Tbf we could do the same, we have the income to spend £250m in a summer, but we don't spend because we still somehow have a £500m debt to pay and because 'there's no value in the market'. So our transfer strategy now seems to be let's look at the Championship and sign some players and hope they all turn into the next Robertson.

Looks like the Job Centre in Liverpool.
Ehm, Modric?
Doesnt he want to leave? Was putting this as a lineup for current until a couple of years down the line.
I agree that's one of the main question marks over the reboot, at least as it stands. On the other hand, the transfer summer has only just begun. Other possible issues I see are general compactness & LW protection, and the midfield.
Hate them but have to admit they know how a top club should be run.

They've had an absurd CL streak that defies logic, cup team. They've won 2 league titles in the past 10 years.
Only half the stadium full for the presentation and the fans chanting they want Mbappe."we want Mbappé","Hazard ballon d'or"
A genius said totally convinced "with Zidane Hazard will be in the starting line up,for sure"

It was very difficult to fill it(although I expected a bit more).Only half the stadium full for the presentation and the fans chanting they want Mbappe.
Welcome to Madrid
I think Mbappe would fill the Bernabeu, you're going to have to wait a couple of years for that though
I have to disagree my friend.
Yeah what the feck is that about? They ain't done anything yet.
Until those players perform on the pitch there hasn't been a successful rebuild. Hazard could ba a success or have a kaka type situation, these things happen.
The man sure knows how to adapt to modern conditions. He got in and learned from the failures of 'Project Galactico 1.0'. He knows how to speak and deal with people but also has a very ruthless streak in him which is a necessity too run the biggest entity in world football.
They don't go towards the turnover. They go towards profit after amortization and depreciation
Good luck with that, although tbf you're not as shit as us at running a football club as we are so you may well do.
There's 10 players to sell this summer and the likes of Isco and James will be sold for 50+ million Euros. The club has money to burn.
Ah, thanks.
Let's see. Which were not the big areas of struggle for Madrid's season? Left-back, you'd have to say would be a decent shout for this, given how Reguilon went. So, there's been 50 Mn or so spunked out on a left-back who isn't the most proven or experienced at the topmost level. There's also Achraf to come back and he's quite decent, so I'm a bit bemused. Militao? He won't be starting the season as first-choice ahead of the club captain or the WC-winning Varane. Rodrygo isn't even close to ready yet, so let's not go there. Next is Jovic, who'll be competing with Benzema (after his good season and he's a Zidane favourite). Oh and Jovic is not an Mbappe. He's raw and has miles to go yet. That's now left us Hazard.
Yeah. Visible. Like I said, I don't feel too optimistic about Real overhauling Barca or challenging them this season. I'd love Real to win ahead of Barca, but I don't see how 4/5 of these will be clear upgrades in areas of major weakness. Would have much preferred starting with midfield and right-wing, but what do I know? If Ed had been spending 300+ Mn on one starter, one minor upgrade and 3 players that will strengthen the bench in a season that was such a disaster, most would have been baying for blood. Flo has spent a bucket-load, but frankly, I don't see how this has been the smartest spree.
