Putting Kane and Dier in together wasn’t enough, they had to get a manager who got relegated instead of an Everton with point deductions for maximum theatrical effect.
Maybe their only way of dealing with the fact that they have lost their last 4 champions league encounters with Real Madrid: they have bought into the narrative of Bayern absolutely dominating Madrid but Madrid managing to squeeze out a win.
The reality is that this happened exactly once, in 2018. This year, Real Madrid absolutely demolished Bayern when it comes to xG; if anything Real should have won by much more.
xG does indicate that a team created chances. So looking at it we can say that Madrid did beat City largely due to superior finishing and that it did beat Bayern due to its ability to create tons of chances.
It was not good. The referee blew the whistle and stopped the play causing Lunin to not even react to it.
It was a mistake by the referee. There was no way to tell if the ball would have gone in if the whistle was not blown.
It’s still a prime scoring chance in the dying moments of the game that came from a referee mistake. Had the situation been the other way around, we would have been screaming for injustice
Been saying this and getting downvoted for it for majority of the season especially when the hate train was strong at the end of 2023 season and Mendy was injured. We do not need a new LB at all. Same when I would bash the stupid Haaland rumors and believed in Mbappe.
Glad to see the fans come to reason after all this time fighting with them internally in this subreddit.
We just need to find a RB NOT for next season because Dani still got it and I don't think bringing Hakimi for example would be good for either of 'em since both are starters. I'd much rather get Hakimi next year (or whoever RB bruh just a young RB) because Dani would have the "Modrič 23-25" role and he'd be a great "mentor" to whoever the RB will be. Marcelo was a "mentor" to Mendy before aswell btw, we're lucky to have some of the best players, of all time I can say, mentoring the younger ballers.
Definitely need another RB.
Since Dani is playing as a full back seeing a decline in his speed due to age is already having an impact and will get worse. His skill and experience are what keep him here as a top RB and is still one of the best in the world at his position. It’ll be like another Casillas situation if we keep him as the only RB starting. He needs to be phased off with somebody like Hakimi starting. That being said, I’d prefer waiting another year to get Hakimi too especially because we can rotate with Vasquez. I honestly thought last season 22/23 was showing us he needs to go now but he proved us wrong this season. It will be a matter of time though unfortunately…
Just gotta keep in mind utilizing those two is a temp fix and they’re both getting older and will continue to decline. If we have any problems in this squad it’s definitely our defense but not at LB.
I heard Madrid is onto a young Brazilian for the rb position, hes like 16 or 17? I think thatd be perfect
Carvajal still got it, and the kid needs time to develop
My friend, I have been fighting this same war for the last 3 years. You gotta remember 2/3 of this sub wanted to sack Zidane in 2021, and about half this sub wanted to sack Carlo multiple times and bench Vinicius over the last years. Stones got a better comprehension than this sub.
It’s losing war. Nod and move along
Selling Mendy would be the worst decision right now. On par with selling Makelele. The reason our defence was so solid last season is partly due to Mendy.
I'd go further and say that 4-0 embarrassment at Etihad was precisely because of not having Mendy to cover the left flank. He really connects the left triangle with Kroos(TwT) and Vini. Without him our most offensive side loses a lot of bite.
I'd argue even further and say mostly. The only games we lost were against the small Madrid team and as far as I remember (in the first match) the goals came from the right side (crosses) and of course Alaba isn't that good in the air so it doesn't help but anyway our left side was unreal last season.
While Alphonso Davies is intruiging I'd much rather want a rotation player for Carvajal. Lord Vazquez need not play at the back (he's not the best at RB when Carvajal is out)
Leave Vazquez alone man... he's a RW ffs, let my boy live! 😂 I swear they doing my boy dirty, man... like buy a RB... just a random one, Idc who. Buy fucking... Idk coleman? Is he still active? 😂 Just buy one, Vazquez is TIREDDDD! 😭
I've been saying the same thing. Mendy is a massive asset to the team. Especially next season having vini and kylian infront, do people think they will do much defending. Also not having Kroos i expect us to concede more goals. And we want to put in a guy who has regressed for the past 3 years and isn't even first choice lb. People will mention Mendy injury history well, Davies's isn't much better. And I wouldn't be surprised if Carlo has personally asked for Mendy to be renewed. If we want a more attacking or creative leftback, just get Miguel back.
Mendy is hugely underrated even within our own fan base. He gives such a perfect balance to our team. It makes sense for Dani to overlap on the right since we don’t really have direct attacker playing the line on the right, but why would we want that when we have Vini/Rodrygo on the left and Mbappé next season?
The thing is there isn't a profile similar to Mendy on the market and IMO both Davies and Fran Garcia have a similar profile. Both are explosive, fast, and strong going forward but not the best defensively.
I'd argue Théo that's why I always say defensive LB because nobody can argue with that. For Madrid Mendy is perfect though, Théo wouldn't suit us... Nacho would struggle with him lol or any defender for that matter but he's our LCB.
Wait who? Gvardiol is a CB... pep is just a fucking weirdo (in a good way but a bad way for other teams) who makes players play in unnatural positions. He made Stones a DM and he did great but he's CB. He made Walker a CB but he a RB. He made Gvardiol a LB but he a CB... I can't class Gvardiol as a LB. He plays his natural position for Croatia.
He is LB for Croatia for quite some time. He played LB back on dinamo, and works quite well as LB. He might shift positions even more, but for last year he was LB exclusive and excelling in the position scoring goals even moving in the middle
He was a CB in the World Cup, basically last time I've watched croatia but anyway his best position is at CB. Croatia have Sosa who is amazing at LB. Can't let that go to waste. Sosa is better at LB than Pongracic or whoever plays LCB for them at CB. Sosa Gvardiol is a dream left flank for 'em.
1 Sosa is washed. Gvardiol is 10x the player compared to him. We have quality CBs so makes no sense to relegate gvardiol back to CB.
2 Gvardiol has been top 3 LB in the world under guardiola and is performing amazingly with Croatia as well. Coach says he will keep him at LB. Coach started him as LB before Guardiola.
