in 3 years with mourinho

we won 1 league title, 1 copa (could be 2)

he was hired to win the CL, he failed

Already posted all my thoughts on this the other day.

What positions/who would you buy if you were Madrid and had 70m?

I'd go for:
-1 CB (dunno who) to put Ramos at right-back, and play next to Varane
-De Rossi, fuck Khedira off and rest Alonso when necessary
-Falcao or Cavani

First priority is a top top top class striker. Wouldn't necessarily need a CM provided Sahin can get form back and is staying at Madrid, because Sahin/Alonso/Khedira/Modric is a pretty great CM line up on paper, but I see what you mean. CB and RB is needed tbh, Ramos isn't good enough at RB and nor is Arbeloa.

But yeah, they need a striker.
 
Is that Kermit on BGT?

I reckon Xabi Alonso will go soon, but I have no idea where to.

He won't come back to us, and despite the Chelsea links, I can't see him going to another PL club. He also probably wouldn't go anywhere else in Spain but Sociedad, bit I reckon he's still got one last big move in him before he goes back to see out his career there.

Bundesliga maybe?
 
Fine Piszczek it is.

Hmm, forgot about him. Plenty of teams will be interested I think, doubt he's in a great hurry to leave, or Dortmund are willing to push him out for the money. Because of that, he'd take an unnecessarily large chunk out of your kitty (oo-er)
 
If I was in charge of Madrid, I would say fuck the gentleman's agreement with Atletico and meet Falcao's release clause. So what, 50m euros or so? Then I'd bring back Carvajal for 7m or whatever it is, and then bring Sahin back and start playing him next to Alonso/Modric until he bedded in a bit more. On paper, that's a fine team.

Why isn't Alonso signing a new contract?
 
Higuain is a good player and an average finisher. No way should he be at Madrid.

Benzema is a potentially great player but nothing more than an okay finisher.

And he never will be a "lethal" finisher because that's not who he is. He is the perfect 2nd striker that can links very well with the midfield and the rest of attackers.
 
No way is Alonso going to Chelsea. Surely not. Right?

There were some rumours he would follow Mourinho earlier this week. I severely doubt it, especially since neither Ramires nor Mikel are even fit to lace his boots, nevermind be a suitable central midfield partner.
 
Yeah, why doesn't Alonso want to sign on again? Surely for a Spaniard you can't get bigger than Madrid, would surprise me if he'd go Chelsea. Liverpool would be the only team I could see him playing for in the PL and I just don't think that's the right move.

Oh I know that, but considering his competition, he's basically first choice striker by default. Ronaldo plays on the left, Di Maria on the right because moving Ozil out there nullifies him, and of course he plays best behind the striker.

Honestly should just trigger Falcao's release clause and be done with it.

Oh don't worry, he will be playing with another current team mate when Essien makes his return for Premier League dominance.

Put him next to David Luiz, bro :P

No Luiz is going CAM. Mata on bench.

Purely from his facial expressions, it looks like he just doesn't like it there. He's surrounded by egotistical cunts tbf.

That could work, although if Luiz has one of his (admittedly much less frequent) brain farts, it could be catastrophic.

Would be an improvement on what you have without a doubt, but definately a short term fix.

If Mourinho was to take a Madrid midfielder to Chelsea, my bet would be Modric.
 
I was surprised to find out that Alonso was only 31. Thought he was 34 for some reason. Signing him on for about 2 years might not be a bad idea.
 
Oh I thought there actually was something other than Hitcher's Body Language Surprise!

Like you said though, why else would he wind his contract down. Combine that with the constant look of a City-fan when that RVP free kick went in, and its pretty obvious that he's not happy. Only question is whether its a club thing, a family thing or a personal preference thing.

He'll sign a new one as player-manager, book it
