or they didnt want to sell the guy easily..

a comparison could be the fact that pedro leon's buy out clause is close to 10m euros

Well of course they didn't want to sell him for peanuts, but if Di Maria really showed intent of going Benfica would have no power over placing a gigantic price-tag on his head. Or considerably less power.

the dream scenario would be: we get Cesc for 45-50, at max. they get david luiz and angel for 80. both turn to be flops. cesc is the busbreaker. we win CL and Liga. Alcorcon wins CdR :D(if we win treble, the salary bonuses will be too much.)

Yeah amazing.. cause the record fee paid for a full back (which happen to have a name of Danni Alves - 36 Million with incentive ) was a direct result to Real Madrid buying Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka..
or unproven Recreativo Loanee is worth 17 Mill

U lot are a bunch of hypocrites who swing opinion when it suits you

the market was inflated long before CR & Kaka and has nothing on who we buy.. whenever it's RM,Chelsea,Barca,City the fee will go up

Pedr Leon ? Milan were following him, now Madrid take him ? nah no way.
anyway I think the reason Di Maria's price is that much is because Benfica want to actually make profit since some of the money goes back to his old club or something.
Milan follow him but Getafe is like our B team and the president is a die hard socio ...
and yes you are right about Benfica paying to Di Maria old club it's always the case with Portugal clubs

fuck right off..

pedro leon is my first buy in fm whenever i play la liga.

i hate real madrid

The list grow, it's time you join the "white " side ;)

Dani Alves, 24 at the time, had played in Sevilla for a very long time and was a defender we were familiar off, in a league that is very hard on contrary to Portugeese league..
A player that had scored a goal and given an assist in a Copa America final, against Argentina. (as a RB)
actually it was 29 + 6.

So you're comparing Dani Alves to a player that no one knew who he was until this season?

so how could possibly dani alves 29 million offer have an effect on Ronaldos 94 million? can't see that really because you could easily have made 70 and they would have accepted.

thing is also; we had no one on RB spot aswell that was as good as Dani. you had Robben and you bought Ronaldo.. 20 mil loss on Robben and bought ronaldo for 94 millions.

Beast is right. We've been known to throw money and overpay as well. True, to a somewhat smaller extent. But that's only because Real has more money to throw to begin with, not because we were smarter.
Having said that we are blessed with Cantera to fall back on (see Sergi and Pedro these 2 seasons) so it's been easier on us.

The reason why we paid so much money for those players in the first place was because the market was inflated, thanks to Real Madrid.

Sorry but your argument doesn't hold. The market wasn't inflated before last summer and we bought Cacares the reason before that. Same as Dani Alves.

I'm not saying that we don't overpay, we certainly do, and I've been very critical of Txiki on many occasions. What I am saying though is that this year, as well as last year, Real Madrid are the guilty culprits.
Naturally, Barca have done the same before (Alves and Caceres to name two), and Barca will do it again, but there is a roundabout yearly re-evaluation of players' values, and as last year with Cronaldo, this year the surge in inflation is probably going to come from Madrid.

It's not just Barca and Madrid that do this either, it's all big clubs - well, most big clubs.

Point is, we need to get in the market and then out of it before this situation escalates, that is my point number one.
My point number two is that Real Madrid are not just overpaying, but significantly overpaying for Di Maria.
That's all really.

Are you suggesting the market wasn't inflated before last summer? What kind of parallel universe do you live in? The market has been inflated for a good number of years, I wasn't in anyway implying that Real Madrid is solely responsible for the inflated market, Chelsea, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona and other clubs are all responsible for the inflation but you can't deny the fact that Real Madrid is the main culprit here, with their Galactico signings, and not only that but also Real Madrid is arguably responsible for the all the other clubs overpaying for players. There's a reason why 4 out of the top 5 most expensive transfers of all time were by Real Madrid.

What I'm trying to say is, we wouldn't have spent so much on signing Dani Alves or Caceres or anyone if it wasn't for Real Madrid's Galactico policy in the early 2000's, the market has been inflating since the beginning of time, but that was just a massive catalyst and now football is suffering.

There will always be inflation. But the market was really inflated last season because of the Ronaldo transfer since everybody started thinking that their keyplayers are worth as much money as Ronaldo is. That's what I meant.
