Yeah, Kovacic, James, and Isco were also a strategy for the future.
Real Madrid continue their chase for young prospects
I have to say, this is the strategy for building a bright future. Very envious.
Lol right. I remember during last summer there was a member here who was raving about Real Madrid's "BIG strategies" for the future when they signed Kovavic. Now, only after a year there are strong rumors about him leaving Madrid.

Envy of what? We just signed 3 young players who are all 22.. And besides how many of those prospects will see the first team anyway? A lot less than our young talents thats for sure..
Those are younger prospects, under 20. Many of them have been loaned out to La Liga teams and some have been sold to other teams with buy-backs (for example Mayoral who will be joining Wolfsburg). Yes some of them might never make it to their first team but the fact that they are signing a lot of these (especially Spanish domestic talent) and loan them out to ensure more playing time and development does make me envious.
Sure many of you disagree, I am just stating my personal opinion.
You must be extremely envious of Chelsea then.
Well, I know Chelsea has a bunch of young players out on loan but honestly I don't know much about them (I do know about your compatriot Christensen though), I don't know if those players were plucked away by Chelsea when they were billed with high accolade etc, so I can't really comment.

“When Roberto Carlos left, I was in the starting 11, Sergio Ramos was centre back and sometimes right back, and Michel Salgado was the third in line to my spot. They had an election and said that they were going to have a third captain. The first captain was Raúl and the second Casillas, who gave up his captaincy to Salgado so that he could play. That’s where this little group started. Julio Baptista told me that it was over.
“I was the one who was punished. When I went to sit down and tell them I wanted to leave for Roma, I talked with Totti and Doni and they told me that Real Madrid were screwing me over. If I’d been professional, I’d still be there.
“Guti, Salgado, Helguera, Raúl and Casillas were the leaders of this little group. Those who joined the group were the ones who were obedient. They manipulated, and they brainwashed the press and the coach (Juan Ramón). For example, one day Ronaldo had a bad game, and the next day it was all over the front pages that Raúl was better than Ronaldo. Raúl would have to be born three times to try and be like him.
“You were in their country, winning as many titles as them, playing in their position. I arrived there and Michel Salgado had already been at the club 11 years. In the changing room, each player had their own locker and he would go around greeting everybody, but when he came to me he’d just act like wasn’t there and skip over me. That was in the beginning, after I’d already bent down to him and tied his bootlaces. But afterwards, we actually had a very good relationship. He was a guy who never tried to screw me over. He excluded me a bit at first, but then later never. I was the guiltiest one of not having been able to stay at Real Madrid.”
