StanSP Posted 13 June 2009 Posted 13 June 2009 Ronaldo: 80m Kaka: 56m Villa: 40m 176m and summer transfer window has only just begun. Scary times.
Libertine Posted 13 June 2009 Author Posted 13 June 2009 Alonso next. Very plausible. I don't really follow Spain, who do they have in that sort of role?
Stevosevic Posted 13 June 2009 Posted 13 June 2009 Very plausible. I don't really follow Spain, who do they have in that sort of role? They have Gago, Diarra and Diarra, but this Alonso story won't seemt to go away. Their squad is very strong in Midfield - Kaka, Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Guti, Gago, Diarra, Diarra, Ronaldo, Robben, De la Red etc... Shame about their defence.
Libertine Posted 13 June 2009 Author Posted 13 June 2009 Insane. Really need a defence, then they might actually win something with these new galacticos.
StanSP Posted 13 June 2009 Posted 13 June 2009 Raul Albiol might be a target. Valencia will crumble now. Silva rumoured to go somewhere too.
shiv Posted 13 June 2009 Posted 13 June 2009 According to BBC Sport gossip column, they have bid £8M for Arbeloa
StanSP Posted 13 June 2009 Posted 13 June 2009 According to BBC Sport gossip column, they have bid £8M for Arbeloa They're taking it easy now. Relax mode.
Bryn Posted 13 June 2009 Posted 13 June 2009 If Villa leaves Valencia, they don't have to sell anyone else.
MarkDeVries Posted 13 June 2009 Posted 13 June 2009 If Villa leaves Valencia, they don't have to sell anyone else. I disagree. 700 million euros in debt. Somehow I don't think he will cover it.
Bryn Posted 13 June 2009 Posted 13 June 2009 I disagree.700 million euros in debt. Somehow I don't think he will cover it. Most of the sources I've read have implied that if they sell Villa, they can just about keep hold of Silva.
StanSP Posted 13 June 2009 Posted 13 June 2009 If Villa leaves Valencia, they don't have to sell anyone else. How did you come to that conclusion? As MDV, the debts are much more than 40m which is what is being paid for Villa. They are on the brink of collapsing, or they were in April(ish). They may have restructured partially but they are still heavily in debt.
haraven Posted 13 June 2009 Posted 13 June 2009 Oh, I do so hope that Barcelona, or any other Spanish club for that matter, demolish the galacticos...
StanSP Posted 13 June 2009 Posted 13 June 2009 Oh, I do so hope that Barcelona, or any other Spanish club for that matter, demolish the galacticos... Definitely.
StanSP Posted 13 June 2009 Posted 13 June 2009 Raul Albiol might be a target. Valencia will crumble now. Silva rumoured to go somewhere too. Albiol is going to Real aswell.Source: SSN. Okay, so it was kind of obvious .
Guest Bilo Posted 13 June 2009 Posted 13 June 2009 Defence anyone? Real are absolutely atrocious at the back. They had the seventh worst defensive record in La Liga last season. That's what cost them the title, that's what was responsible for the 6-2 defeat to Barca and the 4-0 defeat to Liverpool. It's all very well going for the 'Hollywood' signings that will sell thousands of shirts around the world, but ultimately Real are a football club as well as a business entity and the success of the club on the pitch is inextricably linked to the club's success off it. While they were in Manchester, they should have made an offer for Vidic or Ferdinand but they chose not to because neither will sell anything like the number of shirts and merchandise that Villa, Kaka or Ronaldo will. They will finish second to Barca again, make no mistake about it.
MarkDeVries Posted 13 June 2009 Posted 13 June 2009 Yeh, but you said might. Sky Sports said will. Therefore, I win
Edmund Posted 13 June 2009 Posted 13 June 2009 Alonso next. 30mill apparently and Benitez will accept. Thats way overpriced imo.
StanSP Posted 13 June 2009 Posted 13 June 2009 Yeh, but you said might.Sky Sports said will. Therefore, I win Fine. But if Valencia crumble I win because I said that they will.
