FSU Players Abroad [R]

It is confirmed though, I just don't see it happening. He won't get a chance, they are bringing in Villa. Only possiblity to play would be Henry's replacement on LW but that is pedro's right now.

 

Barcelona don't have the money at the moment. If they are going to splash it's going to be for Cesc or Silva or someone young.

 

15 million is not exactly chump change in whatever currency.

 

Villa -> Barca to replace Ibra
Silva -> Real

book it

 

with spanish politcs and banks, it is in a way. they spent 60-70 on ibra, 5 on maxwell.

thing is they develop 60% of their squad and then buy the rest.

they can sell hleb to make up some money for arshavin

 

Who are they going to sell Ibra to?

Silva I could see. I still can't fathom why any player would pick Real over Barca, and don't say money because they both pay well.

 

Well I can't think of a big club that does that better.

 

Seriously, do you even follow what goes on at that club?

 

I didn't say that in negative way, but as in positive. As in they don't need to buy a team.

 

Dima is right. That's why Beckham, Ronaldo, Kaka have wanted to go to Real all their careers.

Figo? speaks for itself

 

Juve, Man City would easily and readily shell out out 25-30 mill euros for ibra.

 

I know.

It is interesting to compare how big clubs work

United for example has a very good academy, but they just sell off all their players to the Championship and lower Premier teams, and use the money to fund their big money buys.

Barca's team is mostly homegrown and successful.

Arsenal tries it, but is not that good at it.

Real just buys up every good young Latin player and hopes they turn out fine.

 

Yeah, and it ruins half of them. I'd rather play at a club where guys in training aren't trying to break your legs. Donovan talked about the difference between Everton and Bayern like that.

 

I would happily sign for Everton.


But seriously I was just using Donovan's words to echo what I have heard a lot about clubs. Read soccernomics and you'll get a better idea what I mean. There is a reason that a club like Lyon does very well every year, despite selling all of its best players each year, and Real bombs out in the first round.

 

whats socernomics?
