Interesting.... Looks like Juventus is setting themselves up to be a taker of Real's second team Morata paved the way And both clubs probably will continue to acquire Ex ManU players
That EL finale is freakin intense. 2:2 at halftime and could've easily been two or three more goals. Both teams running up and down, no slow moments.
So with Sevilla wining Europa, Spain will have 5 teams in ECL next year (assuming Valencia wins their playoff game.)
Real Madrid hires and fires the world's greatest managers; Real Madrid buys and sells the world's greatest footballers. Real Madrid expects major championships every year. When they don't win, managers and players expect to get replaced. --Not even Ronaldo is at peace at Real Madrid.-- I don't think that's any different from the expectations at Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, PSG, Juventus, AND Barcelona. Florentino Perez overdoes it, that's true, but not to the extent that some make it seem. Out of all the soccer evil empires, maybe Real Madrid is the worst, but they all essentially behave in the same way.
ManU made an enquiry about Dante, want him to join ManU this summer. Also, according to Kicker, Bayern has made a phone call regarding di Maria and is preparing an offer. Maybe we can send Dante and Schweinsteiger plus cash to ManU in exchange for di Maria, would make sense for both parties.
You are a very wicked person.SMH Of course you want United to take Dante off Bayern's hands. So you all can go get a steadier CB to add to the rotation. I hope LVG looks closer to home and doesn't make the move for Dante.
Heh, I still think he'd be okay in a deeper-positioned defensive line, similar to the one we had with Jupp. His troubles seem to come with pressure and standing higher up the pitch, so ManU could be a better fit than a team with Pep. PS Sent you a mail about my time in Italy, just saw your post in the Rap thread.
Give us Schweinsteiger and Mueller. We will give you di Maria. I'm still holding out on Otamendi. Hope that materializes. Are you guys keeping Gotze? Is the Gundogan to Man Utd rumor completely cold now?
No. Would be happy to take him at the right price, something like 40M. I sure hope so, we would be idiots not to. But the coach is a problem.
I'd even take di Maria for 65mil or something like that, we need to behave like a top 3 team now, small transfers won't cut it. Don't see anyone for less than 50mil on the market that has the potential to truly replace the likes of Ribery, Robben, Schweinsteiger, Lahm etc.
