Madrid are better run than this club and it's no surprise many players would prefer going there. Barca could face some troubles getting targets, I'm actually surprised they pulled of de jong and probably de ligt. As far as I know real weren't in for them though.

They are not better run than us. Some players simply prefer them to us for a variety of reasons. In Jovic's case, it is said that (1) he thinks he has a better chance playing regularly there and (2) Madrid has a good relationship with Frankfurt because of Vallejo and other dealings in the past.

Pretty much the same pulling power if you ask me. Some players prefer us, some prefer them. Style matters too. De Jong would always prefer Barca to Madrid for example, even if they were in for him.

What Barca style are you referring too. It was during Pep's era. Just say goodbye already. Our style was awful during Tata, got worse during Lucho and we completely lack any sort of style with VV.

We can attract players still, but it's based on history not style...and of course Messi. Betting on players joining based on a style we haven't played with in half a decade doesn't make sense.

Well done for Real Madrid in controlling both the transfer fee and the salary.

Meanwhile we are willing to pay 17m a year for a 28-year old drama queen.

^Sorry. The deal is actually done. I do not really mind AG one bit. I think his price is fair and it should not really be a big problem. I am just concerned that he is going to replace Dembele or hurt his development.

Hi, its me..
bit of a shame, but he knows he'll play at madrid. He'd probably sit on the bench for suarez most of the time here
