It's actually amazing how Real Madrid and Barca always get the top talents in the world. Seriously: Ronaldo, Bale, Isco, Rodriguez all on the same team. Will be good to watch.
The top 5 all time transfers fees are all Barcelona and Madrid - They pay whats needed more time than not.It's actually amazing how Real Madrid and Barca always get the top talents in the world. Seriously: Ronaldo, Bale, Isco, Rodriguez all on the same team. Will be good to watch.
They have the sunny lifestyle, guaranteed to compete for trophies, the prestige, they pay the wages and they pay the transfer fees to do it.It's actually amazing how Real Madrid and Barca always get the top talents in the world.

They paid for Bale transfer. Di Maria and Morata are paying for James.OTOH, I think it's also good to see that for all their splurges, Madrid do need to balance their books. Yes, they bought Bale and more last yar, but they also sold Higuain and Ozil.
Where do you think di maria will end up? I would rather we keep him but that looks unlikely. If he has to be sold I would rather it be to PSG as they would pay a lot and they are also the least threatening of all the teams that could get him imo?They paid for Bale transfer. Di Maria and Morata are paying for James.
Come on now...Suarez better than Rodriguez? You must be new to European Football. Welcome from the wilderness.
After today, it really looks like he's of to Paris. That's just by looking at our transfer bill - 80 mil € net spend.Where do you think di maria will end up?

I kinda agree with you.Going to go against the grain here and say he will not live up to his price tag at all. Still think his world cup was an anomaly. He's an excellent player who has always had potential to realise it. I just don't think he can produce his world cup form consistently. Hopefully I'm wrong as I like the guy.
That would be United as we have no CLWhere do you think di maria will end up? I would rather we keep him but that looks unlikely. If he has to be sold I would rather it be to PSG as they would pay a lot and they are also the least threatening of all the teams that could get him imo?
I still think united will win the cl sooner than psg.That would be United as we have no CL

Di Maria probably ain't as marketable as the others are. He probably needs less time in front of the mirror than the others when leaving the dressing room...After today, it really looks like he's of to Paris. That's just by looking at our transfer bill - 80 mil € net spend.
Di Maria has earned himself a star status and he wants to hold on to it, continue playing first team football and get paid more money then the club is willing to offer. He doesn't have the right financial offer, and first team football doesn't look like a sure bet in this squad.
He also won everything there is to win with Real Madrid. Considering all circumstances, leaving seems like the right choice.
He was only at Monaco for a season. Started off as a sub and didn't score in about his first 15 games there, but was really impressive once he'd settled and had a very good 6 months leading up to the world cup. Ironically, it was when Falcao missed a spell in Nov/Dec that he started his good form, and he's also been more impressive for Colombia with Falcao out, so much more effective when he is the real main man of the team that everyone looks to feed. At Real it could work, either with Rodriguez as a false 9 between Ronaldo and Bale or as a No.10 with Benzema ahead.I agree with you too.
It's clear to see that Madrid has bought him on the basis of his world cup performances. I think he's an excellent talent but his record with Monaco wasn't really that great in the last two seasons.
With Bale I always thought that he's eventually gonna be a Ronaldo replacement, I just don't see Rodriguez having that kind of potential.
He only spent a year at Monaco. Miraculously they've made a profit from the €40m fee.I agree with you too.

Financial fair play.Wow I just realized that by now 8 of the 10 highest transfer fees of all time have been paid by Real and Barca. Real alone paid 6 of those.
why do you always post this crap? it's absolute shite.Transfermarkt current top 10:
1. Lionel Messi (Barcelona) 120 mil €
2. Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid) 100 mil €
3. Gareth Bale (Real Madrid) 80 mil €
4. Neymar (Barcelona) 70 mil €
5. James Rodriguez (Real Madrid) 60 mil €
6. Edinson Cavani (PSG) 60 mil €
7. Luis Suarez (Barcelona) 60 mil €
8. Falcao (Monaco) 60 mil €
9. Luka Modric (Real Madrid) 55 mil €
10. Angel di Maria (Real Madrid) 50 mil €
What 2 months of hype can do..
I'm tempted to get one purely to have my name legitimately on a football shirt. Might have to be an illegitimate shirt from Asia though, there must be a load more of them not in the figures that Real aren't seeing the money from too.Have already sold around 350 000 shirts around the world. mainly in colombia and Asia!! Assuming a profit of around 30% per shirt RM have already cashed in 10m Euro..in a week!

And this is when we don't have a standout talent in our team who can be considered the best in the world in his position.
It's not so much hype as more a reflection that he already switched clubs for a fee of 45 mil € to Monaco. So they judged that with the increasing interest in the player and the good WC he had there was no way he was going for less than those 45 mil € and set his market value at about 60 mil € which I would have said is a fair guess, maybe a bit low and as we have seen it was indeed 20 mil € less than Real ended up paying.Transfermarkt current top 10:

It depends on what you take it for. Take it as a database for done transfers and it's the best site out there. If you want to take it as a guide for actual market value it is always bound to fail as prices are only really determined the minute some player is sold. Non the less I feel for making an educated guess about the market value of players they usually aren't that far off if a transfer happens, at least for the majority of players.people need to remember that transfermarkt's a load of bollocks.
Yeah it is and it's got to be THE least accurate site in terms of listing fees for players. Any transfer that's happened a while ago has some retarded inflation added to it, with actually no formula behind it. It staggers belief that people quote that shite.people need to remember that transfermarkt's a load of bollocks.
No it most definitely is not the best site out there for done transfers, do yourself a favour and look up some of the fees they list for transfers from a few years ago, it is complete and utter shite. The mods should seriously blacklist that site from ever being used as a source for a transfer fees debate.It depends on what you take it for.

If it lists Anderson's fee as anything over £20m then they are not to be taken seriously.Yeah it is and it's got to be THE least accurate site in terms of listing fees for players.

Very important point that many people seem to weirdly forget. James was always going to be an expensive player after one season at Monaco considering how much they paid for him. We shouldn't be surprised by these prices when situations are as obvious as in this oneIt's not so much hype as more a reflection that he already switched clubs for a fee of 45 mil € to Monaco.

People need to remember that the market value is not only a reflection of a players ability with a football but also about how much money has been payed for this player before and how much his next transfer is most likely going to cost.
Anderson's exact fee was €30m which was £20m at the time (in 2007 £1=€1.5), this was disclosed to the stock exchange by Porto at the time.If it lists Anderson's fee as anything over £20m then they are not to be taken seriously.
Yeah, that's why I said over it. I have seen several websites quote his fee as £25m using the current exchange rate.Anderson's exact fee was €30m which was £20m at the time (in 2007 £1=€1.5), this was disclosed to the stock exchange by Porto at the time.
Just because money bags monaco spent a ridiculous fee, as they tired to buy their way to the top, it shouldn't mean that his value should have automatically gone up. The fact of the matter is though, in a market where a 19 year old left back goes for around £30m, the star of the World Cup, whose marketable and young, is bound to go for something a fair bit higher. In reality both clubs over paid for both players but time will tell, which one pays off more from both a footballing and commercial point of view. Unless you're Sergio Ramos, most defenders just aren't half as marketable as an attacker.Very important point that many people seem to weirdly forget.
