Who is past their peak? Modric, Ramos and Benzema are as good as ever.

Okay. Yeah James is a cert to be sold and Bale too. I just hope we don't go for Bale under any circumstances. He's done for me imo.It's hard to say now Maxi. We do not know to what extent Zidane has freedom or exactly what he wants.
Now Marcelo and Isco are supposed to stay, but Marcelo and Isco are priority for him as Benzema ?. Right now I think Bale and James are the only ones sure.
In many ways he has done well. He has stepped away. People have seen how bad they have been as he appears to have predicted without the money being pumped back in. Now he is back to save the day, this time more than likely with the money for the players he wants.Not sure he's made the correct decision. The squad has regressed and Ronaldo has left. Then again, Real are probably going to spend big again now.
feck my life.Hazard to Madrid looking more likely than ever then.

Chelsea got the raw end of the stick on this dealfeck my life.
I think Hazard is almost a certainty.Neymar and/or Hazard?
They clearly are... Modric and Ramos aren't any worse than they've been in the past 3 years. Benzema is probably having his best season in the past 3 years.
And a sh!t load of cash in his bank.He must’ve gotten some serious guarantees from Perez regarding the future rebuild of the team. Interesting.
Hopefully raids the PL. Hazard and Salah for starters.
Indeed. I wasn't worried about Hazard's seemingly unrequited love, until now.Chelsea got the raw end of the stick on this deal
Well I never said he was stupid for doing it, but yes, fair enough.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.
As per his agent & Marcelo, Cristiano had planned to leave long before even the CL final had been played. Talks about a possible transfer to Juve started as early as after the 1st leg of the CL QF clash with them. His exit was to do with Perez and he’d likely never return even if there was a way if Perez is still at the club.Could it lead to Ronaldo returning to Madrid ? It's worth remembering that Cristiano only announced his desire to leave after Zidane had left.
If he gets his wish of two of Hazard, Salah and Neymar or any lofty conditions on which his return is predicated, then he's not exactly going for a Burnley option, something that pep constantly gets chastised for not doing.I'm impressed. Unlike Guardiola, he isn't taking the easy route. Good for him.
That's about 1 billion spent in 1 summer!Wildest dreams
Courtois
Carvajal-Ramos-DeLigt-Reguilon
Casemiro
Isco-Modric
Salah-Kane-Hazard
Two out of Hazard, Eriksen, Neymar and Salah IMO. Probably in that order.Neymar and/or Hazard?

And add another pearl from Ajax.That's about 1 billion spent in 1 summer!
Chelsea has been banned to get players until summer 2020. But I think Hazard will go to Madrid, it will be interesting to see for how much considering he just haves 1 year left but Chelsea won't want to get rid since they can't but a replacement.Guessing he returned cos hes been promised Hazard. Will defo be harder this time given theres no Ronaldo, and a few of their players are much older. Their squad isnt as rounded either as it was for his second season.
Can see a bale / hazard swap, but at same time dont think Bale will want to go to Chelsea unless they have CL football.
Unless Pulisic counts as the replacement...Chelsea has been banned to get players until summer 2020. But I think Hazard will go to Madrid, it will be interesting to see for how much considering he just haves 1 year left but Chelsea won't want to get rid since they can't but a replacement.
As a Barcelona fan, would you really want to see that?Wildest dreams
Courtois

That's the plan. Weaken Chelsea, the Spurs and Pool, while Neymar and Mbappé stay at PSG or go elsewhere but not Madrid.As a Barcelona fan, would you really want to see that?
(Not sure that front 3 would work great together, so maybe you're just wanting to weaken the PL rivals moreso than strengthen Real I see you!)
David Beckham was 28 I thinkDoesn’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.
Hazard is 28.
Edit: I just looked it up. Modric is the only outfield player who was signed when he was older, at 26 years old.
Rich Jose. No one wants him.Yeah with the amount of money they earned from their contracts I would not call them poor
He’ll be miserable as feck when he hears the newsAlso...
Pochettino
Because Perez didn't want to buy new players but now he's okayWhy did he even leave?
