Real is so stupid sometimes.

They could have got ronaldo for much less..

Everyone could see he wanted to leave Manu...

T_T


But seems like real will build up a stunning team =D

Real did this same thing when Perez was president the last time when they picked up Figo, Zidane and Beckham. Lets see if they are retarded like last time when they sold of every good defensive balancing player like Makalele.

Would be sick if they buy Ribery also.

I just hope they listen to Pellegrini and let him work. They are great with business but need to pay attention to football too T_T

Perhaps those pre-contract rumors aren't so far from the truth after all.

kaka 65 mio
ronaldo 93 mio

+

maybe ribery, villa (both wont be cheap either....)

this team will be doomed to win, and it won't be enough to just win
they will have to dominate
they more or less have to win CL
I don't think you want to buy players like kaka and ronaldo to win la liga only

nontheless, I hope that Barca rapes RM so hard next year, even though barca is playin really well for some time now and everybody knows that teams live in circles (build up good team, play good for 1-3 years, than team performance decreaces to the point where u build up a new team again)

we'll see

PS: the coolest thing would be if xavi, iniesta and the spanish team could keep their performance up until the next summer for the WC in south africa

why is it that when someone scores, they avoid the other teammates while running back until a bunch of them just jump on him

Man, I was shocked when I heard this, mostly because I can't see Man U without Ronaldo, but it was looking obvious he'd move sometime

We've sold so many of our top players to Real, albeit after peak: Beckham, Ruud, (Won't say Heinze, cos he's awful)

I wonder if we can finally get a player off them, wouldn't mind Sneijder

Sadly Sneijder is a shadow of what he was, to much night parties T_T. He even got divorced. I wish he gets back in control of his life and mind, he is an awesome player.

Because this way his sponsors earn money, when he's alone on the screen. It's an unwritten law present not only in football(soccer-.-) but in almost every other sport as well.

As to Real Madrid: David Villa is about to join them as well.
I wonder if Perez eventually gets a playmaker or they gonna play like Argentina do - a big gap between defensive midfielders and the attack. Both Kaka and Ronaldo are not suited for playmaking. They are AMs, OMs, mediapuntas or whatever you call them. Their job is to bring the ball close to the penalty area and either shoot on goal or provide the ball to the forward(s). You need to have some creative players to distribute the ball in the middle. Diarra and Gago fail here.
It's one of the reasons why Argentina's national team sucks so much with the players they have.
Messi, Aguero, Tevez, Maxi R., D. Milito. Great attack. G.Milito(he'll recover soon), Demichelis, Burdisso, Zanetti, Mascherano, Gago - not a bad defence either. But what about their midfield ? Veron - rather finishing football career, Jonas Gutierrez - hardly a creative force. Quick ball from DMs to forwards and let's see what they can do - you won't win anything playing like that. Even with such talented players like Messi or Aguero. The same might happen to Real Madrid. 6 players in the back, 4 at the front - that;s what it looks like after buying Kaka and Ronaldo.So, either they will sacrifice one from the Gago-Diarra pair for a much more creative yet capable of defending player, a 'Xabi Alonso', 'Cesc Fabregas' type, or they will play with only one true forward, being it Villa or Higuain and try some formations between 4-5-1 and 4-3-3 - 4-2-1-2-1 or 4-1-2-2-1 - whatever you call them. Otherwise, I don't see how it could work properly. Maybe you have some ideas. If so, please share them

yea it is def the most expensive transfer...zizu's was like 46.5M or something like that. Kaka's broke that record, now ronaldo's.
Watch Man City break that record with whoever they go after.

I never like ronaldo just cuz i hate Man U so much. Now i like him cuz he's at Real..Nice.

This is good news cuz i think Fox sports is gonna be broadcasting La liga games next yr?
Can't wait to see what this Real Madrid team will be able to do.

I bet Wenger and Mourinho now wish they had given serious thoughts to taking over at Real...imagine coaching ronaldo, kaka and possibly villa.

Pellegrini will fail. Doesn't he have issues with players with egos? players who think they are bigger than the club? Riquelme?

I don't like Pellegrini but he's perfect to start things off, then when he fails 2 months into the season, they can put it a more "known" and accomplished coach.
