FergieRaww since you brought 10 up. Please can you name ur 10 greatest Madrid players. I want to check something. Some past players might just be draged this night.

FergieRaww:
Lol i wanted to bring this Topic itself up in the nearest future but now you've asked okay!

but Top 10 based on Generally in the history of the club or only players one has watched play in Madrid?

monerozi5590:
Let start with the those you have watched played/playing for Madrid

FergieRaww:
for sake of uncertainty in my rating, my list will be in no particular order

Cristiano Ronaldo

Sergio Ramos

Zinedine Zidane

Luka Modric

Iker Casillas

Raul

Marcelo

Karim Benzema

Roberto Carlos

Xabi Alonso

monerozi5590:
But why is Xabi and Zidane above guys like Kroos, Carvajal and Casemiro?

FergieRaww:
For one Xabi is the DM with more flair we wished Case is (not taking anything away from Casemiro cause i love him as a player but we all know Alonso is a better DM that can give you more going forward)

I didn't watch Zizou in his first and half season here with us but the other 3/½ i saw that Magician play for this team, i confirmed where the hype was coming from when people older than me then was talking about him (i haven't even started supporting any team then but i was amazed of such player Zizou was) ... so Kroos isn't that person

As for Carvajal, it's same reason Marcelo isn't in my top 10 is due to no space

FergieRaww:

Sergio Ramos

Zinedine Zidane

Luka Modric

Iker Casillas

Raul

Marcelo

Karim Benzema

Roberto Carlos

Xabi Alonso

Alonso as a lone DM is a disaster. Even Mourinho didn't trust him there. Maybe when Casemiro leaves you will start appreciating him.

Zidane spent five seasons with us. His last three seasons were shit. The team was horrible.

Bale had more successful Madrid career than Zidane in all areas. But no Bale in ur list

monerozi5590:
Fergie, if Kroos is sluggish/slow as some of you have said. Alonso was what?

pu7pl3:
Remove Xabi Alonso and put Bale there

FergieRaww:
For what?! not in this my lifetime

Instead i'll fix in Marcelo or Casemiro inside my Top 10

what's a bale?

FergieRaww:
You've come again lol

Alonso is slow? someone covering the defence and also adding in ball progression from the CDM position for you and y'all compare that with Kroos?

Oya bring stats let's judge

FergieRaww:
Show me the disaster in a match with Alonso as a lone DM then i'll point a few of Case too.. i already appreciate Case 100% and he'll be in my top 20

Trophy wise the galatico era was shit... don't say what you don't know regarding Zizou's performance in his final 3yrs in Madrid cause of Bale illustrious trophy career with us (which was even the sole help of CR7, Modric and Ramos) ... you think na to ghost all season and come and score in a UCL final that'll make Bale a superhero in my eyes lol

monerozi5590:
When i hv the time i will write about Carvajal. Dude is somehow not appreciated enough.

Since i started watching Madrid, i have not watched a RB as good as him. He has held that position for 8 seasons or so. One of the reason i hated Benitex was he trying to bench him for Danilo. Thank God he didn't last

airmark:
Can Hazard serve Raumdeuter and all that foolishly ridiculed him, their deserved Ls?

Devvy4:
Dani is a pure beast, his work rate is exceptional, good in attack and in defense, so sad people underrates him, probably due to fitness issues.

He is definitely better off than the likes of Dani alves and lahm, I haven’t seen a RB better than him

monerozi5590:
Kroos should't be a starter in what planet?

monerozi5590:
Yeah! Zidane with all of his majic on the ball he won one Laliga in five seasons with us. As if na majic we go chop.

He won one Champions League in his entire club football career and i am not sure he would hv won one had it been he didn't come to Madrid.

Yeah, let keep dragging them.

Also there is a reason why Zidane enter the GOAT debate (easily top7) in anybody's list. Greatest ain't only about trophies reason why Maradona with zero UCLs and few league titles is in everyone's GOAT Top3/4 while a Toni with 5 UCLs can't even be considered the best midfielder in his own team!

E get some mumu takes wey no make sense. A madridsta shouldn't be spitting out trash when you nor be barkabot

Guy rest. Kroos is a top5 GOAT midfielder for Madrid no cap. But Zidane is his daddy no matter the level of his achievements. Zidane came in as a 28yo (soon to be 29yo) and in the few years left in his prime, brought out greatness in our club. Most of the galaticos of that era didn't produce their best years here but Zizou did.


Kroos team trophies doesn't make him better because it wasn't Kroos that won us those trophies. Geez, we had fvcking Ronaldo (the GOAT), Ramos (our GOAT CB), Modric (one of the GOAT midfielders) and the 2/3 of BBC! There is a reason why this era is the greatest for our club except for maybe De Stefano/Puskas era.

In what planet is Toni fit enough to lace Zidane's boot. Zidane did more in his first two years than Toni will ever do in all his Madrid career. Put some respect to that man's name!
