I actually thought Fernandes was bought in as his replacement and he’d go there in the summer. Seems Madrid weren’t ready to buy him then though for the obvious financial reasons. I reckon he’ll go there next summer when Madrid have a proper go at the transfer window.
That won’t be a good thing for everyone else though. He’s the albatross around that club’s neck. A real problem for whoever is the current or next manager while he is there.
Started to think Fernandes was a Pogba replacement but then end of last season it did almost feel like they'd cracked how to have them play together and that be effective so I thought they might kick on from there... then this transfer window happened.
I really don't get the Van De Beek signing cause I don't see how he fits in there too. Fernandes and Van De Beek signings do feel like ones you'd make with Pogba going... but there wasn't even a sniff of Pogba going this summer. And given how he's playing now and the financial burden of this pandemic, do Real even go for Pogba? Especially with Mbappe and Haaland also seemingly on their wishlist
