You have to bear in mind how many players, good ones, they lost last Summer. They will sell to survive.

I think it’s more that there is an expectation at Real in terms of playing style and tactics, and I’m not sure if that blueprint matches his preferred set up.
He showed at Leverkusen that he is an excellent young manager.
Shouldn’t have moved to Real, but that’s easy to say when you’re not the one offered the most prestigious job in Football.
Interesting - I may have to go looking for detail.
Who, Slot?

Problem 1: we only have two CBs in the entire squad 🤣

Is he doing the same at Real?
He did an amazing job at Leverkusen and I reckon he'll recover from the current situation, whether at Real or elsewhere.
That said, my pick if we change now would be Glasner: done really well with Palace, knows the league and might bring Guehi too.
No, looks like they’re playing a 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1
3-2-5 is in possession and when they have the ball.
Ok but the base is 3 at the back at Bayer. It’s not easy to do at Real so will need time to adopt to their way.
That formation would work well with a lot of our team - we would just need the CBs, although both Gomez & Robbo would actually likely be ok as one of 3 CBs.
I think it would give a really nice way to rotate the CMs as you'd likely play Gravy, Macca, Jones for solidity. Szobo would be excellent but the team needs his pressing further up.
In attack it looks lot like the attacking side of a 442 diamond would look.
-------Konate--Virgil--Robbo----
----------Gravy-----Macca-----
Frimpong---Szob/Wirtz---Kerkez
-----------Ekitike----Isak----------

I think that is fair for our current personnel. If we had three actual CBs I think it could help level up our set pieces (forwards and back). It also relies IMO on one of the CM/DMs being a Fabinho type who will relentlessly cover the gaps for the attacking full backs. Gravy & Macca aren't that.
The rest can work IMO but relies on the full backs also having good ball control & retention when they slot in to make the midfield congested.
i already said i’d drive him to madrid in a couple of weeks
Just like Slot then?
i really really hope we haven’t missed out on him
I firmly believe if we had got him we’d be top and Konate would have played far less.
I doubt it given he was pictured in a Liverpool shirt doing his interview and had the pen in his hand. I'd be very surprised if both parties just agreed that it will happen regardless. January or next summer. He had made his choice.
i hope you’re right but football is littered with ‘i almost signed for’ stories
True, but he doesn't strike me as someone who would move to Bayern etc.
arry kaaanes been on the blower apparently
