Robben Schneider was pre Perez second term. Under perez the policy changes back to galactico's and it was what i just said. And they let go of robben to lure Ronaldo and make space for him. Perez Have a mindset that wants the best and wants to keep the best.

Is he markedly better than Mata or Mkhitaryan? The argument is no he isnt.
Carrasco is quicker isnt he, rather have him.
That's less than half what they paid for him.
Thing is Mourinho, Ancelotti, what happened with him here, and earlier this season Emery had to call Di Maria out to perform better. He always had problem to keep up his performance, when he has attribute to do the job. He's really playing out of his skin in that season trying to change Perez's mind. After being forced out, he wouldn't care less.
The point is Perez decided transfer. He wanted the shiny toy and not necessarily try to get the "best" for the team. How signing an injury plagued Kaka for world record fee (before Ronaldo signing) would help the team balance, by making space with selling Sneijder who was fecking good at the EURO? Robben can play on different wing. How is that stepping int Ronaldo's foot? If anything Di Maria Ozil were the signings to fix the mistake taken place when selling Robben & Sneijder.
That's too innocent though for madrid's intentions. They wear white but they aint no angels. Di Maria was pretty much a Perez cast out because he wanted wages that they dint wanna give and could get a different player for lower wages who would fit in the centre as they Got bale on the wing replacing di maria. Di maria's attitude is a huge let down at united and at psg as well .Similarly with james Rod, He aint making the cut in the first team because he aint good enough overall to carry the 80 m euro price tag and all this story is exactly planted to make it eaisier for themselves to sign de gea for us with having minimal loss to their squad and money. James rodriguez wont make the cut in Jose Murinho's team because his strenghts do not suit the way we wanna attack going forward with better passing vision.
Schneider and Robben selling was a cast out to make way for Ronaldo and kaka signings just before Perez took over. Perez is a father of galactico model in madrid and he is basically doing the same thing sir alex did with him By selling Beckham, James is a madrid want out as well.
First of all there is no logic in signing a inside player when we need a wide player so no he does not suit mourinho's plans , and Getting James basically means Loosing De Gea for the cheap with a player we do not need but would want because we want something to make us look good with de gea gone, Makes no sense. Madrid will have is very easy getting de gea and that's why all these signals and stories are planted in the media to soften our stance and make it eaisier for them .
We did play 4231 in some games due to the fact we needed more penetration against lesser oppositions who parked the bus so there was no reason for pogba and fellani to get exposed defensively , Carrick got found out against LIV because it was excellent tactics by a super mnagaer klopp who gegenpressed carrick to devoid him time and space on the ball as he aint a destroyer to beat that pressure , A tactics sir alex ferguson has used before on Pirlo and Alonso against Milan and madrid , This is how you nutralize players who run the game from deeper areas so it was no surprize as klopp is a brilliant tactician. Problem arises when we play attacking sides that's where Pogba and Fellani will always get exposed defensively . We did switch to a 343 or 352 as well in recent games .
So a 2 man midfeild was just adding another attacker to break the buses parked which also gave rest to our players playing so many games along with suspensions and injuries.
Only a 3 man midfield gibe us the balance we require to play against big attacking teams as we lack both work rate energy in midfeild relative of opposition teams to win first and second balls and keep control of the posession.
Mate Ronaldo was the best , so was kaka who later had injury problems.
I much prefer we give the chance to Pereira and spend the James money in players we really need.
James rod is the next under performing di maria and ozil, and a tool to get de gea for cut prize. Its very simple as that.
Thing is you seem to be very fixated on Di Maria case & Ozil. There was also Higuain who just went for crazy money last summer, who would do Real Madrid hell of good, but they just decided to sell him for Perez's new shiny toy.
Similarly with james Rod, He aint making the cut in the first team because he aint good enough overall to carry the 80 m euro price tag and all this story is exactly planted to make it eaisier for themselves to sign de gea for us with having minimal loss to their squad and money.

