I don’t understand the suspension, stripping him of the captain role & dropping him to the bench is more appropriate. If the media asks questions, the manager can then say his head is not in the right space. Instead they have created a whole new saga revolving around the player. This will run till the end of the season.

A saga of design as a distraction mate.

We cannot let it work. One message, one direction.

Blueco out!

This is a good point that should be spotlighted more.

Thank you.

Enzo Fernandez is right and so are the people saying Rosenior tries to look smarter than he is in his pressers. You are not mate, stop with this bullsh*t. Hate to say it as I always try not to use any insults on our players/managers, but Rosenior does not have any charisma at all and at times he looks and sounds like a fool. Passing that note to Garnacho when PSG where like 25-2 up on aggregate score was one of the cringiest things I've ever seen on a football pitch.

What is it.. a 75m book value still, with Madrid being fairly reluctant with big transfer fees since their stadium redevelopment, aside from carefully plucked youngsters like Huijsen who was 19 years old, same age Bellingham was, Endrick 18 years old. In order to make it work, they’ll have to be in the ballpark of 90m at least for a guy with so many flaws, both football wise and personality wise.

He switched his agent last year and I guess they must be convinced, so who knows.

and then to say when questioned, " I always try to take a positive approach regardless as to whether we are 5-0 up or 5-0 down"... has for me redefined the words "total bollox" Liam the floor is yours - you utter clown.

Fck off blueco.. fck off Liam .. fck off enzo..

So he's suspended for "crossing the line" because he said his ideal city to live in was Madrid because of language and culture? Really?

I mean, i know Enzo is not the brightest when it comes to speaking in public, and i know some of you are probably jumping up and down with pure joy and a big smile on your faces, but this punishment is an embarrassment.

Completely agree with the special one

Mourinho has not said that, it’s fake news. No video, no reputable reports, no nothing.

Yep, all bullsh*t. If we do sell him it'll be break even at best. If anything it'll be player plus cash and we'll be on the wrong end of it.

Thing is, Enzo is the face of the Argentine national team after Messi. They worship him in that country.

Incredible marketing opportunity for Real Madrid.

I still like it

I don't think many fans have a problem with Enzo speaking out against the ownership, it's the verbal lapdance he gave Real Madrid that people don't like.

And now the expression 'verbal lapdance' is an instant favourite of mine. I knew Enzo would deliver!

No! Perez intentionally avoided the Argentine market for a decade, last signing was Di Maria. He said it would take a special player for him to sign a player from there. Signed Franco Mastantuono last summer who was meant to be the next big thing from there last summer for €49m, there are already plans to loan him out next summer.

Our fans keep missing a little detail with Enzo; there is the Brazilian dynamic in the Madrid dressing room who don’t get on with Argies, and he also has problems with the French players who are a key part of the team. Perez knows better than to spend big money and wages on Enzo,it’s a non starter. This whole situation was created by his agent Javier Pastore to get a fat contract out of the club.

Enzo's agent Javier Pastore: 🗣️" "This two-match ban, which makes no sense from my perspective, suggests that the club is trying to make a point or send a message; I suppose we’ll understand the reasons better in time. But to do this to the vice-captain – or captain when James isn’t there – to sanction him for two matches for something I see no reason or explanation for, is undoubtedly a sign of certain moves the club will surely let us know about as soon as possible."

Enzo's agent Javier Pastore: 🗣️" "Our plan after the World Cup is to meet with Chelsea again and, if there is no agreement, to explore other options."

This was always about a new contract; you can’t make a player the face of your team, and a captain to boot and not pay him like one. He has seen Conor Gallagher pick up £200k/w at Spurs, Saka on £300k/w at Arsenal, & James improved his £250k/w contract. The suspension was the wrong move IMO, should have stripped him off the captaincy and told him to focus on his game. This will keep on running till he gets what he wants or he is sold.

bomb squad

I am not sure why he is being suspended? and what culture are we talking about here?

Honestly, the only problem for me with all of this is that if we sell Enzo, we probably will "reinvest" the money into 2/3 lottery tickets.

He was one of the best players in the WC2022, and he didn't need Messi for that, Argentina wouldn've beaten Mexico if it wasn't for Enzo, not only for the goal but also for the impact he made as soon as he came in.

I was at that game ... Mexico vs Argentina. Best atmosphere I ever experienced at a game. Enzos goal was special too...

speaking out against the owners is fine...

speaking out about how the players should be doing better is fine....

saying that madrid is similar to buenos aires is fine...

I do not get the rabid response to these developments. I get some dont think he is good enough to build a team around - and thats fine...but to over react in this extreme manner is odd. Our fans turning more into arsenal like hyperbolic lunatics by the day....

This was engineered by his agents.. agents get paid when players moved not on contract extensions.. wonder how many players pastore has on his agency would be good to see how he has managed others..

fck blueco fck Liam fck enzo.

I don't agree on the brazilian dynamic issue, i think argentines and brazilians get along very well when the play together, they only hate eachother when they play against eachother. However, i do agree with the french issue, as i seriously think Mbappe in particular will accept to have him as his teammate after that argentine song scandal.
