I don't have a problem with these price tags. I mean those guys bring that money back we cannot compare with how things were even 10 years ago.

Eh, how long before we see €1 billion transfer fees/clauses for players?! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Quick, somebody kill me!

Um... that's already Ronaldo's buyout clause. yes, 1 billion.

It's funny how 10-15 years ago, the economy was stable and prices in football were low. Now that countries are on the verge of collapse, we have insane amounts governing the football world. Talk about paradox.

Its a stupid system and it'll cause european football to die. It'll get to the point where paying your interest payments alone won't be good enough and when the banks start recalling their loans is when these clubs will begin collapsing.

I'll say La Liga goes first with Barca and Madrid struggling.

Madrid struggle, lol.

They smashed the World transfer record twice in 1 transfer window. They made a profit that financial year.

If I pay 100 million for Cristiano Ronaldo, but agree to pay it at 10 million for the next 10 years, all my expenses are is at 10 million right??

As long as they can make the interest payments it's all fine. Banks generally don't like to recall loans, since it leaves a very bad impression on a bank's workings.

But the next few seasons will be interesting. Barca and Real had very quiet windows this season (relatively). The wage problem is going to hit them soon.

Surely the introduction of the Euro-currency did more damage than good, one can argue. It allowed countries like Greece, Spain, etc to borrow at the same low-rate that Germany (being the benchmark) would borrow at.

That's not what their account showed. It showed around 200m on transfer purchases (Kaka', Ronaldo + others), yet their overall numbers were still a profit. So even if they agreed to pay out the full transfer on the day, they'd make money overall.

If they did wat you said above (even if it's not shown that way in the accounts) there's even less chance FFP will have any impact on Madrid.

As for wages, they spent 200m on transfer in 1 summer and made money. Even if they spent 100m on transfers every year, their wages would have to increase 100m just to reach the crazy figure they paid to get Kaka'/Ronaldo. FFP isn't even on Madrid's radar.

That's too superficial I'd say. The problem is not the currency itself, the problem is that no side have kept their promises. Greece and Spain have problems but France have too. And it's not because they borrow at that rate. It's because Germany have kept inflation under 2%, which was the minimum agreed upon when Eurozone was founded and as a result increased their competitiveness against everybody as they increased their surplus against everyone else's deficits. But well, this is the Winter Transfers thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Maybe our management is doing the sensible thing after all and looking out for the club in the long run. And before everyone comes at me with the senators and their hefty contracts argument etc etc... Look, no one predicted this economical downfall, or at least no one took it that seriously before it started to really hit big western nations left and right. Hell, some people still are not taking it seriously. So again, maybe the management is doing the sensible thing here and getting rid of Ibra and Silva will finally seem beneficial to the club as the $hit starts to hit the fan everywhere.
