The chances of Real Madrid winning (buying) silverware next season, on paper, seem pretty high, with the likes of kaka, ronaldo, maybe ribery? , and benzema, lets also not forget the ones who are already on the team: casillas, sergio ramos, robben, and guti. But seeing as how they only won the champions league once with zidane, roberto carlos, and figo, and after (now-fat)ronaldo joined the team they only won domestic titles.... Do they have what it takes to win big, or will all this superstardom cause them to flop?

Really? I really don't know It's a toss up weather they'll  Play well together

I think they will. The players are full of confidence. And are all eager to score

Yes, they will shine! And more, yes I agree with Ramos they are full with confidence! The only thing is hopefully they will not try to be the "star" that shines instead the "team" that shines!

They can shine and will they.... I don't know. They have a good chance but I think they will flop. just because I'm bias.

However I agree that it will take team effort and not star effort which is something everyone can bet on but we really have to wait and see how they mesh

Thay better do or.... .... Many things lol don't tell me thay will not do well with all of them signings ill be :0

They will if Pelligrini (is that how you spell the coaches name?) can deal with the superstars and use them to their fullest. He has to be tough and become ronaldo's stepfather hahaha

They might be good or they might be bad. Like look at barca when they bought Herny Zambrotta Abidal Milito Yaya people said they will win the league easily. But they didn't. But Madrid has a better back up squad

If they don't shine I think it will be because the players don't gell if kaka and Ronaldo gel well real madrid will shine. The whole season is up to those to I think

They'll go far in champions league, but they won't win

I don't know. It's definitely a toss-up. Bear in mind that AC Milan was known as the team of superstars, but they did not win the league

Its a tough one, we can't judge a team by its superstars may they can do better than the last season if they buy one more defender, and sell the extra players because if not done the team morale will take a beating. I think next season they will target the champions league

I don't think this season they will play well together, but I think in maybe a few years when they all get to know how each other plays they will be awesome together, but it will take 2-4 years me thinks

I think we're all forgetting something here. How hard is it for a team to all of a sudden "buy" their way to victory over a club who won La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the UEFA champions league. I don't know if anyone has noticed, but Barcelona have made zero (nil, zilch, nada, cero) transfers in or out this summer. They have Krcic and Dani Alves on their way up as Henry and Eto'o age, and Messi is, in some people's minds, the best player in the world. Iniesta has skyrocketed in performance, and the likes of Xavi, Puyol, and Toure have stayed strong. They dismantled the best defence in the world in Manchester United, and right when Real made a push for the league, Barca handed them a 6-2 thrashing at the Bernabeau. Are we really already righting Barcelona off just because they didn't go out and become better when they didn't really need to get better? We assume that chemistry is a given when the 3 most expensive players in the world are at the same club. JeeZ!

Real madrid will do very good this year, they will go very far in the champions league I don't know if they are going to win it or not, they will put up a very good fight with barcelona for la liga real madrid will go far very far...
