4) James Rodriguez
James is another case similar to that of Isco’s. The Galacticos signed the midfielder after his incredible performances with both Porto and Colombia. However, what Perez didn’t consider was the fact that his best games were from the central attacking midfield position – something that hasn’t existed at Real Madrid ever since Mourinho was sent packing.
And just like with Isco, most clubs would alter their system to get the beast out of the Colombian. A player like him always brings out the best of his teammates when he himself is in conditions that sees his magnificence ooze out of him.
He might be sold in this window given that Real Madrid might buy some more midfielders, rendering his services obsolete.
And, as much as his fans at Real Madrid would hate to read this, it would be the best for all parties involved.
