The CB situation
The success in recent times, winning 2 UCLs, 2 LLs, 1 CDR and other titles over three seasons, allows the board to not desperate. It was due to injuries instead of signing failure, but a similar situation appeared during last season and the team managed to win important titles.
With that being said, I hope they can find a solution during this transfer window, as it’s not good to start a season already in a “crisis”. In addition, this season I have the impression the team loses more with Tchouaméni moving from mid to defense as they don’t have Kroos out there with his usual masterclass performances.
What do you think?

It’s outrageous. Real Madrid are the biggest club in the world. We can’t start a season with only 2 good enough CBs.
