Surely not going to Stay at Monaco after this... Where do we think he's going? Where would he fit? Monty... Shut the **** up, we can't afford him.
Real Madrid. Absolutely and utterly nailed on. Barca get Suarez, Real get Rodriguez. Di Maria probs ends up at Monaco, which is a waste.
I'd fancy Real do the better business if that's the case. Would like to see that as I much prefer them to Barca.
I think they had to let one go and Benzema is probably more mobile, one of them had to go. Morata could be pressing for a game next season as well, funny thing at the minute, bar Suarez, is there any really great out and out strikers? Maybe RVP but he's nearly 30. It's odd, there isn't anyone looking like a genuine superstar striker coming through, anywhere.
Monaco have big money though plus huge tax benefits (which the french league have been clamping down on). Real would have to pay more than double what he is currently earning just to give him the same net wage and he's not going to be on a small amount now - they paid something like £60m for him didn't they? I don't see him going anywhere in the near future tbh
The fact that he said, 3 days ago, 'I want to play in Spain, and Real Madrid would be my preference' suggests otherwise. Fair point on salary, they paid £40million from Porto, but Real have never been scared to pay the big money. The whole world is talking about the lad, his Facebook page now has nearly 8 million likes, and he's a good looking lad. Madrid will make a firtune back from whatever they shell out.
Another Question... Bale, Ronaldo and Suarez all worth about £80 by modern standards. What's his value?
Probs a bit below that, he's had 2 good seasons in Europe though, so they'd look for around 60 mill I'd imagine.
What a choice to make mate! Personally, probably Madrid, just. There's somewhat more variation to it, Barca are looking at having 3 dribblers in there, when Rodriguez will give the ball a bit more, as does Bale. Lets be honest, both just look unreal, it might come down to who has the best holding and wing backs to back up the midfields, and on that Real edge it, by virtue of having Modric & Khedira to sit. I don't rate Busquets as highly as many, and it looks like Xavi, who's fading anyway will leave. Iniesta is still quality, but Xavi did make his life a little easier. Defence wise, Alba shades Marcelo, just, CB, Real walk it, RB, Alves is best of them, but Real will buy a RB I feel. 2 great sides and it will likely come down to management who wins it, Atletico are being ripped apart and it's gonna be incredibly tough for them to stay in touch.
I agree mate, Madrids forward line edge it for me aswell. Barca have just payed about 30m for Rakitic to replace Xavi. Defensively in mid they only really have Bushquets and Mascherano who seems to have converted to a CB for them. Madrid also have Xabi Alonso to play that holding role.