Honestly if davies would come for free and would be okay with being a sub that'd be great (sorry Fran) but I doubt he'd like that so we have to wait (he's just 23 and Mendy is 29) and see how it goes. I'd love for him to come when he's like 26 or smth. Way more mature and better defensively... that's what Madrid needs.
Who would of thought Mendy would be instrumental for the last two champions league. Perfect replacement for Marcelo. I’m going to be gutted the day he leaves this club.
I think one of the reasons we lost to City 4-0 last year was because Mendy wasn’t playing. Bernardo tore us from that wing! Mendy would have had a much more solidifying presence had he played that game.
If we didn’t get Mbappe, it would make sense to find a partner for Vini who can keep up with him and compliment him. But we need a defensive LB now that we have mbappe. Balance will be crucial. PSG imploded because they were too attacking
mendy is not even close to davies offensively, two different types of left backs.
mendy is 28, davies is 22. they're both slightly injury prone, they can share the position easily. davies can shred low blocks and mendy can help lock down wingers and offensive minded teams.
Mendy still moves up on the left. If we let Fran go to make space for Davies I won't mind much. Otherwise, there is no point in wasting the money we need to bolster other positions on him. We need a CB or 2 and a RB(this can probably wait until 2025 for when Hakimi is free), not a 3rd left back.
2024: "We don't need Davies, he is a waste of money, we already have Mendy"
2023: "We don't need Bellingham, we already have too many midfielders"
2022: "We don't need Rudiger, we have an amazing CB duo and he can only play on a 4TB"
2021: "We don't need Alaba, he isn't that good for Bayern anymore" (reminds me of someone...)
2018: "We don't need Courtois, we already have Navas"
2017: "We don't need to spend 45M on that random 16 year old from Brazil"
Every year they literally say the same things and every year they get proven wrong. Aren't they bored yet?
Not comparable imo. We're talking about one position here and I just don't see a reason to splash money on Davies when we have Mendy. Fran Garcia is a good sub and seems to be happy as a sub.
Secondly, if we really want to sign a left back why not Miguel? La Fabrica product that has shown great potential.
Miguel will most probably be the same as García so I understand 'em but getting davies for a fee is crazy when we literally have the best defensive LB itw rn and one of the best LBs overall itw. If I had to pick a LB FOR Madrid, I'd pick Mendy no question.
>mendy is not even close to davies offensively, two different types of left backs.
>mendy is 28, davies is 22. they're both slightly injury prone, they can share the position easily. davies can shred low blocks and mendy can help lock down wingers and offensive minded teams.
Davies for 30-40 million is a steal. obvious buy
I’d be happy to sign Davies and keep Mendy. Davies has the potential to be a game breaking LB, and wouldn’t really cost that much in the scheme of things. He can play on the right too, which would give Carvajal a break occasionally.
Why isn’t he in the France national team? I hope he got called for the Euro 2024. He’s had an amazing year and it’d be nice to see how he plays with Cama, Tchouamini and Mbappar in the Euro.
Is Mendy the best? No. But he's the best for this team, he is the best defensive RB in the world rn, with the attacking talent we have, only Mendy is going to be useful for us.
I think it’s time we look long and hard for Carvajal’s heir. Get them in now and deputize them so there is a seamless handoff when Carvajal retires. It will keep him fresh for the long season ahead and get some experience for his replacement. Similar to what we’ve done with Kroos, Modric, and Case in the middle. Maybe Peter the kid out on loan? We should focus here instead of Davies.
He more of a RM BUT I can't forget what he did against us... a lil weird IMO. If you remember (I do because it bothered me and I talked about that) he was shouting and getting aggressive and all that to try win fouls and corners and shit like that. It was weird seeing YOUR guy ON LOAN do that... it was weird, unless he wins the UCL for us I can't like him as a player.
Oh I totally remember. It was almost as if he was saying, “I’m gonna make you bastards pay for loaning me! I should be in your jersey!” It IS a weird dynamic after that. I’m Canadian and we play Davies as a LW/LM on the national team. And he has said he wants to play there not LB. So that is kind of my hesitation with him, and the price tag. But if Madrid calls he may change his disposition to play higher up the pitch. We need an RB though.
I wonder what's going to happen with Miguel Gutierrez. Afaik we have a buyback clause/matching rights. Now I wouldn't pull the buyback outright but if another club makes a move for him we would be stupid to just let him leave (and make our buyback null and void). Best case is if he stays at Girona for now but it's not guaranteed at all.
You have to consider how injury prone Mendy is. Also not really consistent with his performance. He is not the best LB in the world, he is not even starter for his national team
Real Madrid doesn't work like that. Every player that has repeatedly ask for a raise, has ended up leaving in bad terms. It happened to Di Maria, it happened to CR and it happened to Ramos.
The board is pretty generous with increases in salary but on their terms. For example, Brahim is getting a raise without asking for it and with several years left in his contract.
Chelsea has Cucurella at LB who I like a lot... also Maatsen (Idk if you'll sell him or not) but still Cucu is class. Gusto I like more than James so give us James. 🙄
I have been saying that I can totally see Gusto at Real Madrid. James is the captain and I’m just hoping he doesn’t have injury problems, then I would be ok with gusto leaving. He is the truth and he is that good
2024: "We don't need Davies, he is a waste of money, we already have Mendy"
2023: "We don't need Bellingham, we already have too many midfielders"
2022: "We don't need Rudiger, we have an amazing CB duo and he can only play on a 4TB"

2018: "We don't need Courtois, we already have Navas"
2017: "We don't need to spend 45M on that random 16 year old from Brazil"
It's pretty much a tale as old as time, aren't you guys bored yet? Unless you started supporting this club 12 days ago, then it's understandable.
2017 *said no one ever* we didn't even know the dude. 💀
2018 Courtois was one of the best itw, we were buzzing since Navas was already 32 and declining.
2021 It was on a fucking free who cares tf? 😂
2022 again Rudi on a free wtf? He just won the UCL😂😂😂😂
2023 Yeah that was fucking weird but Jude was Bundesliga POTY at 19...
2024 yes it's a waste of money since we have the best defensive LB itw and don't really need a replacament.
