He will be the best #7 since Ronaldo.

by Arquitescu on Fri Aug 31, 2018 3:28 pm

He's an absolute nobody and will most likely remain one.

lol no 7 seriously Laughing

Asensio chickened out so this guy came in to claim it. Ffs Laughing

the confidence

by The Demon of Carthage on Fri Aug 31, 2018 3:47 pm

Clearly Perez wants to upset Ronaldo. He probably thought Madrid was going to retire his shirt Laughing

wrong, Asensio asked for it and request was denied. Mariano though Proud

It's a smart move and way to remove the myth out of the number by assigning it to a player we know has 0 expectation or chance to be that good.

Had it been given to Asensio, it would have been much more pressure on his shoulders to live up to it, to be the new Raul. That's the last thing Asensio needs, he is still developing and finding his way as a talent and player.

I like when my club makes smart decisions Smile

Both the above statement are contradictory :coffee:

Giving the number to Asensio will put pressure or him. But to the same to Mariano is not pressure but removing a myth for the number.

lol this is worse than us giving the number 7 shirt to Depay ffs

Not contradictory. No one expects much from Mariano (including himself). So you could give him that legendary number and R9's boots and still people wouldn't blame him for any lack of goals.

Asensio on the other hand is very talented and people already expects him to deliver. Giving him that number would put even more pressure on him and stagnate his development.

Does anyone recall three seasons ago when Mayoral and Mariano were with Castilla?

Mayoral was new scoring kid in the academy and has jumped several levels to be on that team, while Mariano was several years older, a late bloomer. I recall Turok saying Mayoral should be on first team, behind Benz rather than bring Morata back. Mariano was viewed as an after thought, while Mayoral, thought to be the better one was sent out on loan to develop.

Funny how things work out!

by chad4401 on Fri Aug 31, 2018 5:25 pm

Good signing decent back up with an upside hopefully still, meh don't care about numbers on a jersey tbh players shouldn't either, anyone from fans to journalists that equates a number with quality needs to grow up, yes cr wore it so what time to move on good job flo.

From Lyon's bench to number 7 at Real Madrid.

The ultimate "fucc you" to Ronaldo by Perez.

by halamadrid2 on Fri Aug 31, 2018 6:13 pm

Lyon's bench scratch

by BusterLfc on Fri Aug 31, 2018 6:17 pm

He was benched at the end of last season and the results significantly improved, he was also benched this season with Fekir not even back yet, he was not gonna start this season either as soon as Fekir was back into the team

Traore,Memphis and Fekir are just better options offensively, they were ahead of him in the pecking order.

by BusterLfc on Fri Aug 31, 2018 6:20 pm

It's not that he's a bad player, Lyon's offensive line is just really good.

by BarcaLearning on Fri Aug 31, 2018 6:25 pm

Wow, whats happening with Real, must be the managers desire to use the Spanish youth, lets see how they do, but u cant help but feel he will be one of the weakness no.7 for Real obviously... good thing for us Very Happy

Read that Real actually paid like over 20M to buy him back from the Lyon loan? Perez has really changed so much, in the past obviously he woulda just use that 20M as part of a bigger sum to buy one of the big stars...

Please don't remind me Sad

I really don't mind having Mariano as a back-up. My main problem lies with Benzema, a guy who wouldn't start for any of the CL contenders, but somehow continues to start for Madrid.

by halamadrid2 on Fri Aug 31, 2018 6:27 pm

So he started 30 out of 34 games and he suddenly became a bench player. He started the first 2 games of this season while having his mind elsewhere. Could be due to Fekir also having his mind elsewhere but lol to call him a bench player is a stretch even with all these hypotheses

They might play better without him I don't know but to conclude that he was a bench player based on the last 2-3 games of the season Laughing

If he was benched it'd probably be that petty Memphis' doing. Got jealous he was outshone so probably threw a hissy fit.
