Real Madrid will not be able to replace Ramos if he leaves Real. Moreover, the new coach actually takes some time to adapt to the players of the team.

I hope he, like Tuchel, can win the UCL in his first season. But I agree with what you said. Madrid will only be a lion without fangs if they do not have new players who provide solutions to problems this season. But what I'm surprised at is that I haven't heard of a transfer from Madrid. Are they really struggling with money and won't be spending this season? If this is true ah damn, I think they will fail again in UCL and league

There hasn't been an announcement for a single big transfer so far. It has nothing to do with Real Madrid having no money. They are all waiting and checking what the realty looks like on the transfer market this year. I am sure they will announce one big one very soon, but I don't count Real Madrid as a favorite for the Champions League title next year. Of course they are always able to win it, but I'd see rather other clubs in the pole position. Certainly Bayern Munich will be one of the fiercest competitors again even with the team they now have.

I guess their main targets could be Kane and Mbappe right now. They really want to strengthen their attacking line and it would be great to see one of these players at Real Madrid. It looks like Mbappe transfer will be a very tough one for them as PSG don't want to let him go at all. So, they could give up on him and make an effort to sign Kane.

Well, then Haaland is actually the best option. Paris has their sheiks, they don't need to let him go for 150 million, but Dortmund would probably let Haaland go for 150 million. Jesus Christ, typing that number made me realize how crazy the world is by now. 150 million for a soccer player Cheesy

Seeing Griezmann with France in a role behind a striker who knows his roles well is goingto bring his potential,Unfortunately for Barcelona we see this ghost
version of the player.
In Atletico he has always been the team champion with his moves, passes and decisiveness in front of the goal.
The difference between the two experiences is the presence of the striker. And his absence.
This maybe is going to be changed next year as he will be just behind Aguero but it's that his roles overlap with Messi then.

Damn, Griezmann was such a brilliant striker. When he transferred to Barcelona it was over. He should have stayed with Atletico. Funny thing is Suarez goes to Atletico and strikes them to the championship. While Griezmann is getting worse and worse.

In Real Madrid, the issue with the strikers has not been resolved, I would say that there is no strong striker who would sit firmly at the base, maybe except Benzema. Since Ronaldo left the team, there is no equal replacement for him.

He can still play at Madrid for 2 more years. If he does return to Madrid, I hope that Anceloti gives him the opportunity to play a lot. The return of Anceloti could be a new hope for Bale, Anceloti has a different mind with Zidane. But will he return to Real Madrid next season? I haven't got any official news about this.

Apart from that this season Madrid have had to spend a lot of good players, they need a striker to cover Benzema, a defender to cover Ramos. Hopefully madrid have a lot of money, because they are not active in the winter transfer window,

You may be right. Bringing Aguero to the team was a really smart move that can affect Messi's decision. But I'm still having my doubts about the current situation. Everyone is waiting anxiously for him to decide what he will do. It would be really shocking for Barcelona fans for sure to hear that he decides to leave.

It is a strategy from Laporta and Barcelona to keep Messi in the club but they should do it with Suarez in the last year. I think Suarez has better stamina and performance than Aguero. He also has better connection with Messi.

I also would like to see Suarez coming back to Barcelona. It would be great for Messi and the team both for sure. But there is no reason for him to come back. He wasn't wanted at the team and he achieved much better things at Atletico in the last season.

We haven't seen how Aguero is with Messi so we can't say which one is better before seeing it, for me personally Aguero and Suarez have the same characteristics
Speed, stamina and a strong goal instinct this will be interesting to wait for next season. meanwhile I haven't got any news about new Madrid players.

I think Real Madrid better sell Hazard during have good price than waiting he back good performance, more than three season on Barnabeu Hazard never give good performance like on Chelsea before. Better looking great partner for Benzema and Mbappe is the best option but have higher value, so barter Hazard and mbappe is the best way if PSG want deal it.

I had the same thought, while still playing in Chelsea, Eden Hazard looked shiny and he plays a key role there. But when he moved to Real Madrid, his performances didn't look good (just occasionally he looks great but can't be consistent in every game). So there is nothing wrong with Real Madrid selling Hazard because the funds can be used to buy other players.

Besides Mbappe, Harry Kane is also a good option for Real Madrid, it's just that Kane's transfer value is also high. Or it could be Jadon Sancho because it seems Dortmund already rejected Man United's offer of £67m for Sancho.

Selling Hazard is not worth it now. They won't give good money for it. I think I should give him one more year. In the past he was not allowed to play at full strength of injury. I hope they will bypass it next year. Real Madrid is likely to target the purchase of Mbappe. And the attacker will take Lewandowski. For a couple of years he will play at the proper level, and after that it will be possible to buy Holland.

Will Barcelona lose another free player after the Wijnaldum, will the deal with Depay fail as well?
Both players made a promise to Barcelona and were supposed to come as free players and it seems that Barcelona could be left without both players.
What’s been going on with Barcelona lately?
They are in a big financial crisis, there have been no results and real trophies for a long time and now the players have started to avoid them and choose other clubs.

He has all the rights to try to find a better team financially but especially in term of stability. Until now, it is only a delay in signing the contract but afaik there isn't a team competing Barca to attract him which is a good sign.
Barca is struggling financially, the future of Koeman isn't clear, same goes for Messi. I don't blame Wijnaldum for signing PSG and won't blame any player avoiding Barca for the moment..

It depends on future of Koeman, Messi in the club and the feasible salary that Barcelona accept to pay for Depay.

