More like Mendy, Tcho etc aren't disposable just because we are struggling for couple of months. If you are gonna shit on players who have been consistently winning, Theos and Odegaards are also gonna shat on by the same people if they are at RM. Heck City players would have been too after recent losses. Not whinging about selling Theo 5 years later doesn't equate to wanting no new signings. I have been on board about signing Davies and TAA for long. I'd rather sell Fran who's mediocre on both ends.
Kovacic will get a shoutout next time RM lose a game. How dare we let go of players who wanted to leave like Odegaard, Kovacic. Theo said he changed his party lifestyle after a serious chat with Maldini understanding that this is the final opportunity to get his career back on track. But bad squad planning to sell this dude who was going Jese 2.0 route while at RM and Real Sociedad loan. Even "whiskey" Sneijder didn't get a pass let alone party boy teenager.
You have been on board with signing Davies and TAA for long but keeping talented homegrown players like Theo, Gutierrez or Nico Paz is too much for you. The grass is always greener on the other side.
If Carlo isn't playing Endrick, Arda and Fran who are new and newish signings, what makes you think he'd play any new signings we get in January? Yes squad planning is/was trash from the board but watching the guy managing the players doesn't give me confidence he'd give anyone who isn't a veteran thats played under him a chance to actually start.
Dude you are a clueless rant. Theo was signed 26 ME from Atletico. He's not homegrown. And in his own words didn't prioritise football for one season at RM and another on loan at Real Sociedad. Paz didn't play at all after scoring vs Napoli last season. Do you want him to play in 3rd division again for whole season? Carlo is our coach and Como plays Paz a lot.
You joined this forum in 2020. Find it in transfer thread here itself because it's been discussed multiple times.
Did quick Google search and here's recent article with Theo's quote. He talked much more in detail about the conversation with Maldini few years back. Had posted it on RMBS then. “I received a lot of insults and criticism. I had a reputation as a bad boy and it’s true that I did something stupid. But I matured as a person and now I consider myself a playful, but calm guy,” he has since told GdS. https://m.allfootballapp.com/news/L...rid-due-to-controversial-private-life/3590182
You win in this particular instance however this doesn't invalidate the point I am making. Nobody should be considered untouchable, nobody.
A little bit of truth for some: The quick fix you wish we could get in a month isn't available on the market and even if it were, the club wouldn't make the large investment to secure it.

I am all for Carlo finishing the season with his current personnel, but it looks like the club board will have to make some tough decisions next summer.
Probably true....but Fran is who we have right now as an alternative. The way Mendy has played, must give Fran a proper chance now.
You can always tell the fans who only arrived in the win win win, CL back to back, doubles, always win era And we are doing about 90% better than all the squads out there in terms of results Absolutely no way of proving that he is "miles ahead" until he actually gets on the pitch for us, i keep reading i can't compare Madrid with any other team when it comes to coach or other players, the same applies, can't compare what Girona does with what we do, very different personnel,( and it's not like they are achieving better results) he's not getting all that space on the left if he plays with Vin and Kylian, i also read he's Girona's main creative outlet, he absolutely will not be that here, one ball, and our players will look for many other players before giving it to him, he will for sure have to adapt to us and play differently, unless we are planning on bringing the rest of the Girona squad too and the coach, he might be different but he might also just be Fran part 2, without a doubt Marcelo has left a huge mark, we keep trying to find him again and again, even though we have proven we can win without such a player We have to put away our chances when we get them and stop turning the ball over so easily in the final third
1. He will adapt but he won't lose his abilities. He created 21 big chances in La Liga in 23-24 despite not being their main creative outlet. He would work just fine with Vini. Btw, Mendy and Gutierrez have roughly the same amount of touches per 90, it's just that one makes things happen when he has the ball and the other doesn't. 2. You're making it sound far simpler than it is.
I hope we suck long enough to get rid of people that engage with this club in the way that you do. My limit is even a season without CL. Anything.
Bro reminding us of his mantra: if you're not a Madrid player, you're not good enough to be a Madrid player.
