Madrid One Tue Jul 17, 2018 11:07 am

Some guy on twitter took a picture with Courtois as he was apparently in the airport in the gate heading to Madrid.

When were they ever on the table, sports? Laughing

You of al people should know getting them from PSG is mission impossible. I don't even know why some people believed at some point it was doable.

I'm just praying for a WC cf at this point. I can't accept tge idea of going into the season woth Benzema as our starting number 9. I just can't.

by The Madrid One Tue Jul 17, 2018 1:25 pm

Are RMC reliable with their news?

Regarding James, Jose Felix Diaz still says we are interested in James, Fermin De La Calle in El Confidencial says Perez is not.
