still no defenders though.......
Kaka is a big signing for Real and so is ronaldo. Its a step towards Perez's goal of reuniting a team of Galacticos. But they need to do well in La Liga and very well in the champions league to be as domenant as they want to be so badly. They deffinatly have the caperbility
pellegrini is a good manager n he will manage to transform the players into a united group that will do wonders ;)
We know where the galatico will still end. Even if Madrid by holy spirit, i don't see them winning the cl. cos its not all about stars, but how to use them successfully. I wish them all the best at least to win la liga. But champions league, not yet.
