Madrid entered the summer with two glaring holes in the squad.Centre-back. Defensive midfielder.For centre-back, we got Konaté, an injury-prone solution to a position that already has the best injury prone CB.And so it goes.Last year, we splashed €50M+ on Carreras.This year, we splashed a similar amount on another player for the same position.And so it goes.We spent €130M on an unproven youngster, because apparently €130M is better than the 60M we splashed last year for another unproven youngster playing the same position.And so it goes.We renewed the underperforming star whose spectacular tantrum helped catapult last season into the mess it became.Then, as the cherry on top, came a washed Bernardo Silva.And so it goes.The defensive midfield problem remained untouched.The promises of Olise, Rodri, Bastoni evaporated. We sold our best prospects in Paz and GG. And so it goes.Two glaring holes identified before the summer. 230M spent. The squad is still imbalanced. The midfield still lacks what it lacked.And so it goes.
