Reports of Barca and Neymar wanting each other again. How is that even possible with their debt?
Has to cost 100m at least.

Disagree completely. Madrid are in the ucl semi finals in a season where they’ve had more injuries than any other team in Europe. Add mbappe and if they get their health back they’ll be top 2-3 for ucl favorites next season.In a rational world, Barcelona would have to say goodbye to Messi and detach themselves in any way possible from all the obscene salaries they have on the squad, renegotiate debts and start a new project without wild populism.
The same applies to Madrid, who sell the idea that they are going to buy Haaland and Mbappe when they are not so much better and still have to carry the crosses of Bale, Hazard, and company in a squad with too many veterans.
They probably still think they are too big to fall.
feck me, he got old.
Where will they even play him ?Paying Alaba a reported 400k a week. Crying about the PL finances and doing something like that. Can’t make this shit up.
Nice fallacy of compositionPaying Alaba a reported 400k a week. Crying about the PL finances and doing something like that. Can’t make this shit up.
Centre back I’d imagine...Where will they even play him ?

I wouldn't say he's a 400 k a week cb at all.
Probably balanced out by having the second highest wage bill in world football no? What is Gareth Bale on again? What is Eden Hazard on again?Nice fallacy of composition
Real Madrid are 67th in the world in terms of net spending in the last 5 seasons, so there you are a much better reference.
It's not about getting sympathy, it is about describing reality and not missing a huge part of it. Unless Pyramids FC is the benchmark for one of the most valuable clubs in the world, COVID or not.Can’t go around bitching and whining and trying to get sympathy and then turn around and sign players to 400k a week wages.
What reality? Real keep spending insane amounts of money on wages. How can you do that on one hand and complain about being broke on the other? Real bring in huge commercial revenues anyway, is it really so hard to live within their means?It's not about getting sympathy, it is about describing reality and not missing a huge part of it.

The reality that says Getafe and Pyramids FC have a bigger net spend in the last five seasons. If you analyze a club's behavior economic wise, take everything into consideration and that also includes players like Ramos or Varane, the two starting CBs possibly leaving the club this summer.What reality?
Real Madrid aren't broke. They operate 'within their means.'What reality? Real keep spending insane amounts of money on wages. How can you do that on one hand and complain about being broke on the other? Real bring in huge commercial revenues anyway, is it really so hard to live within their means?
So why exactly did Perez say..Real Madrid aren't broke. They operate 'within their means.'
'Somebody has to give us another format, to earn more money. Without it, this will all die'
Because he's after attention. Madrid know full well they can get an endless supply of dodgy loans and land deals from the council. There is literally zero chance they would ever be allowed to go under, or even fail to compete with the other city in Spain.So why exactly did Perez say..
What on earth is this?The reality that says Getafe and Pyramids FC have a bigger net spend in the last five seasons.

A person saying that football will die doesn't mean a club is broke.So why exactly did Perez say..
Nobody's living within their means right now because of the pandemicWhat reality? Real keep spending insane amounts of money on wages.

He was talking about the losses that all football clubs had due to the pandemic.So why exactly did Perez say..
Grow up will you? This is ridiculous. Spain isn't some banana republic and their government has more important things to do than bail out fooball clubs, nevermind that it's absolutelly impossible under EU rulesReal Madrid always find money. I remember people saying in 2009, "there's no way they can afford Ronaldo after they spent 65M for Kaka", then they sign Ronaldo. "there's no way they can afford Benzema after they bough Ronaldo & Kaka", then they sign Benzema. "there's no way they can afford Xabi Alonso after they spent so much money on Ronaldo, Kaka, & Benzema". then they sign Alonso plus Alvaro Arbeloa as bonus for combined 55M.
Moral of the story? Never underestimated the importance of Real Madrid in the eyes of spanish goverment.
Because he is a bullshitter and most likely had personal fincancial interests in a Super League. Real Madrid and Barcelona generate significantly more money than any other club not named Manchester United, Barcelona are chronically mismanaged while Real Madrid has decided to recently invest in their infrastructure.So why exactly did Perez say..

The simple and logical explanation is that they've been at the top or nr 2 in every single list published by Forbes of the worlds richest clubs.
We'll see this summer.The Spanish government have no money.
So what you're implying is that if lets Real Madrid purchases a couple of players for a significant amount of money that will in your warped logic amount to evidence of the Spanish state helping them?We'll see this summer.
How does the world work, especially in Europe?So what you're implying is that if lets Real Madrid purchases a couple of players for a significant amount of money that will in your warped logic amount to evidence of the Spanish state helping them?
Because if it is, that is not how the world works, specially in Europe.
Wondering the same thing.What on earth is this?
Great post.It's not a good look for the league when two biggest teams in the league have got managers who did at best a 6/10 job at Everton!
At least madrid hires proven managers who have a history of winning. Barca hires managers from midtable teams valverde to setein to koemanIt's not a good look for the league when two biggest teams in the league have got managers who did at best a 6/10 job at Everton!
How does it work then? Madrid is in great debt, they need to fund their stadium renovation and lack of star players they could sell?So what you're implying is that if lets Real Madrid purchases a couple of players for a significant amount of money that will in your warped logic amount to evidence of the Spanish state helping them?

Probably the cheap option for them. He likely took a paycut to join them in an attempt to revive his failing career.It's not a good look for the league when two biggest teams in the league have got managers who did at best a 6/10 job at Everton!
That whole 'how dare you imply Spain could be do something underhand!?' line might sound better if we didn't remember the whole incident with Madrid selling their training ground to the government for a vastly inflated price.So what you're implying is that if lets Real Madrid purchases a couple of players for a significant amount of money that will in your warped logic amount to evidence of the Spanish state helping them?

All clubs? Ah so, he's actually the saviour putting himself out there for everyone else, not just because he spent stupid amounts of money he can't afford? Good to know..He was talking about the losses that all football clubs had due to the pandemic.
Real Madrid are one of the few clubs that made a profit last season. They sold 100m worth of players this summer and signed nobody. They've played hardball with contract renewals.
I don't think offering Alaba this much money is necessarily wise, but it's almost certainly part of an overall plan to reduce the total wages paid, not increase them.
You do not fund loans or stadium renovations with the ponctual sale of assets. In fact you do not borrow money or invest in infrastructure based on hypothetical one-off sales, you do it based on recurring revenue and Madrid have among the highest recurring revenues in the football world.How does it work then? Madrid is in great debt, they need to fund their stadium renovation and lack of star players they could sell?
This is a crazy amount to pay for Alaba’s wages. What was his wages in Bayern previously? I reckon no more than 200k per week?Where will they even play him ?
