tax issues was about 90% of our he left,people should read more about the taxing issues of rather than the he went to prove himseft in other league nonesense,even the man said he nothing to prove in his press conference

Could be, I can't be sure.

But he's gone now, and the board should do something about that forward line and not expect their a**lickers to go around deflecting issues.

Because no amount of deflection or excuses will save them if we end the season trophyless and/or not get to the UCL SF.

Basically every of our rival in Europe is substantially better this year than last year. A good backup GK and RB is insufficient for our title campaign. They're good but not enough. We won the 3peat; we should be looking to extend the dominance not concede in such a disparate manner.

bros Ronaldo left because of tax issues,its only in nairaland where a lot of ignorant people believe "he went to prove himseft" nonesense

I think he left for multiple reasons.

When did i say if you don't like my choice you are dumb?
When i say Salah was better than Bale i was referring to last season. If you don't want me to quote you go and create a CR7 Fan Thread or better still go to Juventus Thread.Like I said i won't engage you in name calling that's not my way.

Until now you haven't answered my question. What will i regret?

Can you read?

Really can you? Because everything you type something new it astounds me that you can't comprehend whatever it is you're replying.

Now read that sentence again and explain how it means that I specifically said "if you don't like my choice you are dumb" was the exact statement you made. Do you have an idea of what inference means? Is it a foreign concept for you.

"What will I regret?" You're already regretting it, you're just too out of your depth to realize it.

winning 3c champions league in a role has made our board complacent and arrogant, Perez has also earned a lot of goodwill and fanatic cultfollowing from our fans hence he us comfortable in his failure to build our squad this season, making our brightest hope off the bench a 17 from Brazil, like every great teams and great club you are not immune to a fall,Perez should beware I still remember the last time he was booted out,nuff said.

Personally, I understand why he'd feel complacent and arrogant. It's pretty normal. Essentially, our first 11 comprises the best or top 3 best in every position in the world. But what irks me is that some are making it seem like Perez can do no wrong. He's infallible. He makes a st*pid decision and they go like, yea well he won a 3 peat. But we also were 17 points behind Barca and lost out of the CdR for 3 consecutive years.

The team is strong, amazing, but anything but perfect. And we should be looking to improve it, ALWAYS. Especially since we're losing integral pieces step by step and cracks are showing.

But no, every CR7 fan who's still a Madrid fan should be purged. That's their immediate concern.

usbcable:
The ATM debacle should and I believe has made him (Perez) realise his folly.
If we had won he would have sold off Modric too, believing that the young lads in the team will be up to the coming task.

Courtouis coming too is good. Although I feel for Navas but at least we have two solid goal keepers.

CR, Modric are special players that are hard to replace. How do you replace over 10 years of experience and success?

I hope Lope is able to pull it off like Zidane.

Hala Madrid

If I hear. Perez is stubborn.

I seriously feel for Lope. Hope he comes through, because if he doesn't, he's the first one out. Along with the veterans. And it really wouldn't be because he's a terrible coach, but because IMO he's been set up to fail.

Rajmeista:
'F' words flying around this thread like never before even from the person I always respect his opinions. It's normal to disagree, and times like this will always make Madridstas to be at loggerheads. This is an online platform which can be easily assessed by anyone even much more later, hence do not make comments you see in the next couple of years and start wondering if you were actually the one that posted such.

The reality is that the GOAT is no longer at RM, and I will always respect his decision to leave. Just like most workplaces, you will surely come to disputes with management. Therefore, I largely believe his exit at RM is due his ambition is to make his mark in more places which is a core attribute of a Legend. I belonged to the Messi camp before he came to RM, but now I acknowledge him as the GOAT and can't wait to see him in action in Juve. However, I remain a MADRIDSTA no matter what.

Hala Madrid, Y Nada Mas.

According to the fellows I'm replying, you're not a TRUE MADRIDISTA (WTF that means). You should port to Juve and let them have their "lord and savior" run the club down.

Sorry you had to read all of that, but if I don't go ballistic, it'd be a recurrent feature here. Every time someone would want to point something out they'd bring that up to deflect from the issue.

They should have it at the back of their minds that there's only so far they can be unreasonable before it pours.

-Lord

monerozi5590:
As for the insults and name calling i will let it pass because i don't do that shit.

Oh you should have done it. Because it appears when folks try to be civil some see it as cue to become disturbingly unreasonable.

