if it's Sevilla then Juan Carlos will be shitting it.

Meta.

I reckon it's Depor.

I'd be a bit surprised if it turns out to be Sevilla, given the timing. (The Christian) Holy Week is something they take very seriously in Andalucia.

Well I would welcome a move that would put another heavyweight team on the La Liga table, though they should by no way change the name to Team Dubai.

It's actually Getafe, Madrid feeder club.

We're doomed.

 

[XaviMessiGirl]

Yep I'm reading that too...

Money in the game can be a good thing. I just hope that they are not the next ManC or Chelsea. There should be a salary cap or something that limits a team from spending outrageous amount of money to acquire a player.
Like someone said above, if it breaks the whole vicious cycle of either Barca or RM winning every year and have few more valid competitions, I'm all for it. Tougher the league better it is.

ANY MONEY on it being Sevilla. (who have had domestic success in previous years)

I'm hopeful of that...

Reuters report it's actually Getafe , sold for 90 Mil

 

[Antimilan]

Good for Madrid..

What are they going to do with Getafe? 90 million is a steep price, but I guess that is what you pay for a healthy club.

Noisy neighbours would be Alcorcon though... Both the top flight teams haven't got the balls to be that
