I would lose a lot of respect for him if he leaves the best team in Europe for some Chelsea wannabees.

Chelsea wannabees? Maybe Chelsea wanabee 9 times Champions League winners (hold on, they might just about manage once...one day)!!

To say that Real Madrid - tossers though they are - are Chelsea wannabees, is like saying that Man Utd are Man City wannabees!!! :rtfl

In terms of buying anyone they see as a threat...

I don't think they're like that anymore. Their signings last season included players just to fill gaps and build on their current team. The likes of Gago, Higuain, Drenthe, Dudek and Snjeider wouldn't have been seen as threats at all. Long gone is the time when Madrid were just buying the best player in the world every season just to stop them terrorising their own team. That's quite a silly comment to call them Chelsea Wannabes.

They are tapping up freakin' Ronaldo! Chelsea wannabes they are.

I'd say its more the other way around. Chelsea are Madrid wannabes, Madrid have been playing this market for a whole lot longer.

Listen both clubs are rich. So both are going to buy players. Madrid have been rich throughout and because of its huge fan base and marketing policies, will always be rich. Chelsea still depend on RA.

 

[MasterBlaster76]

Yeps, if RA took away his ball and went home, Chelsea would have problems.

well barca have gone an bought Seydou Keita for about 11 million...and Keita is supposed to be a defensive midfielder...and so is yaya...now i don't think they would spend that much money on the same type of player...UNLESS they want to get rid of him...and arsenal are on red alert following that...and with a big african influence and his own brother playing there, i don't think it will be that hard to convince him to come to arsenal...

Barca recently sold Edmilson to Villarreal so its pretty obvious that they would be looking to sign a defensive midfielder. It has nothing to do with selling Yaya Toure.

 

[evertonfan]

Lee stop being gay, why would Madrid want to be Chelsea? They've been doing what they do since before the Abramovich era!

but yaya is also a defensive midfielder if i am not mistaken and they wouldn't like to play second fiddle to each other would they...

 

[Leicester Fox]

Madrids lack of class and basically being a joke of a football club has finally annoyed man united, apparently we're telling Fifa :

 

[m_vaughan]

Man U can tell whomever they want.

Also Barca can and have always had two defensive midfielders. The whole point of buying Keita was having depth in that part.

 

[Bilal91]

well i still want to believe that he will be coming to arsenal...i mean the new manager is in and he will want to make some changes...and i know he is a class player but if the right kind of offer is put in, i think he would rather come to arsenal and play with his bro rather than stay there
