Marcelo (along with Carvajal, Kroos and Modric) are incredibly good crossers and Madrid would score a lot more if they had someone better than Benzema at striker

it would make me sad too. more realistically i think benz will continue to be phased out (not fast enough imo) and morata will solidify a starting role.

sadder is the fact that madrid probably can't keep all of the ridiculous talent it has in reserve. if they don't stay, it will be very interesting to see where the B team all-stars go

I'm not sure Morata would want to stay though, I think he thought he would have more of a chance to break into the team, but despite Benzema playing like a sack of potatoes, he still sits on the bench.

Would be heart broken if Isco left as well. Hope Kovacic starts getting more minutes as well because Modric is getting old and Kovacic is getting drat good

I've read that Morata's price is 70 million. I like him a lot, but I don't know if he's worth that much to a non infinite money team.

Madrid have signed some Brazilian wonderkid who will probably amount to nothing. Supposedly Barcelona wanted him and I embrace Madrid's strategy of spite-signings.

Stolen from reddit, but to continue the thread from yesterday regarding Madrid's depth.

GK: Navas, Casilla, Yanez
LB: Marcelo, Theo
CB: Ramos, Varane
CB: Nacho, Vallejo, Diego Llorente
RB: Carvajal, Danilo
CDM: Casemiro, Marcos Llorente
CM: Kroos, Modric, Kovacic, Isco
CAM: James
LW: Ronaldo, Asensio
RW: Bale, Vazquez
ST: Morata, Benzema, Mariano

A pity Messi is still only 29, because a Barcelona team without him in it in its current state is struggling for 3rd and no threat to Madrid.

Doesn't Messi have a milage on him already? He might just explode into a cloud of dust when he turns 30

He only stayed past 2014 because of their transfer ban. They wanted to get rid of him when he was 30 lol. Remember he's 34 now.
