I’ve said it elsewhere on the thread but Robben and Sneijder weren’t performing at Madrid, was definitely best for them to move elsewhere. Makelele was sold as result of a failed vanity project, Ozil was sold because he was no longer going to be a starter with the emergence of Isco and signing of Bale.

A player performing at a world class level for Madrid who is still at the top of their game generally never leaves Madrid

29 year old DM on mega wages from Madrid is definitely questionable. I can’t ever recall a time where Madrid have gotten the short end of the stick when getting rid of one of their big stars, that alone should’ve raised question marks. Madrid are very good at assessing the level of their players

How can you not think that Mudryk goal was his fault? I saw the same thing happen in the lead up to one of the Spurs goals, routine cross in that Rays fumbles with and ends up in a Spurs goal 45 secs later. It’s clearly something teams have identified, Mudryk said as much himself that the GK coach identified it

McCoist seems to even accept on commentary that it’s a yellow but was still saying it’s harsh to give as a second yellow
