Sure, this is the Real Madrid we're talking about. (sarcastic) [lord quas]

We've been disgraced left and right last season so you had to know that we'll be going all out to set it all straight this summer Well said madridista perez clearly stated that hell be doing three summers’s work in just this one and I don’t see what’s wrong with that at all.

Ummm, You won the league twice? “I think you have to remember that Pérez and many Real Madrid fans, myself included, wish the last three years under Calderón never happened.”

He's trying to make up for lost time. So where most clubs make one or two big signings in the off-season and a few young players and backups, Pérez is "doing three seasons' work in one". Raúl Albiol came without any fanfare. Most people, if they remember Albiol at all, are thinking, "three attackers and one defender? Galácticos!" But don't forget Pérez clearly intends to keep Casillas, Ramos and Pepe, while the only two attackers in the squad who are assured of their squad places are Raúl and Higuaín, and even then they are not necessarily guaranteed a first-team place. So of course he's going to be buying more midfielders and strikers. It seems silly to most that we should buy Kaka when we have Sneijder, Van Der Vaart and Guti in his position, except - if you could afford Kaka, would you not take him over any of the other three? Ronaldo over Robben, Drenthe and Marcelo (and one guy by the name of Faubert)? Benzema or Saviola? (Though I don't consider Benzema necessarily an improvement over Huntelaar.) Most clubs are limited by their finances, but Real Madrid happen not to be and they're using that privilege. It's probably nothing to do with trying to make Kaka feel like "one of the guys".

What is wrong with u? Real Madrid needed streangthening and they are doing what they belive is best for the club. If that means buying players for €200m then thats their bizzniz and non of yours! Are you a nother bitter Man u fan? Lost Ronaldo to us and also lost out on Benz? U want Ribery but he only wants Real Madrid, tough shit my friend. Or is your problem that u are a suporter of another team, who needs strengthening but your team budget only would get you Ronaldos pinky toe?
