I thought you'd meant Valverde wouldn't be a regular starter. But yeah you're right, most weeks in La Liga they're just going to dominate the ball and neither he nor whoever is playing at RCM alongside him will have to worry too much about what's behind them.
Aye, teams just seem to be producing really decent fullbacks (Arsenal, Pool, Chelsea etc.) but we seem to find it difficult to do the same! I think Laird was really highly rated, but injuries (iirc) impacted him quite a bit.
They're in the best team in the world, doesn't take much to convince players to join them.Madrid signing another 60m+ player on a free (I know they paid a massive signing on bonus to Mbappe).
The world just isn't fair
Yep absolutely they will lose that creativity so yeah I’d expect them to have to look at the midfield and the attackers to replace it
Around 26 years actually
Yoro says hello
Brilliant going forward, as good a passer and crosser of the ball as you'll find. A liability defensively though, yeah.
I think Ancelotti stays another year
I think sometimes they don't have a specific plan about how the player will play in a given system. They add quality players that can perform in different positions and roles and let the manager sort it out.
Not that great defensively and think Liverpool will bring someone better when it comes to RBs and ability to defend.
It’s Real Madrid, no free player would reject them.
Alphonso Davies just did.
Well you lot can tell Leny Yoro if he has something to say he can come here and say it himself.
Why do you think Alonso as manager would mean playing 352? He usually has Leverkusen line up in a 3421 or 4231, and he isn't insisting on a specific system. He would use a system that fits the squad, however that will look.
Ok fair enough but point being Real Madrid is a bigger club than Liverpool, the biggest in the world, no shame in that, says more about the player really.
