La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

Didn't they just now bought Alaba? He is a good and experienced player and sure is a good replacement for Ramos.

Real Madrid have a good and experienced player. He has a long career because he debuted in Bundesliga when he was very young. Even now, he is still young enough to have about 4 more years at his best.

Yeah but Varane's transfer might open a hole so yeah they might need to look at it. Still there is lot of time and there wouldn't be much going on actively with the Euro's going on right now. Here is a report that Real Madrid will not look into replacement if Varane leaves: https://www.managingmadrid.com/2021/7/9/22569770/real-madrid-varane-transfer-news-replacement-2021

I don't think they will let Varane leaves. And if he leaves then Real Madrid won't find any replacement, it might bring a terrible season for them. Alaba won't be able carry the whole defense system of Real Madrid in a long season. A good defense system need to work as a system, with some good players. Marcelo is old too and his performance is unstable already.

If Real Madrid still let go of Vaarane, they will be in a terrible crisis. Now that they have such a squad, it is not possible to win the title with this squad unless a miracle happens. I don't understand how the new coach of Real Madrid will arrange the team. Only Benzema is the most experienced striker in the squad. At least 2 experienced strikers are required for a good performance against strong opposition. If Ramos and Varane leave the team together, their defense will be completely shattered.

They also could try to make one instead of buying. They have Vallejo and some more young CB's so Ancelotti needs to work out with that much only. I also saw a report a week ago about management saying "no transfers" to Ancelotti as they plan to save up for Mbappe or Haaland transfer in future. There were also reports about Mbappe not extending his contract and his contract runs out in June 2022.

There have been some rumours like Richarlison is wanted by Real Madrid lately. It's related to Ancelotti of course. He managed Everton and Richarlison was a part of the team. He is a CF but I can't say that he had good statistics in the last season. He scored only 7 goals in 34 games in the EPL. He is 24 years old but I don't know whether he can be better in time. Rather than splurging on Richarlison, they should look for top strikers first.

Richarlison is a pretty good player as well if Real Madrid was able to secure his signature.He scores goals,give assist,and also very energetic,but I doubt if the rumour is real.But if it were to be something to go by,then Acquiring Richarlison will be a very nice deal for Real Madrid.A nice backup option to Karim Benzima.Anyway,let's see as things will go between Everton and Real madrid.

Such super clubs as Real Madrid are used to buying ready-made players for the sake of quick results, although at times this can play a cruel joke on them By the way, there is information that the head coach of Roma, Jose Mourinho, wants to see Marcelo in the squad and will try to persuade the Brazilian to move to his club, especially since they already worked together from 2010 to 2013. Therefore, Real Madrid can remain without Marcelo, despite his seemingly advanced age Although I think that 33 years is not such a big age for a defender in modern times. As for Mbappe, it seems that Real Madrid would like to wait until 2022 to get the player for free.

Ancelotti wants to see Everton Richarlison striker in the team, as well as Sterling in Real Madrid's area of ​​interest. But if Varane leaves, you will have to buy another center-back in addition to Nacha and Militao.The team will have to do a lot of work in the transfer market in order to create a competitive team for the next season.

For Real Madrid attack, I think it's still fine, and maybe Real Madrid don't really must to think about it at the moment, because in that position there are still a lot of Real Madrid reserve players who might be able to fill every position in their current front line, but Anceloti should focus on their current defence, I think real madrid should immediately improve their back line (defense), because at the moment their defense is a bit fragile, especially after the departure of ramos, of course their defense leaves a pretty big hole now and I think anceloti should be able to cover the hole with a defender who does have the same quality as Ramos.

If we manage to leave Varan, then the defense will not be so bad. There is Militao, Nacho. And Alaba can play in the center of defense. But it all depends on Varan. He wants to leave and this time it seems his decision is categorical. In this case, Real Madrid you will still have to buy one defender or attract a player from the reserve.

It's sad that Madrid won't be shopping new players this time. It looks like they need big funds to buy new players. It could be that this step can make Madrid unable to compete with other clubs if there is no transfer of new players. If they lose 2 players at once it is not good . Ramos and Varane are starting to get along. They were always the first choice last season. Madrid should start hunting for Madrid players who are getting old.

@AakZaki Real Madrid will have to promote player’s from within the club, or hope to get rid few squad player’s but so far I see no one is leaving. Also another option for them would be is to target the free player’s, but as far as I know there’re aren’t any quality player’s available for free in the current transfer window.

