There seems to be no stopping Real Madrid after their furious burst of transfer activity so far this summer.
Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Raul Albiol have already put pen to paper on mega-deals at the Bernabeu, with Franck Ribery likely to be next to join Los Merengues.
Where will it end? With a seemingly bottomless pit of money available, more new recruits are certain to follow as Florentino Perez delivers on his promise to bring in another Galatico era.
It can only be bad news for their rivals, both at home and abroad.
But there may be a silver lining to Real's dominance of the transfer market. With so many new stars arriving, surely a cull of the existing squad will soon follow?
Arjen Robben, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Rafael van der Vaart (pictured), Klass Jan Huntelaar, Wesley Sneijder - all players whose Madrid careers may well be at an end.
Clubs across Europe are on red alert - which Real outcasts would you like to see playing for your team next season?

I'LL LOVE TO SEE ARJEN ROBBEN IN LIVERPOOL SQUAD AS THAT WILL MAKE THE ATTACKING LINE MORE SHARPER.
i would like higuain huntalaar sneider and possibly robben at united van de vaart and van nistlerooy could prob do a job for man city or villa
Can't believe all this fuss about Real spending big money on these players, fair play to them i say, to be honest they were so far behind Barca in La liga last season and with the spanking Liverpool gave them the Champs lge they had to do something, a team like them needs to challanging for title's all the time. But what gets me is why they're buying all these attacking players they really need to sort out there defence they conceded more goals in the league than the like's of Deportivo, Espanyol, Osasuna, Seville and Racing Santander, if they they don't they still wont catch Barca and will probably get knocked out the champs lge in the 1\4 finals again.
Oh and another thing whats gonna happen to them when UEFA bring in this stupid 6/5 rule as i can only see 3 Spanish players in there possible starting XI, or will UEFA have a sudden change of heart???
p.s. I can't see all of those Dutch players staying, with the world cup coming up they'll all want to be playin every week.
I would give my right arm for Robben. Bring him to Man U.
A side note - Benzema is an unproven talent that flopped at the Euro's. Kaka hasn't been that great for a while. And this aint sour grapes but Ronaldo was amazing, however last season he wasn't even one of the top 5 players at Man u, let alone the world. His general performances where actualy quite average/poor.
Their all big names with big ego's, joining other big names with big ego's. The type of Ego's that think they don't have to track back and even if they did, their pretty useless. Barca have the top 3 players in the world and have unity. Barca will still be the best team in Spain. End of.
Tottenham...the lot of them.
tell you what people can moan all they want but the truth is they would be over the moon if the same thing happened to their club. i just cant wait to see Real Madrid in action next season.
Chelsea should re sign robben, and Huntellarr.
Klass Jan Huntelaar to UTD !!!!!!
real are buying attack only players and are getting rid of players who are more defensive then them, they may become the bet attacking team in the world but their defence will be very poor.
LIVERPOOL 5 - REAL MADRID 0 NUFF SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bigjeffrules, I think he is. I think he is the most consistant and if it was wasnt for him real would have been a lot worse last season. A lot of dodgy defending in front of him but he still keeps it together. thats opinion anyway so you cant say their sis no chance Im right. Cech is still 1 of the best and he had an up and down season
I think robben should go to Everton for 25 million and sneijder to man utd for 20-30 million as they neeed another free kick taker. also van der vaart should go to AC milan to replace kaka and strengthen their midfield.
Real buyed all this class players WHO IS ACKING WHAT IS THE GOAL
WHEN MAN-CITY LAST YEAR HE ANONCED THAT HE WANT SOME CLASS PLAYER TO MADE THE CLUB TO GET FORWARD WE HEARED A COMENT FROM TO MENY SIDES AND THEY NOT WELL COME THIS STEP
AND THEY SAID THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE REPUTION OF THE SPORTS AND THE SPIRIT OF SPORT
TO DO THAT AND WHY ALL ARE SILENT ABOUT WHAT REAL DOING THIS YEAR
I cannot wait for Real to fail miserably this coming season. Hopefully they will visit el Heliodoro Rodriguez López in Tenerife on the last day of the season, playing for the title but crashing to defeat as they have done twice in the past.
Ruud is still one of the best in the world.
Madrid will be sorry...
As a Barca fan, I'm not worried, little bit ****** off, but I dont think its going to work for a number of reasons which I've stated so many times. This is disgusting though, HOW on EARTH can players like Robben and Sneijder been counted as players who have no career at Madrid anymore? They are both fantastic, Robben has basically carried the team over the last two seasons, and then they just chuck them away. **** Off Madrid, next season they wont win jack
real madrid are ruining football
If Real don't acquire Alonso (or a similar possessing Holding Mid) and a strong Center Half they won't be winning matches against Barca. Even with Kaka and Ronaldo, they are not a better attacking team than Barca. Chemistry will most likely kill Real this year.
Sneijder is the right man for Man United and Robben can be a BIG threat on the wing so he will most likely sign for Ac Miian or Chelsea.
Huntelaar would be great for Inter Milian with Imbrahimvic as a partner or a replacement for him.
Van Nistelrooy would be a suitable striker for West Ham as Ashton is either unfit or looking to leave with Cole playing beside the former Manchester United player or he could join Lyon as a replacement for Benzema and a stiker swap.
Van Der Vaart is likely to move to a meduim classed probalbly Euro League team with Aston Villa or Everton on the Radar.
id love to see Sneijder, at Liverpool, hes a brilliant player and a step up from Benayoun, Kuyt and Lucas as an attacking midfielder
