Keep video game talk in the video game threads.
James Rodriguez
- Thread starter Adcuth
- Start date
They didn't need Rodriguez either.
He was signed last summer by Moncao for 45m Euros. He didn't just have a really good World Cup. He has long been touted as a future superstar.you're just the worst
If we paid £63m for a player we don't need seemingly purely because they had a really good World Cup I'd probably question the sanity of our owners.
So if stories keep coming out every year about Perez hiding Madrids debt (€550 million this time last year) how come they're 1. getting away with these signings without it affecting FFP 2. How are they even in debt? their revenue is huge!
They bought him purely because Barca got Suarez, so Real needed to hit back with something of their own so they just went with the hipster player at the moment, as they always do.

But who cares if you need a top player or not if you can have them? Buying from a position of strength. That squad has so much talent is just astounding.

what will become of Falcao now that James has left, surely he will be looking at it and thinking whats the point in staying here if there selling off the best players. It doesnt look like they made much of a fight when Madrid came knocking.
It's amazing how quickly we're getting our targets this summer, it's actually a bit crazy.
You put us to shame, that's for sure. And we claim to be the biggest and best? The reality is you are the front runners of world football.
There are probably no negotiations, you just pay whatever the asking price is.
It really is, but Flo wouldn't last through entire August, would he..? Might be Khedira is also leaving and he'll leave that last transfer for mid August.
I think having just won the CL has something to do with it though (signing players this easily I mean). It's so crazy that it wouldn't surprise me if we would still sign a striker for crazy money, it's still so early in the window that it feels we're not done shopping yet.
Come on, Kun, you know you want to.

Dunno which FIFA you are on about. Real is awesome but Barcelona is horrible with that slow midfield and crosses take their team of midgets apart. High ratings they may have, but they are still shite compared to the other top teams
Please kill me... That monstrosity looks even worse than I thought.
Barca are very good when you're a seasoned player and play on the ground.
What strikers have you been linked to that you think are actual targets? Seeing as Benzema is your only recognised striker, will any new striker come in and rotate with Benzema or would he be sold/ask to leave as a result?I think having just won the CL has something to do with it though (signing players this easily I mean).

Gone are the days of possession football on FIFA. In the higher divisions of FIFA all you see is over the top balls or counter attacking with pacy wingers
Thread still open? Presentation jsut finished at the Bernabeau
Win CL then buy two world-class players. Fair play to them.
Looks a bit like the German plans for invading Poland.
Nah I don't think there's a chance of us letting Benz leave this summer. We've been linked with Falcao quite heavily before/during the WC but it seems to have died down a bit now. I'm secretely hoping for Aguero, we've been linked with him in the past and would be a fantastic signing for us.
Think I'm getting a bit greedy now though...we'll probably end up with Adebayor on a loan deal again or something.
Kroos and Rodriguez in one summer? Real Madrid fans have it easy don't they
Real always do these red carpet parades of new shiny signings at the Bernabeau.
I wonder if we'd do that if we actually signed a player that would draw a crowd like that. Last one I would say would have been 18 year old Rooney...

Soooo... Di Maria anyone?
I'd say €80m off the back of 5 good games isn't worth much of a fight.
80M is just plain stupid. Read somewhere that of the last 5 World Cup top scorers, 3 ended up in Madrid.
If only we'd still had Forlan in 2010. We'd have got £50m for him just for winning the Golden Ball.
Don't hide it, that was you, wasn't it? You couldn't bear not buying it!
Suker was already at Madrid when he topped in '98. Ronaldo is the third one.
I knowhe's a good talent and all. But I'm not convinced about him. And with that in mind, I kinda hope he'll become a £60m flop, just like Kaka - it would be the sweetest thing for those money grabbing spastics in Madrid to endure yet again.
Transfer muppet's dream club.Kroos and Rodriguez in one summer? Real Madrid fans have it easy don't they
I just found it, not sure if they are correct.
You'd beat them with some Route 1 Moysie football
10m for Varane? Feck me.
Huntelaar & Diarra €25m each. Kaka €65m. Illarramendi €39m. feck me they don't half waste money.I just found it, not sure if they are correct.
To be fair, look at the amount of money we've wasted on players in recent times too, just on a lesser scale, money wise.
Bebe, young, smalling, anderson, nani, zaha, fellaini....
