'I am NOT convinced Kylian Mbappe has found his place at Real Madrid!' - Frank Leboeuf | ESPN FC

[@OGCHuila]

​@@jakepacheco547 The Cesspool you speak of begun with the Neymar Era and culminated with Mbappe. Having moved to the all new Poissy Training Centre; Paris Saint-Germain refocused its direction:- Valuing the institution of the club above any one singular individual, person or player. Désiré Doué (Young French player) confirmed that he only begun to consider a move to Bayern Munich when it looked like PSG were no longer considering him. Paris Saint-Germain's total fee for Désiré Doué is less than what Bayern offered. Since PSG was always his priority- he therefore passed his medical with Paris Saint-Germain today. Observing the Uber 1 Ligue from a neutral perspective- you want a French Club to win the Champions League. You want high quality French players in French clubs. It improves the value of the league and helps bring in more TV rights money that could have helped save Bordeaux (a very important historical Ligue 1 club) from being administratively relegated. Why you (A French National)...should you continue to help elevate the status of other leagues at the expense of our own. Thierry Henry also spoke along these lines especially when he was coaching the French under 23's at the Olympics.

Cr7 in 2009 was played everywhere and didn't really have a position same with mbappe, on paper he's a number nine, but in reality, he's more of a lurker who can switch on and score at any moment. Depending on how Ancelotti sets up mbappe he could just be a double man marked player allowing the rest of the attackers to score.

Real Madrid need a replacement for Toni Kross

[@sandilembatha9225]

or a new structural way to play. Toni is kinda irreplaceable if you really think about it. Pogba would've been the guy. we don't have a sniper that can launch them inch perfect from our own half of the field. but you're on the money. if we had Toni, we would've buried Atalanta in the first half.

[@Chip_Fuse]

​​​​​​@@sandilembatha9225 not just Kroos's passing ability, his composure to never lose the ball and the ability to make his teammates trust in him, be calm and take offensive action whenever he's on the ball... Jude, Valverde, Cama, Vini, Rodrygo and Mbappe are high risk - high reward players, they may lose the ball in a 1v1 but they will counterpress quickly and start again. Like, when they're on the ball, teammates are watching them to see what happens, and only when they win the 1v1, the others make the run or offer themselves to receive. When it was Toni on the ball, Carvajal was already making that run in the right flank, and Vini had already lost his marker and was through on goal... Maybe that's why Ancelotti wants Arda Guler to bulk up, so that he can play in the midfield. He's different, he rarely loses the ball and has the vision to start attacks, and also to finish them. Looking forward to seeing him play more.

the league has just started and you guys already making drama without superstars in football. Probably it's your natural behavior to critic fully on a first joiner team of a new-comer. It is highly recommended and a MUST for Real Madrid management, board of directors, coaching staff, people working in their club who are involved on the transfer-market to permanently sell who are currently out on loan to play for another football club, do not offer a loan with buy back clause or with a number or percentage rights, recall or return players that are currently on-loan by another football club to play for Real Madrid, ageing ((28) years old and above), inconsistent (due to limited playing time, never have played and always on the bench, poor defensively, not performing well) regardless of age, injury prone, those who are not comfortable playing in different position, that MUST happen on or before July 2029. We are referring to Modric, Vasquez, Daniel Carvajal Ramos "Dani Carvajal", Courtois, Alaba, Rudiger, Mendy, Daniel Ceballos Fernández "Dani Ceballos" Jesús Vallejo Lázaro "Jesus Vallejo", Francisco José García Torres "Fran Garcia", Diaz, Juan Miguel Latasa Fernández "Juanmi Latasa", Reinier Jesus Carvalho "Reinier", Nicolás "Nico" Paz Martínez, & Guler. Confirmed leaving Real Madrid as some will no longer renew, return to their respective football club that are being loaned out to Real Madrid and a few getting sold permanently with or without a buy back clause on or before September 2024: Rafael Marín Zamora "Rafa Marin", Kroos, José Ignacio Fernández Iglesias "Nacho", José Luis Mato Sanmartín "Joselu", and Arrizabalaga. Once they get sold these are the players should be sign based on their positions on or before July 2027. Right Back: Jesus Fortea, Josh Acheampong Left Back: Alphonso Davies, Joskol Gvardiol Centre Back: William Saliba Centre Defensive Midfielder: Rodrigo "Rodri" Cascante Centre or Attacking Midfield: Florian Wirtz, Franco Mastantuono Lastly Real Madrid must never offer a contract to these players for a RIGHT BACK position, that are inconsistent regardless of age, poor defensively, has disadvantage of height and strength (lacks muscles), proven already that unable to stop wingers/strikers in different leagues, injury-prone, has beyond 60 million euro's transfer-market value, and ageing 27 years old and above, and turning 27 years old and above on year 2027. We are referring to Darmian, Walker, Trippier, Di Lorenzo, Cancelo, Kimmich, Dumfries, Calabria, White, Mazraoui, Ryerson, Wan-Bissaka, Molina, Alexander-Arnold, Hakimi, Tomiyasu, Royal, Dalot, Porro, James, Boey, Frimpong, Couto, Livramento, Terracciano, Gusto, Bradley, Sanchez, Lewis, Fresneda, Gray, & Lima.
