I know they absolutely destroyed my beloved United in­ the Champions' League final but I will certainly be­ hoping that Barca win La Liga this season.

Madrid have­ a GREAT history, something to be truly proud of, but I­ don't like the idea of titles being­ 'bought'.

Of course there's jealousy...­ every supporter would love their club to have that kind­ of revenue at hand.. but the old romantic in me wants­ to see the big shot stumble.

PEREZ IS THE MOST STUPID FOOTBALL PRESIDENT IN THE­ WORLD. ASSEMBLING A CLUSTER OF
ADVERTISING STARS WILL­ NOT BRING HIM ANY TROPHIES. HE SHOULD HAVE PUT HIS­ MONEY IN
SHARES ON THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.

andrew f - I agree with you 100%. The only hope Real­ Madrid have with all those egos is to have Kaka be the­ leader of the team. He is down to earth, humble and­ focused solely on winning. He can probably teach­ Ronaldo a thing or two in these categories which would­ make Ronaldo an even greater player. It's a lot to­ ask of Kaka but he really is Real's only hope of­ not having another Galaticos failure. If it works­ (transforming egos into a team of talented and humble­ players focused on winning) then this Real Madrid squad­ could be something special for the ages.

Even togh Real Madrid have big names in the club , it­ doesn`t mean that they will win everyting and i will­ tell u why .
Ronaldo will consider himself as the best­ there is in the dresing room and it will end up going­ to his head because the fans love Kaka` and eventualy­ Benzema because they love there fans back and they play­ fairly without any acting or facking like C.Ronaldo­ does .Ronaldo is only there for the money for sure and­ because it is a beutiful City where a lot of famous­ woman go as C.R already spotted Paris Hiltin 2 nights­ after he arrived !!!!!
plus C.R is always showing off .­ u can tell by d way he shoots a freekick !
But still I­ dont believe Benzema is worth that much beacause if u­ think like that Torres from 27mil , he should be worth­ like 42mil because Torres is 10 times better then­ Benzema
Hope u ike it .
YNWA

they may be buying up all of the best players in the­ world at the moment it doesn't make a great team.­ hope they fall flat on thier face and go bankrupt.

Welcome Benzema...
HALA Madrid !

I think that all of these players that are in such a­ hurry to join Real Madrid should take a step back and­ have a good hard think . How the hell will they fit all­ of those massive egos in the changing room .
Without­ doubt they are all fantastic players that have stood­ out in their previous teams . But how will the likes of­ Ronaldo cope by not being the centre of attention. I­ think the only player that will thrive by being at Real­ will be Kaka. He is an amazing player that doesn't­ crave all the media attention .
I also think that­ Madrid will implode under all of the expectation it has­ placed on it's shoulders .
I am a Manchester­ United fan but I still think that Barcelona are THE­ best club side in the world by a very long way .

True, Real Madrid have more financial fire-power­ (albeit unfair) than any club in the world. But they­ are bound to dissappoint their fans next season and­ beyond. The expectation is now so incredibly enormous­ and in reality, unrealistic. With this new squad they­ are expected to win abolutely everything: CL, La Liga,­ Copa del Rey etc. I just think that despite their­ superstar players, there is still a lot of parity­ amoungst the elite clubs in the world, and I include­ Chelsea, ManU, and Liverpool in that category.

so real can spend money it wont stop the likes of­ liverpool thumping them in the champions leaugue next­ season

My wife wrote that last night and she is a loon/barca­ fan. I think she is right

With Kaka, Ronaldo, Benzema & probably Ribery, I­ think the only GALACTICO left for Perez to sign is GOD.­ Fortunately He is not a Transfer option available to­ Real Madrid. The host of GALACTICOS have failed in the­ past. No Guarantee that they will succeed this time. As­ a team I feel, BARCELONA are still better...

So much beef for REAL, Y??? we now have financial­­ experts that predict their financial collapse (last­­ time arround, florentino did the same and made real­ the­ richest club in the world) Others that call them­ names­ Franco hitler and so on. Others that say they­ bribe. My­ God Y.
Y are u all displaying 1) the little­ jealous­ child u have inside 2) the racist part of u­ 3)fabricate­ stories to actually look more­ credible.
What Madrid has­ that will be almost­ impossible to copy in the EPL
1) a­ fan base bigger­ than most people can imagine
2)­ Gracious in defeat and­ Humble in Victory (if I´m wrong­ correct me, but i­ actually watched the fans applaud­ Ronaldinho and Messi­ when they were humiliated in their­ own stadium by­ their eternal rivals)
3) Make profit­ from their­ investments (and I don´t mean by selling­ their­ stars)
Simply put the REAL MADRID FANS deserve­ the­ best and Florentino is giving it to them, doesn´t­­ always translate to trophy's but I believe they´ll­­ give it a good try. And that's why Real Madrid is­­ the greatest team in the world by a big­­ margin.
Newcastle will be back next year. GO LOONS

To all people criticising real madrid, you are just­ jealous for what real madrid can do to strenghten their­ team for this coming seasons unlike your team who can,t­ afford to spend money to strenghten it.

Big big mistake by Benzema. He is going to spend more­ time on the bench than on the pitch. It's a shame­ because he's talented with a lot of potential. He­ would have a much brighter future at ManU or even­ Arsenal. I think Arsenal would have been a better fit­ for him considering all the french players (&­ coach) on that team and the fact they currently lack a­ potent threat up front. He'd start every game if­ he had joined Arsenal...

REAL MADRID SHOULD BUY BRTINEY SPEARS AS WELL TO­­­­ ENTERTAIN THE SUPPORTERS BETWEEN HALF­ TIME.ABSOLUTELY­­­ JOKERS CHANGING FOOTBALL TO A SHARE­ MARKET.NO MORE­­­ FOOTBALL ITS ALL MONEY MARKET

Im a Barcelona fan and should Madrid not win anything­ this term i will be more then happy ......

This will­ end Real Madrids as a club in a few years time they­ will be bankrupt and most likely­ relegated.....

Ronaldo ALONE will cost them­ £200million (£80 million for his transfer fee) And the­ rest in his contract which will increase 25% EACH­ YEAR....

not a good choice..poor benzema
