Real Madrid offered yesterday 47 million € for Villa. Valencia rejected. Also, they added another winger for the list, Cazorla (from Villarreal and sub at the national team this Euro).

Robinho may sign today with Chelsea.

I'm sure Robinho won't be in the starting lineup in Chelsea and that's going to be well deserved. He is too thin for english premier league. Tevez is much stronger than him and took a lot of time to adapt.

ya the fact is tevez took what, like 25 games before he scored his first goal? and he was an incredible player already.

I agree with Raidern, also he slows up the ball so much... gonna get crushed with premier's fast paced game.

Cazorla signing looks done btw.

Neither is Luka Modric yet he has been in the starting lineup and been performing quite well as of the first two games.

But Modric is another player type and also I'm sure that Croatian football is pretty physical as well so he should be used to it.

btw robinho is one of my favorite players, to be honest with you I think he can adapt to any style, he can be explosive and he can be slow paced as well.. depending on what the demand is...

Isn't it the way high level sports works? Teams buy players, teams win tourneys and fame, teams earn money, teams buy more players to win more tourneys to earn more money.

Agreed sometimes they just buy stars and leave the other ones in the bench thus killing many stars careers from this. They lose form, and takes a lot of time for them to regain it.
If they buy Villa , i don't see Higuain playing at all.
I like Madrid, but i don't agree with certain things they do just like Chelsea.

They burned so many players in the bench of madrid, i can go for hours naming them this past 10 years...

and also just a quick example would be robinho..

sometimes I like to think about things the simple way.. like this:

Brazil = No1 Team in the World...
Robino = Brazil Starter <--- best team in the world right?
Robino bench in real madrid.. I hate them ..

Its like taking UpMagic from eSTRO to put him in teams like CJ, Khan, OZ etc and just leave him at the pro house and let him burn out and not getting televised games in PL when he could be a star in eSTRO etc.. just for the heck of.. "We are so good and rich we can have UpMagic in the B team, sup?"

Robinho was an starter for RM until his performances went down (first seasons) or got injured (last season) so, really, Robinho is a bad example. I agree RM and other big teams burn down good looking players but I guess it's their choice trying to be succesful in big teams and they expose to that.

United is even worse when it comes to that.

United probably kill more stars than RM, although I am bias since I know a lot less about RM than MU.

And Brazil not = No.1 team in the world, at least not according to the world ranking right now. Nor the reigning world cup champion

I would bet my bank account money for brazil against any team ? I think a lot of people would do that as well... Brazil would prolly be the favorite against anyone? or no?