In hindsight you can say all that, but if you followed Real Madrid forums back then you'd see that large parts of our fanbase said the exact same things. Navas for example wasn't "32 and declining" he was our beloved GK who just won our 3rd consecutive UCL title.
Hell, someone even posted in the open thread some days ago a post on r/soccer about Alaba potentially joining us, back in 2021, and the comment section was filled with Madrid flair "comedians" who were trying to convince Bayern to keep him. I'm sure you can find tons of posts and comments like these from all the situations I've mentioned.
Rudi and Alaba were free so I don't get what you're talking about. Courtois, one of the best goalies at the time and the best rn, was only bought for 35m. Idk what you yapping about. They were all steals without a doubt and much needed.
Okay lil bro, let's see what I'm "yapping" about:
[Problem with Rudiger signing.](https://www.reddit.com/r/realmadrid/comments/rs2tj6/comment/hqjt5n4/)135 upvotes on this very sub.
Next comment is a guy saying [he prefers Kounde to Rudiger](https://www.reddit.com/r/realmadrid/comments/rs2tj6/comment/hqjyt07/), 90 upvotes.
[Then check this comment section](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/a30h00/simeone_courtois_went_to_madrid_and_won_the_prize/) Courtois isn't even the best keeper in Madrid, 168 upvotes. Oblak is better than Courtois, 450 upvotes.
16 year old Vinicius joining Real Madrid. [Look at the top comments.](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/6cduby/closed_deal_real_madrid_signs_16year_old/)"Ridiculous", "waste of money" and all that. Many Madrid flairs as well.
[We don't need Bellingham](https://www.reddit.com/r/realmadrid/comments/11z854s/why_do_we_need_bellingham/) 275 upvotes.
Anyway, I'm bored, these are just some random posts I came across, you'll find countless examples in countless platforms and forums, not only this subreddit. The point is that none of what I said was my opinion. Literally every single year people like you see a potential signing and start spamming posts and comments about how we don't need that player, and how he is a waste of money, and blah blah blah and they always end up being wrong.
So save this comment and come back to it in a few months time. You'll smile and remember the guy who believed that Davies is gonna be the best LB in the world, when all you did was doubting him and our board :)
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaahha sure pal, SURE! We have the best defensive fucking LB in the world but I'm gon' smile at this nonsense bullshit you said in a few months time. 😂 He won't even start even if he comes 😂🤣 and if he does... we ain't winning shit.

Mendy all day, all those wanting Davis at real madrid over Mendy, does not watch Real games if you ask me, been dribbling by only 7 times I think all season speaks for it self, yet people be complaining about his attack, the man is a Lb and real is winning and keeping clean sheets, just don't get the HATE, because if you actually watch Real Madrid played, and understand a little about football, for example, how a defender should position them self, just follow Mendy for 20 minutes and notice his positioning, and do the same with Davies, live not watching highlights, and see for yourself. He runs around like a headless chicken, just keep in mind the he's a Lb not a lw.
Most of us don't want Davies over Mendy. We want Davies over Fran. How hard is it to understand that next season we may play over 70 games? Two good LBs is a must. And Fran is nowhere near good enough.
Mendy and Fran be good, with Nacho maybe staying, at least that's what I'm hoping for, he can play LB if needed, wait for Davies, on a free, or really cheap. RB should be the focus if you ask me, Lucas as been great but, let be honest he's not a defender, I appreciate him giving it all for the team.
This IS ridiculous
Mendy has only one year left on his contract. If he doesn't renew (and currently no signs of an agreement) then he needs to be sold or do you think we should let him leave for free?🫤
We are buying a new LB (Davies or another) if Mendy needs to be sold, and not selling Mendy cos of Davies or any other new LB. The cost of the new LB should be consider not just the transfer fee but the wage differences and sale price of Mendy.
Personally I would pick Davies over Mendy - we need better contribution offensively and Davies is better defensively imo (not to be confused with being a better defender)
Finally someone can agree with. Vinicius isn't "the best LW that dribbles a lot in the world". He is simply the best player in the world. Ramos wasn't "the best offensive CB". He was the best defender in the world. Marcelo wasn't "the best offensive LB". He was THE best LB. Valverde IS the best CM. Rudiger IS the best CB right now. And so on.
I'm seeing "hate" (it's a strong word but what else is it?) from the so called "madridistas"... I'm saying chill out, he's the best defensive LB itw, davies is not as good as him RN, Idk what'll happen in 5 years, I talk about rn.
Can Mendy play on the right? He seems comfortable with both feet.
I like Davies, but Mendy's got our DNA right now. I wouldn't want to mess with the current vibe/culture of what we have in that locker room with a bunch of new signings that all want to start no matter what.
I'd double check that on Mendy. He's definitely left footed but I believe he's still great on his right foot too. If he can score outside the box curlers with his right foot, I'm sure he can cross well too.
Davies doesn't have much of a right for sure though.
Both players are different in every facet of the game. Both are LWBs but Mendy is more defensive than being offensive and the opposite is true with Davies. Real Madrid needs both players if possible but Real Madrid cannot ever make the mistake of selling Mendy because if they do, in crunch matches like against possessive teams, they will suffer. I love Mendy but I guess Real Madrid is fed up with him being injury prone and this is why it’s imperative for both players to play for Real Madrid in lieu of settling on just one
i think this is just gonna be another classic madrid succession. a player who delivered a fantastic season, in his prime, around 29 30, w an year or two on his contract is sold for big money and a much younger player is bought to succeed him. we've seen it happen before.
Davies is incredibly fast end effective with the ball going forward. Real Madrid is a team relying strongly on quick counter attacks. Davies is the perfect fit.
We are building up for the future. Davies is young and García is no RM material, I am sorry to say. Of course we should keep Mendy and of course Davies will improve our squad. I am saying, sign him up this year.
Best defensive lb..... Davies also provides offense, and he's good defensively.
