Madrid fans dont have fun, they find a player who isnt playing amazingly and they slate him
Dunno mate, when you consider that we bought Isco, Illaramendi, Carvajal and Casemiro already, I'm starting to think something more is going on.No it doesn't at all. He wants both in his team. It's typical Madrid for me.
Panic-buys are usually overpriced, not the cheap ones...£85 million panic buy. The world of a Madrid supporter
Dunno mate, this is the only football forum I post on. A few people on Marca seem to think he might be off aswell though.What are serious ITK Madrid fans saying on their gossip boards?
No muddle: the future at least starts this coming season ... which is why it wouldn't make sense for us to sell Bale to you or any other top 4 Prem team from last season.
No, they bought Kaká, Ronaldo and Alonso before Mourinho's arrival, Pellegrini had a season trying to make them work.I love the audacity of Real Madrid. Just love it. I think I'd love supporting them ( I don't).
I never thought the largesse of the first Galatico era would be surpassed. But then Mourinho turned up and hoovered up every single muppet buy in world football. And now he's gone and you think he cant be surpassed, so they start this Bale nonsense having already spent £65m this summer.
This approach to football is deeply hard wired into their DNA, they genuinely are the glamour team of world football bar none. That strategy may not translate into playing supremacy, but for the fans, it must be so much fun.
Not the ones before the final transfer window day. Do you think your club are run by complete idiots or something? To throw world record fees about due to panicking?Dunno mate, when you consider that we bought Isco, Illaramendi, Carvajal and Casemiro already, I'm starting to think something more is going on.

Well, I don't know if I would be happier if the club hadn't signed anyone yet either, I just don't want to be the laughing stock of Europe having a flop of Torres/Carrol-esque proportions.Vato's comments in this thread say otherwise.
Sky said:The bid does not include any Real Madrid players moving to Spurs as part of a package.
Jesus Christ!August 8th, ladies and gentlemen.
Return of the king.
Point remains the same! Mourinho still hoovered up £££ worth of muppet talent in his time @ Madrid.No, they bought Kaká, Ronaldo and Alonso before Mourinho's arrival, Pellegrini had a season trying to make them work.
Do I really need to answer this?Not the ones before the final transfer window day. Do you think your club are run by complete idiots or something? To throw world record fees about due to panicking?
Well, SSN reporting a bid and an official bid actually arriving - along with proof of funds - are two very different things.No club would bid that amount for Bale anyway... bar Madrid. That really is an exceptional offer and surely one you have to take?
Sorry but that's scouse logic, that I am sure could be adapted for a lot of transfers. If Bale is sold for £85m, he is the most expensive transfer ever and it's as simple as that.If we take inflation rate since 2009 then we have
2009/10: 1.0%
2010/11: 2.1%
2011/12: 3.1%
2012/13: 2.6%
So comparable Bale fee to Ronaldo's is 85M£ / 101% / 102.1% / 103.1% / 102.6% ~= 78M£
so practically Ronaldo will still be the most expensive transfer ever
They make more money than both of them(United and Barca) and then throw that money on players like Ronaldo and Bale and then make even more money. Repeat and rinse.I don't understand where Madrid get the money from? We keep being told we're the richest club in the world, and the nouveau riche clubs are obviously all oil well deep in money, and yet no one else consistently makes insane bids like this! No one. 4 of the 6 biggest transfers are Madrid. Where is it coming from that isn't also coming in for United, Barca etc?

With every club negotiating rights deals separately, the top two currently account for a 50 per cent share of the total amount broadcasters pay out to La Liga’s clubs each year. Currently Real and Barca take half of the £520.5million (€600m) annual pot for TV rights, leaving the other clubs to fight for the rest.

They don't though, I'm pretty sure United turn over more profit than Real Madrid.They make more money than both of them(United and Barca) and then throw that money on players like Ronaldo and Bale and then make even more money. Repeat and rinse.
TV rights, selling shirts and all.. How would I know but annually there revenue seems to be much more than both Barca and United.Do they? How?
At present, only Spanish and Portuguese clubs sell their rights on an individual basis, creating the disparity that last season made Real Madrid over €140m (£119m) from television income and Granada around €12m. In England, the champions Manchester City earned £60m through TV, while relegated Blackburn Rovers and Wolverhampton Wanderers made £40m.
That's what I thought, but then Spain's government is sort of close to bankruptcy so I'm not really sure how they can afford to guarantee Real's debts.Their debts are guaranteed by the government, aren't they?
I don't know but I seem to remember that we are third behind Barca and Madrid. I am sure someone can pull out some articles. We don't generate as much.They don't though, I'm pretty sure United turn over more profit than Real Madrid.
Well the argument to that would be that Barca have produced more marquee players so they haven't had to buy them.So TV rights account for everything? Barca earn the same from TV rights, yet only have 2 of the top 20 biggest transfers.
It can't count for everything, but it's a major reason why Madrid have all this money to spend now. Barcelona do too, I suppose they haven't needed to invest in transfers to the extent Madrid have given their success. Or perhaps their money is tied up in other stuff, who knows, but as you can see they have and continue to earn an incredible amount through TV Rights, that no other clubs in the world aside from Madrid comes close to.So TV rights account for everything? Barca earn the same from TV rights, yet only have 2 of the top 20 biggest transfers.
Especially this transfer window...talk about two extremes.They don't though, I'm pretty sure United turn over more profit than Real Madrid.

For profit, we're currently second, behind Madrid but just ahead of Bayern and Barca.I don't know but I seem to remember that we are third behind Barca and Madrid. I am sure someone can pull out some articles. We don't generate as much.
I don't think that puts Bale out of our price range. I'm sure if we wanted to match Madrid's offer, we have the ability to do it. It's not value for money though and it's most certainly not value for money for Real Madrid when you look at the squad they've already got.Anyway, this puts to bed the hope of a good number of caftards here (who were convinced he is destined to be a united player or whatever... See the bale thread in the football forum) dreaming of signing him. Madrid have put him out of our price range.
Delighted.
