I think we can't really say which one is good from Jude or Vini. But i can only tell you the fact that if the price of those guys is really worth it with their time to adapt with the club. Vini took longer than Jude Bellingham to play as well as now in real madrid. Meanwhile, it takes a few weeks for Bellingham to play very well in real madrid.
Even he scored many goals in his first season with Real Madrid. And again, it doesn't make sense to compare the players. They played at different positions. But, I know that real madrid is only willing to buy an expensive player if they meet their criteria.



I remember when people used to talk a lot about how much Vini struggled at his first season in Real Madrid. It's strange to compare him to Bellingham, who has not yet reached his prime.
Nineteen goals in Bellingham's first season is truly amazing. He is an attacking midfielder, then take your conclusion on this.

It looks like you think that at Real Madrid Mbappe will put the interests of the team and overall success above his ego. however, seems to be a logical point of view, especially given the mature coaching staff and numerous high potential players. In my opinion, athletes like Mbappe achieve the most and are most efficacious in terms of efforts where uniformly strive for collective results rather than personal goals and glory. It will be fascinating to determining how it works in his new team and club.

I also think that Mbappe will not put his ego first in the Real Madrid team, because apart from there being a coach who is experienced enough to handle all the players in the Real Madrid squad, Mbappe himself knows that he is already in a much better team and also it is more appropriate for him so that he no longer needs to show excessive ego if he himself really wants a trophy like many other players at Real Madrid have obtained. So I think Mbappe will play as well as possible at Real Madrid together with his other colleagues and will try to work together as well as possible there.

For a long time there has been no news about Roma, recently they have announced their latest transfer, they have brought in a new goalkeeper from Australia, Mathew Ryan. The goalkeeper came to Roma on a free transfer after he finished his contract at AZ Alkmar, he also has a lot of experience with several European clubs including Arsenal, Brighton and Real Sociedad, hopefully his presence can help Roma for maintain a strong defense next season.
However, he is only under a one-year contract considering that he is already 32 years old, it is likely that he will compete for a place with Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar, who always appears to defend Roma.

I don't see him as the most ideal right now because there are still many other strikers who are much better and younger.
Lukaku's performance has declined so much and he is no longer a sharp striker and even if you look at Osimhem's performance, it is actually much better.
For example, during the Euro Cup and the performance shown by Lukaku was completely below expectations, even though his experience was much better.

He is so dependent on Osimhem that the chances of him joining Napoli are very small.
There are no funds available when Osimhem is not bought by another club and I think the option is to play in the Saudi Arabian League.

I also think Modric is staying at Real Madrid because team wants to give him and Toni Kroos special goodbye. It makes sense that team does not want to lose both experienced players at same time. Modric can still help team by guiding younger players. Even if he does not play as much as he used to his leadership and experience can still make a positive difference. It's a good decision by Real Madrid to make sure transition is smooth and to honor two great players.

Yeah he already said goodbye as there wouldn’t be any extension, i some how like how Thiago Motta is doing a clear out of this players although I don’t think he is right to kick out players like Chiesa out just like that. I could remember Rabiot rejecting Manchester United just a summer a go and now with Manchester United still looking for a proper CM he is available. I don’t think United would come for him because his wages would definitely be huge and more so he is past his prime even if his age suggests other wise. He could be heading back to Ligue one or even the Saudi pro league for now.


This man was already on his way out of the club and was just giving contract extensions just because of the departure of his teammate Toni Kroos, Madrid definitely new both of them leaving same time might affect the club and that’s why they extended. This actually proves that Madrid are the best club in the world or have a very good and intelligent president who knows that overhaul isn’t done without senior or experienced players been part of the squad. The remaining players who were class of Zidane era will also be on the move too once they get two new right backs.


I wouldn’t even say both flopped but rather both had its nations not performing to the level they would want. The both player had two goals each, both goals were crucial for their respective nations as such they delivered their best. As for has more impact when they came I think vini did considering how much he was bought but the slow rose to fame made Bellingham more popular

That's it. Pep has experience in many leagues. He knows how to guess the gameplay used by opponents. It was very weird to see how England signed South Gate 7 years ago because of this guy never won a major competition. He's also even making Middlesbrough relegated too.

England is now at least using their senses. I strongly support this decision. However, Pep is still under contract with Manchester City. I hope England can now approach him now.

This is far better than waiting for Pep's contract to expire. We can't be sure if Pep will accept it. Once he refuses, England can recruit another coach.

Still waiting for another name to be linked to the England national club. Im sure Pep is not the only one.

An alternative plan is a must.

Yep. He is officially leaving Juventus, he is a free agent status now.
His future is still difficult to predict, but there are many interests from big teams. AC Milan, Napoli, Liverpool, Man United, and other top teams showed their intention to negotiate with Rabiot. If he still feels comfortable with Serie A atmosphere, I think he will consider AC Milan and Napoli as his new team. But if he is likely to leave Serie A, I think he is very possible to join Liverpool. Now, it depends on his future goal, where he prefers to continue his career. Personally, I guess he will stay in Italy.

They are very smart in Real Madrid. They didn't wait for Luka Modric or Kroos to get retired and then hire players to fill their players.
Instead of waiting for these players to get retire, they hired younger players like Arda Guler while they had Kroos, this way Luka Modric and Kroos could help Guler to get experienced. Now in the next season, Real Madrid will have a younger squad.  

