Ah of course he's gonna say that, he's his agent.
Hopefully everyone else is smart enough not to take him too seriously.
But a bit of comedy is never bad in football :D

This is what you get for a one season wonder (the 1 thing he did previously that could even remotely justify his price tag was the 2 good games against Inter).

Don't blame the player, blame the manager in this case. Why would you try to play possession-football when you have Ronaldo and Bale in the same team? They look lost and confused.

Still very overpriced though. And they certainly didn't need another selfish player in the team.

So I have this doubt... If a galactico turns out to be a disaster, will the whole business to buy him still turn out to be a financial profit for Madrid?

Even though Kaka was a horrendous failure, he was a global super star before he came to Real! So I presume he did cbring them profits?

It's hard to measure the impact of a single player. But you can see the annual revenue, and Madrid have increased theirs significantly and consistently every year. In that respect the overall financial strategy has paid off, although how much of that is because of Galacticos and how much is because of good work of the marketing department is unknown publically.
