Real Madrid are their own myopic little bubble of superiority and arrogance. They have no regard for the footballing world at large and believe it to be a stage from which they can play out their own soap opera every summer to appease their fans and their own egos.
In the greater footballing world, Real Madrid know nothing of shame as their sole concern is their own appeasement and they will do anyone over to meet those ends in any which way they can.
As far as their own agenda is concerned, they do a splendid job beings as they get who they want 9 times out of 10.
A fair comment.
The joke of it is they seem to know best how to push their self destruct button. Great manager in charge over the last few years - certainly an ego, but a man who's record stands up to scrutiny at the very highest level. He came to the club heralded as the savior and talk was that the dressing room clique would be banished and the club would back the manager to make the changes neccessary to take the club forward.
As it was nothing changed - firmer club men with no coaching pedigree making comments and certain players allowed to run amok. The cycle then starts all over again - signing top players to appease the fans year after year - but no real sustained success or progress.
They may get Bale - the suggestion now seems to be in the media that he is a "boyhood Real fan" - utter garbage no doubt, but they'll no doubt have offered him a shed load of cash. If I were a young player, once you get past the razzle dazzle and shiny lights of it is that a move to Madrid isnt always the best career option long term. I guess we'll see how this pans out
