Nachooo booooom!!
Omo this goal will forever be etched on the sacred walls of football and world cup history.

The angle from which he took it, the way he hit it, the technique, the way the ball meandered seductively through the russian wind... abeg inshort issa poetic something.

The goal is beautiful and cute. Watched it over and over. It has this beautiful, calm satisfying effect. More like the twin brother of Ronaldo's goal which, on the other hand, was wicked, ruthless and raw..

chai.. Madrid players be giving me joy.. grin . Hala Madrid

Then he should prove his mettle and stop costing his team.

Erm, who else was carefully observing the numerous pin- point diagonal end-to-end intercontinental passes Sergio Ramos kept firing from the defense all the way to the other end of the Portuguese half to Nacho's feet?

Oh boy! It was like he was using a laser guidance system to engineer those passes. Those measurements could be used to sew a tuxedo for a premature mosquito and it'll still fit.

Twitter was on fire tonight for Isco though. Everybody just dey praise and marvel at the guy foot work and work rate. One guy was like "Isco is not even a guaranteed starter for Real Madrid. Let that sink in"..
lol

I was impressed with our players tonight. I just hope they package and carry the fire I saw tonight back to Spain, to Madrid. It's clear what most of our players want/need is a "NEW Motivation" to want to break new barriers.

As for Modric and Kovacic, you both are the only Madrid players allowed to play absolutely and disgusting rubbish during this world cup. If you know you know. grin

The CR7 does NOT deserve a better contract crew!

We waiting. That's how they'll allow PSG to carry CR7 and they'd rest him throughout all the games and prepare him for UCL games (using derbies derbies and against bottom teams to boost his stats, impression, and to get him match ready). He'd win every trophy in France and prolly win the UCL for them.

How a Madrid fan after all CR7 has done for us can be so disrespectful beats me.

-Lord
Their argument is that he doesn't deserve to be paid as much as Messi and Neymar, these guys got their contracts under different circumstances. that's what Hopefu.lLandlord's argument was

He said Messi waited till he had a little over 6 months left and can legally sign a precontract with man city or PSG for free before agreeing a contract with Barca and He now earns 40% of their entire wagebill and on top of that still pay him under the table via his foundation. Neymar was a statement buy by PSG, a team we can't compete financially with so we should stop comparing them. a lot of our players can also earn more at PSG from Modrić to Carvajal to Kroos to Varane but they're here and none of you guys are fighting for them to be paid on par with the highest paid players in their positions like Modrić and Kroos earn less than Pogba, Oscar, Coutinho, De Buryne; Carvajal and Varane are earning less than Thiago Silva, Dani Alves, Van dijk

Madrid is not responsible for the wages other clubs are paying

Honestly I feel there's too much groupthink going on here and opposing opinions are made to look bad which might prevent certain opinions from being aired, it seems to be everywhere though as even Barca fans that raised issues with Messi's wages on reddit were also downvoted to hell by those not realising the financial problems it can lead to

I'll agree with you to some points... you made a mistake saying we (Madrid) can't compete with the Parisians financially... this really cracked me

Apart from Neymar and Mbappe you know of what other marque signing has they made in their history compared to the Galatico signings we've been making until Zidane came in charge

and the wages they earn at Madrid and in PSG is just another talk for another day cause am sure none of their mid fielders are earning more than Kroos and Modric... not even Veratti (i might be wrong tho')

3. I'll agree with you to some points... you made a mistake saying we (Madrid) can't compete with the Parisians financially... this really cracked me

2. Apart from Neymar and Mbappe you know of what other marque signing has they made in their history compared to the Galatico signings we've been making until Zidane came in charge

1. and the wages they earn at Madrid and in PSG is just another talk for another day cause am sure none of their mid fielders are earning more than Kroos and Modric... not even Veratti (i might be wrong tho')
1. I think you mixed two different points into one, what I was saying is that if any of our midfielders can be bought by PSG and they request PSG double their present wages it would happen in an instant, that point was meant to counter the talk about PSG chairman viewing Ronaldo and he'll pay him better than we are doing, to show that what applies to Ronaldo does to Kroos, Modrić and even Casemiro. I'm not saying those PSG midfielders are already earning better than ours which might actually be the case