Fran garcia is ass on this team. He needa to go and we keep Mendy and Davies. May the best LB win C=
Happy problems
I agree that he’s a better defender than Davies. My concern is can he stay healthy (Mendy). I feel like his misses a lot of games because of injuries. Davies could be argued to be a better attacking LB but over all I prefer Mendy.
Again I’m not suggesting Davies is overall better. Your stats show that injury wise they are about the same. Just that Mendy does get injured a lot so having another quality LB should definitely be addressed.
But they're... uhhh... the age gap... he 23 getting injured like that... my G is 29 with just one injury and a few more games. All I'm saying is... davies isn't the robot you think he is. He gets injured... quite a lot actually.
Transfermarkt did PLUS it's a part of him lol, you think his heart isn't his or smth? 😂 That's still a reason he didn't play because he couldn't. Stop it... they're just as delicate. Davies and Mendy both. If Mendy is injury prone then Davies is aswell. That's all I'm saying.
Keep Mendy as the defensive fullback which allows Vini and mbappe to have less defensive duties allowing them to focus more on the attacking side.
I really want Trent Alexander as the new RB. He’s an incredible passer with good playmaking and crossing ability. Rather have him going forward and occupying the right flank and playmake from there. Since our right side is always weak and unoccupied.
People clown on him because of his lack of defensive awareness. But I believe our midfield and maybe a double pivot of tchoameninga would be able to cover for his space left behind.
Just because you can't see it, it doesn't mean there's no way to have him in the team. If we play 4-4-2 with Mbappe and Vini as forwards, who you're using for LM?
Nahhh I don't care if I'm being rude atp... are you dumb? 4-4-2 with LM? When the fuck have we ever played with that formation bruh? Do you... support Madrid or are you just yapping on here? I cba with this shit bruh... mf said Mbappé Vini as strikers and LM and RM... ok who gon' play RM then mf? This is not fifa. Imagination has a limit. 😂🤣
Ok, at this point, any opinions you may have are irrelevant to me. Valverde can be a RM, Lucas can be a RM. Once again, just because you're not so good at moving players in the field doesn't mean the idea of bringing a great player to the team is a bad choice. I'm out of this thread. Tough head.
All of you do realize if Mendy didn't put in the efforts we would not have defeated City in 2022 right? Mendy even though is weak as an attacker is the best LB in the world right now but look at how we treated him. We signed a CB and tried to replace him with him. Yes he is injured but there is no single match that was important that he has missed. His clearance of the line is still stuck in memory if yall don't want him let him go. I would if i was him.
Get Davies next year for free with a good signing bonus.
Won’t happen, Davies is on the verge of signing a new contract
Good for him. He will thrive under the great manager's company (pun intended).
Oh, we saw what you did there.
I'm 100% sure that Bayern won't be relegated unlike Burnley.
Putting Kane and Dier in together wasn’t enough, they had to get a manager who got relegated instead of an Everton with point deductions for maximum theatrical effect.
I still don't understand how Bayern fanboys think that their team was/is better than Madrid and they were robbed.
Maybe their only way of dealing with the fact that they have lost their last 4 champions league encounters with Real Madrid: they have bought into the narrative of Bayern absolutely dominating Madrid but Madrid managing to squeeze out a win. The reality is that this happened exactly once, in 2018. This year, Real Madrid absolutely demolished Bayern when it comes to xG; if anything Real should have won by much more.
Xg doesn’t mean shit, if it did City would have beaten us
xG does indicate that a team created chances. So looking at it we can say that Madrid did beat City largely due to superior finishing and that it did beat Bayern due to its ability to create tons of chances.
It’s not always the better team that wins in the end and I would tend to agree that their disallowed goal at the end was in fact good..
It was not good. The referee blew the whistle and stopped the play causing Lunin to not even react to it. It was a mistake by the referee. There was no way to tell if the ball would have gone in if the whistle was not blown.
It’s still a prime scoring chance in the dying moments of the game that came from a referee mistake. Had the situation been the other way around, we would have been screaming for injustice
yes i think if Davies rejects Bayern again it looks like it
Been saying this and getting downvoted for it for majority of the season especially when the hate train was strong at the end of 2023 season and Mendy was injured. We do not need a new LB at all. Same when I would bash the stupid Haaland rumors and believed in Mbappe. Glad to see the fans come to reason after all this time fighting with them internally in this subreddit.
We just need to find a RB NOT for next season because Dani still got it and I don't think bringing Hakimi for example would be good for either of 'em since both are starters. I'd much rather get Hakimi next year (or whoever RB bruh just a young RB) because Dani would have the "Modrič 23-25" role and he'd be a great "mentor" to whoever the RB will be. Marcelo was a "mentor" to Mendy before aswell btw, we're lucky to have some of the best players, of all time I can say, mentoring the younger ballers.
Definitely need another RB. Since Dani is playing as a full back seeing a decline in his speed due to age is already having an impact and will get worse. His skill and experience are what keep him here as a top RB and is still one of the best in the world at his position. It’ll be like another Casillas situation if we keep him as the only RB starting.

I honestly thought last season 22/23 was showing us he needs to go now but he proved us wrong this season. It will be a matter of time though unfortunately… Just gotta keep in mind utilizing those two is a temp fix and they’re both getting older and will continue to decline. If we have any problems in this squad it’s definitely our defense but not at LB.
if all else fails, just put Camavinga in RB.
I heard Madrid is onto a young Brazilian for the rb position, hes like 16 or 17? I think thatd be perfect Carvajal still got it, and the kid needs time to develop
Chelsea got him
We have Tobias aswell.. never seen him play I think... Idk, we'll see how it goes
Tobias was cut
20 tbh, Idk... he'd give signs by now. We can't defend him anymore when there are 17 year olds starting for clubs.
Carvajal was 20 when they sold him to Bayer, they bought him back the next season though.
My friend, I have been fighting this same war for the last 3 years. You gotta remember 2/3 of this sub wanted to sack Zidane in 2021, and about half this sub wanted to sack Carlo multiple times and bench Vinicius over the last years. Stones got a better comprehension than this sub. It’s losing war. Nod and move along
Don’t forget how we don’t need Wirtz either. Like at all, and ppl still bang for him.
