If so, that's Nastasic, Savic and Mangala they've given up on after basically one underwhelming season. Not sure what else they expect when buying centerbacks in their early 20's.

 

It's crazy. I thought Nastasic was good when he was played too. Mangala will get better and had a good showing today.

Nastasic wasn't even underwhelming, he was decent and they still gave up on him.

Only a matter of time before Stones goes to Chelsea after seeing that. Exposed on a regular basis, 5 conceded already and playing catch up after just 2 games. 

 

I've seen nothing from Stones to suggest he will be good enough to make a difference at that level yet

Madrid on the verge of signing Kovacic from Inter, according to Italian media and Marca. €30m-40m. He any good?

 

He's got a lot of talent but I don't think he helps them win the title or anything. He should really be staying at Inter and proving himself a bit more.

By the sounds of it, he seems extremely similar to Luka Modric. Croatian CM, small, great little dribbler, excellent passer, barely scores... is that correct?

 

If it wasn't for injury Luka Modric would've played 150 games for Real Madrid in 3 seasons. He's played 129 and spent the majority of the second half of last season injured. The same period where the wheels fell for Madrid. Besides Cronaldo and perhaps Benzema, he seems to be the most important player. Is he there to take the pressure off Luka? Benitez certainly likes to rotate more than Mourinho and Carlo (at Real at least) so this makes sense. Isco will always get games due to versatility.

 

Never knowingly seen him play but i'm happy with the strategy.

Navas

Danilo Varane Coentrao/Arbeloa

Kovacic Casemiro

  Isco

    Jese

 

Better depth than last season. Need to get rid of Illaramendi asap.

 

Danilo and Navas are starting this season no?

Feel City are missing a trick with Mangala tbh, needed last season to settle and adapt and this season to kick on.

 

He's looked good these first two games. Absolutely manhandled Costa a few times yesterday. Can't imagine they'd get rid. Should keep him even if they sign Otamendi. Dimichelis as fourth choice.
