    Dortmund or Fulham? Tough choice. You’d hate to be the player that made the wrong decision and missed out on his chance to be the next Ryan Sessegnon.

    would Fulham be bringing him in as CB... because he plays LB too. what would that mean for Jedi?

    Give Benzema another year or two and bring in 'arry Kane as a short term replacement. Give the young Brazilian wingers a chance to grow.

    no idea what they’re gonna do now but I hope it means they aggressively pursue Tchouameni

    at least the Club isn’t imploring the fanbase to upgrade to the Spotify family plan so they can afford to pay a 34 year old striker so I guess it could be worse

    You think he's good enough to take enough playing time off Casemiro to play enough so he won't have his progression stunted?

    Liverpool were linked to Ibrahim Sangare yesterday probably as a Tchouameni alternative fwiw

    The assumption would be that he is Ream’s replacement at starting CB but we are probably bringing in someone to at least compete at LB. Jedi has great speed but his crosses go nowhere.

    if we are able to work a deal for Neco he will probably split time between LB and RB and share time with both Jedi and Tete

    #warchest?

    God no. Warchest would be an insulting lowball offer which would get declined publicly and then you convince the player to leave on a free the next summer.

    Don’t worry, he’ll be headed to Madrid in a couple years at the old age of 25

    Today? No, he certainly wouldn’t play over him in big matches but Real play 55-60 matches a year and there a ton of minutes to go around. It’s also very likely that at least one of Modric or Kroos (if not both) hang it up after next season.
    The other issue is Camavinga & his development. He’s slotted in to that role by default because there’s no natural replacement for Casemiro but it seems like his future is in a slightly more advanced/central role. Adding someone like Tchouameni would allow him to move to a spot better suited to his skill set.

    I get that completely. I just don’t see him staying in Paris the rest of his life and expect another fiasco in a few years because he will still be in his prime.

    I get that you’d want him signed ASAP but if he’s the guy Madrid want more for the future than now, I’d let him spend a couple years at a bigger club than Monaco that will be invested in developing him for a big pay day down the road. Madrid could bring in an older guy like de Roon from Atalanta to back up Casemiro for that interval period. I think Madrid have handled their depth and player expectations for playing time deftly this year and bringing in a young player with lofty expectations could upset that balance.

    he’ll move elsewhere eventually and it’s a 1000% certainty that it’ll be a total clusterfuck whenever he does. If he had just chosen to renew and be done with it I would agree but the way it went down & everything he said & did feels like it was completely hollow and done in bad faith to leverage one side against each other. I wouldn’t blame the club for feeling mislead and refusing to negotiate in the future. Hopefully this fiasco gives everyone else pause whenever dealing with him & obviously the Qataris are not to be trusted whatsoever.

    If they want a striker that doesn’t score and thinks he belongs on a super club, he’s their guy.

    You’ve got to be a massive club if you play your home matches at a Stadio Olimpico. Hertha Berlin and Lazio are prime examples.