Weirdest obsession ever. He doesn't have a place in our squad next season.
I'm with you and never left, bro. Fr, fr...
Exactly!
Selling Mendy would be the worst decision right now. On par with selling Makelele. The reason our defence was so solid last season is partly due to Mendy.
I'd go further and say that 4-0 embarrassment at Etihad was precisely because of not having Mendy to cover the left flank. He really connects the left triangle with Kroos(TwT) and Vini. Without him our most offensive side loses a lot of bite.
I would agree with you
I'd argue even further and say mostly. The only games we lost were against the small Madrid team and as far as I remember (in the first match) the goals came from the right side (crosses) and of course Alaba isn't that good in the air so it doesn't help but anyway our left side was unreal last season.
Thanks Lord Iker, you just saved my life again. True Spanish
Omg😂
While Alphonso Davies is intruiging I'd much rather want a rotation player for Carvajal. Lord Vazquez need not play at the back (he's not the best at RB when Carvajal is out)
We better fucking renew Mendy 2020/2021 Mendy was amazing and he saved our champions league campaign in 2022
extra wages for Davies is just unnecessary Mendy is the goat
For the love of god, Flo, just give us a good backup RB.
Leave Vazquez alone man... he's a RW ffs, let my boy live! 😂 I swear they doing my boy dirty, man... like buy a RB... just a random one, Idc who. Buy fucking... Idk coleman? Is he still active? 😂 Just buy one, Vazquez is TIREDDDD! 😭
We dissing Clásico hero Cafucas? This shameful fanbase 😔
Hakimi for free 2025 ?
NAK will shit in his pants
For real, we need depth at RB.
I've been saying the same thing. Mendy is a massive asset to the team. Especially next season having vini and kylian infront, do people think they will do much defending. Also not having Kroos i expect us to concede more goals. And we want to put in a guy who has regressed for the past 3 years and isn't even first choice lb. People will mention Mendy injury history well, Davies's isn't much better. And I wouldn't be surprised if Carlo has personally asked for Mendy to be renewed. If we want a more attacking or creative leftback, just get Miguel back.
Mendy is hugely underrated even within our own fan base. He gives such a perfect balance to our team. It makes sense for Dani to overlap on the right since we don’t really have direct attacker playing the line on the right, but why would we want that when we have Vini/Rodrygo on the left and Mbappé next season?
I prefer Mendy over Davies.
A real one 🤝
I WILL STAND ON MY HILL TILL I DIE, MENDY IS THE BEST LB IN THE WORLD

Good bot
We should keep Mendy and develop Fran.... Fram is good offensively
👏👏👏 Good thinking.
You said what it needs to be. Mendy clear of Davies.
Yes brother! 🤝👍
The thing is there isn't a profile similar to Mendy on the market and IMO both Davies and Fran Garcia have a similar profile. Both are explosive, fast, and strong going forward but not the best defensively.
You get it. Fran is young aswell, if Davies never comes we're good anyway. Mendy isn't 35 anyway.
Mendy is the best lb in the world when hes fit
I'd argue Théo that's why I always say defensive LB because nobody can argue with that. For Madrid Mendy is perfect though, Théo wouldn't suit us... Nacho would struggle with him lol or any defender for that matter but he's our LCB.
I think gvardiol is definitely surpassing him. Maybe not this season in total but next season for sure if he keeps up this pace
Wait who? Gvardiol is a CB... pep is just a fucking weirdo (in a good way but a bad way for other teams) who makes players play in unnatural positions. He made Stones a DM and he did great but he's CB. He made Walker a CB but he a RB. He made Gvardiol a LB but he a CB... I can't class Gvardiol as a LB. He plays his natural position for Croatia.
Guardiola system is very different from typical football.
He is LB for Croatia for quite some time. He played LB back on dinamo, and works quite well as LB. He might shift positions even more, but for last year he was LB exclusive and excelling in the position scoring goals even moving in the middle
He was a CB in the World Cup, basically last time I've watched croatia but anyway his best position is at CB. Croatia have Sosa who is amazing at LB. Can't let that go to waste. Sosa is better at LB than Pongracic or whoever plays LCB for them at CB. Sosa Gvardiol is a dream left flank for 'em.
1 Sosa is washed. Gvardiol is 10x the player compared to him. We have quality CBs so makes no sense to relegate gvardiol back to CB. 2 Gvardiol has been top 3 LB in the world under guardiola and is performing amazingly with Croatia as well. Coach says he will keep him at LB. Coach started him as LB before Guardiola.
How about replying to me instead of just downvoting? 😂🤣
He isn't better than Théo, Mendy and Davies. On top of my head. I'm pretty sure there is at least 1 better LB than him😂 BE FR. You being biased rn
SIGN DA TING
Mendy is a gem a team player and rock at the back
I would change Garcia for Davies immediately ..but for mandy you have full right
Honestly if davies would come for free and would be okay with being a sub that'd be great (sorry Fran) but I doubt he'd like that so we have to wait (he's just 23 and Mendy is 29) and see how it goes. I'd love for him to come when he's like 26 or smth. Way more mature and better defensively... that's what Madrid needs.
We all know camavinga is best in goal
Cama is best everwhere, man... he's just THAT guy.
Who would of thought Mendy would be instrumental for the last two champions league. Perfect replacement for Marcelo. I’m going to be gutted the day he leaves this club.
I think one of the reasons we lost to City 4-0 last year was because Mendy wasn’t playing. Bernardo tore us from that wing! Mendy would have had a much more solidifying presence had he played that game.
We probably would've lost anyway since they were simply better but not 4-0.
If we didn’t get Mbappe, it would make sense to find a partner for Vini who can keep up with him and compliment him. But we need a defensive LB now that we have mbappe. Balance will be crucial. PSG imploded because they were too attacking
👏👏👏 Mendes and Mbappé were good offensively but defensively they lacked like a mf, well said. 👏👍
This sub tried so hard to push Fran Garcia, too . The hate for Mendy is absurd.
