Time for La Undécima (the eleventh).

Lots of rumors. Khedira may be out, DiMaría may be out, James Rodríguez may be in, Radomir Falcao may be in........

Álvaro Morata was sold to Juventus for €18M, with a buyback clause of €35M.

Julen Lopetegui is trying to get Asier Illarramendi on loan at Porto (Atleti´s Óliver is already on loan there).

Casemiro will likely end up at an upper mid table Serie A side.

I have to believe Ancelotti is smarter than this considering how influential DiMaria was during the stretch-run.

I think DiMaría doesn´t feel he´s ´loved´ enough.

Supposedly Mónaco is preparing €60M for him.

Time to win La Liga.

Di Maria being out confuses me.

MM, it´s a rumor.


BTW, Portugal´s ´O Jogo´ says that Benfica and Real Madrid are discussing a possible Casemiro loan.

Oh, I know it's a rumor. Just not one that makes sense. Though RM and transfer rumors seldom do.

Real Madrid better not let di Maria and Khedira go without splurging on Vidal, or something

I´d go to Madrid with my eyes closed. I have a lot of respect for all the others, but Madrid is Madrid. To play for Real Madrid is my life´s dream.

I want Madrid to have the best team, but I not want to have too many world class midfielders, which could be trending that way. Isco may not sniff the pitch at this rate, since he does not really fit the system, but it would be a shame to lose such a stud.

I almost do not want James (even though I loved watching him play for a while) because Madrid already has Isco. Modric will surely occupy another spot in the midfield. Then, there is still Kroos who should absolutely start and Xabi's mouth to feed. Plus, who knows what is going to happen with Khedira and Di Maria.

I would rather keep the midfield as is, buy Falcao, and make some decisions on the future of the keeper(s).

I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA as to what is going on.

I could see dumping Khedira after a great market value capital gains type WC, and DiMaría as well (the fandom doesn´t love him as much as Carletto does).

Xabi´s about done at this level (I don´t see him racking up the minutes this year).

I still think Lewandowski was the best fit for an RM 4-3-3, and I´ve already forgotten how Falcao plays (I´m pretty sure he´s probably stronger all around in comparison to Lewa, but possibly not as agile in tight space).

Francisco Alarcón, I´m going to light a candle at church for you.

I think there still may be a Pogba play.

All I know is, I don´t know.

I want to keep Di Maria cause he can just take over sometimes (but so can Bale, Modric, and CR7).

I would not mind keeping Sami because he is a workhorse. Xabi should mostly be coming off the bench, but his facial hair is still world class.

Falcao is great in the air and a very quality finisher, but I am not sure how he will look after the ACL tear. I think that could be a great buy for them.

Pogba would be sick, but really unnecessary.

Just saw on Facebook that Real Madrid agreed to a $108 mm usd fee for James. Is that around 70€ mm? I am skeptical of the veracity of it though.

The market is crazy when you play with Monopoly money and everyone wants to go to Madrid.

Another summer, another midfield millionaire. I guess this pretty much means Sami is out and probably Angel as well. Which sucks.

With Kroos and James they have to sell.

CR7, Bale, Benzema, Kroos, James and Modric. Pretty fricking sick.

I'm surprised there's no talk of Benz leaving

He was reported to Bayern twice. It never made that much sense. Now I see he's reported to Real.