2. Apart from Mbappe and Neymar? what of Cavani? Lavezzi? Ibrahimovic? David Beckham? Thiago Silva? also they are newly rich so comparing their history to ours is not fair in this discussion, its like asking what someone who just became a billionaire today has acquired compared to Dangote who's been there for decades more

3. We can't compete with them, that's a fact and the only thing preventing them pulling even more galactico is FFP. Perez said it in a statement in 2015 and it read thus, https://twitter.com/RubenPMN/status/861589428992692224

[b]In football everything changes. Real Madrid being the most valuable club is something that I don't know will continue for much longer. All of the European clubs are receiving lots of external funds. In Spain, we have Atletico and Valencia as examples. Then, in England there are the huge television deals. To those deals you can add the enormous amounts of money that they already have. Manchester City's money pertains to Abu Dhabi, PSG's to Qatar, various English teams have North American owners... Because of this we've changed our transfer strategy. We believe that we HAVE to have those Spanish and foreign wonderkids, we'll follow them and invest small amounts in them. If it goes well their prices will increase, and if it goes bad we will be sure that we do not lose much money. We have to have this strategy in order to continue competing with other teams which now have tons of money. We believe that with this strategy we will continue winning titles and will maintain our current position as the most valuable club in the world.[/b]


My point in my previous post is just to show there are good and intelligent arguments against paying Ronaldo a Messi and Neymar wages

You were crystal clear. Just wrong.

Real Madrid can compete financially with PSG. PSG is new money, Madrid is old money.

Dude, did you really read the posts in that episode?

First off, the bloke categorically said CR7 doesn't deserve a new contract and that we should force him to honor his contract for 3 yrs and afterwards release him.

Don't try to change the topic deftly.

Every Madridista I know affirms that many of our star players are not paid as well as they could be. CR7 is asking for a raise, and it's CR7 we're talking about. When the news that the club was giving Bale a new improved contract here, did you see any comment of people saying why give an injury-prone player who's always out for half a season an improved contract. Even though he earns 65k/wk less than CR7 already? Did anyone object to Marcelo getting an improved contract?

This isn't group think, it's common sense. You have the greatest player of all time playing at 33 like he is 23. This man has a net worth of $450m. It's not just about the money to him. You guys complaining about different circumstances for other clubs, what planet do you think we ply our trade in? We just bought an untested starlet for 45m. We are about to pay 80m for a GK (same amount we signed the GOAT btw). We would pay 250m+ to bring Neymar and would definitely give him same or high wages of 35m.

When it comes to Neymar, Rodrygo, Alisson or anyone else, we can be like other clubs; but when it comes to our GOAT and any of our star players, some of us start becoming penny wise, pound foolish. That's hypocrisy.

So I'll reiterate, it isn't about group think; it is about common sense. Hopefu.Landlord knew he was disrespectful that day, he even admitted to it, but wrapped it under this "it's a jerk move, but it's business." Now you're trying to turn things around. How about you read and understand what we're talking about before commenting?

Just an advice.

It's a funny statement.

We can't compete, but we want to buy Neymar with a 350m bid. We were willing to pay 200m for Kane if he was available. We'd gladly give 200m to land Salah.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. Just because you don't want to pay someone his due. Come to think of it, the genesis of this issue was that Perez promised CR7 an improved contract and went back at it, which led to CR7 making that statement after the CL final. Something everyone was annoyed about.

That's the genesis, and the consensus was that: If you made a commitment, follow it through. Don't play games. No one put a gun to his head to make a commitment to a 31-32 yr old CR7. 1 yr later and with him still performing at his best, you want to bring the "we don't have the financial buoyancy" excuse. No sh*t sherlock!

And now, he's making it seem like we are an unreasonable bunch, when he simply left the issue we were talking about and went on a different tangent.
