Ask as many questions as possible, just make sure not to post one line comments, this forum will come and get you, LOLOL! The secret is in putting a '?' after everything, even if it is a comment. And do not worry about your posts not making sense, if we could understand Beast with his 67th language and zero punctuality (everything makes sense with ... btw), we will make sense out of your posts.

I just followed Real Madrid when I was young because we had La Liga on tv back in UAE. It was destiny, whenever I watched football, it was Real Madrid so I fell in love. They were just on tv and as a little kid I just watched football.

Wait. Stop all other discussions. Gio is there any truth in the the article below?

Ronaldo to pick up £29m-a-year from Real?
By Soccernet staff

June 12, 2009

Real Madrid-bound winger Cristiano Ronaldo looks set to become one of the highest paid sports stars in the world.


Ronaldo: Record transfer

A report in Friday's Times newspaper claims that although the player, who is set to complete a word record £80m move from Manchester United to Real by the end of the month, would initially earn £9.5m-a-year the contract would include a 25% increase season-on season.

The 24-year-old is expected to sign a six-year contract at the Bernabeu, which means by the final year he would be on £29m-a-year - or £557,000-a-week - which is reportedly 33 times what the average Spaniard earns. And this is in a country which is suffering from high unemployment of over 18%.

It means the player will pocket £107m over the length of his contract. But it would not put him in the top five of the sporting pay league, which is led by golfer Tiger Woods.

Ronaldo, who celebrated his move by partying the night away with Paris Hilton in Los Angeles, has revealed his pride at being the subject of an ''historic'' £80m bid from Real.

''I have had my time at Man United. It's time to look forward and £80m is quite a sum of money. This deal is historic,'' said Ronaldo. ''It's flattering when two of the top teams in the world want you to play for them.

''Now I can look forward to Real Madrid and a new stage in my career. I learned of the deal here in LA and heard from my people that United had accepted.''

Ronaldo will also benefit from healthy tax breaks provided by the Spanish government which would not be available to him in England. It is a situation which one financial expert believes could force other big names to leave the Premier League. Arsenal's Andrei Arshavin is already disillusioned at his tax bill.

Joe McLean, a partner with Grant Thornton, believes high-earning stars will inevitably be drawn to countries like Spain due to the prospect of the 50% income tax rate coming into force in the UK next April.

''By going to Spain, Ronaldo will be paying several million pounds a year less in tax,'' McLean told said.

''His advisors will undoubtedly have been saying to him that, although Manchester United and Real Madrid are both superstar clubs, the fact is in the UK he will pay £5m in tax on £10m, whereas in Spain it will be £2.5m.

''Over a four-year contract that's a huge amount of money, so it becomes of relevance. It might not be a major factor in deciding where players go, but it is certainly a factor.''

There remains questions marks over the financial of Real's summer transfer boom, with the signing of Kaka making it an outlay of £139m with David Villa likely to be the next player through the door.

In Spain it has been claimed that Banco Santander have provided credit of ¬70m to be repaid over four years.

Uefa chief executive Michel Platini has already voiced his disapproval and now wants new transfer rules in place.

Galway-based ForgottenGold.com has worked out that Ronaldo is worth 57 times his weight in gold.

pure English media source BS copied by soccernet, expect a lot of that now... just like when Beckham arrived...

it make no sense economically or logically ... the same English Media (telegraph ) are reporting problems due to CR refusing to be on a lesser salary scale then Kaka (180 K a week ) ..and that's what i was telling sunny about yesterday that CR is on 160 K a week

because our u18 team is all 15 year olds all of u18 play u21 everyone has bumped up beacuse their level

yeah sure...

£107 million if he sees out his contract ! That's like the worth of a small African country if not more.

 

[TheReason]

Anyone who thinks an African country is worth lewss than 107 million pounds is an ignorant piece of shit!...Fact most countries in Africa are sitting on resources that make that figurelooklike a joke, the main cause of poverty in Africais corrupt elite left in charge by colonial masters who fend hfor their pockets and sell off their countries to dodgy multinationals belonging to their former masters....That analogy or watever u wld call it just reeks of ignorance and naevity stick to discussing footy and gloating about ur treble and how u raped ur eternal enemies in the ass this season.


