Re: Transfer Rumours | Tactics | Who to buy/sell etc
let's not try to replace Marcelo like for like. Just like Ronaldo in his position and Ramos in his you'll never find someone who'll be able to replicate Marcelo. What we need is a solid FB and Reguillon is just that. Let's not act like Reguillon is some Nacho offensively, he and Vinicious forged a great partnership offensively and dare I say we did not really miss Marcelo on the left. If we have a frontline that takes care of creating our chances we wont be so reliant on our FBs to do it. Our defence is just fine. I'd have Militao compete with Varane and take over if he is better because Varane is far too tame to be a RM, got sick of seeing midget forwards bully him game in game out.Mr Nick09 wrote:proper starting left back is missing. Marcelo is finished and for all the nice things Reguillon do he lacks an attacking skillset to make him elite.

Lol @ your opinion on Varane, sure not gonna waste my time arguing that.
Reguillon is a solid fullback, we all like h, but there is a difference between world-class and good. I am not looking for a new Marcelo just making the point that we should sign another fullback to improve.competition on that side, the same way we have it at other positions.

If Marcelo stays I don't see the need for a new LB. Have Marcelo and Reguillon compete. If Marcelo plays the same way fine, let him be Reguillon's back up and mentor. He's not totally finished just needs a reason to try harder. Worse comes to worse we still have the ever reliable Nacho to fill in
I have read very good things about Militao. He's very aggressive apparently. Finally have our Pepe replacement? Ramos-Militao would be great

We have bigger fish to fry. Getting a new LB would be as stupid as getting a new GK
I'd focus the entire budget on the frontline. 2 STs, 1 LW and 1 RW. I'd even let the midfield stay the same if we revamp the whole frontline

According to Marca, the club want ZZ recover the old Isco. Huh, after treating him like shit concocting with that stupid clown and planting stories about him they now remember how precious he is. Idiots
Though I agree I hope ZZ gets the best out of Isco again. He is going to be very important in the new look RM. I literally cannot wait until next season. Would love to see what ZZ has in store for us in terms of personnel

Re: Transfer Rumours | Tactics | Who to buy/sell etc
The point is that Marcelo should leave lol, he has served the club well. Let Reguillon compete with another player. We have players on roster which can easily offset the cost of a new LB: Theo, Marcelo and Achraf. Sell all 3 in my opinion, put a buy back on Achraf, sign a quality left back and that's it for the defense.

Re: Transfer Rumours | Tactics | Who to buy/sell etc
I would argue the Varane part, Hala you have lost your damn mind. Varane is a world class CB and should not be competing with anyone far less for a new signing. Militao is clearly gonna be a Ramos replacement. Eventually. Or in theory anyway, you never really know. About competing with Varane...

Well let's see if Ramos agrees to a contract extension with Madrid. Given his age they would normally offer a 2 years deal. His contract ends in 2020.

Re: Transfer Rumours | Tactics | Who to buy/sell etc
If we sell Marcelo then of course go for another player. I just don't think we should be quick to let go of Marcelo if he's ok with the bench. He's a good mentor for our younger players and it's important to have experienced players on the bench. Pepe had no problem staying on the bench for a whole season and the only reason he was relegated to the bench was because we didn't want to lose Varane. I hope he sticks around and I am sure he will with ZZ aroundMr Nick09 wrote:The point is that Marcelo should leave lol, he has served the club well. Let Reguillon compete with another player.

well I can just hate on him in my little corner then. We usually have an understanding on all issues relating to RM, what happened?Doc wrote:I would argue the Varane part, Hala you have lost your damn mind.

Na, seriously, Varane isn't my type of defender. He can't score headers, can't direct a defensive header onto a teammate despite his height. Is far too weak to outmuscle players, which leads him to lose duels against every forward out there unless it's in a foot race. It's not surprising to me that Ramos was a one man backline and as soon as he was out with suspension we could bullied by Tadic of all fecking players. He is just riddled with mistakes. If Militao is as good as they claim, he'll push Varane aside with ease but like you said he is here to be the long term replacement for Ramos

It takes a great defensive partnership to make up a reliable defense. Put Ramos next to rusty, part-timer Nacho, and I’m sure he’d struggle as well.

Ok so if Reguillon is getting destroyed in a game vs an elite winger, do you take him off to bring Marcelo in? His experience is not enough to justify how unbalanced his game is.
By the way pepe was not happy about being on the bench lol, no starter goes to the bench and becomes happy about it

I miss prime Pepe, man. He’s caused me plenty of frustration over the years, but he was such a refined player towards the end of his career with us. Never thought I’d say this, but I miss his aggression. They don’t make them like him anymore.

Those final 3 years of Pepe were really great. I do miss his defending on occasion.
@Hala
Well, at least you gave your reasons. Not sure if I agree on the out muscle part but Varane ain't competing with anyone. The man is an elite CB and would continue to be one. The issue in that particular match was that not only was Ajax waltzing past our midfield like if we played with children but Nacho has been really poor this season. And of course, the other elephant in the room named Carvajal has been nothing short of a disaster. So any mistake Varane did was gonna be magnified nicely since he was left to the wolves a lot. Also, let's not pretend Captain Commando ain't a reckless little shit who still has issues playing an offside trap but they mesh well if I must say.
Long story short: Nacho is terrible and Ramos is a clown for getting that yellow.

If we can bring in both Jovic and Cavani faith in Perez will be restored

Why Cavani though? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense unless we sell Benzema, and why would we?

Re: Transfer Rumours | Tactics | Who to buy/sell etc
Nick has been saying Jovic isn't a true 9, plays as a SS, and actually that's the same with Mbappe. Having both Cavani and Jovic would give us two scorers up front plus Hazard and / or Isco!!! Benz if he stays in that situation would be the backup.
If this happens to appease Hala, it almost certainly would with Nick as well IMO.
Actually thinking about it, me as well, just new a CM such as Eriksen to revamp MF and allowing both Modric and Kroos to leave.

Re: Transfer Rumours | Tactics | Who to buy/sell etc
But we only have a certain number of positions. If we are playing with 2 strikers, we can't play Hazard, Isco, and Vinicius. We are already having a tough enough time getting Rodrygo in not to mention Asensio and Benz.
Jovic may play like a SS, but so does Benz. The difference is Jovic scores lots of goals. That's what we have been asking of our CF.
If we go with Jovic/Benz up top we can at least somewhat feasibly play with 3 AMs behind. Even that is pretty unbalanced imo. I still think a 4-3-3 is our best/most balanced formation until we get better defenders.

I don’t really disagree Deez, but if Nick is right re Marcelo gone, our defense shouldn’t be an issue anymore especially if Modric and Kroos are also replaced.

That's why I've been saying that you can't expect him to dance around defences, when park the bus and hoof it to Mr. Kardashian is plan A, B and C So, they've completely dropped him now? I suppose that's understandable, but it's going to hurt their results substantially. Lautaro isn't ready yet, and I don't think they'll find a goalscorer as efficient as Mauro anytime in the near future.

Inter didn't dop him. Icardi has refused to train and play for weeks now. Lautaro is a beginner yet has been done well, but he was suspended.

Re: Transfer Rumours | Tactics | Who to buy/sell etc
i never questioned his ability to score goals, but his quality with the ball is dreadful. The quality of his team mates doesnt change that.
Jovic has the goodies but i dont think we can afford the risk at this point. he would be a perfect project behind your main CF who is at least consistent with his goals.
