HanoiVillan Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 2 minutes ago, Zatman said: Combined they cost Real about 105 million purchased in there 20s That doesn't have anything to do with the point. The question is how good the players are, not how much was spent on them years ago (before a lot of very obvious transfer price inflation). Most of the players listed are or were 'worth' £100m if they were bought by an English club early in a contract. Nobody at all is arguing or believes that Jack Grealish is or should be 5x better than Toni Kroos just because Kroos cost £20m 8 years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not going well for him is it? First one his press isn't great but cancelo lost Benzema and for me the keeper has to come for that at a better angle, he's not seen rodrygo and got it completely wrong, it's the keeper more than anyone else Second one he pushes out but then doesn't fully commit to the tackle but its laporte who lost his man and that was because he got drawn in to another Madrid attacker who was also free because another city defender hadn't tracked him Its alarming bad defending from city who have a great defence, grealish isn't good for either goal but neither are his doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Lewandowski - his entire career combined transfer fee is £4.5m. Is he not a £100m player? Hence I take the 'spend' with a pinch of salt. There are numerous factors in play, and Madrid definitely have a team full of big money players. yep, they have a great mix between the older guys who they got in on what looks like a bargain and the younger guys who they have given time to and have developed in to world class players, casemiro, valverde, the 2 brazilian kids (with the 3rd on loan at dortmund) the value they've achieved is incredible but they cant help themselves with the likes of hazard, they still need that shirt seller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 He’s certainly at fault for the second goal - lets Militao get the ball in the box to pass it to Carvajal and makes a pathetic effort twice to block it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as he gets a manager who allows him to carry it, he'll start to climb in profile again. Honestly if he'd gone to Utd, he'd be a superstar now. Playing alongside Ronaldo as the only bloke with a clue in a rubbish side. He'd have them up in 3rd or 4th IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be sad to see Jack scapegoated for that defence falling asleep. His defensive weaknesses didn’t help them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
