Real Madrid have agreed terms with Iago Aspas but wait to see if deal with Rodrigo falls through or not to complete the deal.

Me: Aspas that failed in Liverpool and Sevilla is now the striker we want. Dude seems only suited in Celta. But well sha still better than nothing.

One of the main targets this season, should be to convincingly beat Liverpool home and away. Just completely "off" that belief that they are City's bogey team!

Have hated it since forever.
I thought they would have adjusted by now to more midday timing but they only moved from midnight matches to 8pm 9pm matches.

And they wonder why viewership is low despite being the only league playing during that time.

I have this strong feeling that James still loves and respects Madrid so also Kovacic.

If both can be guaranteed more playing time next season they will come back.
They both do, but their professional lives would take precedence.

James love for the club is well documented. Last seasons match against Bayern proved it.

But to think that James and Kovacic will come back next season is giving me joy. Thank God we didn't sell both players. We still have a good chance of having both back next season.
Miracles do happen.

Even though they both are on loan, it will take a lot for either to come back

ON THIS DAY: In 2015, Real Madrid signed Mateo Kovačić from Inter Milan on a six-year deal.

Yesterday, he completed 100% of his 43 passes on Premier League debut for Chelsea. �
Of what use or relevance is this post now?

He is in the past and fans are not meant to discuss past players especially when they move to rival clubsides.

Circumstances have changed.

Make Bale the primary PK taker and make Ramos second and no one would care.

This is not the captaincy where it always has to follow a seniority hierarchy.

Or are we going to buy Neymar today and insist Ramos will still be the choice PK taker? If no, then why is it now a taboo for Bale or Benzema to be the choice PK taker?

-Lord
Let us drop the Ramos issue before we are termed Ramos haters oooo.

Their was a reason why strikers or the super star are always made the primary PK taker in top teams.

Abeg,

What more do you know about Marcelo's back up other than his name?

But he scored! why is that a reason to complain again? It might be unusual but so long he scored it shouldn't accompany complains on how we lost the match!

Maybe he's better than them at PKs and showed it in training? I mean as a fan I don't care who takes high stake PK so long they score at the end. it could be goalkeeper for all I care

also, a striker trying to build confidence with a high stakes PK but misses it would have his confidence shattered further. let's not act like its a given for Bale and Benz to score just because Ramos scored. There are times to give penalties to players trying to boost confidence like when the lead is unassailable not in a cup final when the score is level against fukking atletico
Yes he scored.
No issues at that.

But to what end would you have a striker on the pitch that is yet to score and it is he defender that is committing blunders that steps up to take the Penalty kick.

Is it to boost his confidence too?

Those analysts are analysts for a reason. If they have Lope's knowledge they wouldn't be analysts. analysts are just barely more knowledgeable than the average fans only they get to spill their opinion to many others

and what has Europe got to do with anything? are they playing handball or Golf at Sao Paulo FC? what about Everton that Leighton Baines is their penalty taker? or is Everton an African club or Baines a striker? Was Liverpool an Asian club when Xabi Alonso was their designated PK taker the season they won UCL or was Xabi a strikerhuh

I never called Lope infallible, I said he knows better than you and that's a fact. He trains with these players, watch them take PKs in training and chose to let Ramos take the high stake PK which he dispatched. You have never been to Ciudad or even Valdebebas let alone watch them train PKs but you think you know better about real Madrid's best PK taker? Professor Charles Xavier who also knows Benzema and Bale are too timid to complain

Navas might as well take the PKs, I don't care if he's the one taking it or even Odriozola. I care more if the ball end up in the back of the opponent's posts and that's how coaches too think unless the game is far gone so they can get sentimental like Mourinho screaming for Chelsea players to let Kezman take PK, Ronaldo handling Benzema PK to score and get confidence, Messi passing to Suarez, Henry passing to Pires etc. When the PK is an important one sentiments are thrown out and rightly so

If Bale and Benz are looking for confidence then let them wait till an unimportant PK comes up or if they think they're better than Ramos at PKs then let them show it in training or complain to the coach and/or Perez themselves. Absence any of these, anyone who's hating the coach under the guise of feeling bad for our strikers who "need confidence" should get their coaching badges and unseat Lope
Tell me a top 5 team that their prime penalty taker is a defender in any top European league.

