Last season it was varane, this season casimero and both have been great and brought a winners mentality to the team, if we were to carry on this trend then who would you want it be this summer in the same bracketsas varane and casimero?

Id take Benzema for a season. Although he is mid 30's

Toni Kroos.

Add him to Eriksen and Varane as players who should have been here a decade ago.

Let's get Modric. Reunite him with Casemiro for a season

Kroos would be a good pick-up for the right price. Modric is probably a bit too old now and clearly wants to retire at Madrid anyway.

Hasn’t Kroos actually been hinting that this is his last season at Madrid? Not sure if that’s a retirement thing or end of time at the club, but hey… he’d be good to rotate around in midfield

Kroos would be a cracking signing.

Benzema would be RVP 2.0. I seriously doubt it would happen but he would be immense and it would put to bed any threat of Kane coming.

:lol: We hardly got Varane or Case for free.
I believe we will pass this summer as far as RM players are concerned. Don’t see anyone you wouldn’t mind leaving and we would be interested in.

I'm afraid you're out of options.
Kroos and Modric seem certain to retire here and Karim probably too, although I can imagine him going to the Middle East for a while.
Obviously Hazard would be orgasmic as a madridista, or a good contract for Asensio so he doesn't renew.
I wouldn't mind Rüdiger either. If you go in Qatari mode with big money, even Alaba.

Kroos would be a great signing but seems unlikely.

Kroos is 33, Benzema is 35 and yet Harry Kane is too old at 29 :confused:

I think with Kroos or Benzema you’d be bringing them in for one or two seasons and accounting for them not playing every game. You’d hope the fee and wages would reflect that. They’d also bring mentality and experience for the younger players. You can see the difference Casemiro has made.

Kane would be coming in as the expected first name on the team sheet, to play all games, with a hefty price tag and wages attached. So it’s not a question of if he’s too old to play, it’s is he too old to plan a team around for the next 5 years.

Sorry, Kane in 5 years is younger than Benzema is now, that makes no sense and TBH Kroos, IMO, isn't going anywhere to be a pt/squad player

We derail Barca's season for you and this is the thanks we get?
we gave you Casemito. You should just hand us half your clubs shares, nevermind taking other players

"Martial...He's isolated Skrtel here..."

Benzema would be on a free, as would Kroos. Is Harry Kane coming on a free? Of course not, he's going to cost 100m

Anyways Kroos is either retiring or staying at Madrid, he's already said it. Benzema would be a masterstroke if we paired him with another younger striker signing to understudy him for a couple years (Sesko maybe?).

I think Benzema is well and truly past it - or will be very soon.

Would love to get Militao but would settle for Nacho

You didn't give him to us, we paid you a large wedge of money for him!
