Madrid are, and always were a big team. With the recent re-takeover by Florentino Perez, the club has started spending Millions and Millions on players.
They are trying to buy everyone.
Some even say that they are destroying football, and I agree....
They recently made a 63 million euro offer for Milan's Alexander Pato, which is rediculous.
Money isn't everything.
What do you think?

I have no respect for madrid mainly because most other teams try to build a team while the try to buy a team. I like what teams like arsenal, barcalona and united are doing. They find youth with talent and turn them into stars but madrid just wait in the shadows for the youngster to turn stars they bribe they with extra large salaries. I think that if english clubs were like madrid I would watch football anymore

How can anyone say madrid are ruining football, they deserve to have the best players in the world due to them being the best team in the world, its the clubs who should be disgraced for asking for that stupid money for them players, those players all want to play for madrid & would go there for free.
But as for city, they are the ones ruining football, they are the ones who no player wants to play for unless they get the ridiculous money, that why clubs ask for an extra 10-15 for them to go to city. If a player wants to go city he is there for the money, but if they want to go madrid they are more than likely there for the history

Exactly like what I felt. They ARE destroying, no doubt. They neutralise a player's love for the club with a stupid thing called Money. A very good example is Kaka. He was giving his heart out for Milan and was with such an affection for the club. But what happened? The owners said, 'Money is hard to resist!'.
This is ridiculous really. This means they can buy any player from any club? Huh? I bet every owner would say the same dialogue if they were offered 70M hot cash.
These activities make the love and passion for the club to extinct.
They should learn to create Glory instead of 'buying' it

And yes, I am afraid that they would grab away our Pato. I am pretty sure our stupid owners would definitely give away Pato, if Madrid offers 65M+

Not exactly but something like that. Like praga said Money is hard to resist.
You should respect a player's love for his club and try not to chase. For example, kaka was like a club player wearing T-shirts with slogan"I Belong To Milan" but now what happened, he belongs to Madrid. Now he is wasted at Madrid, he is not the same Kaka.
No offense to madrid fans I have to say that Madrid are destroying Footballer and which in turn destroys Football!I'm not a madrid Basher but I hate their Transfer policies

Most player never wants to play for madrid the money makes them say that. Ronalso was the greatest young talent out, if he wanted to play for madrid he would have went instead of going to united. Even beckham said he regretted going to madrid because he had love only for united. Ronaldo too missed united, if you have been reading the papers lately you would realize that.
First he wants rooney to join him in spain
Second he say he missed united
Third he wants madrid fans to be more like united fans

Those are signs that he is already regretting his decision to leave

Yes, they are, if they are going to keep spending the way that they do every year. I hate when clubs decide that they can just buy championship trophies with all the riches that they have. That is why I don't like Chelsea, because their club as a whole has the worst mentality. The same can be said for Man City, but they are even harsher. They fired Hughes when he looked like he could bring the team back up towards the top five. With money comes a lot of expectations, so managers are going to be sacked and sacked until a trophy has been won, which isn't how it should be. Look at Sir Alex and Arsene Wenger, they've been at the helm for a long time and have won numerous trophies. Real Madrid with all the money they've spent should be on top of La Liga, but they aren't and they couldn't beat Barcelona. I feel that all the money that they spend on big time players will bring in a lot of clashing egos. Barcelona play as a team and Real Madrid seem to rely on too many star players. They're now chasing Rooney as I heard. As for Ronaldo, he isn't worth all that money. Sure he's good, but putting such a high price tag on a player can really unsettle them with all the hype and expectation. Plus, clubs in they huge spending sprees accumulate a lot of debt and many of the big clubs are in debt, especially Real Madrid. It is in fact destroying football as we know it

As a Real Madrid fan I know Florentino's Perez transfer policy which is to buy 2 or 3 of the best players in the world like he used to do 5 years ago with Ronaldo, Figo, Zidane and Beckham but he bought them one/year which was ok. Now he spent almost 300 mil dollars in only one summer and he is not stopping here. I don't think it's fair to the other clubs and it is not a fair-play move. I think Platini should put a limit on each transfer window at about 150 mil dollars.... So all the transfers a club can make in one transfer window(summer or winter) should be at maximum 150 mil dollars...

Well, they lost to my favorite Spanish side Bilbao yesterday.... Proves that money can't win anything and that buying all of those players is not a good thing

Keep deceiving yourselves.... Am sure you all were once 'supporters' of the fanciful way in which Real Madrid played at the beginning of the decade.... Never mind.... The only reason why Madrid and Perez had to spend such an amount of money in recuperation was partly cos of his political ambitions I'll give you that.... But also because of the poor performances of the previous campaign.... We' lost so many and gotten none in return (for example, Robinho to city, De la red to injury, Cannavaro, Emerson, Baptista)
Let me remind you that these were all key players of the regime.... Hence in other to stage a contest, this season, we had to reorganize and rebuild....

You claim we only have a knack for buying stars.... Then tell me what players like Marcelo, drenthe, Lassana diarra, Mahamadou diarra, Casillas, Arbeloa, Granero, Raul, Higuain, Albiol, Pepe, Garay etc are doing in our team.... Our first 11 is made up of up to 7 players who either are not finished products or have evolved from the youth of this team....

Kaka, Ronaldo, Xabi Alonso, Benzema.... Great buys which everyone one would want in their team.... But make no mistake.... We do not depend on them, we play as team and for everyone....

Higuain is an example of the excellence at the Bernabeu.... Came here in 2006 at the gae of 19 from River plate.... And now look what he is.... Marcelo, Gago, Granero, Negredo.... The list goes on....
