simplythebest 11,453 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Real Madrid in some senses perhaps isn't surprising but i hate it when a club like Man City is suddenly able to spend fortunes because a bunch of Arabs decided to take over. It's not just transfer fees but the wages are getting ridiculous as well, 300k a week is being mentioned for John Terry at City ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched it on the way to the Dominican where he spoke to Sheikh Mansour and to say that £300k a week is 'nothing' to this man is an understatement. He's currently building the biggest structure on the planet (a tower over 1 km high) and an amusement park that's bigger than Birmingham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneddon 6 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 its cringeworthy at times Tevez is all about money, hes never going to win anything at Man City who is Mark hughes planning on playing up front....... Santa Cruz, Robinho, Tevez, Bellamy, Bojinov, Benjani, Caicedo, Evans and possibly Adebayor not a proven goalscorer between them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david271994 0 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 No I like big money moves it excites me. Plus when real buy a player for £80 million they dont actually realise how much it is becuase its just numbers from one back account to another.

neilstonloyal 186 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I've been on RM for a few years now and I must admit, this season's transfer window has - so far - been absolutely ridiculous. I've seen it as a good thing that Madrid have spent so much in order to provide much needed competition domestically and in Europe, but some of the other deals have been incredible. £80m for one player is still amazing. The fact that £50m is required to become Real president in the first place ruled out most of Perez' competition, including Juan Onieva, Eugenio Martinez Bravo and Eduardo Garcia. Even the more popular posse of former players, led by Manolo Sanchis couldn't compete with Perez, himself one of Europe's ten richest men. Man City's deal for Tevez, their proposed deal for Adebayor and even Rennes' €11m move for Ismael Bangoura have also raised eyebrows. Now I remember most of what the members I respect highly say, and so far this year I've seen a couple of things that have made me think. As early as Kaka's proposed transfer to Madrid was rumoured, Danny wrote off 99.9% of footballers as untrustworthy Judases, while Muff has recently commented that money is 'killing his enjoyment'. Can we argue with them? I actually don't think we can. I honestly have no problem with Madrid's spending power as it's out of our league anyway - it's the diddy teams like Burnley, Bolton and Birminghams of this world that annoy me. The fact that Rangers (and Celtic, begrudgingly) cannot compete with these clubs is tragic. I have no idea where this is going to end and I worry that the bubble will need to burst in Britain first, which could have a terrible knock-on effect for Rangers.

nvager 498 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 It is fantasy land stuff. Millions are unemployed and footballers are demanding incredible wages for playing a game and some are not that good anyway - way overrated. It is a sad reflection on society's values in my opinion. I can see the bubble bursting in England with Sky at some point and that may do Rangers a good turn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amac9 2,060 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yes money HAS ruined football. When you see players earning money in one week that would take a normal worker such as a factory worker to earn over a period of 15 years is just fuckin ridiculous!

When you see players earning money in one week that would take a normal worker such as a factory worker to earn over a period of 15 years is just fuckin ridiculous! Yes, but there are thousands and thousands of people that are willing to shell out their money to watch these guys play football in person, on tv, and buy merchandise, etc. Nobody is willing to do that to a factory work.

NOLUWDC 1 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 From a Rangers perspective, it has ruined the game. I'm just waiting for the day they all go bust and we over-take them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macleod1873 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Without doubt. When teams like Rangers and celtic cant compete with the likes of Bolton Wanderers, Blackburn Rovers, Wigan Athletic etc. I think this just shows the state of football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
