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

    Id say odegaard but that is with hindsight. He couldnt break into the first 11 at the time

    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.

    Robben, Makelele, Sneijder and Ozil (to a slightly lesser degree) all performed at a world class level after leaving Madrid.

    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
