the way you folks are mentioning millions like y'all seen that much money before?

MrCrackles:

Overrated no, but overpriced, YEAH!

The guy is damn overrated. He had no business winning FWPY. Take a look at other winners, and its obvious CR7 is no where near the caliber of those guys

2008 Cristiano Ronaldo  
2007 Kaká
2006 Fabio Cannavaro
2005 Ronaldinho
2004 Ronaldinho
2003 Zinédine Zidane
2002 Ronaldo
2001 Luís Figo
2000 Zinédine Zidane
1999 Rivaldo
1998 Zinédine Zidane
1997 Ronaldo
1996 Ronaldo
1995 George Weah
1994 Romário
1993 Roberto Baggio
1992 Marco van Basten
1991 Lothar Matthäus

Tell me someone on that list that CR7 is better than?

Chelsea in for Atletico ace Aguero

Chelsea have made an offer of 50 million euros for Atletico Madrid's highly-rated Argentinian striker Sergio Aguero, according to English media reports on Wednesday.
The 21-year-old, who scored 17 goals last season to help Atletico claim a place in the Champions League, is one of the hottest properties in European football.
He said earlier this month that he wanted to stay in the Spanish capital but urged Atletico's owners to invest in player reinforcement to ensure the club was capable of making an impact among Europe's elite, suggesting he could be attracted by a switch to a club challenging for major honours every season.
The size of Chelsea's reported offer will severely test the resolve of the Atletico board to keep Aguero, who is the son-in-law of Diego Maradona.

Just heard barca signed ibra, with eto'o moving the other way. Well if thats true then laporta is a greedy bastard!

Inter denies the Ibra for Eto + €10M trade

Transfer market: when the theory is groundless,

MILAN - During the transfer window, a headline in a newspaper is enough to transform groundless rumours into truth. This is what has happened today after the article published in Barcelona newspaper El Mundo Deportivo about a presumed deal between FC Internazionale and the Catalan club. Besides being completely unfounded, the presumed deal seems remote from any logic, even to the eyes of neutral observers. The report is, therefore, groundless.

Muki, Dreams come true. . .hope you know that. watch out for my boy.

Na me say make  you support stingy manager and club?

As per big boy money bags, I don't even like the idea of paying extra large amounts for players. They are setting a stage for acute madness.

Not necessarily. . . . payments for Ronaldo are staggered over 5 years. . . meaning that in monetary terms, Perez has only paid for one galactico this year (Kaka). . . . which is his business model. . .

I don't care if its paid over a decade, madrid got f**ked from behind. Madrid just payed €94M for a defending WPY who is likely going to miss the worldcup courtesy of Hungary!
Another lentini.

Is it not easier for them to just buy Newcastle?

Was 'business model' the first phrase your mama spoke when you came out of the womb?  Abeg make we hear word jo - roadside mathematician masquerading as analyst. 

Madrid has laid two HUGE markers regarding the CL next season, snapping up two of the most prolific performers on that stage. Can Roman really do anything to compare?

what kinda biz model is that?
i tot a biz model is simply how you make money so has Madrid under Perez ever made money?

Madrid is gonna be dreadful club next season ooooo

how i wished they ended up 6th in the La liga this season . . . .

No way. Even Debosky confirmed that Arshie help you out else you may have had to fight relegation.

C'mon mate. . . . I don't get your point . . . na only for Naija wey business model deals solely with income?. . . . . business model deals with operational processes and all that. . . . Perez operational process has always been to sign one galactico per season. . . .and that fits in with his business model. . . . I am simply pointing out that the payments for Ronnie are staggered over 5 years. . . . which means he has still only spent monies equivalent to one galactico this year. . . . WTF are y'all on about?

@ Ibime

Don't look now, but by spending 37m (euros) on Villa, Perez might have succeeded not only in gazumping Chelski again, but also defeated your 'one galactico per season' business process.

Does 1 Kaka, 1/5th Ronaldo and possibly 1/5th Villa equal one galactico per season to you?

Road side mathematician ke? That is too sophisticated, you are a gutter-side mathematician.

How many times do I have to school you on footie matters. . . . if this continues, I will have to charge a fee for my services. . . . how can Villa be a galactico?. . . . Villa is not a galactico, he is an Amancio. . . . now google that and get back to me. . .

Personally, I am very happy that Chelsea is staying out of the market for now. . . . I do not believe in buying when the market is high. . . . I have always preferred that Chelsea adopt a sustainable model even if that means lack of success in the short run. . . . money is no issue. . . . Ronaldo is only worth 2/5th of Abramovic's latest yacht. . . . again, money is not the issue. . .

Unless you have developed some strictly held to definition for galactico beyond 'superstar joining Madrid', then he remains a galactico to me. He can be both Amancio and Galactico at the same time - he is the 'best in spain' ans well as 'superstar'

Money is not the issue? Y'all can't get the players you want and you're talking money is not an issue? Roman wanted Kaka but failed, that is a fact.

would this make Madrid a better team? I'm not convinced.

Are you finished googling? 

Villa can never be a galactico. . . . he lacks the worldwide appeal and ability to attract sponsorship. . . a galactico is not just down to performance on the pitch. . . . it is a business model, which Perez claims is self sustaining. . . if galactico was tied to pitchside performance alone, Beckham woud not be a galactico. . . hence Villa is not a galactico. . . . QED!

R.Madrid is the biggest retard in the history of football club.

shouldnt they be more concerned on strengthening that shitty defence of theirs

a more progressive approach will be securing the deal of players like Vidic, Chiellini, Evra first and foremost

Casillas can only make so many saves. the formula is pretty simple, dont concede goals (or concede less goals)

and you have a pretty big chance of winning virtually every game, look at Chelsea 04-05, 05-06, even though we didnt play

the most attacking football, our rock solid defence (Terry, Carvalho, Makelele et al) meant we could win games without

havent to score 3, 4 goals per match

Wow. This has gotten way beyond sensible reasoning.

There is more to modern day football than just winning on the pitch. You also need to make money.
If you win without playing good football, Madrid fans will ask for your head.

CR7 is definitely marketable. It is his on the field productivity, and locker room behavior, that's worrying. For a player that seems to have ego issues already, this transfer is likely to worsen things.
Madrid can pull it off if they win trophies next season, else it will be a disaster.

Biina

I totally agree with you
I am a Man Utd fan but I think those who voted Ronaldo Fifa world footballer of the year, have simply desecrated the elite club of players

He is not good enough to be world player of the year.

what plans does Madrid have for a defensive midfielder? are they still planning to reclone Claude Makelele in the form of Lassana Diara

You mean the same shitty Man U defence that Eto'o and Henry turned inside out to win CL ?
