Money talk in football!

on July 19, 2011 None comments

In our days you can’t have a quality football without a huge amount of money to invest in players season after season, with the hope that you will choose the one fit for your team.

And like a team that respect their status, Barcelona and Real are always in competition for the best players. So, Alexis and Fabregas would cost Barcelona almost 100 million euros, along with the first installation, wages. Mourinho threw also a lot of money to make sure that his tea beats Barcelona this season. Nuri Sahin, Callejón, and Coentrao Varane have so far cost Real around 55 million euros.

But for Real is not over yet. If Neymar will sign with them, they will reach 100million euros for the 5 players! And the two clubs certainly will not stop here, managing to reach a certain record in terms of amounts of transfers this summer!

Guardiola said: “We have enough money for Fabregas and Alexis. I cannot until Sanchez will be here because he is a player we need, to our liking, I hope this story will be one with a happy ending here in Barcelona. And regarding Fabregas, we won’t give up! We will fight for him until the last day of transfers.”

All these things can only bring happiness for us because it seems that this year Primera will be a disputed one.

Barca and Real at war

on July 17, 2011 None comments

Last days have been very interesting for the new “pearl” of Brazil, Neymar, after he set the fuse and started a new war between Spain’s biggest teams, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

It was rumored a few days ago that Real Madrid would have an understanding with Carioca’s striker, a deal after which Santos will receive 45 million euros plus a loan of Neymar in 2012 season.

Catalans have remained impassive in Real offers and decided it is time to act: they made the same offer plus 5 million.

The interesting thing is that the supply of 50 million euros will be honored as soon as accepted by the leadership of Santos, Barcelona wanting only that the public to know that any offer of Real for Neymar could always be beaten.

Club which owns Neymar at the moment won’t stay relaxed about the situation, and after coming back from Copa America, the leaders will offer a new contract, thus trying to force up the price of striker and force the two clubs from Spain to open their pockets even more.

Is he that a good of a player or Barcelona wants to strike in Jose Murinho’s ego?
