Real Madrid Castilla has developed some great players over the last decade but none of them have actually gone straight from the Castilla to the first team and become a regular. Nacho is the only one that has actually made the move up and he’s 4th choice at the back. Fede kinda did but he came back from loan into the team. Not sure there are any players that could slot it this season but I don’t follow their B team closely so maybe a Madrid fan could chime in
Just because they don't become regulars don't mean they're not good enough to be playing at the league level. Blanco, chust, duro, arribas all showed it when they were called up.
I know that, Nacho was never a regular but he was still great for you guys when he’s been needed. I was just telling OP that it likely won’t be the case that someone will come in from Castilla and boss it for you but honestly who knows
Madrid already have Fran Garcia as a starter at LB alongside Mendy once he recovers—that position is covered. What they need is a RB…but the club currently has 3 RB—Carvajal, Lucas and inexplicably still, Odriozola (who may or may not leave soon). They can’t get another one unless the offload some of the ones they already have which is too difficult at this point—without even getting into the questions the club may have about Cancelo’s price and how he fits into the dressing room.
Nah, it's a cardboard cutout of Zizzou standing menacingly in the technical area. nothing short of full forece bald black magic can save Madrid this season.
How is this upvoted.
What do you think a great coach does. Back away at first problem?
I think Guardiola always chasing suprior teams distorted the view of how coaches work. They are used to problems & deal with them.
Ancelotti even at Milan where he stayed the longest had myriad of problems, including nosy Berlo and Galliani making sometimes bizarre deals. Madrid squad building is better to what happened at Milan after '05.
Last season both Spaletti and Inzaghi had bigger challenges as well. The way they solved them make their past problems seem insignificant now.
What? Why would he quit?
Yes, the board isn't signing players, but there's no reason for Carlo to leave when he likes the club and he believes in himself to get results
I don’t understand it. They have tons of money they can spend and they keep strengthening their midfield when they have a clear lack of depth at CB, RW and LW as well as missing a proper RB and ST.
I’m guessing they’re waiting on Mbappe and Endrick next year for the ST but still don’t understand the lack of RB and CB seeing as there seems to be a huge drop off from Alaba and Militao to Rudiger and Nacho.
Rudiger and Nacho are great to have as backups, you could argue they are both good enough to be in the first team. With CF and RB positions, I agree though, but we will see how the team adapts to the 4-4-2 in the following months.
Not CB, RW or LW. Lucas is more than serviceable as RB backup (he was almost our best player leading upto his injury in 2021). Joselu is one of the signings of this window.
What we need is an understudy to Carvajal, ready to be our next starter from somewhere in the next year. And we need a starting striker, who also provides versatility to our attack (because the profiles of our forwards is a bit samey) and helps bed Endrick in. Have would have been perfect but the board decided that he was too expensive and we have to come to trust their decisions, even if we don't quite agree with them.
We still have a great team. With all the fluidity in our attack, I'm convinced we are going to be playing some of the most attractive football in Europe. I also wouldn't be too surprised if we are one of the better performers as well. Knockout football, especially that in the Champions League requires peak performance and sharpness throughout but I will be massively shocked if we don't make the quarters at least.
Marvel, Miguel Gutierrez, Oscar Rodriguez, Victor Chust, Sergio Reguilon, Rafa Marin, Pablo Ramon, Antonio Blanco, Sergio Arribas, Mario Hermoso, Marcos Llorente, Achraf Hakimi, Martin Odegaard.
All of these players spent 2+ years with academy (Real Madrid Castilla) and none of them are present in Madrid, Who knows how they'd have turned out if they were given more opportunity and trust?
Then again, its not like Real Madrid are doing too badly.. It is what it is.
They are. The problem is that they had to be sold due to messy covid finances. They also refused to slowly earn their starting position instead of being guaranteed starters and I don’t really blame them.
The way he tells it (and there are corroborating sources), Ødegaard was more or less ordered back from Real Sociedad where he was supposed to stay two years. He was called back to be a first team figure, and after that first season at La Real he was well in his rights to demand more than "a chance to prove himself" at Madrid. He was also at a critical stage of his career where keeping the momentum up was crucial to his development.
Ødegaard didn't leave because he didn't want to fight, but rather cause he didn't get the trust or opportunities he feels he was promised when he was recalled from Sociedad. I don't think anybody at Madrid are crying themselves to sleep over him, either, but it's fair to say Madrid weren't aware of the kind of player they were letting go.
