James Rodriguez

[KingMessi]

Madrid "reject" captained Barca not that long ago.

Said Madrid reject, rejected Madrid by leaving on a free transfer too.

so instead of Madrid reject he is the Madrid Rejecter

So paying a tonne for Ronaldo was understandable, Bale not fully but it ended up working out pretty well so far, and Suarez you can understand. But this, if they pay that much for James then WUUUUUT?! Egg might end up on everybody's faces again though like with Bale, but the difference is this kid hasn't made any waves in a league worth mentioning when it comes to his price tag.

The deal Suarez is absolutely not comparable to Rodriguez, Ronaldo, Bale,...

Players purchased (by paying a tonne) at the age of

Ronaldo 24
Bale 24
Neymar 21
Rodriguez 23

Suarez 27 y.o. (4 months ban, without training, he can play from November, with a bit of luck in January he will be fit enough to play, when he will be 28y.o)


3-4 years or more difference in term of a soccer player career tharefore also in term of a (tonne) financial investement, is a HUGE difference.

Talking mainly about player ability, but yeah all things considered it's different, Barca are pretty stupid when it comes to big money transfers.

Better than 50m for Torres though, at least Suarez isn't broken goods.

From AS:

- RM reserved a loft for James arrival next week.
- RMTV prepared the videos for the presentation.
- James will bear the number 10 on his RM shirt.

Talking about age over footballing qualities.......... Hilarious.

Zidane. 2001. 29 years of age. €77.5m to Real Madrid.

 

[Adversus]

James Martinez will be worth every cent.

 

[Antimadridista1]

He's over-rated imo.
Worth 35/40m euro, no more.

 

[Die Bayern]

I've long stopped trying to make sense of the deals Madrid make. Not worth it, it's beyond me.
