James Rodriguez

[JamDav1982]

according to Bild who are quite reliable with Bayern pays €10m for the 2year loan and then they have the option to sign him permanently for €35,2m

Awful deal for Real if that is true.

Even if does well best case scenario is a 35m loss and probably in a market that has exploded even further.

Not sure about that. Ibra's reputation in Italy was incredible, while James has no reputation in any league really. But it is a bad deal by RM if there is no annual loan fee. No club willing to smash their own wage structure for him most likely. If James joins and becomes by far the best paid player in his new team, all other stars in that team will demand more as well.

James has a reputation in France and English teams would want him just not willing to pay anywhere close to what Real wanted by sound of it.

With Ibra I think Man City did want him and offered more than Milan but he didnt want to go.

I am looking it this way
In 2010 our board found that:
1-Ibra is trouble maker and he had broken relation with coach
2-He is almost 29
3-Pep want him to get the hell out of here, Pep never renewed before his deals was finalized (that is why Chyg and Ibra was signed in 1st place,Txiki opposed both and wanted Villa from the start) and new board has to get Pep what he wants.
4-Ibra wants Italy. He has already limited your options.

James?
1-He isn't really a trouble maker or unwelcome that way.
2-He is 26
3-Probably would have been open to go to PL.

I think that what makes Ibra selling less worse.
Anyway, both are terribly bad -unless Marca story proves to be true- and they are 7 years separated.

It looks like a great deal by Bayern, if he adapts well Bayern will only pay Mierda about half the price they bought him from Monaco...

 

[khaled_a_d]

Marca reporting Bayern must buy him in 2019 for 60M€.

Still very strange they didn't sell him to United for 80M or so.

From what I've read that Marca reporting 60M including loan. That is more than the 10M for loans and 35M for purchase reported.
Someone suggest that Marca is counting his wage too, won't count that possibility out

Lol Mende robbed Madrid here hahahahshahsh

This btw gets worse for us when Bayern improve too and we do nothing whatsoever.

Are you sure Milan paid 100% of Ibra's wages though? They were sky high at the time. I am sure RM tried to sell James to PL but if no team are willing to smash their wage structure for him then the options are limited. And we dont know what James' preferences are anyway. I think Ibra's reputation in Italy was almost like a Maradona type player. James is good but doesnt have that reputation.

Seems like there is some loan fee involved in the James deal, plus paying his wages.

I'm just saying our competitors are getting better while we're were we were, or could get worse if Paulinho is our midfield saviour

Milan payed all of his wages.

Why not? They have a frightening team. RM were lucky to knock them out. And they are strengthening with Sule, Tolisso, James and more.

 

[Hamzah]

They're the type of team barca can do well against. It's the atletico and juventus and Chelsea's that give barca problems

Well we have some nightmares against them, remember. So you cant really generalize and say they dont give us problems.

Yeah,we didn't paid Ibra wage, that was the only reason we accepted that deal at the end.