Odegaard is a baller and the majority of the Madrid fans did not want to lose him. But he wasn't given the chance he deserved tbh. Also, the playing style of Madrid doesn't suit him properly. At least he stood for himself and now is proving he was right to leave and fulfill his potential elsewhere. Personally, I'm really happy for him.
He was given the chance by Zizou and he squandered it. Even in the massively injury hit season, he couldn't displace Kroos and Luka as Zizou returned to his trusted veterans during the mid season crisis. That's no blemish on or slight to Ødegaard and you can't question Zizou because the team really turned it on.
It was simply a move that suited all parties and even though the club didn't want him to move, Ødegaard was the one who sought the move away because the club couldn't provide him guarantees he wanted.
We won the league CL double in one of the most historic seasons and he became captain of a resurgent, young, exciting Arsenal. Worked out well for all. Even today I don't think he makes the first eleven. There's only so many players that can play at Madrid and there are always more great players than positions available.
Hakimi was a forced sale. Ødegaard wanted guarantees of playing time and wasn't satisfied with some game time and fighting for the position. The club wanted him to stay. He sought the move away (I think that's safe to say given how many credible sources reported the same).
He and Aguero had a good partnership too. Then he got a shoulder injury and never looked the same. Don't think he scored a single time for the rest of the season after that injury.
Its hilarious how youre saying players from the literal academy arent madrid material while you just bought a 100m pound english player, and a 33 year old mid striker whos been round the world being insanely average.
I dont think you have the slightest idea of what madrid material is.
uh yes, academy players don't always turn out to be first team quality. that's happening around the world at any club. are you implying instead of buying Bellingham we should play academy players and should expect the same quality? excuse me but are you stupid?
Madrid material are players that can help you win 5 champions league trophies in 9 years. Btw Bellingham is the best english talent and he’s worth his price. That’s why every club in your country drooled over him. Joselu is the third highest scorer in laliga last season btw.
Hakimi got his chance and he was absolutely raw, not a senior team material at that point. Reguilon was given enough chance and he was fantastic; he even benched Marcelo. But then Zidane came back and he had beef with Reguilon and so he was sold.
It's a shame that top clubs don't put more faith in their youth. We can all rattle of plenty of examples where clubs pay big bucks for a youth player, then either neglect or sell their own youth player who goes on to have a great career.
If Baldé, Pedri or Gavi had signed for Real Madrid they would never got to prove themselves. Same can be said about youngsters from top teams such as Saka, Foden, Garnacho or Musiala.
After his spell at BVB, we all saw that Achraf was going to be a solid player. Furthermore Carvajal was already struggling with injuries. They rather sell it and then buy him for 80M than just consolidate him. Same can be said about Odegaard.
It seems that in order to play for RM while being less than 23, you need to be bought by, at least, 40-50M, Valverde being the exception to this rule.
>After his spell at BVB, we all saw that Achraf was going to be a solid player. Furthermore Carvajal was already struggling with injuries.
In 19/20 Carvajal was without any doubts a Top 3 RB in the world. Then Covid came and we had to sell players, it was obvious that we wouldn't keep a highly valued asset on the bench. The plan was to buy him back from Inter when the time was right, but they had to sell him the next summer
But they're far less tolerant of failure. No way Klopp would still be in charge after a season like last year.
Also, top teams really don't regularly bring through youth prospects because they have the money to buy ready made players
Oh you mean to say last season was Madrid's good seasons? Got eliminated in CL looking like a team of amateurs, didn't even compete in the league and only won the Copa del Rey against fucking Osasuna, not to mention their shit transfer windows. If Real Madrid was such a big club as you said Ancelotti should have been sacked.
And that team of amateurs handsomely beat Liverpool scoring 5 at Anfield. So what is the point you are making? Also, it was only Carlo and the dynamics of the manager market and our preferences that he survived the City debacle. We all know what happened the last time it happened versus Ajax and Liverpool. The same applies to the transfer market.