After terrible performance in Premier League with Manchester United, Memphis Depay found his best in Lyon and he is in a good position to find another better club with good offer for salary. He is not young now and he should find a good offer with as highest salary as possible. I think Depay is suited for Real Madrid than Barcelona because his style is keen on direct attacks. He is different than Neymar but has a similar style like Arturo Vidal. I can not say Vidal had good seasons in Barcelona.

I see Gareth Bale happier playing for Tottenham, since on loan from Real Madrid Bale's performance was very good when he played at Tottenham.
But it looks like Bale wants to respect his contract with Real Madrid with one year remaining, so according to the latest news I read, Bale will play
for Madrid next season. Hopefully new Madrid coach Ancelotti will give Bale more playing time.

In Tottenham, Bale plays very well, so one cannot say that he has no desire, just Zidane gave him little playing time. In Real Madrid, the issue with the strikers has not been resolved, I would say that there is no strong striker who would sit firmly at the base, maybe except Benzema. Since Ronaldo left the team, there is no equal replacement for him.

Real Madrid really need a top striker now. After Ronaldo has left the club, they've lost a lot of power for sure. As far as I know, they have been after Mbappe and Kane to solve this problem. But PSG don't seem like they will let Mbappe go at least for now. There are many big clubs that want to sign Kane also. Real Madrid's job won't be easy especially against Manchester City and Chelsea. Chelsea are the last champions in the CL in the end.

I agree that Madrid do need top strikers next season, because for this season they have relied too much on Benzema and Hazard has failed
to replace Ronaldo. It is very suitable for Kane or Mbappe to play for Madrid, but it seems Kane is not interested in playing outside
the Premier League. Then Mbappe is very interested in playing for Madrid, the problem is that PSG will definitely ask for a very large transfer fee.
Moreover, Real Madrid has a financial condition that is not too good right now, will lose to compete if it turns out that Man City and Chelsea
are competing for Kane or Mbappe. It's like Madrid have to look for other alternatives besides the two strikers.

I think Real Madrid better sell Hazard during have good price than waiting he back good performance, more than three season on Barnabeu Hazard never give good performance like on Chelsea before.

Not every player is fit for every team but Bale situation wasn't being able to fit in there or not. Zidane played him very well at one point and dude won them a champions league just a few years ago, however when you look at what is going on at the season afterwards you will see that he wasn't really liking playing there, which means that there could be something that was about team and player having a problem between each other and Bale wasn't playing his best ball.

After he moved to Spurs he was once again very happy to play and that showed on the pitch as well which is what I believe is the main reason of him getting better once again. He didn't become a bad player over just one off-season after the champions league win, he was still good, he just didn't want to play and when he wanted again he showed his true colors and that is why we see him better.

I heard some other news also that Bale was thinking of retiring. But it looks like it won't be the case then. He is still 31 and he can play for a few more years I believe. He had a really good season at Tottenham. But there is no reason for him to stay there as Tottenham are still one of the problematic teams about winning titles.

Bale has his good record and he is not a player like Pogba who brings troubles to coaches, clubs that he is playing for.

It is my respect for Gareth Bale, for his professional. I don't think Real Madrid will expand the contract with Bale and in that club, every player can be sold out or thrown away. Bale is not a home grown player of Real Madrid and Perez has no reasons, no pressure from fans to keep Bale in Real Madrid.

With Ancelotti, Bale will have more appearances and can have more contributions. Ancelotti is good at using players like Bale, Jamez and he rebuilt a second career for Andrea Pirlo in AC Milan.

Bale have different position right now after Zidane out because he has great chance to get more minutes under Ancelotti and remember with last chance Ancelotti always trust and make great forward Benzema, Bale and Ronaldo last four years, but with many young player in Real Madrid like Vinicius, Rodrigo and Asensio maybe Bale have show how still has great performance right now.

Bale looks to have happiness when he is playing on field that makes me think that what happened with him in Real Madrid is not only because of his personal problems. The bad relationship with Zidane and spectaculars in Bernabeu are important.

Ancelotti can give Bale a position in the squad or use him more regularly as a good substitution but Ancelotti can not improve what fans treat with Bale. It will be the last year in the contract and after all this, I believe Bale will find another club.

It is early for CR7 retirement lol. He can still be useful for any team for additional 2-3 years at least. Next he will get coaching career most likely or buying a club in his country..

Everyone can think this same thing of CR7 and can never be wrong! About him having a few years ahead of his career, even Messi can buy into this one too. Again, of CR7 owning a club or his own or actually coaching one is another possibility for the guy. He is a man who's hardwork is showcased on the pitch and most of it paid off. Of cause, his a natural inspiration to a few young talents around the world and a lot of these talents that believes in actually building a footballing career until it becomes the talk of the sports analyst would always love to train under him. Lets take his son for example, the young talent is doing great. So, there are a lot more other much aged perhaps under17 and all who would be much excited to train under CR7's watchful eyes and directives.

There are 19 days left on Messi's contract but he still hasn't made a decision about staying or leaving. Grin

I am sure this means he will stay in Barcelona. Messi will play with Aguero in the next season, he is a countrymate. Messi should be more comfortable playing with his friend in Argentina's national team. Another reason, we always heard a rumor of Messi leaving Barcelona in every transfer window, but it never happens. We can conclude that Messi probably tries to stay in Barcelona as long as possible. Messi may think to spend his professional career as a football player in Barcelona. Then, he can has a chance to be the next coach for the Barcelona team.
