For me it depends - We still need a strong CM
Pogba staying would have made it a 10 out of 10 mercato
Since he left and Pjanic came instead our attacking play (midfield wise) should be around the same - a bit weaker IMO as for our defensive game I`d say we are weaker because Pogba`s physicality will be missed!
Cuadrado and Kovacic/Fabregas would make our mid stronger even if physicality is still missing

Pogba had great physicality but he was not that contributory defensively as people give him credit for. Especially last season he was way more focused on the offensive side. He was certainly no vidal anyway in terms of attacking but also tackling and defending

I love that lucky son of a bitch, but no. It had to be Benatia.

OK, they can share the award

no worries, there is still about 90% of luck left in his tank.

he's just saving it up for the CL final.

 

[DIECI]

Its not just Pogba. It is Pogba, Vidal and Pirlo in 2 years.

and Tevez and Llorente

I love this obsession with James. I hope we get him if it is only to make you happy. You're working tirelessly to bring him here

I really want a James Juventus kit lol

Yeah I posted something about this early - if you compare James as a CM and Pogba as a CM on whoscored, the defensive stats are relatively similar - interceptions, tackles, etc with Pogba having a slight edge. James has better passing success, key passes, assists, goal production, and is dispossessed less. Pogba beats James handily in aerial wins, shots, and dribbles. That being said, defensively Pogba was no stalwart. He certainly was a physical presence, and was great in transition because of his ability to run with the ball, shield incoming players, but he was also very wasteful. Vidal was much more effective in that role.

James as mezzala would definitely work if we field Marchisio behind him. if we are short on CMs we could even field a 442 with him and Cuadrado potentially

 

[Stevie]

at calling the players we have bought just good.

Dybala, Higuain, Sandro, Alves, Khedira, Pjanic are just good players. Yeah, that's it.

Nothing wrong with saying they are good players and it has nothing to do with the point im trying to make.

The fact of the matter is we need to add quality every year not just replace quality or we will stay at a similar level. If we added to what we already had instead of weakening one part of our team to make the rest stronger we would if been in a much better position.

I know its not easy to hold on to WC players for their entire careers but we should of demanded more money for them and brought in better replacements.

We have just two days left to the transfer window!!!We were supposed to sign matuidi or james last week:sick:

Don't worry tomorrow we will sign James.

 

[italiacalcio10]

Don't worry tomorrow we will sign James.

Waiting to close Cuadrado so we don't rock the boat with Chelsea before we sign James from under their noses. lol

 

[Siamak]

Don't worry tomorrow we will sign James.

http://www.goal.com/en/news/14222/t...l-madrid-reject-james-rodriguez-loan-bid-from

president Florentino Perez is looking at a £60 million fee to part with James, who is reportedly keen on making a move to the Premier League before the transfer window shuts.

60m!

 

[DIECI]

cuadrado will be our final hit of the transfer period... don't expect more

soon the rumblings will start for Dybala to Barcelona or Real... they will be denied and in a couple of years they'll sell him too like Pogba.

 

[Stevie]

I would fap to Matuidi at this stage.

After Dybala Pjaca will be sold.

Most Madrid fans never want to see James play as a CM though he was that bad playing there.

Bernardo Silva podría ser el recambio de James

Tanto Chelsea como Juventus siguen teniendo a James como una de sus prioridades, aunque Zidane dice que el colombiano no se va.



El miércoles se cierra el mercado de fichajes y pese a que Zidane y James siguen asegurando que el colombiano se quedará en el Madrid, la realidad es que oferta siguen llegando y no se descarta nada. Incluso Le10Sport apunta que el conjunto madridista tendría una alternativa. Se trata de Bernardo Silva, el extremo derecho del Mónaco y al que también se le ha vinculado en los últimos días con el Atlético.
Tanto Chelsea como Juventus siguen teniendo a James como una de sus prioridades. Pese a que el técnico sigue insistiendo que cuenta con sus servicios, lo cierto es que sería suplente y es una opción que en las oficinas del Real Madrid genera dudas. Silva es un jugador que pertenece a Jorge Mendes y vendría a cubrir la banda derecha del conjunto blanco que en la actualidad no tiene un futbolista específico y que obliga en ocasiones a Bale a moverse por esa zona.

According to calciomercato.it moutinho maybe surprise name for colpo di last minute


And Mirror.co.UK said :
Chelsea move for James Rodriguez rejected by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez

But any deal or potential loan could go down to the wire with several clubs - including Chelsea andJuventus- now watching developments closely.

 

[Liviu]

Well, Monaco and performance have nothing in common so there could be a chance. They're in CL so most of the season's objective is done.