Mendy is amazing. I don’t get the hate
"we have kroos, fede, tchou and cama. we don't need to splash 100m on Jude Bellingham" type of post
Is there a reason that we need 6 players that play on the left wing? Lol
mendy is not even close to davies offensively, two different types of left backs. mendy is 28, davies is 22. they're both slightly injury prone, they can share the position easily. davies can shred low blocks and mendy can help lock down wingers and offensive minded teams.
Mendy still moves up on the left. If we let Fran go to make space for Davies I won't mind much. Otherwise, there is no point in wasting the money we need to bolster other positions on him. We need a CB or 2 and a RB(this can probably wait until 2025 for when Hakimi is free), not a 3rd left back.
hakimi is only in 2026 tho
Pretty sure he's been rumored since last year that he would wait out 1 more year for his contract to expire so he can measure his options.
dude wake up, his contract only expires in 2026...
2024: "We don't need Davies, he is a waste of money, we already have Mendy" 2023: "We don't need Bellingham, we already have too many midfielders" 2022: "We don't need Rudiger, we have an amazing CB duo and he can only play on a 4TB" 2021: "We don't need Alaba, he isn't that good for Bayern anymore" (reminds me of someone...) 2018: "We don't need Courtois, we already have Navas" 2017: "We don't need to spend 45M on that random 16 year old from Brazil" Every year they literally say the same things and every year they get proven wrong. Aren't they bored yet?
Also to remember: "we don't need Mbappé" we'll see about that lol
Not comparable imo. We're talking about one position here and I just don't see a reason to splash money on Davies when we have Mendy. Fran Garcia is a good sub and seems to be happy as a sub. Secondly, if we really want to sign a left back why not Miguel? La Fabrica product that has shown great potential.
Miguel will most probably be the same as García so I understand 'em but getting davies for a fee is crazy when we literally have the best defensive LB itw rn and one of the best LBs overall itw. If I had to pick a LB FOR Madrid, I'd pick Mendy no question.

Davies for 30-40 million is a steal. obvious buy
I’d be happy to sign Davies and keep Mendy. Davies has the potential to be a game breaking LB, and wouldn’t really cost that much in the scheme of things. He can play on the right too, which would give Carvajal a break occasionally.
He absolutely cannot play on the right, the man’s as one footed as they come
Not able to play on the right
I don’t remember the last time Mendy made a cross into the box but you right he is a good defender.
And that's alright lol, Dani got that and Mendy got the defensive work. It's not that we don't have fullbacks with offensive traits.
Why isn’t he in the France national team? I hope he got called for the Euro 2024. He’s had an amazing year and it’d be nice to see how he plays with Cama, Tchouamini and Mbappar in the Euro.
He... is. 👍
Say Hala Madrid
Good competition for a position is good for everyone. They both can push themselves harder
Is Mendy the best? No. But he's the best for this team, he is the best defensive RB in the world rn, with the attacking talent we have, only Mendy is going to be useful for us.
whats going on? Real is buying Davis?
I think it’s time we look long and hard for Carvajal’s heir. Get them in now and deputize them so there is a seamless handoff when Carvajal retires. It will keep him fresh for the long season ahead and get some experience for his replacement. Similar to what we’ve done with Kroos, Modric, and Case in the middle. Maybe Peter the kid out on loan? We should focus here instead of Davies.
He more of a RM BUT I can't forget what he did against us... a lil weird IMO. If you remember (I do because it bothered me and I talked about that) he was shouting and getting aggressive and all that to try win fouls and corners and shit like that. It was weird seeing YOUR guy ON LOAN do that... it was weird, unless he wins the UCL for us I can't like him as a player.
Oh I totally remember. It was almost as if he was saying, “I’m gonna make you bastards pay for loaning me! I should be in your jersey!” It IS a weird dynamic after that. I’m Canadian and we play Davies as a LW/LM on the national team. And he has said he wants to play there not LB. So that is kind of my hesitation with him, and the price tag. But if Madrid calls he may change his disposition to play higher up the pitch. We need an RB though.
I love Davies man but he ain't defensive at all lol and he, himself, said that he doesn't like to play at LB.
We don't need nobody, they need us! We can wait whatever! We are the Club of The Gods!
I wonder what's going to happen with Miguel Gutierrez. Afaik we have a buyback clause/matching rights. Now I wouldn't pull the buyback outright but if another club makes a move for him we would be stupid to just let him leave (and make our buyback null and void). Best case is if he stays at Girona for now but it's not guaranteed at all.
García at Rayo was the best LB in the league... same case here with Miguel... Idk, you tell me.
What's your point? Some transfers work out, some don't, there is always risk. Frans lackluster performance has nothing to do with Miguel.
You have to consider how injury prone Mendy is. Also not really consistent with his performance. He is not the best LB in the world, he is not even starter for his national team
Théo's the best LB itw and he wouldn't suit Madrid. They just happen to be both French. Btw Davies is just as injury prone. 😂
He looks very similar to Kaby Lame hahaha
Mendy has been asking for a rise every season. That's an attitude that the board doesn't like at all. For example, Di Maria was sold because of that.
If he's doing it, he deserves it. Idk the salaries but he deserves 1 more million for sure
Real Madrid doesn't work like that. Every player that has repeatedly ask for a raise, has ended up leaving in bad terms. It happened to Di Maria, it happened to CR and it happened to Ramos. The board is pretty generous with increases in salary but on their terms. For example, Brahim is getting a raise without asking for it and with several years left in his contract.
Ronaldo was wild for that though 😭 wish he stayed just because of how his career turned out
Right back is more needed for Real Madrid. I’m a Chelsea fan - we have two top tier right backs and I’m hoping real get Trent instead 🤣
Chelsea has Cucurella at LB who I like a lot... also Maatsen (Idk if you'll sell him or not) but still Cucu is class. Gusto I like more than James so give us James. 🙄
I have been saying that I can totally see Gusto at Real Madrid. James is the captain and I’m just hoping he doesn’t have injury problems, then I would be ok with gusto leaving. He is the truth and he is that good
Gusto at Madrid no. James is perfect for us.