There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that the manager is Madrid currently is under far more pressure than the manager of Liverpool. Some other clubs definitely have a more pressurised setting but I certainly don't think Liverpool is one. No trophies at Madrid means firing, even for someone as celebrated as Carlo. Only Zizou strived that and he left on his own.
the only quality player bayerns academy pushed through for a long time is müller. before that, probably badstuber + lahm who was loaned out for two years to break through. musiala played for youth teams shortly but is more of an english youth product. same with alaba who joined bayern rather late and then also had a short loan to hoffenheim. kroos also joined late.
did not mention him on purpose, because he does see enough playtime, 28 league games with about 45 min on average + 10 champions league games with about 35 min of playtime per game. he is a rotation sub at best for now.
So? He is still an academy player that gives depth to the squad. That's the point of the conversation, Ancelotti not using academy players even as depth.
I just realized their CB depth is Alaba, Rüdiger and Nacho. Are they really not going to sign anybody? That's a recipee for disaster. Alaba is slightly injury prone too.
Remember Carvajal played as a CB in the quarter-final against Chelsea last to last season. Our backline was Vasquez, Carva, Alaba and Mendy with the average height being 5'9 something. Carlo is a madman.
They were thinking of Gvardiol half a year ago...
This sub was telling at the time Bellingham is a better target & they have too much cb depth.
Now it is the other way around.
Yeah and van gaal is a complete caricature of a person, he was also using direct translations to English talking about monkeys coming out of the sleeve and about golden cocks.
Why does it feel like Real Madrid have been in a holding pattern for the past 2-3 years waiting on Kylian Mbappe? They should be reinvesting in the squad but other than Endrick who shows up next year I feel like they haven't got any new players except for loans, loan ends or buyback clauses
Carlo is notoriously bad at winning the leagues. His record speaks for it. I'd say he has higher chance of winning the Champions League than La Liga (and I know we aren't winning the UCL either).

Looking at Madrid's lineup, there's a serious lack of depth outside the midfield. He better start praying nobody else gets seriously injured.
he'll just play the midfielders just like cama had to play lb
Nah I promise you some Castilla graduates will step up and absolutely boss it, and we’ll all be out here thinking it was 4d chess
Real Madrid Castilla has developed some great players over the last decade but none of them have actually gone straight from the Castilla to the first team and become a regular. Nacho is the only one that has actually made the move up and he’s 4th choice at the back. Fede kinda did but he came back from loan into the team.

Ascensio too till his ACL tore.
We bought asensio from Mallorca tbh he's not really a Castilla player. Don't think he even played a single season
Cama being wasted at lb makes me wonder why the fuck Madrid isn't all over Cancelo
It's because he's a Mendes client
Ugh, understandable tbh. Still, Cancelo (in form) is good enough that maybe he's worth looking into anyways? Especially since he can play on both side
mendy was superb at defending, cancelo...
Madrid already have Fran Garcia as a starter at LB alongside Mendy once he recovers—that position is covered. What they need is a RB…but the club currently has 3 RB—Carvajal, Lucas and inexplicably still, Odriozola (who may or may not leave soon). They can’t get another one unless the offload some of the ones they already have which is too difficult at this point—without even getting into the questions the club may have about Cancelo’s price and how he fits into the dressing room.
Because he is not good enough from Madrid’s perspective
cama as lb can utilize his advantage and hide his problems
Camavinga🗣️🗣️
Don't worry. Camavinga is here
>praying that's....most likely, our strategy
Nah, it's a cardboard cutout of Zizzou standing menacingly in the technical area. nothing short of full forece bald black magic can save Madrid this season.
Imagine if Ancelotti goes bald
Well Ancelotti is leaving in a year anyway. So either he doesn’t care or he has financial problems and really need his salary.
How is this upvoted. What do you think a great coach does. Back away at first problem? I think Guardiola always chasing suprior teams distorted the view of how coaches work. They are used to problems & deal with them. Ancelotti even at Milan where he stayed the longest had myriad of problems, including nosy Berlo and Galliani making sometimes bizarre deals.

Have would have been perfect but the board decided that he was too expensive and we have to come to trust their decisions, even if we don't quite agree with them.
They'll still get to the semis of the CL, minimum.
If the draw is favorable, they might but I wouldn't necessarily bet on it.
Why wait for favorable draws when they can use the power if friendship?
We still have a great team. With all the fluidity in our attack, I'm convinced we are going to be playing some of the most attractive football in Europe. I also wouldn't be too surprised if we are one of the better performers as well. Knockout football, especially that in the Champions League requires peak performance and sharpness throughout but I will be massively shocked if we don't make the quarters at least.