I'm a CR7 fan. I've been a Madrid fan long before I knew you existed somewhere on the planet. Both are not mutually exclusive, and I wouldn't apologize for being either.

So yea, I expect this to come up again; and when it does I'd be anything but couth. I'm willing to hear differing opinion but I wouldn't take trash from a fellow who implored on the community here to "stop deceiving itself and accept that Messi is better than CR7" effectively telling everyone if you don't like my choice you're d*mb. Same person said Salah is better than Bale days before Bale won us the UCL. And then his outspoken second who thought it was a good idea to keep CR7 against his will at the club.

Now these shady characters have the nerve to come at me because I dare still be a fan of CR7 when he's no longer at Madrid. And believe every other Madridista and Socio around the globe subscribes to their asinine train of thought. F*cking unbelievable!

And then they wonder why they continue to remain at the fringes of the club's base.

-Lord

monerozi5590:
Who are you warning?.. What will i regret?..What is my business with CR7 fan that i will take a shot at.

Speak for yourself if you are not a true Madridista don't tag all of us.

It's either you are pathologically incapable of comprehension or you're just unadvisedly looking for whooping.

Madridistas and Madridismos are technically different. You are not a Socio. Socios run the club. Socios have club DNA.

But you aren't familiar with this concept since ignorance is your forte.

What's your business with CR7 fans and you were quoting me. Nonsense!

Yonce:
And fans that shìt unapologetically on their players.

Till today Ronaldo has a special place in some hardcore united fans. . .but here the story is 180°

Trust me it's just some bitter wanna-be-more-catholic-than-the-pope "fans" doing all that disgusting behavior. The oldies on this thread, MM, many other RM groups, and even amongst card-carrying Socios who have infinitely more say than the rest of us don't sh*t on Ronaldo.

There's a reason Perez is trying hard to keep Modric, even tho' on a normal transfer window, he'd prolly sh*p him off, because let's face it now is the best time to cash out on him. There wouldn't be a better offer. And Modric is easier to replace than CR7 or Zidane. And he could have used that as a ploy to keep Kovacic. He is putting in the grunt work because he doesn't want to deal with the blow back.

I'd say this again, these folks that are placing Perez, the board, and Lope above reproach will drop any of them like hot potatoes when things go awry. Later they'd accuse the entire community of hive mentality when they couldn't be sensible to save their lives.

-Lord

usbcable:
In was perplexed when he said I should not wish Real Madrid bad luck.
I was like where did that come from

We had a strong bench when we won the 11th but from then its been depleted year on year with no appreciable replacement.

Pepe left
James left
Morata left
Kovacic left
The dude in Lyon left too

The only sensible buy so far is Odriozola to compete with Carvajal that has started to deprecate with performance.

What actually bugs me are the characters making these lofty accusations. Like WTF!

It doesn't surprise me one bit that they'd somehow be so intellectually deficient that they wouldn't be able to understand that it is okay to be a fan of a player who isn't with the club. Like many here like Neymar and would want to have him here, but it doesn't mean that same people will cheer PSG over Real Madrid.

Then there's the factor that CR7 is not just a player, but a brand. That brand is bigger than RM on social media. How then is it inconceivable that within his fan base, there'd be those who like him more than any team he plays for; as well as those who like him for the player he is and still have credible, unwavering connections with specific clubs (that he may or may not have played for).

I'm so waiting for them to make this about CR7 again and not the obvious issues that need resolving. Deflection at its finest. I'm sure they weren't at the club when CR7 complained about loosing Morata and James without getting adequate replacements earlier this year.

But no? Let's not dwell on actual problems, let's make up new excuses: like you know, CR7 fans casting a hex over RM. Because that's so much more fun and satisfying than demanding that the board steps up!

Perez has probably already printed Lope's pink slip, waiting patiently to append his signature because he'd throw every player and staff under the bus until he's booted out like the first time around, rather than address our very visible flaws. And he has the guts to do that because these f*cking tw*ts are cheering him on when he makes obviously stup*d decisions.

Sell a 50-goal player without replacement(s) and hope his erstwhile unproductive strike partners step up, while the competition is getting better than ever. Would he make such a horrible gamble with his established business? Is that how he became a billionaire?

usbcable:
We will overcome it just as we over came it with previous players.
Many great players have ever adorned the jersey number 7 for Real Madrid.