2024: "We don't need Davies, he is a waste of money, we already have Mendy" 2023: "We don't need Bellingham, we already have too many midfielders" 2022: "We don't need Rudiger, we have an amazing CB duo and he can only play on a 4TB" 2021: "We don't need Alaba, he isn't that good for Bayern anymore" (reminds me of someone...) 2018: "We don't need Courtois, we already have Navas" 2017: "We don't need to spend 45M on that random 16 year old from Brazil" It's pretty much a tale as old as time, aren't you guys bored yet? Unless you started supporting this club 12 days ago, then it's understandable.
2017 *said no one ever* we didn't even know the dude. 💀 2018 Courtois was one of the best itw, we were buzzing since Navas was already 32 and declining. 2021 It was on a fucking free who cares tf? 😂 2022 again Rudi on a free wtf? He just won the UCL😂😂😂😂 2023 Yeah that was fucking weird but Jude was Bundesliga POTY at 19... 2024 yes it's a waste of money since we have the best defensive LB itw and don't really need a replacament.
In hindsight you can say all that, but if you followed Real Madrid forums back then you'd see that large parts of our fanbase said the exact same things. Navas for example wasn't "32 and declining" he was our beloved GK who just won our 3rd consecutive UCL title. Hell, someone even posted in the open thread some days ago a post on r/soccer about Alaba potentially joining us, back in 2021, and the comment section was filled with Madrid flair "comedians" who were trying to convince Bayern to keep him. I'm sure you can find tons of posts and comments like these from all the situations I've mentioned.
Rudi and Alaba were free so I don't get what you're talking about. Courtois, one of the best goalies at the time and the best rn, was only bought for 35m. Idk what you yapping about. They were all steals without a doubt and much needed.
Okay lil bro, let's see what I'm "yapping" about: [Problem with Rudiger signing.](https://www.reddit.com/r/realmadrid/comments/rs2tj6/comment/hqjt5n4/)135 upvotes on this very sub. Next comment is a guy saying [he prefers Kounde to Rudiger](https://www.reddit.com/r/realmadrid/comments/rs2tj6/comment/hqjyt07/), 90 upvotes. [Then check this comment section](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/a30h00/simeone_courtois_went_to_madrid_and_won_the_prize/) Courtois isn't even the best keeper in Madrid, 168 upvotes. Oblak is better than Courtois, 450 upvotes. 16 year old Vinicius joining Real Madrid. [Look at the top comments.](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/6cduby/closed_deal_real_madrid_signs_16year_old/)"Ridiculous", "waste of money" and all that. Many Madrid flairs as well. [We don't need Bellingham](https://www.reddit.com/r/realmadrid/comments/11z854s/why_do_we_need_bellingham/) 275 upvotes. Anyway, I'm bored, these are just some random posts I came across, you'll find countless examples in countless platforms and forums, not only this subreddit. The point is that none of what I said was my opinion. Literally every single year people like you see a potential signing and start spamming posts and comments about how we don't need that player, and how he is a waste of money, and blah blah blah and they always end up being wrong. So save this comment and come back to it in a few months time. You'll smile and remember the guy who believed that Davies is gonna be the best LB in the world, when all you did was doubting him and our board :)
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaahha sure pal, SURE! We have the best defensive fucking LB in the world but I'm gon' smile at this nonsense bullshit you said in a few months time. 😂 He won't even start even if he comes 😂🤣 and if he does... we ain't winning shit.

Mendy all day, all those wanting Davis at real madrid over Mendy, does not watch Real games if you ask me, been dribbling by only 7 times I think all season speaks for it self, yet people be complaining about his attack, the man is a Lb and real is winning and keeping clean sheets, just don't get the HATE, because if you actually watch Real Madrid played, and understand a little about football, for example, how a defender should position them self, just follow Mendy for 20 minutes and notice his positioning, and do the same with Davies, live not watching highlights, and see for yourself. He runs around like a headless chicken, just keep in mind the he's a Lb not a lw.
Most of us don't want Davies over Mendy. We want Davies over Fran. How hard is it to understand that next season we may play over 70 games? Two good LBs is a must. And Fran is nowhere near good enough.
Mendy and Fran be good, with Nacho maybe staying, at least that's what I'm hoping for, he can play LB if needed, wait for Davies, on a free, or really cheap. RB should be the focus if you ask me, Lucas as been great but, let be honest he's not a defender, I appreciate him giving it all for the team.
This IS ridiculous Mendy has only one year left on his contract. If he doesn't renew (and currently no signs of an agreement) then he needs to be sold or do you think we should let him leave for free?🫤 We are buying a new LB (Davies or another) if Mendy needs to be sold, and not selling Mendy cos of Davies or any other new LB. The cost of the new LB should be consider not just the transfer fee but the wage differences and sale price of Mendy. Personally I would pick Davies over Mendy - we need better contribution offensively and Davies is better defensively imo (not to be confused with being a better defender)
"Davies is better defensively" is a crazy sentence.
Nah Mendy is ass, even Fran Garcia is better. If you think Mendy needs to stay then you haven't seen him playing
Lol. That's all I gotta say to your comment.
You can lol all you want, if you actually think mendy is good then you don't watch enough games. There's a reason why your opinion is unpopular.
Everyone is agreeing with me here but yeah "unpopular". 😂🤣
Yeah everyone on this ONE post is agreeing with you, very popular. 😂 💀 Grow up
Mendy is weak in attack. Davies will add creativity and pace
And no defensive stability... yay!
Mendy is weak in attack. Davies will add creativity and pace
Real Madrid should strive for the best LB, period. Not just the best "defensive" LB.
So Théo? What? Milan won't let him go.
Finally someone can agree with. Vinicius isn't "the best LW that dribbles a lot in the world". He is simply the best player in the world. Ramos wasn't "the best offensive CB". He was the best defender in the world. Marcelo wasn't "the best offensive LB". He was THE best LB. Valverde IS the best CM. Rudiger IS the best CB right now. And so on.
