Good day Ed. Just to put it out there, if both Diaz and Chiesa are to leave in the summer, would someone like Wirtz a realistic replacement? Can play in LW and as a 10.
{Ed001's Note - unlikely, be a great replacement but he is likely to join Bayern. Though I wouldn't be surprised to see him follow Alonso to Madrid.}

Bloody alonso going to Madrid and building a legacy.

Sad that a classy guy like Xabi Alonso will lead a shabby operator like Real Madrid.

By all accounts we are looking to get a contract renewal on Diaz and given his prominence this season and the level of changes needed elsewhere I reckon Diaz stays put with departures for Nunez, Chiesa and possibly even Jota.

Was disappointed with Leverkusen and Alonso when we played them this season. Was like watching a game against Mourinho in the latter portions of his Chelsea career.

Who "LEAVES" RM will be more telling! Ancelotti going will be the ending of the Empire, he's the Daddy of them all the biggest boots to replace in the whole of Europe.
Fancy joining a club whose players only play for themselves and have zero interest in the club, M-"BABY", Junior, SMELL-ingham and YKW, you're not judged on your football skills at RM, it's who has the biggest "HEAD"!
Biggest bunch of "Posers" ever assembled.

We'll see Southern, we'll see. I'm not convinced.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if, during the period Liverpool were pursuing Alonso, Real Madrid quietly intervened with a message along the lines of, 'sit tight, your time with us is coming. ' If that was the case, fair enough - things have worked out for the best with Slot. But at the time, most of us wanted Alonso, and Madrid likely played a significant role in why he didn’t come. The irony is that at a club like Madrid, even the most promising managers are only ever one bad run away from being discarded. If I were a manager, I’d avoid them entirely, not just because of the politics or underhanded tactics, but because there’s absolutely no loyalty there. Success is fleeting, and history shows they’ll move on without hesitation. It’s not a place where you build, it’s a place where you survive for as long as they let you.

That is no suprise Ed. Bayern back at what they do best, buy the best talent in bundesliga and add them to their team. And some wonder why no other team can consistently challenge them in bundesliga. Musiala and Wirtz in one team are pretty good though.