Xabi Alonso is not a defender.

lol. You're being sarcastic right?
Tbh, I don't see what Isco offers in the team. The only spanish midfielder/attacker that looks relevant is Ceballos. Asensio is good on his days but could be selfish. I still prefer Asensio to Isco though.

The funny thing is why Vinicious Jnr wasn't put on while Vasquez, Mayoral, Isco were given enough time to stink everywhere with their nonsense. Even Odegaard ought to be above these 3 in the pecking order.
He is being sarcastic, if you follow thebteend of the thread

The Odegaard issue is sad though
Really sad.

See wailing. Lol.

Personally, I think Lope's love for Isco will be the end of him because I see no reason why Asensio was substituted while Isco was still allowed on the pitch. At least, Asensio gave Madrid a threatening look at times and had his moment irrespective of him missing a huge chance to score but Isco on the other hand was just plain useless.

I don't even know why Isco was deployed in the midfield sef 'cos he offers nothing there. If he was on the wing, at least his dribbling would have taken the focus from others but in the midfield, he's simply useless. Ceballos should have debutised for Modric, not Isco. Better still, Isco should have been subbed off earlier in the game, not Asensio.

Another was subbing on an attacking midfielder for the injured Casiemiro when it should have been either Valverde or Llorente. I think that mistake opened the floodgate for Atletico 'cos Kroos had to focus more on defending than controlling and we all know he's not great in that aspect of his game. And the worse was even subbing Kroos off for Mayoral. Lol I laughed out loud when I saw that.

In essence, Lope's love for these spanish cunts, most especially Isco will be the end of him.
The only fault I have for Lope is bringing on Ceballos for Casemiro. Thus leaving the defence open to ATM attacks.
Llorente is still Spanish so blaming him for bringing on Spanish players is just to mock him for his undying love for Spanish gems grin

I have forgotten who said he brought 7 Spanish players to Porto in his term there. Pls can anyone confirm this too. That is the reason for him being accused of sentimentally selective of Spanish players I guess. cheesy

I'm just observing the drama going on without interfering but I think I need to talk about this one

There's no winning for this coach. is there?

Ramos took PK in our 3-3 draw in copa del rey against Sevilla. I'm not sure if Bale played that game but I'm 100% sure Benz was there cuz he scored the equalising goal with a nice dribble move to get away from 2 players.

Ramos takes PK for La Roja too and I'm sure he's taken more than the Sevilla example I gave up there. that Bale and Benz you guys think should be taking it didn't show any sign of being disappointed at not taking the PK makes me wonder why you guys are the ones complaining in their stead. these guys train together and knows more about team instructions including penalty hierarchy than we do. who knows if those other players are not in the frame of mind to take the PK? (see Thiago Silva crying and asking to be put last in PK even behind Fuuking Julio Cesar). Like I keep saying. many madridistas can't wait for this coach to fail so everything that happens from now on would be used as opportunity to shiit on him so they can say "I've always said it bla bla bla" if he fails

Whether Navas (Courtois) or Casimiro or Varane or Vallejo or Odriozola becomes the designated PK taker makes no difference to me so long they score the PK and everyone who cares for the team should share this sentiment

PK was awarded, Ramos stepped up and dispatched it but you guys are still complaining. makes me wonder what would've happened if he missed. I guess if he missed it would've been the golden opportunity for "some Madridistas" to blame our sale of Ronaldo for the miss too (yes, I brought him up again) and/or say he's favouring "Spanish players" to the detriment of the team. he scored and that still doesn't stop the complain
Its amazing how you reach some conclusions.

Where did I or anyone accuse or blame Lope of letting Ramos take the penalty.

All comments so far is just around the fact that its not normal for a defender to be the first penalty taker in the team when you have able super star strikers in the same squad.

A striker scoring a penalty boosts his confidence levels. What is the reason for a defender?

And you still had to link it to your arch Nemesis. What an irony that CR is the problem to a so-called Real Madrid fan even after he has left.
smh. *sighs

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
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? cry

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

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!

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

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.

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.