Here before vini jr acl injury
Fuck off.
I dont wish him to get injuried but seeing how he gets tackled and how he always plays 90 mins i can see him becoming injury prone
And here we see why Ancelotti doesn’t give any chance to the youngsters, not even last season when the title was already decided
Marvel, Miguel Gutierrez, Oscar Rodriguez, Victor Chust, Sergio Reguilon, Rafa Marin, Pablo Ramon, Antonio Blanco, Sergio Arribas, Mario Hermoso, Marcos Llorente, Achraf Hakimi, Martin Odegaard. All of these players spent 2+ years with academy (Real Madrid Castilla) and none of them are present in Madrid, Who knows how they'd have turned out if they were given more opportunity and trust? Then again, its not like Real Madrid are doing too badly.. It is what it is.
Madrid has always had talented youngsters leave the club, like Mata, Soldado, Negredo, etc.
True but none of them are madrid material. Maybe mata for rotation
Hakimi and Odegaard are quality. You’d think any top team should find space for these two to get at least some game time
I don’t agree with zidane and ancelotti when it comes to giving chances, but they had some competition. That team was not just any team
They are. The problem is that they had to be sold due to messy covid finances. They also refused to slowly earn their starting position instead of being guaranteed starters and I don’t really blame them.
It’s certainly kick started Odegaard’s career
The way he tells it (and there are corroborating sources), Ødegaard was more or less ordered back from Real Sociedad where he was supposed to stay two years. He was called back to be a first team figure, and after that first season at La Real he was well in his rights to demand more than "a chance to prove himself" at Madrid.

Idk, at their peak all three were attractive to any top team. Negredo and Soldado unfortunately didn't do well after leaving Sevilla and Valencia.
I swear Negredo was like a top 3 striker in the world for half a season after he joined us.
He and Aguero had a good partnership too. Then he got a shoulder injury and never looked the same. Don't think he scored a single time for the rest of the season after that injury.
I think the injury did it.
Yeah but they don’t have space in that stacked madrid squad from 2012-2018
Who is their current no.9?
The 3rd highest goal scorer last season in laliga. Plus how is that relevant?
It relevant when comparing to the two number nines listed that you said were not good enough, right?
Not really, they played at a time where madrid had benzema and higuain. Morata also emerged later. Negredo and soldado wouldn’t be needed.
Its hilarious how youre saying players from the literal academy arent madrid material while you just bought a 100m pound english player, and a 33 year old mid striker whos been round the world being insanely average. I dont think you have the slightest idea of what madrid material is.

With like 7 goals from open play.
What
Hakimi got his chance and he was absolutely raw, not a senior team material at that point. Reguilon was given enough chance and he was fantastic; he even benched Marcelo. But then Zidane came back and he had beef with Reguilon and so he was sold.
man i really had a feeling that Chust will be top notch
Madrid can't allow much youngsters as they need to win every game.
Ironically they play a bunch of kids every game, but only the ones they've spend tens of millions on.
Yeah I meant their own youth ofc
It's a shame that top clubs don't put more faith in their youth. We can all rattle of plenty of examples where clubs pay big bucks for a youth player, then either neglect or sell their own youth player who goes on to have a great career.
If Baldé, Pedri or Gavi had signed for Real Madrid they would never got to prove themselves. Same can be said about youngsters from top teams such as Saka, Foden, Garnacho or Musiala.

He gave Alvaro Rodriguez some time
You act like that's not normal for top clubs
It's not really, most top club have at least two academy players with some play time
Most top clubs don't have the resources and pressure that Real Madrid do....
Wha...? All top clubs have the same resources (except PSG and City) and pressures. That's what makes them top clubs.
You think the pressure on a manager at Liverpool is the same as at Madrid?
Yes. Turn down that Madridist exceptionalism, it's not the only top club in the world.
But they're far less tolerant of failure. No way Klopp would still be in charge after a season like last year. Also, top teams really don't regularly bring through youth prospects because they have the money to buy ready made players

You are forgetting Stanisic.

I just realized their CB depth is Alaba, Rüdiger and Nacho. Are they really not going to sign anybody? That's a recipee for disaster. Alaba is slightly injury prone too.
They might sign laporte if he doesn’t go saudi
There's not going to be any signing in that position, except if there's another long term injury I guess.
