Guest firetotheworks Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Real Madrid: 12 managers in 14 years. 16 trophies going by Wiki mind. 2 Champions Leagues, 5 La Ligas and 2 Copa Del Reys. It would be interesting to see how much they've spent in that time. In that time Barca has won by Wikipedia's count, 22* trophies and I imagine spent a fraction of what they have. It must feel pretty satisfying. *3 Champions Leagues, 7 La Ligas and 2 Copa Del Reys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Madrid have spent more than us; I'm not talking a significant magnitude (IIRC in the past six years we've spent around 500m and they have spent around 750m), but they have. And yes, we're quite bad in the transfer market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 That's because we're s*** in the transfer market. The academy bailed us out indeed. This season, if you don't count Vermaelen we've actually bought well I think. Ter Stegen, Bravo, Rakitic, Suárez have all been outstanding. Even Mathieu has been allright at the end. Funnily this 14 year period comprises both our best and worst periods in history, trophy-wise. What a weird club we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 yeah on paper this summer looked poor at the outset but it's worked out well in the end what're your thoughts on this summer, try to tie up deals now to go through in January or something? I think you need another striker tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Yeah, I'm surprised myself by how things have gone for us. I guess if Messi turns up that's all we need. Suárez has been majestic too once he's hit form, what a player. Xavi and Alves going leaves us with two big holes in the squad that we won't be able to fill until January. The idea is that we'll tie up deals for January, but I'm not sure how many players of calibre will agree to a winter move. We'll need another striker if Pedro leaves; guess we'll take a punt on Munir and see if he's up to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I don't know; say we and Madrid are trying to get Gundogan (been linked to both clubs in our press). Madrid can buy him in the summer, but we have to tell him to wait until January. That's a disadvantage. But well, we've ourselves to blame for that.
