La Liga 2018/19

Don't see Conte being the solution either. He won't be able to appeal to any players with legit offensive pedigree.

Probably means Hazard stays at Chelsea too :/

3 back to back CLs. I wish we had that kind of sabotage.

Claudius

So who is replacement? I want Wenger with Mbappe in tow

Klaus

Conte, Wenger, possibly Jardim. Lot of big names without clubs right now - not that contracts have ever stopped Real Madrid before.

I'd pick Conte personally. He's just the right manager to sort out a group of players who are a little short on top-end quality.

MistaT

You think Conte can attract talent though? Or will people forgive his defensive ways as they allure of Real Madrid is enough?

Feel like his rep is pretty low right now after his stint at Chelsea

Klaus

It's Real Madrid. Any player who isn't already at Barca (and a couple of those too) would give anything to play for them.

Coombs

Poch. Destroy this spurs "project" once and for all.

Claudius

Please let it be Poch. Let Madrid tell him "Deny us and we will never call you again!" Give him something to think about.

The player they want the most wouldn't like to play for Conte again.

Maybe. But the identity of the head coach is usually a secondary consideration for most footballers at that level..

The pay and prestige is the primary motivator.

QuincyAbeyie

I'd definitely go for Jardim if I were them. Conte has already shown that he goes public with his annoyance when not being completely in charge. Literally the first thing he said when Chelsea signed Morata was that he would've signed Kane instead if he could. I don't think Florentino is willing to give their new manager the kind of power that Conte wants.

MistaT

Hazard and Mbappe seem their top targets -- who else is even out there?

Mbappe leaving PSG seems unlikely and Conte feels like a big roadblock to Hazard.

Barcelona getting clobbered by betis

Real just got beat up by Eibar. 3-0. It’s difficult to understand how come they are so bad sans Ronaldo. They still have buckets and buckets of quality players in every position.

Come on florentino. Come and get pocchetinho

3 times back to back to back CL winners. I reckon the just don't give much of a shit anymore, especially after the departures of Zidane and Ronaldo.

Gurgen

Yeah, I reckon it's more of a motivational issue than missing Ronaldo.

jones

Yeah Ronaldo leaving does not explain why Varane looks like Senderos at his absolute worst for several months now. Also Eibar played the perfect game, Cucurella looked prime Ribery on the left wing.

Mirth

They were poor this time last season as well (although not this bad!) so the signs have been there for a while

Claudius

I think they feel lost without their superman. Possibly also a Zidane issue. It's miserable to watch.