Modric has already passed all the expected experience to the young Madrid midfielders. It is just that Toni had been announcing his retirement from last season even when Madrid begged him to sign for one more season. Having Toni and Modric leave the same season would have some negative vibe in the team no doubt. Besides, they both require and deserve different and loud sent forth. So, Modric has to bow for Toni to leave.

As you have predicted, he (Modric) will not be having much playing time. And I also think his presence in the team will tame both Vini and Mbappé and then, Mbappe will understand the team well before he will receive the No 10 jersey from Modric.

Luka Modric continues his incredible journey at the Royal Spanish Club. And became one of the greatest players in the club's history. During 12 years of playing for the Royal team, though he turned 38, Modric still showed his value in the Real Madrid team. Last season, he played 32 matches in La Liga, including 18 starting matches. I appreciate not only Modric's talent but also his human qualities. Luka Modric will begin his 13th and possibly final season at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Modric's contract extension takes place in the context that Real Madrid is making major personnel changes. Just days earlier, the club unveiled star Kylian Mbappe at the Bernabeu Stadium in a glittering ceremony. Retaining Modric shows that Real Madrid is trying to balance experience and youth in the squad. Modric next season will add more experience and sophistication to their midfield.

Clash of egos? I do not think so. Mbappe knows that he is more in the club to help himself than the club needing his help. Real Madrid have won everything in football even without Mbappe, so he understands that it is a privilege to play for such a club where there ism so much assurance of winning trophies and medals, and not being in the team to try help them win. Real Madrid have had players bigger than Mbappe, he will be humble, and for a coach like Ancelloti who has experience with big players, I do not think that will happen.

I don’t see that they are doing anything bad at the moment, even before Mbappe’s the hype was already and If you ask me the hype is well deserved because currently you can’t mention the best players in the world without Mbappe been easily in the top three. Let’s forget about his bad Euros performance he is damnn good that he deserves this media hype, this is definitely the transfer of this summer.
As for the league, I agree with you that there is more competition in the Spanish league than the French league. But considering the fact that Mbappe has delivered even in the biggest tournaments before he can equally delivers again. Playing in one less superior league doesn’t mean you wouldn’t excel beyond the past limits in other tough league or fail to meet expectations in the lower league. Messi didn’t score much In Ligue 1, his total goals there he can easily score them in one season in Laliga even though the former is more competitive than the latter.


Ronaldo’s entire legacy can only be admire and can only be match by only Messi. The reason why people draw comparisons between Mbappe and Ronaldo is be because they want him to stay motivated since this is someone he has followed in his footsteps all his career. This could make him go for the title. Ronaldo has 450 goals in 9 seasons which is crazy but with the goal scoring record that Mbappe had shattered in the past he can definitely dream to shatter this too

I think Real Madrid did the best thing. It would have been terrible letting both Toni Kroos and Modric depart the club in the same season. They’re both leaders and they’re needed in this type of team considering the fact that they’re a lot of young talented players in the club.
Giving Modric a new contract and making him the club captain is a very good idea. He’s a respected figure in the team and the dressing room. With the addition of Mbappe to the team, there’s always goin to be a clash of egos.
He’ll definitely not be getting much match time but his experience will be invaluable in the team.

We just have to see what Mbappe will do in Madrid next season because after all with the age he has at this time and with good performance at the club and in the French national team before I think it is possible for him to perform better especially for now when talking about Madrid at least he will not try alone to build a team well in order to achieve victory and win trophies because Madrid has a very strong winning mentality.

But it is undeniable that there could be a surprise where Mbappe weakens in Madrid because we know adaptation is important and when Mbappe cannot adapt well then there could be a situation that makes his performance decline. Hazard should be used as an example for Mbappe not to be complacent with what he has now because if he is complacent with what he has and does not try harder then he could fail in Madrid.
 

Yeah I saw this late today, it's definitely good choice atleast for the Madrid youngster's atleast they one more season to learn from Luka modric experience and talent as they have done all these years. Football is one of the sports that gets the whole world on stand by because of the beautiful moment and Real Madrid has a lot of it to offer especially now that the legendary squad is almost all wipe off.

With the hype behind Mbappe’s transfer to Real Madrid, he is indeed on of the most anticipated player by Madrid fans because they really wants to see him play for the team, and at this moment he is the best signing.

After next season, we will be able to consider their quality performances between him and Jude Bellingham because we have already seen how greatly Bellingham performed in the just concluded season, he was the best signing for Madrid last season he displayed great potentials and also showed the world that he is a professional footballer both in club side and the national team.

One more season with Real Madrid to help pass the knowledge he also had all these years before finally leaving the club. Feel good to see him signing, at least, they'll use his experience during difficult games next season.

Should have left alongside Toni Kroos this season but he decided to stay one more season. I see he also wants to heart warming goodbye and send off, same way they did for Toni Kroos at the end of the season. It's finally, coming to an end, that great Real Madrid squad all these years would be having just Dani Carvajal and Luka Modric alone.

Asides this, the deal for Lucas Vasquez has àlso been extended for more season, we will see what they have to give to the club finally before they leave.

In terms of performance and transfer fee, Vini is better. Vini was signed for €45mil and Bellingham was signed for €103mil. I could totally argue with you that both arguably played wonderful seasons with Real Madrid and won those trophies for Real Madrid. Both has significant impact on the club so yeah Vini is just way better in this case although both flop so bad in Euro and Copa America
