Real Madrid Transfer Rumours

lol, Lass is worth well over 15M, that's a minimum, he is 25, and he has world class experience.

Lucky for us Conte really wants him, so maybe we can get a good price. but im not holding my breath, juventus is trying to low ball everyone lately.

Lass really wants to go tho, his best shot to play the Euro

lass is just 25?damn...it would be a good signing if melo leaves,specially if they snatch him for 15M

maybe, i read they wanted to sell lass first. Maybe they can agree a deal and the transaction happens at a later date.

I don't think Lass is going anywhere. There insisting on 20M!! Lass isn't worth 10, I can't see any team paying at most 15. I think this is just a move to keep Lass. (Look Lass, no one wants to pay the price you are worth!!)

You read my mind I also said, I'd rather keep him than to look for a replacement who would need time in return to know how to play for Mou :lol!:

Yeah well... Madrid never gets in the way of a player who asks to leave. That's how we're able to get people to commit to us despite our depth. If players thought that we played hard ball with them, they'd never take the chance.

So it's nice to dream. But Lass is 99.99% gone. This is just negotiation right now.

Gee Nick, you are full of surprises. Just a couple of months ago, you were saying Lass was shit. Note we paid 12M for him, why would he be worth any more today. He's a role player at best, definitely not a starter unless your team doesn't have a decent midfield and is forced to play a defensive game.

Sorry Sportczy - I think this is all about convincing him to stay (as a role player). If someone is foolish enough to over pay for him at 20M, then it makes good business sense.

lass is still shit, in my eyes but we need his skillset and the way the market looks at him is different th; Im very biased when it comes to lass, i might be very wrong.

we paid 18M for lass.

But Bill... when have we ever gotten in the way of a player who asked to leave respectfully? Never as far as I can recall. It's the Madrid way. It allows us to have the competition in our team because multiple WC players in the same positions will come to Madrid knowing they will not get boxed in.

Besides, Lass has already completely moved out of Madrid lol. He has no intention of coming back. He's just letting Madrid negotiate without interfering.

Lass wanted to leave last summer already, mou convinced him to stay, he offered him more money this time. we have been gentlemen, but he is looking out for his NT place, it's understandable. If he was playing for a different country he would have stayed.

We did when we gave Mou his power. Mou doesn't want him to go (not now nor last year). Mou will be saying sweet things to him if there is no offer. I was sure it was 12M we paid for him?? Nick say 18!!, In any event I still say he isn't worth 15 let along 20. So if we find a naive buyer, good - we have 20M to buy a replacement (or use it towards our transfer budget). But as I said, I think there will be no takers!!!

Another point we'll agree to disagree on. No way this happens. When it's all said and done, i think Lass goes for between 12-15 million. Not more unless we take somebody's unwanted luggage that we may need (Melo). But it will happen.

Fair enough - at least we agree on his value. (see Nick, I'm not the only one!!) Tell me Sportczy, what do we do once Lass is gone; do we get another pure DM or do we say we have enough MFs already plus we can use Pepe, Ramos, Albiol etc when a DM psecialist is called for?

Well, there is a difference between what he is worth and what clubs will offer for him no?

only reason mou might really want a dm is to man mark or stop a certain force.

pepe can do that against barcelona.

or a miracle might happen and he might get essien who is b2b,dm,cm and has even played as an rb under mou in the past.


he can find payers and go total football on them

aka put them in different positions and adapt to ur needs.

LASS isnt needed in this team and he doesnt want to stay here.

bye lass.

If it is a true marketplace, there shouldn't be!!!

If Lass goes, Mou will want to sign a replacement of a similar skillset. Perhaps one he previously coached?

An interview with Drenthe.

He recognises that he's not in our plans, but he wants to change that.

Drenthe needs to leave for good. Nacho has a better chance of playing.

Liverpool could offer 11.5 million for Gago.

L'Equipe reports that the Spanish giants will use Zinedine Zidane's French connections to lure the 18-year-old to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Rafael Varane.

Interesting we need a young CB that we can rely on in the future I say we go for him although he said he would only go for a club that gives him playing time.

french?
playing time?
in Madrid?


LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

You think he will get playing time at United?

I would actually be quite happy with signing him. Playing time is a joke though

Rafael Varane is gonna be a freak CB, superb athlete.

we need to figure how to get a hold of those young foreign players and develop them till they are in age to come in.

Rafael Varane is already much better than Albiol or Garay

I would love this signing

Buy him and loan him to a team within la liga
