Deep Pocketed Galacticos

To the Real Madrid Club de Futbol, grand purchasers of Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, I have two things to say:

1. Please pay me. I’m unemployed, sure as hell aren’t making any money off of this blog, and need the money. What’s another couple million gonna hurt? I’ll even play for free if you agree to an exorbitant transfer fee to my club, Dynamo Sports Tsar. I They accept cash or PayPal – just no money orders, as I they are too lazy to go to the bank. This would be a grand gesture, considering your denizens mugged and chloroformed me on a weekend trip to Madrid to see your team play. We’ll call it even.

2. Thank you, thank you, thank you for handing next year’s Premiership crown to Chelsea FC. With Manchester United likely crippled after a loss as big as Ronaldo, they may even drop out of the Big Four. Sure they’d love to spend to bring someone else in, but who is even out there on the market?

Furthermore, Galacticos, you give the world one more HUGE reason to hate you. As if being the royal oppressors of Spain during fascist times wasn’t enough, you have brought in this much despised winker to solidify your douche.

  • Also, I like how there's an ad displayed at the side inviting fans to meet the Man U players. Naturally, Ronaldo is pictured in Man U garb
  • I'd love to see Robben back at Stamford Bridge as well. Dude is a pro.
  • As a Chelsea fan, I can only smile at the systematic dismantling of Manchester United and their vulcan-grip on the Premier League. With Ronny a goner and potentially Tevez next in line, who do they have to fill the gaps? The good news for Manc fans lies in the now vacant central-striking spot which Wayne 'Wazza' Rooney will be ready to fill. But the team is aging, with the likes of Van der Saar, Neville, Giggs, and Scholes at the tail-end of their respective careers. Let's see if Ferguson can splash the cash and bolster the squad with some promising young talent, and not, as is being reported, players like Antonio Valencia.

    Expect an announcement in the next ten days that Real Madrid have also picked up Valencia's David Villa (best striker in Spain) for a tidy sum. Odds are they'll make a move for Ribery provided they can find a buyer for odd-man-out Arjen Robben (COME BACK TO CHELSEA!) and they might take a swing at picking up a class central defender while they're at it (Ferdinand/Mexes/Gallas/Terry). There's no end to the madness at the Bernabu.

    I equate this situation to a girl that's been the ugliest of her friends for years, and has recently come into a wealth of cash courtesy of her intoxicated mother's aloofness and unconcerned step-father. So she goes out and buys everything she ever wanted, and gets a makeover to boot. But does this all even out and produce the end result (winning the treble) or does it crash and burn in the end like these stories tend to. Let's not forget that the previous iteration of the 'galacticos' era with Beckham, Zidane, Ronaldo, Raul, and Figo didn't do as great as many seem to want to believe.

    This team is different, though, and mixing Ronaldo, Villa, and Kaka with the likes of Sneidjer, Van der Vaart, Pepe, Metzelder, Sergio Ramos, Casillas, Raul, Robben, Drenthe, Cannavaro, Diarra, Huntellar, and Van Nistelrooy, make them dangerous any day of the week.
