Real Madrid have now paid 75.5M to buy 3 players: Isco (30M), Illarramendi (39M), Carvajal (6.5M)

We have better players that came for Free from La Masia...

Montoya > Carvajal.

Busquets > Illaramendi who's just 1 year younger.

Thiago > Isco.

Even if we sell Thiago, we'll still have 18-22M (+).

Yeah but the difference between Real Madrid and us is that we have the worst transfer policy in football history :lol:

If we had made good transfers with the players we spent a lot of money on ever since Pep took over we would have won the CL 5 times in a row by now.

The kid has an amazing talent, A great vision of the field, and everything it takes to pair up in the future with Busquets in the Spanish Midfield, if he keeps progressing well.

Javi Martinez certainly isnt a better partner to Busquets lol.

That's a big if. It remains to be seen if he can even handle the pressure of a big club. Comparing him with Javi Martinez who was a key player in this seasons dominant Bayern side is also premature.

Neymar won't be defending for Barca next season
Judging by the Confederations Cup final Neymar can press just fine.

He'd be better than what we have there now. He wouldn't get a spot in midfield but he'd walk into the RW spot.
No he wouldn't, Isco lacks pace, play him on the right and he'd make Pedro look like Messi.

Then there's the fact that they're filling up the holes in their team and strengthening it in multiple positions. While so far, we've only signed one player (again, I think it was a good signing, even though I don't like the price).

Isco isn't better than Ozil or Cristiano, Illa isn't currently better than Alonso. Carvajal has proven nothing at the highest level, in La Liga or with Spain. The strengthening is very unclear. On the other hand, Neymar, not just a good player but someone who looks like a genuine Balon D'or contender in the near future has to try to improve on a ponderous Villa, can't score for months Alexis and Pedro, and a one dimensional Tello.

:lol: easier to improve a poor team.......:lol: like Real are that much poorer than Barca! Have a word!

They are fifteen points poorer.

Agree, we made a lot of stupid transfers in the past few years.
My point is that RM are still behind...

I like your sig, although I want Messi to win WC 2014... A Final (ARG) vs Spain/Brazil would be awesome

I really want Messi to get to the final, hoping from Brazil-Argentina & Spain-Germany semis, and Spain-Argentina final. I'm still rooting for the Spanish to win it, but I hope Messi gets the Golden Boot and player of the tournament so everyone can shut up about how he sucks internationally.

The whole Thiago vs. Isco thing really boils down to subjectivity, they're both great in different ways.

Since madrid have gotten illaramendi,luckily for us we should be able to get gundogan next season to replace xavi.

i agree except i'd say Isco is at least as good as Thiago if not a bit better.

no doubt Real have had an excellent summer though. i was hoping they'd waste a load of money on Bale but instead they've appointed a classy, experienced, proven manager and added 3 top young players to their squad. shame.

still we have:

Busquets/Song
Xavi/Thiago
Iniesta/Cesc

and then possibly:

Busquets/Samper
Thiago/Óliver
Cesc/Rafinha

and if we lose Thiago (i think he'll stay) then we can buy Gündoğan.

Isco is better than Thiago, although Isco has two seasons where he starts regularly under his belt but I can't deny Isco looked the better player at the U21 Championship even if just slightly.
