Shouldn't have gone back.. he left at the perfect moment
Speaking of whom, I wonder if the petulant one will be heading to Madrid now? I'd hate to lose Pogba but with Raiola in charge, it could well happen though Woodward would dig his heels in. But now things have changed at United and Ole has said he would build a team around Pogba. Maybe that will induce him to stay but, if memory serves, it was always Raiola's plan to move on to Spain after England.If he’ll go, he’ll go for Neymar money at the very least.
I’m sure that he will, but I would imagine it to be more like the Zidane’s own transfer, closer to 28-30 after achieving success at United. Call be naive but I believe that it’ll be important for him to give his all and try to achieve our real return to the top level as our biggest star before moving away.Maybe that will induce him to stay but, if memory serves, it was always Raiola's plan to move on to Spain after England.
Yeah with the amount of money they earned from their contracts I would not call them poorPoor Jose. No one wants him.
Rodriguez has an option to buy of €42M, which Bayern will likely activate.Rodriguez is out of contract in 2020 and it will hard to shift bale for a decent fee given his wages.
Isco used to play in the vast majority of games under Zidane before so I'm not sure he would move him on?
No doubt Madrid will splurge but I'm not sure they will be able to have another figo/Zidane summer smashing records etc
Are psg in ffp trouble or not... Seems to be a lot of stories about mbappe and neymar?Neymar to Real
Hazard to PSG
Too soon"Abort the announced landing"? What is Mourinho, a Boeing 747?
Doesn’t Madrid also have a general guideline to not sign anyone over 25? I don’t think any of the current key players were signed at an older age than 25 or very close to it. Even Courtois was 25.I’m not sure about that. With Chelsea’s transfer ban they may just double down and keep him to whatever is left of his contract
Only 400m?Does Floren have the necessary 400 million to rebuild the squad into another 2016-17 machine?
Probably love for the club but it's a very fickle place. I imagine they've promised him a warchest. Too many players are past their peak.I wonder what made Zidane agree to returning to Real. He left there on a huge high.
Probably a lot of assurances about signing and restructuring of the club and feck tonne of cash.I wonder what made Zidane agree to returning to Real. He left there on a huge high.
The departure of Odegaard seems now more feasible, unless Zidane decides to give him a try in preseason.Rodriguez has an option to buy of €42M, which Bayern will likely activate.
Odegaard is linked with a €20M move to Ajax.
They can sell Mariano and Bale too which, along with wages would give them over 100M to spend.
I could actually see Real try and do a Bale+cash for Eriksen swap. Can't see Bale taking a pay cut but with Spurs moving to a new stadium and the fans being on Levy's back a bit for lack of signings last summer, a 'welcome home' to one of their most notable former players might be tempting - and see the flak he gets for Eriksen leaving reduced.
Who do you think will leave this summer mate?The departure of Odegaard seems now more feasible, unless Zidane decides to give him a try in preseason.
Ceballos could also be among them, who did not seem very happy with Zidane and said it in an interview when things were going well.
The Eriksen/Bale sounds great, but seeing the tone of Barnett I do not know if he honestly still expects a bigger club
Assuming he doesn't spend 250 on Mbappé alone!!Only 400m?
Heard that before, in Jan 2016.He won't last longer than next January.
Funny how Guardiola is criticised for only picking up supposedly safe jobs, but Zidane is stupid for taking on a challenging rebuild.This seems like a bad decision. Surely, he can only go downwards from what he achieved the first time around?
Great post.Funny how Guardiola is criticised for only picking up supposedly safe jobs, but Zidane is stupid for taking on a challenging rebuild.
Honestly, wherever Zidane goes, he can only go downwards from 3xCL. Being afraid to tarnish a legacy is such a loser's mentality.
Who is past their peak? Modric, Ramos and Benzema are as good as ever.Probably love for the club but it's a very fickle place. I imagine they've promised him a warchest. Too many players are past their peak.
It's hard to say now Maxi. We do not know to what extent Zidane has freedom or exactly what he wants.Who do you think will leave this summer mate?
