Talking bout Barcelona, they are a broken club, they're bad financially. they have no clue how to manage their financial better. Their management deserved to be jailed. They're nothing without being funded. lol
In contrast with Madrid, which is financially well managed by Perez. This is the key how they can always survive in any of difficult situation. Unlike Barcelona, which may go bankrupt if they keep suffer financial lose.
I said transfer fee. Those are 2 different things. Normally when you sign a player, you pay a fee to their team as well you know. But Real Madrid didn't have to pay such fee. Can you imagine how much the financial burden could have been if they paid like 200-300 million euros more? Otherwise of course it wasn't a completely free signing. But it was worth it anyway considering you are signing one of the best players in the world.
There is only a day left for the Valencia - Real Madrid game. I still expect Real Madrid to win comfortably by at least a gap of 2 goals. It would be a good start to the new year for them. Valencia are having just a horrible season I'm afraid. I don't expect a big resistance.
