James needs to be in the 10 position so Ancelotti may choose a 4/2/3/1 to let him bloom easily (if Monaco let him leave which is not done yet).
But then there will only be two places for the rest of em (assuming Isco is James' official sub). Khedira and Kroos can play together but both of them love to play the 8 role. Kroos played 6 (which is Modric's role in Marid) in Bayern and didn't feel good there because he seemed limited by this role. Anyway, it's weird because the two last seasons Perez was saying he was going to sign plenty of young Spanish players (Isco, Illara, Morara and them) to keep it local and now he's back to signing proven stars.
Ttheir midfield way too loaded. They don't need A+ list signing but strong A-/B+ list ones to have proper subs. But Real gon' Real I guess.
The Tour is done lol. Nibali did a 2013 Froome and killed everybody in the first mountain stage :ld:
Purito was defeated at the end.

Ancelotti started out with the Khedira/Alonso combination in midfield and once Khedira got injured DiMaria plugged in those gaps and even played like some hybrid CM/Winger depending on how the game was going. I can see why they would need to move to a proper CM type role with Kroos but adding James plus having Bale/Ronaldo and Benzema will be problematic. I saw Modric playing with Rakitic in a deeper role for Croatia and it did not work out as well for them and even in the CL final a half fit Khedira was thrown in the game at the start. This is like the AC Milan of 2004-2006 that Carlo coached were he tried to fit in Seerdof,Pirlo,Kaka,Rui Costa in one team and he had Rivaldo too, the only difference is that he did not have 3 players up top he could not drop.