They were all great players for Real Madrid.
They all bedazzled the world of football during their stays here.

Joseito
Juanito
Butragueno
Esnaider
Raul
Ronaldo

We always adore these players;

The Bernebau even chants at every 7 minute Juanitos name.
Butragueno is still a director at the club.
Raul is back in the club.
Why then would Real disrespect the GOAT himself.

No ordinary player has worn the iconic jersey. It remains who Lope will give the jersey to next.

Hala Madrid.

Forgive them for thinking the club is one with the leadership or a section of the fanbase. Leadership and players leave, the club remains.

CR7 did not have any problem with the club, just with the honcho. And he was going to leave at some point.

RM is a big club. It was a big club before CR7 entered, it was a big club while he was here, and it's still a big club after he's left. What'd determine its future is management not the loss of an all-time great. Ajax is forgotten today, Leeds too. I'm very positive the board wouldn't be taking these expensive chances if they were in a competitive league like the PL where at least 4 teams are going for the league title and at least 6 teams realistically aim to win the league cup; and it's now possible for a big name to miss the UCL.

Good thing on the board to get Courtois and ship off Hakimi for the starlet Odriozola; but for a club that prides itself in outscoring opponents, I just don't see an attacking flair that exudes confidence (with no disrespect to Bale and co.) in our chances against the heavyweights. We'd blow Getafe out of the water tomorrow with a B-team having a few A entrants, and it'd take a disaster of epic proportion for us not to qualify for the UCL. But when one sees worrying developments, the smart thing is to nip it in the bud. Else the club legacy will be lost in time if it loses its relevance in the sporting world.

Apparently, this is too deep for some peeps! They want to adamantly head into stormy seas and keep at it until they're clutching desperately to splintered parts in the middle of no where. Maybe they think we amassed all this success by making silly decisions or chasing phantom issues. Of all the things to be concerned about, it's CR7 fans that bothers them most. Talk about priorities!

monerozi5590:
Just like LordAdamX said and i quote "CR7 Fans don't pretend about where their loyalties lie. And they owe no one any apology"

They are many of them like this and the painful aspect is that most of them have started wishing us bad luck because CR7 left. Bros i respect ur choice and good luck in your new found club.

Like the club needed bad luck to lose to ATH...

Dude look at clubs like Milan and know that most people wouldn't support a team without success, legacy be damned. It's standard human nature.

Usbcable knows firsthand how dry RM threads were in the late 2000s here. I don't need to prove my choice to anyone here. Don't like it, GFY! Seriously!!! All this lame-a** stick to the club sh*t over a player is BS! None of us is an actual Madridismo. So I don't get this fake asf posturing.

I liked Madrid when CR7 was still in Manchester and didn't particularly like the club even though I was a fan of the player, same way many cules like Modric even tho' he plays for their eternal rivals. So I fail to see how me being a fan of CR7 equates to me wishing RM bad. RM doesn't need wishes to have a bad season. There's sh*t management and the club has rode its luck for too long.

Even with CR7 last year, we ended the season knowing we needed to do something about the striker position, the defense, and squad depth. Then we start a new season without a striker, defense still looks like sh*t, and we moved from having Morata, Bale, James, and Kovacic on the bench to having Vinicius, Ceballos, and Mayoral. Then when sh*t hits the fan, it's CR7 fans you want to turn your attention to. F*UCK YOU!

Neymar left Barca, and their board bought Dembele, Coutinho, and Malcolm. Even though they have Messi. We sell Ronaldo and buy no one (Vinicius was already coming in before CR7 left), and you dumbf*cks are expecting magic? Who hates the club then?!

Why won't Perez sit comfortably watching a 2:4 scoreline when he knows c*nts like yourself would deflect and blame imaginary wishers for club failure. Apparently when we don't win matches, it'd be because CR7 fans are "wishing RM bad luck." Like anyone wishing RM bad luck had ever been a deciding factor on the results the club gets. Do you know how annoyingly st*pid that sounds?

There are lots of targets to aim at as the club goes into rough times, but don't you dare take a shot at the CR7 fan crowd during this ride on my watch. I assure you, you'd immediately regret it. And that goes for any other person here! That's your final warning!

usbcable:
Our defence has serious issues

why is Carvajal alwasy saddled with the responsibility of marking Costa?

carvajal has a problem of being too brash and drwan into the center of the defence leaving his flanks open.

