Going by media rumours, Bastoni and Schlotterbeck are some of the defenders the club wants to sign, as you can see both are different profiles.

Bastoni is not a traditional defender, he is more like a Pique type of player, goes forward a lot with the ball, solid on winning possession and good in the air.

Schlotterbeck is a cheaper option(media says we have a buy clause of 50M if we want him) not the best carrying player, but he is winning more duels.

Now Huijsen is still young, Bastoni and Schlotterbeck are really in their prime, the way people talk about Huijsen you would think he was horrible, in fact it's not even true.

Huijsen is too young to lead our defence, so he needs a good partner, Rudiger lost his form and Militao is injury prone, Alaba is gone for me. I think Huijsen did well based on the stats and the matches i watched, you can't criticize only a player for goals conceeded, our defence got a lot of problems right now.

My pick would be Bastoni, the experience, the fact that he is progressive with the ball(you need it at a big club) and he is probably the best left footed defender in the game right now.

What other options could be available?

Let me tell you the truth because most of you are literally the definition of a plastic fan, we got embarassed and humiliated by Barcelona without Yamal nor fully fit Raphinha, we had one shot on target(the team that was forced to win the match was us not Barca), but now no one can use the Mbappe played excuse, because he was not even on the bench.

So like many of you said and contradicted with me, “we played better without Mbappe, without acceleration Mbappe is a second division player”

We had a true 9, we had the favorite of the sub Vini, we had Bellingham and Tchou, so by this logic we should at least throw a fight right? Didn’t happen, what a surprise, i really wonder why.

The reality is that Mbappe was never a problem, you guys just wanted a scapegoat.

Those are tough times if you ain’t a madridista just go invisible and come back when we win, that’s what plastic means, you celebrate when we win trophies and when a dark period comes(it happens to every team) you run away, you can never call yourself a fan, so stop acting like one.

And the last thing, there is a big difference between being the fan of a certain player and a fan of the team, a fan of the team would never insult a player and showing actual hate, criticism is something different.
