Post Reply Return to Clark's Pitch

I will do backflips for Curtois at 35M given we were about to dole out 100M for DeGea and 60-70M for Allison (who I like very much btw). I do think Keylor is underappreciated by my fellow Madristas but if we can get Curtois at that price it is a no brainer.

Rubiales can eat a bag of dicks. His ego basically ruined Spain's World Cup. There was no reason to fire Julien at that time.

I am against the Hazard signing. I do believe he is a special talent but not at that price. I would prefer to give Marco Asensio the time and let the chips fall where they may while we await Vinicius to take the #9.

In the short term, see if Carlito will take Benzema at Napoli for 35-40M. Run the show through Isco and Modric with excellent support from Kroos and Casemiro and start looking for replacements for Ramos and Marcelo. Finally, I am in full support of getting James back from Bayern which I thought would be impossible but now is on the radar.

De acuerdo amigo, unfortunately Ha-mez is at Munchen for now

I completely forgot to mention that in my first reply as he would be the perfect guy to blend back in the post-Ronaldo - it hurts me typing that - and IMO fits so much better then Eden (I agree with you; love the guy & want to make it work, but it's at best a 2-4 year rental) as another guy who can link the midfield, hit free kicks, and chip in a few dozen goals. As HTown mentioned above, we kinda poached both Courtois from Chelsea & Cyborg from Munchen for free, and while Flo objectively (2 year loan with buy back on *our* end was a deal ND's "leadership" could make) really, really messed up James, I think we'll survive after an ugly transition year in 18-19. My other major elephant in the room is Qatar - Barca tried to swipe Verratti from them and they instead ante'd up a ridiculous amount for Neymar, and given that Kylian is the one player I'd drop money for but he is also at his hometown (albeit second tier vs EPL/La Liga/Serie A) club and has owners who make Flo look like a vagrant, I think we may have to wait a little. With that said, I'll take the 2 best CM's in the world, Bale, 2 of the best 5 GK's, Isco, the most fun wingback (R. Carlos had a cannonn of a shot but Marcelo is much craftier) ever, and a bunch of young talent against the world. HMyNM.
