rinswun 6 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 such a ridiculous amount of money. apparently perez wants both kaka and ronaldo this summer. so we could see an even bigger deal at some point. Link to post Share on other sites
QED 4 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 It will certainly be interesting to see how Real are financing this deal and the others they claim to be making. There is talk they are selling Ruud off for £1.25mil, don't think that will cover it. Link to post Share on other sites

mrpaddyx 13 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 There are 2 factors why Real are going on a spending spree. 1st they have a monster tv deal which from what i am led to believe is different from the collective bargaining deal that the English Premier League has. Basically they negotiate with the TV companies and take a big stash of cash opposed to Man U and Liverpool etc who have to share the revenue. 2nd They just don't care about debt, its much more important to have a winning team. They believe that the establishment would never allow them to go bust because they are Real Madrid. Link to post Share on other sites

rinswun 6 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 real could have bought newcastle for £20 million more!from a selfish standpoint, i'm just glad they are snapping up all the decent strikers world wide and leaving the defenders alone, gives arsenal a chance to buy some much needed centre backs and stops the other premiership teams from strengthening their attacks. obv its sad for the prem not to have these talents on show though.on the positive side, el classico could well be about 7-6 next year!

LJB723 0 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I believe they're still expected to get Villa as well.And Ribery if the rumour mill is to be believed.Perez must have won the Euromillions! Link to post Share on other sites
DinkDonk 1 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 And Ribery if the rumour mill is to be believed.Perez must have won the Euromillions!The Villa rumor is more substantive, imo. Perez has already said that he does not expect to get Ribery, but Valencia apparently turned down a Chelsea bid for Villa because talks were already pretty far along with Real. But I suppose the Ronaldo deal could change things. I suppose we'll have to wait and see.I do love transfer season, though. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 I do love transfer season, though.transfer season beats the hell out of anything in the usa. It's it's like the NFL draft and the MLB hot stove league combined. Link to post Share on other sites

LJB723 0 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 of flesh...(imo it's understood that when we're talking "futbol", the amounts are Euros and Pounds Sterling)Yeh, that's right.Funny thing is Real have broken the world record twice in a week in £ but only once in Euros. Due to the change in exchange rate the £45.6m for Zidane is more in Euros than the £56m for Kaka. £80m is comfortably more, in fact it's downright scary! Link to post Share on other sites
QED 4 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 The other interesting question about all these signings (if we ignore the money one) is what happens to Raul in all of this? Dropping him used to get you the sack, so is it over for him as the king of Madrid or are they going to have to shoe horn him into the starting 11 some how. Link to post Share on other sites

Since both Kaka and Ronaldo can also play both those positions i'm sure they will find a way of easing Raul in. Link to post Share on other sites