Real Madrid is looking for free and skilled players. But they will not get such players now. They must spend a lot of money for skilled players. Real Madrid should take a loan from a bank like Barcelona and buy a talented player to stabilize their team. Otherwise, Real Madrid will not be found in the top 3 teams in the points table.

What Real madrid should be considering now is developing the young players they have.There are other quality players in their youth rank,all they need is to promote them to first team,give them playing time,and you will discover new genius among them.

Real Madrid can create some funds by selling some players also but I don't know if there are players who Real Madrid would like to sacrifice. If they lose Varane too, there will be no choice left rather than buying a solid defender. Even if Varane doesn't leave, I think Real Madrid need a good striker. Benzema can't do all the work all the time.

You are right. Real Madrid need another striker. Benjema has done exceptionally well in the previous season and he has not been injured. .So Real Madrid is in second place in the points table. But if Benzema is injured next season, who will be his replacement? They have no more efficient striker in their squad.

Well they have Jovic but he is struggling really a lot in the last 1-2 years. He went back to eintrecht on loan but didint play well. Now he is back in Real Madrid again lets see if they will keep him but as far as i seen he has 3-6kg weight more so i dont think he can do much

I believe that getting ready made players is never a "bad investment" in the sense that they are definitely not bad players, it is just that sometimes you overpay for them. Let's take a look at Hazard and Bale, those players were bought by paying really good amount of money, and are they bad? They are certainly not bad, hell Bale even won them an UCL but eventually they started to be not as good as they hoped they would be and that is the problem, they are not bad, but they are not as good as they paid them to be and that is an issue.

Even in that case, they are still getting a good amount of players who are good and even if not a world superstar it is still much better than almost everyone in la liga and this gives them constant chance to win the league and that is a very good thing. I personally think that they should continue to do that as a transfer method.

[CLS63]

I've heard a rumour like Real Madrid (actually Ancelotti) want to bring Richarlison to the team. Despite being a centre-forward, he didn't score many goals in the last season. He scored only 13 goals in 40 games in total. He's still 24 years old though. He can improve himself and be much better at finishing in time. As far as I'm concerned, the most productive age range for a centre-forward is 25-29.

So, rather than buying him now, they should make an effort for top strikers for the next season. I don't have much knowledge about their finance now but I guess they can afford one really good striker at least.

If a player shows a good game, then there will be a lot of bidders for the purchase and, accordingly, a large price, because we get an analog of an auction, so some overpayment is inevitable. Especially in super clubs, you need a result here and now and there is no time to fine-tune a player to the right conditions, so a fairly common story for top clubs is buying a player and immediately renting it out just for the purpose of fine-tuning. In the situation with Eden Hazard, a big role was played by the great traumatism of the player, although earlier this was not observed for him at Chelsea, and in the situation with Bale, there was simply no necessary human approach to the player.

[Luzin]

What Real madrid should be considering now is developing the young players they have.There are other quality players in their youth rank,all they need is to promote them to first team,give them playing time,and you will discover new genius among them.

But I saw the history of Madrid with players who were promoted from the youth team. Not all are successful, they still need to spend on experienced players. Indeed, in the Madrid youth squad there is Miguel Gutierrez, then Dani Ceballos, Brahim Diaz, Reiner Jesus, Borja Mayoral, Martin Odegaard, Luka Jovic and Takefusa Kubo they are on loan to other clubs. They are promising enough but it's not enough for next season. And I don't know if they will come back to Madrid next season?

Eden Hazard only need a healthy physical body to contribute for Real Madrid. He has all skills of top players and already shown them in Chelsea. His terrible injury record in Real Madrid is very strange and I can't understand. Belgium in Euro was affected by Hazard absence too.

Odegaard and Kubo are growing well and only Jovic has bad time in his career. When Jovic joined Real Madrid, he is not a young player. The pressure in Bernabeu and injuries constrain his contribution and damage his career.

Messi and Barcelona.
After many years of his professional career, Messi won the first title with Arghentina. It is the fourth final match of Messi with Arghentina and he failed the first three: 1 World Cup, 2 Coppa America.

This year, this final match, he won it. Congratulations!

With this national title and happiness from it, will Messi sign another contract with Barcelona? 2 year contract, is it possible?

Congratulations to messi maybe the last title together for his country. I actually prefer Brazil to win because I prefer Neymar's technique. It seems that is not enough to make Brazil the champion. Maybe messi has waited a long time for this title, even though it's not a world title at least he will retire happier.

I'm waiting for news on the contract, barca will bet big with a new contract or without him next season.
