    I read Asensio has a 700 million Euro release clause too.

    Speaking of which, seems no one checks that thread even more. That thread was the reason i joined the forum 3 years ago. I just love it.

    Not yet. They usually release during mid-season.

    100 ME from the profit of our football club has been used to cover the losses of RM basketball team since 2014. Last year BB team recorded loss of 22.3 ME. Budget for 2017-18 will be 35.3 ME with revenue scarce(12.5 ME).

    No wonder Flo is not keen on Women's professional team. He said they will start an amateur team and train girls from grassroots rather than buy a spot in the Spanish top division and then bring in women stars from Germany, Brazil etc.

    I honestly don't know how anyone can enjoy watching European basketball when there's the NBA. It's like refusing to watch Real Madrid and watching Castilla instead.

    It doesn't matter, because the people in the U.S. follow it and watch it. Similar to European basketball.

    You don't even have to live in Europe IMO, when you are attached to a football club that you supported for so many years and you happen to like watching other sports too it's not unnatural to want to see how that club does in that sport especially when it's as excitingly competitive and diverse as European basketball.

    It may not be an NBA but there is enough rivalry among the teams and quality Ramos moments provided by the likes of our Llull to keep me interested in watching the basketball team.

    Exactly. I am interested in everything Real Madrid does. If they had a rowing team i'd watch their events too. I've seen a few of our basketball games although I've never lived in Spain. Some of those games were amazing. Sergio Llull is the Sergio Ramos of RM Baloncesto. If you like basketball as a sport you could do a lot worse than watching EuroBasket. And with so many European players now coming over to the NBA its actually quite interesting to see the elite ones playing here before they come over. I've watched some RM games just to see Luka Doncic.

    Yea, I did watch couple of Euro league finals when we were in it. Also few ACB games when they used to show it live. I've been supporting Lakers since 2000 so basketball is my 2nd favorite spot. Hope they can make basketball team more self sustainable and reduce the losses. Probably will have to reduce the budget gradually. Can't use 25 ME on average to cover BB expenses when there's more competition in football transfer market.

    So you're saying that this...

    is better than this?

    ????? lol

    You know, speaking of the MLS; I've met a lot of tards who LOOOOOVVEEEE American club soccer. Don't get me wrong, I love America and I'm proud to be an American (I even tried out for FC Dallas U-13/14 a long time ago - I did not get very far), but JESUS the amount of biased love that they have for everyone (from Landon Donovan to Freddy Adu to Michael Bradley and Tim Howard) is like on a different level of fan-boyism. The bullshit I hear when former players comment or "ESPN expert analyze" a match is unbearable. Just wait until we play the MLS All Stars again. That will be a lot of fun, not.

    @Nathanial Essex good to meet you and a delayed welcome to our RM BS family. In my experience, I have not met one European who likes the MLS. A couple of Spanish/South American guys I played club soccer with really liked playing as LA Galaxy on FIFA when they had Beckham, but I think that was it. Some of my friends today have been clamoring for a Chinese Super League inclusion into FIFA, now that I think about it.

    I believe I read earlier this year that our (much maligned) medical staff was let go, but now we are getting the same amount of injuries (I'd almost say more) as we did with our previous doctors. Carvajal now out for 2 months.

    So maybe they weren't the problem? What gives.

    I've been to as many Madrid basketball matches as Real Madrid football matches. When i can go see them play live, i always do. The level of basketball is worse, but it's a matter of liking the sport in general and being a fan of the club overall instead of just the football team.

    i think it's Florentino Perez' fault. You can't go wrong with that.