Beside these 2 signings, arguably Real Madrid were pretty bad at selling too. Kaka, Concentrao were let go for nothing despite originally they paid hefty for them. Di Maria saga is our fault more than they're shrewd at transfer.
I don't believe you ever watch James to question his creativity & vision. His failure as explained is being crammed into unbalanced team with not ball recovering midfielders, & being one of the 4 attackers. He's the sacrifice to bring the balance back to the team since this team needs another midfielder than a no 10 with the front 3 can do good enough from deep midfielders' support.
Again read before you write, and check on fact. It's Perez who made final push for Ronaldo & Kaka, Benzema in same window. Beckham case is not comparable. SAF had a feud with Beckham so force him out. It's not like we're 100% sure having better players to replace him when we sold him. As I said before, if he's to be signed, he is no 10. Mickhi can get back to the wing or we can sign another winger if the price for this is reasonable enough.
Real Madrid would need to meet our demand since we hold the contract card in DDG case. James wanted out and made it clear so it wouldn't help Real's cause especially we're not short on options.
Mate James Rodriguez does not suit the counter attacking dynamics we want to bring in , in Possession of the ball, He does not suit the strenghts for a profile of a player we need to upgrade our philosophy and break defenses in counter attack. His accelaration too aint that great that he can beat the players like matic or kante of bus parking epl cdms .
Contract means nothing if De Gea says he wants to go with Perez instructing De Gea to make it clear to united board. Madrid games are too easy to understand.
You seem to only speak out of your mind without doing anything research. Milan pulled an blinder on Real Madrid. It's well known in Italy Kaka was plagued with injuries before the Madrid move.
Same old every Madrid cast out is the same. Agree to disagree there unless you can prove you can see into future or at least analyze on actual performance.
Even with hindsight you still have no case about Perez always knows to sign the best: their club record for Spanish player Illarramendi was wank, Navas was not the best of anything, James was not the best anything when he's signed... Perez just bought players for his own liking. Same with selling.
But the point is that we dont need him tactically and Profile wise . We need more wide players than cams or inside forwards , He would take up the space Mhk Griezman or mata operates in . This makes no sense to make it easy for madrid to sign de gea cut prize , thats what exactly madrid want and we would be playing into their hands with this. Do You think We can make a team Capable of winning the Ucl with James rodriguezHave you ever seen a player himself issuing come and get me plea to man united ? a player Saf rejected to sign even for 5 m pounds.

Whereby we can reply to De Gea and tell him that we will only allow him to leave for £60m+. He's under contract, so there's no reason for us to sell this summer, never mind for whatever Madrid is willing to pay.
That true , Unless you accept to sign James Rodriguez in return which will favor Madrid and make it easy for them, A player we do not need and nither suits us. And we would again have to spend big to get another keeper. Does is make any sense?
Same question: do you even watch us play? We're having load of possession under Mourinho this season. It's bullshit James can't play counter attacking football. He just scored in his last game on a counter attack running half the field after starting the same attack deep in Real half! Shocker for you huh?
He doesn't have acceleration or the great pace for long run, but he has quick feet that left the marker on the wrong side buying him time to pick his option.
Did you watch Chelsea vs City game? Kante playing along side Cesc left huge gap before the defense that City with a declined David Silva kept exploiting. Tactic played a huge part in game too? Just because you see a Kante, doesn't mean a Silva can't beat him. Oh the same Kante was schooled by the midgets slow Spaniards. The same Kante & Matic was blown away by Ozil at the beginning of the season where Conte got the tactic wrong.
Point is if Mourinho thinks he's suitable, then that's it. I am not saying I know Mourinho's plan. I am saying in case Mourinho wants him, I support Mourinho's idea over those who can't make a good analysis on players' ability than using solely misleading cliche.
Yet, in same window SAF signed Bebe! So that argument is weak. SAF is not the best when it comes to Latin players. There were way more miss than hit with SAF on Latin players. If Mata could pick up EL & CL with that Chelsea side; Ozil was starter for reigning World Cup winner then anything can happen. As bad as you tried to make James to be, he was part of the team who won CL last season. He did start quite a few in the campaign too.
Good luck for Dave to play hard ball with us when WC is coming next summer. Mourinho didn't give a shite about Casillas at the latter's domain, you think he would back down now he's given more power in transfer matter here? He's not really impressive for Spain, and not as great this season for us as the last few seasons.

Please no. Another waste of money. The guy has got serious attitude.
I also don't see him as someone to step up when we're under pressure. I reckon he'll be a sulking prima donna type. We really don't need these kinds of players in our present condition.

