    Danilo Luiz da Silva

    Who says that Danilo was/is the only option? RM did very well with Carvajal and Arbeloa as the replacement on the right back last year. Two very distinct players with different characteristics and 2 different age groups. A great balance in other words. Carvajal and Danilo on the other hand are...

    Danilo Luiz da Silva

    Not at all. As I wrote then Carvajal is the better player, younger (albeit not by much) and a canterano. Buying Danilo was/is by no means a necessity at all. It's similar to buying Coentrão for 30 million euros when you already have Marcelo. Sure your squad depth is exceptional this way and you...

    Spain

    Well, for the past 1.5 years he has been some sort of a cripple but I have hopes of him returning on the playing field and fulfilling his potential. If he does then I believe that he will have a big future for La Roja. I like that lineup as I would want us to play with 2 strikers. I am getting...

    Mats Hummels

    Better, yes. Much better? No. Not in terms of actual defending. We don't need any central defender urgently anyway. If anything we would need a central defender that could partner Piqué. Obviously Hummels should not be that type of player due to his similarities with Piqué. He is just a worse...

    Danilo Luiz da Silva

    See my most recent post in the Alves thread. Maybe the board were unwilling to pay 35 million euros for a player who only has 1 year left of his contract? Maybe they believe another option would/is better? Maybe Danilo was not willing to wait until January 2016? Many questions that are left...

    Daniel Alves

    Alves HAS to stay. It's as simple as that. We can't afford to play half of the next season with only Montoya and Lord Douglas on the right back position. I don't give much for the rumors of either Bartra or even worse Pedro playing on the position. Let us assume (best case scenario) that the...

    Mats Hummels

    A glorified, slower and much more injury prone version of Piqué. Let him stay in the Ruhr District or move to Manchester or Liverpool. He will feel right at home. No thanks.

    Danilo Luiz da Silva

    I think that people have missed something here. You don't become a fan just because you praise club/player x at a certain period in time. During Pep's tenure FCB were widely praised by practically everyone. From Maradona to Pelé. From Beckenbauer to Valdano. Yet obviously those that praised us...

    I am counting on the Lord to set the world on fire in the upcoming crucial weeks. Let alone next season. :lucho::rosell::zubi::bartomeu:

    A funny observation that I realized earlier today. RM might end up with Marcelo/Gayá and Carvajal/Danilo next season while we might end up with Alba/Adriano and Montoya/Lord Douglas in a worst case scenario. Just laughable really.:rosell::zubi::bartomeu:

    Xavi Hernández

    :lol: But they take pride in their backwardness. No need to hide it. Hopefully changes will occur one day. Posting the post again.

    Xavi Hernández

    An era is slowly but surely running out of steam. Xavi is one of the biggest club legends if not the greatest of them all. I would not hesitate to call him the greatest midfielder ever. He embodied the playing style and was absolutely instrumental in helping create the greatest ever club and...

    Thomas Müller

    Yes, because that was EXACTLY what I was alluding too. :lol:

    Daniel Alves

    You would not bet against this very sad and worrying scenario unfolding as long as this amateur board is at the helm of the club, would you? No, in all seriousness then rest assured that the current board or the new one will buy a right back this summer.

    Daniel Alves

    Replacing the arguably most influential right back/wing-back in the past 10 years will be a hell of a job. It's very easy to underestimate the current declining Alves but people tend to have a short memory when it comes to football. For several seasons in a row Alves was an absolute key element...

    Thomas Müller

    Are you talking about the horse?:lucho: He looks like such a type at least.:lol: Anyway he probably has the most punchable face in world football but a cracking player nevertheless. An enigma really.

    Luis Enrique

    For 66,6% of the users here it might just have been.:lol: Xavi and Iniesta are not going to last forever. Might surprise certain users here but it is nevertheless true.

    Danilo Luiz da Silva

    The interest was there obviously. The asking price must just have been too high. I can't imagine that Danilo would snub the club. Anyway this is by no means the end of the world. There are plenty of other options available. Some equally as good IMO and cheaper. Look no further than players such...

    Danilo Luiz da Silva

    Well, that was bad news. Expect them to go for Gayá next. I still don't get it. RM already have Carvajal. A right back on a similar level (IMO better), same age, same characteristics etc. A move to FCB would have made so much more sense for Danilo and the club. Anyway this is not the end of...

    Spain

    Missed the first half which in hindsight was not a bad thing. The second half was a decent performance and Vitolo had good debut. IMO a more talented Jesús Navas in the making. It was basically a second string team so I won't conclude too much. The problems that are present today have been...
