Heheh, if that's for real, than they're pretty stupid overthere. Real is becoming the laugh of the year if this continues, and they must be having the highest payed group of players in the world.

What Real need is defensive minded players. not another attacking ones.

WTF!?!? Since when has football become a modeling business? The only ones who might care about that are the she-fans, and they're not exactly the majority, are they(atleast theyre not over here!)? sheesh, you'd think they'd only think about money...

Yes. It makes you wonder why there being linked with Van Nistelroy(sp?). Where would they play him? Central defence? Unless they sold Ronaldo it just doesn't make sense. Even worse was the fact they sold fifteen players in the summer and only bought one. Players like Flavio and Celades(defensive midfielders) may not be "Galacticos" but there valuable squad members and Real need that type of player in midfield, yet they let both go out on loan! Even more weird every time Cambiasso(sp) has played he's shown himself to be a quality defensive midfielder yet until recently they never used him!

Also they let Morientes go and on loan and he scores 2 goals against them to help knock them out of the Champions League. Them in the next home league game against Osasuna they lose 3-0 and Valdo scores one and sets up another. He's also on loan form Real Madrid! Bad management.

Interestingly they have recently been linked with Walter Samuel (a defender) and Xabi Alonso (defensive midfielder). It will be interesting to see if these rumours prove true, if not IMO they will continue to struggle.

The guy in charge of this sort of thing at Real is hardly Mr. Universe himself:




But LOL at Ronaldinho being an ugly git. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well, the reason they've sold that many players is obvious, isn't it ? They're broke, flatbroke. They don't even own a nail to scratch their own behinds, and shouldn't even be allowed to exist. I sincerely have my doubts about how they can even pay the salaries of guys like Ronaldo, Beckham, Raul, Roberto Carlos, Figo, and Zidane. I don't think they'd settle for minimum wages, just so they can play for Real. A very shady footballclub at the least.

HOLY MOTHER OF ALL CRAP PILES!!! They have ALL of those players!? Screw Ronaldinho being too ugly, they just cant afford him anymore! Now I dont watch football too much, but I do know good players dont come cheap! Id be suprised if they could afford to pay these six guys what theyre asking, but then they still have to pay the other players...Real Madrid isnt gonna be what it is today for long, methinks.

But there are still rumors that they're after V. Nistelrooy. Vd. Vaart is also a name i hear a lot when Real's transfer adventures are mentioned. There are also rumors that Chelsea might be willing to buy Ronaldo and Beckham from Real, so that might give them some financial slack, but they will need it if they really wanna buy V. Nistelrooy.
