Aurelien Tchouameni

Bring him back
Nope, there's been rumours of attitude problems with him and he's aparently been benched by Arbeloa because of that.

In the 11th minute, Ferland Mendy was taken off injured, with Fran Garcia coming on to replace him. Spanish TV cameras caught Alvaro Carreras laughing in reaction. That Carreras was again overlooked (he has been an unused substitute in three of Madrid’s past four matches) has stimulated debate among supporters.
The €50million (£43.2m; $58.5m) summer signing from Benfica (who Madrid let go for free to Manchester United in 2020), has seen his playing time reduced since Arbeloa replaced Xabi Alonso in January, and there has also been tension between Carreras and Arbeloa in recent weeks.
Sources among Madrid’s coaching staff have complained about the 23-year-old’s attitude and professionalism. Those close to the player reject the criticisms.
 
Apparently knocked Valverde to the ground with a single punch. That’s the kind of player I want! Strong and combative. Sign him up!
 
Do you genuinely believe that or just saying it because of this training ground incident with Valverde
Before this Valverde stuff I was probably only 20% confident, now I'm probably up to 60%.
 
A flying head butt has put Valverde in hospital
 
Seriously though, Valverde must rank higher, so a sale of Tchouameni could actually happen right? My muppet sense is tingling.
 


Problem is now he is getting a ban.

What will the ban be? Will he banned for a certain length of time or a certain number of club games?

Why would he get a ban, it's an internal Madrid matter. Rudiger slapped a member of staff nothing happened. Valverde v Tchouameni round 1, nothing happen via the club. So valverde v Tchouameni round 2, why would anything happen now?
 
The only players above 200k a week are Casemiro, Rashford and Bruno. Next highest is de ligt on 195k a week.

200k is the new limit set by INEOS, I think an exception was made for Bruno for his new deal, because we couldn't afford to lose him.
If we have a wage cap of 200k, that means that we are the new Tottenham. They had a similar cap with Harry Kane earning 200k, if I recall correctly.

The ceiling of that approach is top 5 in the league, nothing more. Of course you have to be able to offer high wages to attract the best players. We gave them to mediocre players, and that is what ruined us. Ineos do look cautious, but I hope not too cautious and stingy.

As far as Tchouameni, in this current market, he's worth at least 250k per week.

Anderson will be on something like that at City(250-300k, at least officially, not counting anything under the table).
 
According to this report Valverde kept at it, despite other players asking him to stop. Eventually Tchouameni dropped him:

Again, such a limit will take us nowhere. Those are Daniel Levy numbers, and we will absolutely not win the league or CL with a 200k salary cap.

For a punch? Was it an official La Liga game or something?
John Hartson got a ban for an infamous training ground incident in 1999.

So the Spanish FA could ban him?

Antagonise him tchouameni times and that's what happens.

Arbeloa with the “learn to sit back and observe, not everything needs a reaction” approach
 
Tchouameni at a cut price + 2 more mids this summer for us
 
Tchoui is sounding better and better every time i hear about him, the French Roy Keane is exactly what we need.
 
We said to him, come here and if Onana and Rashford try to come back into the dressing room, you can knock them the feck out. While your at it, you can knockout Ugarte as well.