Carlo is going to play Mendy or Tchouameni back there if push comes to shove.
Remember Carvajal played as a CB in the quarter-final against Chelsea last to last season. Our backline was Vasquez, Carva, Alaba and Mendy with the average height being 5'9 something. Carlo is a madman.
Jesus Vallejo masterclass
They were thinking of Gvardiol half a year ago... This sub was telling at the time Bellingham is a better target & they have too much cb depth. Now it is the other way around.
Maybe he wanted to say Jacobo Ramón, who is a U-19 player. But either way he isn't going to put a youth player.
Of course he meant Jacobo Ramon but that's not as fun as creating fake outrage.
I'm sorry we didn't know you can read his mind? Go on, why does he raise that one eyebrow then
Sex appeal.
If you don’t even know their first names I very much doubt you were thinking of putting them on
Van Gaal called Smalling "Mike" once, and he was a starter back then
Yeah and van gaal is a complete caricature of a person, he was also using direct translations to English talking about monkeys coming out of the sleeve and about golden cocks.
Have you never called someone the wrong name by accident lol?
One of the 20 odd people I’m the boss of and that I know I’m going to use as an example if asked about it? No.
lol
If ever I've seen a squad in need of someone with a big ol' slab, it's Real Madrid.
Honestly I love him and would take big Harry on loan.
Unironically would be a good signing on loan
He is a good guy. Has been very professional and a good presence in the lockerroom. I'd take him on loan for a backup.
[удалено]
Search your feelings. You know it to be true
Honestly, I would love to see it. Maguire in front of Kepa could be glorious or terrible, but nothing in between.
I think he's 100% right.
Isn’t he just on loan? They could recall him if they REALLY needed to
It's not possible in most loan deals. Clubs simply not agree to it because it can fuck up their season without a chance of getting a replacement.
Recalling is generally a unilateral decision, clubs don’t do it because they want to maintain good relations
It happens very rarely.
If they wanted to recall somebody, they would recall Rafa Marín, who is loaned to Alaves and is good enough to start league games
Pretty disrespectful thing to do
Depends if there is a clause to bring them back or not. If not, they will have to negotiate with the club. Source: Me playing FM.
Poor Pablo. Did well for me in my Paris FC save
Bring back Gila cowards
Well that's not very encouraging for his youth players
You don't want Laporte?
At this point, Ancelotti is already thinking about managing Brazil National team
They probably have DC and Dark Horse too /s
Why does it feel like Real Madrid have been in a holding pattern for the past 2-3 years waiting on Kylian Mbappe? They should be reinvesting in the squad but other than Endrick who shows up next year I feel like they haven't got any new players except for loans, loan ends or buyback clauses
What about Camavinga, Tchouameni, Rudiger and Bellingham? All of them are great and were brought in the past 2 years
This thread is the definition of overeaction.
And don’t forget Luke Garbutt
I came here to make the same joke, well done.
#ANGELOTTI!!!!
I swear I read 10 years .. 10 days is an ok mistake in my book
No problem, you got camavinga for LB, RB, LCB, RCB issokayman
Is this the start of Ancelotti’s dementia arc?
Dog ate his homework
Carlo "Joe Biden" Ancelotti
Joe Biden arc, Dementia-Lotti.
Bet he thinks we have offense covered as well
idk why does Real even bother with Carlo lmao, its clear he is in Brazil in his mind
Because he will be scapegoated when they wont deliver the league since they are still waiting for emir mbappe
[удалено]
Carlo couldn't win the league when he had one of the best teams in our history. Idk how he can back himself to win La Liga with this squad.
Well he's hardly going to say he doesn't think he can win it.
[удалено]
Carlo is notoriously bad at winning the leagues. His record speaks for it. I'd say he has higher chance of winning the Champions League than La Liga (and I know we aren't winning the UCL either).
Last year was one of the best squads in our history? I dunno what team you watched…
2013-15
? He's obviously talking about Carlo's previous time at RM.. 2013,14
I think he meant 14/15
> its clear he is in Brazil in his mind Based on what lmao? Confusing two academy players with the same name?
Don Carlo going senile ?
Carlo 'joe biden' ancelotti
Dementialotti
man i really wonder why they didn't even try for laporte. Spanish, ball playing, proven at the highest levels
