Real Madrid (old thread)

[Beast]

Sport say

u know you could also mention that Sport said the Newspaper in question (THE SUN ) reported the fee to be 35 Million

http://www.sport.es/default.asp?idpublicacio_PK=44&idioma=CAS&idnoticia_PK=634965&idseccio_PK=805

but i guess that don't help the debate.. mentioning something like the SUN as their source

 

[Cule Angles]

Certainly a more reliable source than Real Madrid.

It says "the official version indicates that real madrid will pay 30m€". The use of the word "version" implies that there is an alternative truth which may be more accurate, MD certainly doesn't accept the 30m€ fee as a definite fact.



Astronomical and they have to meet a 50m€ loan payment at the end of the season.

Astronomical for some not all.. Xabi will get 4.5 Mil a year which is very good salary IMO ..

if EMD had a different price they would scream it on top of the Catalan capital and u know it..

Certainly a more reliable source than Real Madrid.

AS & Marca are way more reliable than the SUN

 

[Cule Angles]

Give them time.

Sunny isn't it time to revive your Perez thread ?

I hope the Basque-Spanish relationship becomes more accepting once Xabi Alonso wears el blanco. Otherwise, it's going to backfire politically. <_<

 

[BarcafaninIllinois]

I am personally amazed that Liverpool actually sold Xabi for that little. He was a very solid player for Liverpool during their 2005 Champions League run.

now that the team is complete (i know Nandor will have a Ribery wish but it is complete ) the operation out is in full throttle with 4 players need to go before the end of the month .. according to the latest reports

4 out of 5 will leave the club Huntelaar (Spurs-Milan ),VDV (Hamburg),Robben(refused a move to Turkey could end in Roma ),Sneijder(inter-Aston villa-Chelsea-B Munich ),Negredo (several Spanish and English teams )..

the club decided to keep Drenthe due to his ability to develop into something bigger and Ruud due to his service to the club
(the above based on AS )
meanwhile it is decided that Salgado farewell game will be in the Santiago Bernabeu trophy against Milan

 

[Cule Angles]

So what happens to the two Diarras now?

 

[Abaddon]

We should really keep Sneijder and Huntelaar OR Negredo.