Marcelo is always marcelo with defending

varane uncharacteristically messed up the late moments of the game

Ramos Dont know why he played the penalty when we had 2 strikers on the pitch

Oh you notice that one ba? Bale dey pitch Ramos dey take PK. Why?

They better resolve that matter before next game ooo.

Overall, today is a night to forget. We seriously need to work on that defense. This outscoring mantra no gel again. Onto the next game tho'.

-Lord

usbcable:
The midfield got tired after Case left.
So no one was feeding Bale and Benzema again.

Modric had to drop deeper to cover the defence.

Mayoral had noneffect what soever on the attack too.

Likewise Vasquez and Ceballos

Why will Modric not have to drop deep when you have Bale, Benzema, Mayoral, Vazquez, and Ceballos up front. Lope just threw the kitchen sink at ATM as a Hail Mary attempt. I see why he'd do that, and accept that these errors happen.

Where problem go dey na if he continue dey repeat them.

-Lord

usbcable:
ATM are rugged and ruthless with counters.

That is Case specialty. And Llorente would be a better option to break down such moves than an attacking or midfielder.

I hope he has learnt his lessons.

Real Madrid don't forgive easily. Ask Benitez or Mou or Schuster

That's the main issue.

When next they go to the Bernabeu, the crowd will be restless and panicky.

usbcable:
Ceballos could have been a replacement formmaybe Kroos but not Case.

Apparently, he wanted to sub in Ceballos for someone else. However, with Case down, you would expect him to change his mind on the sub and put Llorente on the pitch instead.

It's standard game management. Everyone knows Case is our engine. And with Kovacic out, Llorente is the closest we have to a replacement for him. No one else in the team can replace him.

Hopefully, he learns from this. Valverde turned things around after the Super Cup embarrassment. Unfortunately, the defense issues don't seem like they can be sorted out in days. And we still haven't bought the needed backup striker.

Even Bale had to leave the wings where he was lethal to get into the box because our no 9 is actually a 10. It'd be interesting to see how Lope gets out of this. I did like the energy they showed for the first 70 minutes. Whatever it was, I hope to see more of it.

-Lord

usbcable:
I still don't know how all previous comments referenced CR.

Na only am carry CR7 matter enter the thread, kon connect am to the painfully obvious Spanish favoritism. Now he's expecting others to join him to sh*t on CR7 to prove they're Madrid fans. Imagine the cr*p.

As if Madrid is the first club CR7 left. All the Man U fans that still cheer for CR7 10 years after he left are fake fans too! Sometimes when people start typing, you begin to wonder whether they their brain is on vacation.

You're saying CR7 wouldn't have stopped the goals. I'm sure all those crosses they were putting in the box weren't good opportunities to reply the goals by a lethal finisher with an unreal jump height.

I thought Llorente is also Spanish? or maybe I got my facts wrong

Nah my facts were correct, bringing in Llorente would be another "Spanish agenda". He should've just brought in Brazilian legend Vinicius for Casimiro

Na you go wail tire!

When only Spanish players are available, will he sub you into the pitch?

Even with Spanish players available, he still chose the wrong Spanish player. I've said I'd give Lope 3 months. Nothing you say will change that!

Llorente was on the bench and he didn't bring him on as a direct replacement.

Guilty conscience.

Stop looking for oxygen in a vacuum.

CR7 Fans don't pretend about where their loyalties lie. And they owe no one any apology. If you want to go back to the humiliating run of never challenging for titles or UCL, be our guest, no one will let you and your ilk run the club down in the name of fake loyalty. I'm sure in your mind it was a proper thing to bring in Ceballos for Casemiro when Llorente a more defensive minded player is on the bench.

The problem now is that Lope is supposed to be working on our defensive issues. Yet the goals are still pouring in.

Those criticizing Emery or the team clearly didn't watch Wenger's Arsenal regularly.

The sense of urgency and press the players had in this game is laudable. They kept going at it until the final minute. It was a pleasant surprise. Granted they could have been more accurate with passes and a lot more coordinated, but that's a work in progress. Arsenal wouldn't become a top 4 team until they get better than average players, so the performance today is only a few notches below the best they could offer.

The board doesn't have the money to spend in today's inflated market, the players aren't going to magically become world class, so a top 6 finish is what Arsenal should realistically be gunning for in light of the competition.
