Official: Real Madrid sign £26.9m Fabio Coentrao from Benfica

did you see him against Barca hmmmm :/

Yeah Pepe was playing beast in that defensive mid position.

pepe got sent off and cost them the game... did you see diarra in the second leg? he was madrids best player

With Neymar and Carlos Tevez also supposedly on their way, they are gonna need a bigger bench.

What are they going to do with Di Maria, Arebloa, Benzema, Higuaine, Khedira, Diaara, Granero and the rest!? Yet they buy all top class players but wont win f*ck all again!

Well those players are gona be tossed in the recycling bin for lower league teams to pick up, Real Mardrid will then go another year falling short to Barcelona and by next summer they will buy a host of other players to mount another challenge the following season.
That's pretty much been their cycle for the last 6 years. Who knew replacing the likes of Zidane, Ronaldo, Figo, Carlos etc... would be this hard.

Yeah agree.. but there hasn't been a single news of madrid offloading players, it's madrid bought this that.. they also need to sell some to make space.

Sometimes i think players are fool to sign for madrid but then, I realize that they are the most decorated club in football.

Its because barca players are from out of this world man, they're freaking aliens dude, they know what we are thinking and our moves before we even say or do anything man. They can't be stopped.

am not saying it was.. every club is doing it but this is a short-term fix, real don't hv a good youth academy as it used to be back then.. they are dependent on big-money signings.