Perez is a prat!! but the fact that no one else could stand up to him shows the sorry state of Madrid elite at the moment...Football has been evolving to developinginto this seven headed hydra- beast across all the continents and Madrid are just making a clear statement "How ever you want it, you dont want it cos when u get it, it hurts!!!!"

Madrid won three titles with wat people described as mediocre team...even though in my opinion they showed alot of class and entertainment especially two seasons ago..so u catalans better stop touching your self in front of a mirror and gloating over ur treble and face up to reality...PEREZ is here footballs version of kaizer souse .

PS just finished reading "Homage To Catalonia" and i have to say, Catalans are a bunch of spoilt middle-class lazy burgeous thinking people who would use any excuse to blame the world rather than look in the mirror...sort of like Emos and Goths.:2145960713mundoemot

latest... Negredo + 25 Million for Villa... could be announced very soon

I am only a 21 year old Engineer student, I do not have a business background so it is hard for me to differentiate between the different words, the different meanings and the context in which they are put. I do not have any applicable knowledge on how business are run, nor do I have any experience in accounting molding of numbers for the public.

Do they not teach you any business economics or similar courses as a civil engineer student? That would be logical within your education.

So you base your opinion of an entire people on one book written over 70 years ago by a radical socialist? I have to say that "just reeks of ignorance and naevity [sic]". Maybe you should stick to moaning about the evil white people who have left Africa in a heap of trouble, or maybe you could do us all a favour and fuck off.

That should conclude it for the offensive compartiment... or do you think they will sign another offensive player?

 

[TheReason]

truth hurts...and Homage to catalonia is just a final nail in the coffin of ur so called socialist revolution. Orwell was Pro-catalonia but like the rest of the propaganda thathas spewed from that revolution, still fails to hide a few bitter home truth..

I wonder if you love been victims more than the athletico faithful. .....lol

Anyway back on track..the Perez madness continues Villa apparently and Xabi Alonso next?? plus good riddance to bad robben...

Meanwhile apparently Barca want snow-white and the7 dwarfs ... hence the pursuit of Ibrahimovic and eventual sale of Eto'o. This summer gets more and more interesting let the hypocrites bicker and pout

the only forward ... they don't need anyone upfront anymore ..
just Saviola and someone else should leave ..
another winger or keep Robben and that concludes it.. i think they will get Granero back

then defense purchase after they conclude selling some players .. it's still toooooooo early.. but i see Pellegerini requesting everything to be settled before the pre-season for the first time under Perez or any other president

Who do you support and why the hell are you here? You're spouting a bucket of nonsense including about a "revolution". What revolution? I'm not a socialist and the Spanish civil war was a result of a coup d'etat by far-right nationalsists, not a revolution by socialists or other left-wingers.

Beast, do you think that the Kaka signing signals the end of the "Cesc to Madrid" rumours and, in effect, the end of your chances of ever signing the Catalan?

first don't dis anything related to Orwell .. Orwell is God ..

Yeah i think Cesc could have been an option if Wenger arrived (as he would play differently ) ..so unless Pellegerini decide to deploy a 4-3-3 .. i see no place for Cesc in the near future.. it was him or Kaka and they choose Kaka.. that's the end of it .. Cesc will be an option for Barca in the next 2 years ... so i think next summer could be a big possibility that u get him..who knows .. maybe this summer ?
i don't think he was ever considered by Perez.. it would be a hidden acknowledgment of Barca youth system

 

[Warik]

TheReason sounds like a right idiot tbh. Never heard as much drivel in my life. Someone who claims to know what a peoples ideals and attitudes are in the modern times because of one book written about 70-80 years ago doesn't even deserve the dignity of a response other than being mocked for his own stupidity. Especially when he has the idiocy to put a Barça smiley after insulting the club and the majority of people who support it.

Anyway, Graham Hunter (who as the Brits will tell you is very respected) says it might actually be:

Negredo + Granero + 20m = Albiol + Villa

 

[Beast]

so in money it's 15 (Negredo ) + 10 (Granero) + 20 Mil = 45 Mil for albiol & Villa... sounds good for me.. i wanted Granero to stay though