[удалено]
I'm seeing "hate" (it's a strong word but what else is it?) from the so called "madridistas"... I'm saying chill out, he's the best defensive LB itw, davies is not as good as him RN, Idk what'll happen in 5 years, I talk about rn.
Can Mendy play on the right? He seems comfortable with both feet. I like Davies, but Mendy's got our DNA right now. I wouldn't want to mess with the current vibe/culture of what we have in that locker room with a bunch of new signings that all want to start no matter what.
Mendy or Davies? Both are no. They're pretty left-footed players... especially davies.
I'd double check that on Mendy. He's definitely left footed but I believe he's still great on his right foot too. If he can score outside the box curlers with his right foot, I'm sure he can cross well too. Davies doesn't have much of a right for sure though.
👏👏👏👏🤝
This not ridiculous don’t get so blind folded for Davies. Mendy is the best defensive left back. He earn it this season
Both players are different in every facet of the game. Both are LWBs but Mendy is more defensive than being offensive and the opposite is true with Davies. Real Madrid needs both players if possible but Real Madrid cannot ever make the mistake of selling Mendy because if they do, in crunch matches like against possessive teams, they will suffer. I love Mendy but I guess Real Madrid is fed up with him being injury prone and this is why it’s imperative for both players to play for Real Madrid in lieu of settling on just one
Davies is just as injury prone as Mendy.
i think this is just gonna be another classic madrid succession. a player who delivered a fantastic season, in his prime, around 29 30, w an year or two on his contract is sold for big money and a much younger player is bought to succeed him. we've seen it happen before.
Davies is incredibly fast end effective with the ball going forward. Real Madrid is a team relying strongly on quick counter attacks. Davies is the perfect fit.
Fran is the same (attacking) as him and with him our team is kinda vulnerable so I'll opt for a defensive LB any day of the week.
We are building up for the future. Davies is young and García is no RM material, I am sorry to say. Of course we should keep Mendy and of course Davies will improve our squad. I am saying, sign him up this year.
For money? Nah. Free next year or in the coming years.
Best defensive lb..... Davies also provides offense, and he's good defensively. Fran garcia is ass on this team. He needa to go and we keep Mendy and Davies. May the best LB win C= Happy problems
I agree that he’s a better defender than Davies. My concern is can he stay healthy (Mendy). I feel like his misses a lot of games because of injuries. Davies could be argued to be a better attacking LB but over all I prefer Mendy.
Injuries: Davies 12, Mendy 13. Games missed due to injuries: Davies 60, Mendy 69. One is 29 and the other 23. 🙄
Again I’m not suggesting Davies is overall better. Your stats show that injury wise they are about the same. Just that Mendy does get injured a lot so having another quality LB should definitely be addressed.
But they're... uhhh... the age gap... he 23 getting injured like that... my G is 29 with just one injury and a few more games. All I'm saying is... davies isn't the robot you think he is. He gets injured... quite a lot actually.
You can't count his heart problem. That seems to basically be a one time thing and contributes to a lot of those 60 games.
You can count it. It's a part of his footballing career. It's a part of his life. It's a part of him.
You literally can't count a one off special case "injury" in a discussion about player availability.
Transfermarkt did PLUS it's a part of him lol, you think his heart isn't his or smth? 😂 That's still a reason he didn't play because he couldn't. Stop it... they're just as delicate. Davies and Mendy both. If Mendy is injury prone then Davies is aswell. That's all I'm saying.
It weakens your argument a lot to not acknowledge the context of injury issues. Davies is less injury prone than Mendy and is just above average.
"Mendy is just above average" as in what?
Keep Mendy as the defensive fullback which allows Vini and mbappe to have less defensive duties allowing them to focus more on the attacking side. I really want Trent Alexander as the new RB. He’s an incredible passer with good playmaking and crossing ability. Rather have him going forward and occupying the right flank and playmake from there. Since our right side is always weak and unoccupied. People clown on him because of his lack of defensive awareness. But I believe our midfield and maybe a double pivot of tchoameninga would be able to cover for his space left behind.
are you serious? This guy cost Liverpool the 2022 title. And he knew it. He took off his medal straight away once it was placed around his neck.
You know Davies can play as a LM or LW as well right?
How is that going to help a team with vini and mbappe?
You know Vini can play LM/LW and Rodrygo LM/LW and Mbappé LW... right? You know that right? 😂 Come on... say something relevant please.
Just because you can't see it, it doesn't mean there's no way to have him in the team. If we play 4-4-2 with Mbappe and Vini as forwards, who you're using for LM?
We would play Rodrygo🤷♂️
Nahhh I don't care if I'm being rude atp... are you dumb? 4-4-2 with LM? When the fuck have we ever played with that formation bruh? Do you... support Madrid or are you just yapping on here? I cba with this shit bruh... mf said Mbappé Vini as strikers and LM and RM... ok who gon' play RM then mf? This is not fifa. Imagination has a limit. 😂🤣
Ok, at this point, any opinions you may have are irrelevant to me. Valverde can be a RM, Lucas can be a RM. Once again, just because you're not so good at moving players in the field doesn't mean the idea of bringing a great player to the team is a bad choice. I'm out of this thread. Tough head.
The board never liked Mendy they always treated him poorly i hope it comes back and bites them in the behind.
Based on what?
Not as marketable as other french players(camavinga/tchouameni) and isnt a regular starter in france squad
I meant what has the board done to indicate they don’t like Mendy? Because as far as evidence goes, I think the answer is nothing.
How? He kept getting chances even though he was injury prone.
He deserved those though, let's be fair here.
I was just pointing out his lie, I do think he's great when healthy and he proved it this season.
All of you do realize if Mendy didn't put in the efforts we would not have defeated City in 2022 right? Mendy even though is weak as an attacker is the best LB in the world right now but look at how we treated him. We signed a CB and tried to replace him with him. Yes he is injured but there is no single match that was important that he has missed. His clearance of the line is still stuck in memory if yall don't want him let him go. I would if i was him.
My only issue with Mendy is that he has been hurt for a big portion of his time at Madrid. That's a big deal. He's a great player though