Why Would Mourinho Think that way ? This is a Hypothetical situation mate, We dont need quality in central areas we need Quality in wide areas and striking positions in the attack .
Well the discussion is running circles now and way off topic.
True
True
Mourinho teams always build strong spine aka through central positions. He can adapt with great wide players, but the central area is always priority. It's clearly we're looking at second forward, no 10 position ever since Mourinho came with all these link Gabriel Jesus, Griezman, James, even Neymar if you consider how Neymar played for Brazil... I did say I am not knowing Mourinho's mind, didn't I? You're more projecting your idea than trying to rationalize/ reason.
Explain? Or I take it as you again didn't watch games but have a notion that DDG was great for Spain NT & he's as good this season as last few?
At least you realized now after all different (off mark) subjects you brought into.
I would say at his best he's better than both combined. Seriously, this guy was almost as good as CR7 in his first season with us. And CR7 scored more than 60 goals for us that season
The questions is, was that season an outlier, or his true level & would mourinho manage to get the best out of him?(my answers: true level, and yes)
Mourinho's far more likely to play him on the left wing and shout instructions at him all game.
Then why is Madrid so keen on getting rid of him?
Personally, a waste of money in my eyes. Anyway, his attitude means it doesn't matter what he can do on the field, and Jose hasn't been getting anything out of our attackers, so I doubt he'd do much better with him.
But the thing is, Madrid want to sell James regardless of whether they want De Gea or not. Add to that, selling to a rich club like United would help get a better fee. If they flat out reject selling James to us, simply because we are not involving De Gea in any deal, then we can move on and they are still likely to sell James for no greater fee. So in terms of signing James and keeping De Gea, we are somewhat in the driving seat, if that's what we want to do and other clubs, like Bayern, don't come in for James. Which may explain the recent reports of Mourinho asking for Varane or Kroos, if Madrid want to sign De Gea.
Easy there, tiger.
I explained several times. Real Madrid needs balance to accommodate the front 3. They can't go with 2 midfielders and carry James along with the other 3. He has good enough work rate as no 10, but it's not ideal for a team who doesn't have real wingers to take responsibility with defensive work.
James having same Ozil & Di Maria's type of attitude is a myth. This guy is annoyed that he's not having enough game time & actively seeking the transfer out himself. He showed enough desire playing the key player for his country. Big difference compare to Ozil who looks the same everywhere or Di Maria who looked like above the competition but not actually produced.

We're not keen. He wants to go, different thing.
As for why he doesn't play...it was said he had bad attitude with benitez. With Zidane, nobody can explain it, really. Personal opinion? In 2014/15, he was incredible, our second best player. You know who was really bad instead? Bale...
Nope.... Isco is much much better.
As I said, I'd still go for Bernardo Silva, who's 4 years younger with a much higher ceiling, who's already a superior player imo.
Given that it's Madrid, wouldn't be surprised if how much they cost was similar too.

That's Because he had a squad built to sit deep and counter attack with great defenses until now before united ,
Our defense can not take pressure of letting the opponents having the ball and keep defending all the time and hit on counter and score , so we have to be proactive and press the opponents high and block their creativity and win the ball back quickly in midfiled than we need the ability to break defenses in posession with come vertical passing and counter attacking dynamics in the final third of the pitch. Pogba likes to get involved in attack and around the box too so a Cam eats his space and goals from the midfiled in a 2 man midfeild sitting deep. While as Griezmann's versatitily is better off in all positions and havea better ball control passing vision and ability to penetrate defenses. And martial's strenghts also dont lie in being a wing player as he is more of a striker or a left forward . By Accommodating a cam we are not making use of the squads strenghts of players like Fellani and herrera Lingard mata and putting added pressure on our defense to defend without making errors which they cant do that well .
Our Squad is built to play a Mix of Posessionan Conter attacking football in a proactive way rather than Counter attacking football in a Reactive way. And Mourinho can not change that given that thisis a lvg built team.
Oh my, James left foot is quite underrated in here. He has a great raw talent, just needs the right coach to get him firing.
For 30m it's well worth the risk
Fast counter attacking systems doesn't require players with pace. You need bodies in the attacking side for the transition to happen. Of course it helps that a support player has good pace but not all players are runners in such or any other systems. You need pivots or players that receive and unlock opposition. That's where James is so good.
He is much superior to Mata but very different to Mikhi. The latter compliments James well since he is a runner type that gets into the box. James is a pure 10.
You are too worried about tactics.I think that a good midfielder to assist can be great for United,James or another one.
Anyway I don't rate Mata so highly.
You said that you would sign wingers,for example who?,can't Rashford or Mkhitarian play there?
